Walmart stock barely moves after the bell as Fed week takes over — what traders watch next

New York, Jan 26, 2026, 18:44 EST — After-hours Walmart shares slipped slightly in after-hours trading Monday, staying close to their closing price as investors zeroed in on an upcoming Federal Reserve decision that could shift rate expectations and risk sentiment. The stock has held firm amid a market flipping between growth and defensive plays. With the Fed meeting kicking off Tuesday, even steady names like Walmart could see volatility as bond yields and sentiment shift.

The move comes as investors seek evidence that AppLovin’s Axon ad-targeting tools can grow past mobile gaming, the company’s original stronghold. E-commerce ads represent a larger market, but budgets shift fast when the figures falter. Needham & Company bumped AppLovin to buy from hold on Monday, upping its price target to $700.

UnitedHealth (UNH) stock slides after-hours as CMS proposes near-flat 2027 Medicare Advantage payments

UnitedHealth (UNH) stock slides after-hours as CMS proposes near-flat 2027 Medicare Advantage payments

New York, Jan 26, 2026, 18:12 ET — After-hours Shares of UnitedHealth Group dropped over 10% in after-hours trading Monday, following a U.S. health official proposal that would barely increase 2027 payments for Medicare Advantage plans. The rate notice is crucial because Medicare Advantage — the privately run alternative to traditional Medicare — fuels growth for major insurers and provides consistent cash flow. Even a slight tweak in the annual payment calculations can ripple through pricing models well before it impacts income statements. It thrusts risk adjustment back into focus. This payment formula increases reimbursements when plans report sicker patients,

NEW YORK, Jan 26, 2026, 17:57 EST — After-hours.

The S&P 500 rose 0.5% and the Nasdaq added 0.4% on Monday, with markets turning to the Federal Reserve’s policy decision due on Wednesday, Jan. 28, and a wave of big-tech results later in the week.

Oracle stock jumps nearly 3% as TikTok U.S. tie-up comes back into focus

New York, January 26, 2026, 17:56 EST — Trading continues after hours. Oracle Corp shares climbed roughly 3% Monday, closing at $182.44. It marked a standout day for the software giant after several weeks of uneven trading. The stock fluctuated between $175.70 and $185.27, with volume hitting around 21 million shares. The bounce counts because Oracle remains a hot topic among big tech stocks: investors demand growth from its cloud strategy but remain wary of the AI infrastructure costs. One positive day won’t erase those concerns, yet it signals buyers are still ready to pounce when the headlines align. This

Intel stock slides again after weak outlook — what comes next for INTC?

New York, Jan 26, 2026, 17:42 EST — After-hours Intel shares dropped roughly 5.7% on Monday, closing near $42.49 in after-hours trading. Roughly 149 million shares traded hands. The slide is significant because Intel’s narrative has reversed quickly: demand appears robust, yet the company admits it can’t meet shipment targets. That’s a tough spot for a stock that was valued on a smooth rebound. The decline comes after a 17% plunge on Friday when Intel’s forecast fell short of expectations, despite U.S. indexes climbing ahead of a week loaded with mega-cap tech earnings and a Federal Reserve policy update.
