New York, Jan 21, 2026, 11:43 (EST) — Regular session Lumentum Holdings Inc shares rose about 5% to $374.52 in late-morning trading Wednesday, extending a solid rally.

MARA stock jumps 6% as bitcoin miners rebound and CEO share-sale notice hits the tape

New York, January 21, 2026, 11:10 ET — Regular session MARA Holdings Inc shares jumped 6% to $10.99 on Wednesday, spearheading a wider rally among U.S.-listed bitcoin miners despite bitcoin dropping roughly 0.7% to $89,809.

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 11:39 ET — Regular session Shares of Intuit Inc dipped roughly 0.6% on Wednesday, slipping to $525.93 despite Morgan Stanley’s bullish long-term outlook, which sees the stock potentially doubling in value.

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 11:55 ET — Regular session Procter & Gamble shares fell 0.7% on Wednesday as investors positioned ahead of the consumer-products maker’s quarterly results due Thursday. The stock was down $1.06 at $145.94 in late-morning trade, after swinging between $145.43 and $147.38.

New York, January 21, 2026, 10:47 EST Wall Street clawed back some ground Wednesday following its steepest single-day drop in three months, as investors parsed President Donald Trump’s comments on Greenland and trade at Davos.
