Johnson & Johnson stock rises after Delaware court pares Auris damages as earnings near

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 18:44 EST — After-hours Johnson & Johnson shares climbed roughly 2.6% to $209.72 in after-hours Monday, following Delaware’s Supreme Court tossing out a portion of a nearly $1 billion damages award linked to its 2019 surgical-robotics acquisition.

As J&J prepares to report earnings next week, shifts in the amount or timing of any payout will draw close scrutiny. It also touches on another investor theme. On Monday, J&J’s management pitched a growth story

Diageo stock (DGE.L) in focus after Kenya court delays $2.3 billion EABL sale to Asahi

London, Jan 11, 2026, 08:08 GMT — The market has closed. Diageo’s London-listed shares face uncertainty on Monday as a Kenyan court delays a hearing tied to its $2.3 billion asset sale.

Despite the delay, those involved still anticipate completing the deal in the second half of the year. The case was brought by Kenyan beer distributor Bia Tosha, linked to

Visa stock edges up as DOJ presses debit antitrust case; traders eye Jan. 16 court update

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 11:43 EST — Regular session Visa Inc. shares inched higher on Tuesday after U.S. antitrust enforcers signaled they want to keep moving their debit-network case forward despite a fight over the timetable.

Uber stock rises after-hours as insider filing and court fight draw attention

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 19:11 ET — After-hours Uber Technologies (UBER) shares rose 0.8% to $82.12 in after-hours trading on Tuesday, after earlier moving between $81.50 and $82.49.
