Fiserv stock dips today after new shareholder probe headline — what FISV investors watch next

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 15:17 EST — Regular session Shares of Fiserv, Inc. dipped 0.8% to $66.97 on Thursday, retreating from Wednesday’s $67.50 close. The drop followed news that shareholder-rights firm Bragar Eagel & Squire is probing potential claims related to a securities class action. (GlobeNewswire) The timing is crucial as investors seek clear signals on spending ahead of earnings season, with payment processors often reacting to such data.

ConocoPhillips stock slips in regular session as oil tumbles — what to watch before Feb. 5 earnings

New York, January 15, 2026, 13:34 (ET) — Regular session ConocoPhillips shares slipped 0.6% to $99.69 in early afternoon trading on Thursday, tracking a sharp drop in crude prices. Exxon Mobil fell 0.4%, Chevron lost 0.3% and Occidental Petroleum dropped about 2.4%. The move matters now because the market has been peeling back the “risk premium” in oil — the extra price traders pay when supply disruptions look more likely. When that cushion disappears, producers like ConocoPhillips usually feel it first. Investors are also juggling new company headlines and position-setting ahead of earnings. The stock has bounced in recent sessions,

Devon Energy stock nears 52-week high as call options heat up and oil turns lower

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 08:17 EST — Premarket Devon Energy (DVN) shares closed up 2.93% at $37.92 on Wednesday, putting the U.S. shale producer within roughly 2.5% of its 52-week high. About 16.7 million shares traded, a busy day for a stock that has been churning with crude headlines. (Devon Energy) That set-up comes as oil prices swung again overnight. Brent and U.S. West Texas Intermediate fell more than 3% on Thursday as comments from U.S. President Donald Trump eased fears of a hit to Iranian supply, while a sharp rise in U.S. crude and gasoline inventories also weighed.

TSMC stock slips before U.S. open after record profit; big capex plan back in focus

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 04:54 EST — Premarket Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co’s shares listed in the U.S. dropped 1.2% in premarket trading Thursday, despite the chipmaker posting a record-breaking fourth-quarter profit that surpassed expectations. (Reuters) This print matters because TSMC dictates the rhythm for the entire chip supply chain — spanning from equipment manufacturers to leading AI chip designers. The market is weighing whether the upcoming phase hinges on demand or spending. This comes as investors shift their attention to 2026 budgets, with chipmakers once more discussing capacity expansion instead of cuts. TSMC reported a 20.5% jump in fourth-quarter

(Investing.com) The stock dipped around 2.3%, hovering near 433 pence, following a close of 443.5 pence on Wednesday, according to data from Investing.com. This update is key as BP pushes to persuade investors that its renewed focus on oil and gas will boost returns, despite weaker crude prices and increasing pressure on cash payouts.

NAB share price jumps 1% after ASX close as rate and rotation bets collide

Sydney, Jan 15, 2026, 17:16 AEDT — After-hours Shares of National Australia Bank climbed 1.1% on Thursday, closing at A$42.36, recovering after a weak stretch for Australian bank stocks earlier this week. (MarketScreener Australia) Movements in NAB and its counterparts remain crucial, with the “big four” banks still carrying much of the weight in local portfolios. This holds true even as investors pile into miners amid a metals rally and weigh the chances of another Australian rate hike. Policy remains the key near-term driver. Traders are closely eyeing inflation data alongside the Reserve Bank of Australia’s upcoming move. The market

Westpac (ASX:WBC) stock slips after share-rights filings and treasurer move — what investors watch next

Sydney, Jan 15, 2026, 17:23 AEDT — Trading after hours. Shares of Westpac Banking Corp dipped 0.3% to A$38.17 on Thursday, after fluctuating between A$38.66 and A$38.09 during the session. The stock wrapped up the week mostly flat, as investors focused on regulatory filings and executive changes instead of fresh earnings updates. (Yahoo Finance) The timing is key as Australia’s major banks react sharply to minor cues during a typically slow stretch in the calendar. With light trading volumes, even routine capital-market filings and executive exits tend to grab outsized attention. Banks have returned to the center of rate speculation.

American Express stock (AXP) ends flat as Trump’s 10% credit-card cap keeps policy risk in play

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 21:06 EST — Market closed. American Express shares ended Wednesday slightly higher, gaining 0.07% to close at $358.26. The stock steadied after a volatile start to the week for credit card companies. U.S. bank stocks remained under pressure as investors weighed President Donald Trump’s efforts to limit credit card interest rates. (Finviz) The policy debate is crucial since American Express and other card issuers depend heavily on interest income and fees.

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 20:04 EST — Market closed Nebius Group N.V. shares ended Wednesday down 3.3%, closing at $101.98. During the session, the stock fluctuated between $99.39 and $106.37. The decline came after two volatile sessions this week, with the stock jumping almost 10% on Monday before slipping back on Tuesday. (StockAnalysis) The swings matter because Nebius finds itself caught in a tight spot: investors want a stake in AI computing growth, but the real question is who profits when power, hardware, and capital are all bottlenecks.

Pfizer stock rises as CEO bets on “Viagra-like” obesity demand; what investors watch next

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 19:09 EST — After-hours Shares of Pfizer (PFE.N) climbed Wednesday as investors focused on the company’s move into obesity treatments, now the key battleground in the pharmaceutical sector. The stock closed regular hours roughly 1.7% higher, settling at $25.58. After-hours trading remained subdued. The obesity story is crucial for Pfizer as it seeks to regain steady growth following the drop-off in COVID-era sales and faces looming patent expirations on major drugs that could invite cheaper competitors.

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 16:01 ET — After-hours Nvidia stock (NVDA.O) slipped 1.6% to $182.79 late Wednesday after Reuters reported that Chinese customs told agents the company’s H200 AI chips can’t enter the country. Officials also cautioned local tech firms against buying them unless absolutely necessary. It’s not clear if this amounts to an official ban. Rhodium Group strategist Reva Goujon suggested Beijing might be “pushing to see what bigger concessions they can get” ahead of President Donald Trump’s April visit to meet Xi Jinping.
