Alphabet stock edges up before the open as Apple taps Google Gemini for a new Siri

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 04:33 EST — Premarket Shares of Alphabet (GOOGL.O) climbed roughly 0.7% in premarket trading Tuesday, hitting $334.02.

The deal extends Google’s Gemini further into Apple’s vast ecosystem of over two billion active devices, scoring Alphabet a rare distribution victory beyond its own platforms just as investors weigh the frontrunners in the AI race. “It shifts OpenAI into a supporting role,” noted Parth Talsania, CEO of Equisights Research.

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 18:21 EST — After-hours Home Depot shares were little changed in after-hours trade on Monday at $374.94, after the retailer and Google Cloud laid out a new push into “agentic AI” tools at the NRF 2026 retail conference.

NEW YORK, Jan 12, 2026, 16:21 ET — After-hours Apple Inc shares climbed 0.3% to $260.24 in after-hours trading Monday, as investors digested news of a new AI deal connected to Siri.

Walmart stock jumps on Google Gemini checkout, Wing drones and Nasdaq-100 countdown

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 11:16 EST — Regular session Walmart shares jumped 3.3% to $118.36 by late morning Monday, beating a mostly flat market. Investors reacted to new news highlighting AI-powered shopping and quicker delivery options. Walmart’s selling point is speed and stickiness. The retailer wants shoppers to stay within its checkout system, even if they find products elsewhere, and aims to deliver quickly enough that convenience feels routine rather than a one-off treat. The timing is critical since Walmart will join the Nasdaq-100 on Jan. 20, taking AstraZeneca’s spot, the exchange operator announced Friday. The Nasdaq-100 tracks the

New York, January 12, 2026, 11:10 EST Alphabet reached a $4 trillion market value on Monday, marking a major shift in how investors view the Google parent amid the AI boom. (Reuters) The AI race has morphed into a spending war—chips, data centers, talent—and investors are backing the handful of companies they believe can bankroll this push while keeping margins intact. Alphabet’s leap also shakes up the upper ranks of global equities, having surpassed Apple in market cap last week.

New York, January 12, 2026, 11:02 EST Alphabet surged past a $4 trillion market cap on Monday, highlighting the rapid shift in investor sentiment toward Google’s AI ambitions. https://www.reuters.com/business/alphabet-hits-4-trillion-valuation-ai-refocus-lifts-sentiment-2026-01-12/ This shift matters now as Big Tech’s AI spending spree bumps up against a crucial question: who can convert their hardware and models into steady cash flow, and who’s merely leasing pricey compute power from others. Alphabet shares dipped 0.3% to $327.47 in late morning trading. The stock has climbed roughly 65% over the last year and gained about 6% year-to-date in 2026.
