London, Jan 13, 2026, 08:20 GMT — Regular session Barclays PLC shares (BARC.L) jumped 1.7% to 481.2 pence in early Tuesday trading, recovering some losses after a steep fall the previous day.

Rolls-Royce stock: fresh buyback update hits before London open as FY25 results loom

London, Jan 13, 2026, 07:59 GMT — Premarket update. Rolls-Royce Holdings plc revealed it purchased 446,323 shares on Monday under its ongoing £200 million interim share buyback scheme, according to a regulatory filing published early Tuesday. (Stockopedia) The flow matters since company news is light this week, making the buyback one of the rare planned demand drivers ahead of earnings. A share buyback happens when a company buys back its own shares and cancels them, cutting the total share count. Rolls-Royce announced its interim buyback programme will run until Feb. 24, just before its FY25 results are due on Feb.

ServiceNow stock rises after Goldman initiates coverage as CPI, earnings near

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 20:16 EST — The market has closed. ServiceNow shares rose 0.6% to $142.64 in late Monday trading.

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 19:21 EST — After-hours Shares of Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. (EVTV) surged 442% on Monday, closing at $2.51, and climbed another 21% in after-hours trading.
