Lam Research stock jumps on Mizuho target hike as chip-tool rally sets up next earnings test

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 06:12 EST — The market has closed. Lam Research (LRCX.O) shares jumped 8.7% on Friday, closing at $218.36. The boost came after Mizuho lifted its price target on the chip equipment maker to $220 from $200. The rally coincided with a wider upswing in semiconductor stocks that sent the PHLX chip index to a new record. (Reuters) The move comes as investors wrestle with the speed of Federal Reserve rate cuts this year, while growth stocks sensitive to rates remain focused on inflation and labor numbers. Following Friday’s jobs report, traders lowered near-term easing bets,

Experian PLC stock jumps into weekend — what investors watch before the Jan. 21 update

London, Jan 10, 2026, 09:48 GMT — Market closed Experian shares closed Friday up 2.05% at 3,478 pence, outpacing the FTSE 100’s 0.8% gain. The stock fluctuated between 3,405p and 3,510p during the session. It’s trading roughly 15% below its 52-week peak of 4,101p, yet well above the year’s low of 3,049p.

The price-to-earnings ratio stands near 29, a standard valuation metric, according to data from Hargreaves Lansdown. With the London market closed for the weekend, focus shifts to what lies ahead rather than past trades.

OCBC stock slips after JPMorgan downgrade — what to watch before Monday trade

SINGAPORE, Jan 10, 2026, 14:50 SGT — Market closed Shares of Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp (OCBC) fell 1.8% on Friday to close at S$19.80 after JPMorgan downgraded the Singapore lender to “neutral” from “overweight” and lifted its target price to S$20.50. DBS gained 0.5% and UOB was little changed as Singapore’s benchmark index ended slightly higher. (The Straits Times) The move matters because the local bank trade has become crowded early in 2026, helped by dividends and a hunt for steady names amid choppy headlines. UOB Kay Hian analyst Jonathan Koh called the sector “attractive value” and said, “We also like

GE Vernova stock slips after Baird downgrade flags turbine oversupply risk ahead of Jan. 28 results

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 18:18 EST — After-hours Shares of GE Vernova Inc (GEV) fell about 0.9% in after-hours trading on Friday after Baird downgraded the power and grid equipment maker, warning that fresh competition could cool a market investors have treated as supply-tight. The stock was last at about $622.50, after swinging between $612.06 and $640.21 during the session. The downgrade matters now because a big slice of the bull case has been pricing power — the idea that utilities and data center-led demand will keep turbine and grid gear scarce enough to hold up margins.

Constellation Brands stock edges up after earnings beat, but Modelo demand warning lingers

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 15:37 EST — Regular session Constellation Brands, Inc. shares edged higher on Friday as investors digested the brewer’s trimmed profit outlook and a blunt message from management that beer demand is still choppy. Shares were up 0.1% at $148.13, after trading between $146.12 and $149.72 in the session. Constellation beat quarterly sales and profit estimates on Wednesday, then cut its fiscal 2026 earnings-per-share outlook to $9.72-$10.02 from $9.86-$10.16 and reiterated a 4% to 6% decline in organic net sales — a measure that strips out the impact of acquisitions and divestitures — for the year

XRP price slips near $2 after Ripple’s UK FCA win — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 13:40 EST — Regular session XRP fell 1.9% to $2.09 on Friday, after touching $2.15 earlier in the session. Bitcoin eased 0.4% and ether fell about 1%. The dip came as traders weighed Ripple’s latest UK regulatory clearance against a cooler tone across risk assets. The UK move matters because it gives Ripple a fresh regulatory foothold in a major payments hub, at a time when crypto firms are trying to look more like infrastructure and less like a trade. XRP, a token tied closely to Ripple headlines, tends to react fast when regulation shifts.

Why Signet Jewelers (SIG) stock is sliding as Pandora flags weak U.S. holiday demand

Why Signet Jewelers (SIG) stock is sliding as Pandora flags weak U.S. holiday demand

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:36 EST — Regular session Signet Jewelers Ltd shares fell 5.3% to $85.29 on Friday afternoon, after opening lower and sliding as far as $83.10. The stock last closed at $90.05. The move matters because Signet sits in the middle of the U.S. holiday gifting season — the stretch that can make or break the year for jewelry sellers. A sour read-through from overseas didn’t help, and investors are quick to price in any wobble in discretionary spending. Pandora rattled the space earlier on Friday when it cut its 2025 organic sales growth forecast to
