Goldman Sachs stock slips after Apple Card handoff to JPMorgan — what Wall Street watches next

Goldman Sachs stock slips after Apple Card handoff to JPMorgan — what Wall Street watches next

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 20:58 EST — Market closed The Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS) is handing the Apple Card to JPMorgan Chase’s (JPM) Chase unit, ending the Wall Street bank’s stint as issuer of the co-branded card, the companies said. Goldman shares slipped 0.66% to $934.83 on Thursday. Mastercard will remain the payment network. The handoff lands just ahead of earnings, and it sharpens Goldman’s retreat from consumer lending, a push that has drawn investor scrutiny for years. “This transaction substantially completes the narrowing of our focus in our consumer business,” Chief Executive David Solomon said.

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 19:42 EST — After-hours trading kicked off and was in progress. Mastercard Incorporated shares stayed flat in after-hours trading Thursday following Apple’s announcement that JPMorgan Chase will take over as the new issuer of the Apple Card, with Mastercard continuing as the payment network.

Apple stock slips as India antitrust fine risk resurfaces and JPMorgan takes over Apple Card

Apple stock slips as India antitrust fine risk resurfaces and JPMorgan takes over Apple Card

New York, January 8, 2026, 16:07 ET — After-hours Apple (AAPL.O) shares fell 0.7% to $258.58 in late trading on Thursday, valuing the iPhone maker at about $3.0 trillion. The stock, trading at roughly 30 times trailing earnings, swung between $255.83 and $260.25. The move comes as investors trim exposure to large technology stocks early in the year, when fresh U.S. data can shift interest-rate bets fast. Higher bond yields can hit growth stocks because they make future profits worth less in today’s money. For Apple, the timing matters because the company is leaning harder on services like payments and

Goldman Sachs stock slips as Apple Card handoff puts a Q4 earnings bump on the table

New York, January 8, 2026, 14:57 EST — Regular session Goldman Sachs shares were down 0.7% on Thursday after The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. said it struck an agreement to transition the Apple Card program and associated accounts to JPMorgan Chase’s Chase. Goldman said the move should lift its fourth-quarter 2025 earnings by about $0.46 a share, driven by a $2.48 billion release of loan-loss reserves — money set aside for expected credit losses — even as it takes a $2.26 billion hit to net revenue tied to markdowns and contract costs.

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 12:43 EST — Regular session Mastercard Incorporated shares rose on Thursday after Apple said JPMorgan Chase will become the new issuer of the Apple Card while Mastercard remains the payment network. Mastercard stock was up about 0.8% at $584.47 in midday trading. Reuters The Apple Card is a rare, high-profile co-brand in U.S. consumer finance, and networks fight hard to keep those deals. For Mastercard, staying on as the “payment network” — the rails that route card purchases between merchants and banks — helps ring-fence volumes even as the issuing bank changes. Apple and Chase

NEW YORK, January 8, 2026, 10:10 EST — Regular session Apple shares fell about 1.5% to $256.36 in morning trade on Thursday as investors digested a change in the Apple Card partnership that will shift the co-branded credit card to JPMorgan Chase from Goldman Sachs. AP News Apple and Chase said the handover is expected to take about 24 months, with Mastercard staying as the payment network.

Apple stock slips today as Apple Card shifts to JPMorgan, payrolls and earnings loom

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 09:34 EST — Regular session Apple (AAPL.O) shares slid 0.8% to $260.33 in early trading on Thursday. The stock closed at $262.32 on Wednesday. The move keeps attention on Apple’s services and payments push, a piece of the story that tends to matter more when hardware demand looks harder to read. Investors have also started treating big-tech leadership as less stable than it looked a few months ago. The broader tape was cautious ahead of Friday’s U.S. nonfarm payrolls report, after data this week pointed to slower hiring even as layoffs stayed relatively low. “Both

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 17:18 EST — After-hours Goldman Sachs shares fell 1.7% to $941.02 in after-hours trading on Wednesday after the Wall Street Journal reported JPMorgan Chase had reached a deal to take over Apple’s credit-card program from the Wall Street bank.

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 16:45 EST JPMorgan Chase has struck a deal to take over Apple Inc.’s credit-card program from Goldman Sachs, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 16:28 EST — After-hours Alphabet’s non-voting Class C shares climbed on Wednesday, lifting the Google parent above Apple in market value for the first time since 2019. https://www.barrons.com/articles/alphabet-stock-apple-market-cap-625151cc The shift matters because it shows where the money is hiding right now: investors are still willing to pay up for companies tied to artificial intelligence, even as the broader tape turns choppy. It also puts Alphabet back in the same conversation as Nvidia at the top end of U.S. equity valuations. Alphabet’s Class C stock (GOOG) was up about 2.5% at $322.46 after the bell. Apple

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 16:02 EST — After-hours Apple Inc (AAPL.O) shares fell 0.7% to $260.53 in late regular trade on Wednesday, still below their 52-week high of $288.62, with about 56 million shares changing hands. The dip left the iPhone maker briefly behind Alphabet as the No. 2 U.S. company by market value, trailing Nvidia, according to reports.
