Microsoft stock slides as tariff jitters return; what to watch before Jan. 28 earnings

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 09:42 EST — Regular session Shares of Microsoft (MSFT.O) dipped roughly 1.4% to $448.16 in early Wednesday trading, down from Tuesday’s close at $454.52. The stock fluctuated between $448.05 and $452.69 in the initial session. (google.com) The slide follows Wall Street’s steepest drop in three months, with the three main U.S. indexes tumbling nearly 2% as investors sought safer bets. Tensions have risen since President Donald Trump threatened new tariffs on European allies amid his Greenland purchase push. Trump is set to deliver a keynote at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday. “The

ImmunityBio (IBRX) stock slips premarket after FDA maps fresh ANKTIVA resubmission route in bladder cancer

New York, January 21, 2026, 08:47 EST — Premarket ImmunityBio’s stock dropped 5.9% to $6.10 in premarket trading Wednesday. The move followed the company’s announcement of a meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to discuss a possible resubmission of its bladder-cancer treatment, ANKTIVA. (MarketScreener) This move is significant because the FDA rejected ImmunityBio’s application last year to expand ANKTIVA for BCG-unresponsive papillary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. The company is now making another attempt, claiming a clearer regulatory pathway. That strategy stands in contrast to Johnson & Johnson’s, which has focused on gathering randomized data before filing in the

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 08:51 EST — Premarket Nvidia shares edged up in early trading Wednesday, recovering some losses from a sharp drop the previous day. Investors remain focused on a recurring worry: will the company encounter fresh political barriers when selling its premium AI chips in China? (MarketWatch) This matters because Nvidia’s data-center business now drives AI investment trends, with its shares often swinging sharply whenever regulators move. Even a minor shipment hiccup can ripple through server makers and cloud providers. Policy uncertainty is driving investors to quickly dump semiconductor stocks on risk-off days, even though the immediate

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 08:47 EST — Premarket Shares of IAMGOLD Corp surged in premarket trading Wednesday, pushing the rally in gold miners further. The U.S.-listed stock climbed roughly 15.6% to $19.83, up from a previous close around $17.16.

Gold recently touched a new high around $4,865 an ounce, according to Investopedia. (Investopedia) The reason this matters now is straightforward: investors want ounces delivered at predictable costs and have little tolerance for mines missing their targets. IAMGOLD’s Côté

The stock last checked in at $462.46, up from Tuesday’s close of $453.12.

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 08:10 (EST) — Premarket Shares of Energy Fuels Inc jumped roughly 7% to $23.52 in premarket trading Wednesday, following the announcement of a $300 million deal with Australia’s Strategic Materials aimed at boosting its rare-earth efforts.

KLA stock tumbles into earnings week as Deutsche Bank lifts KLAC target

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 08:21 EST — Premarket KLA Corporation shares drew attention ahead of Wednesday’s open, following a 5.3% drop to $1,486.18 in the prior session. Deutsche Bank, however, bumped up its price target to $1,560 while maintaining a Hold rating. (TipRanks) The fall came amid Wall Street’s sharp selloff Tuesday, triggered by President Donald Trump’s threat of new tariffs on several European nations, sparking fresh concerns about trade-related volatility. “I’m not at the point yet” where this “is going to precipitate a correction,” said Jamie Cox, managing partner at Harris Financial Group.

3M stock steadies in premarket after 7% earnings slide as 2026 outlook sinks in

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 08:07 (EST) — Premarket 3M shares held steady in premarket trading Wednesday, following a sharp decline the day before. Investors are weighing the industrial giant’s 2026 outlook alongside mixed signals on end-market demand. The move matters because 3M’s reset under CEO William Brown has focused intensely on margins and cash conversion, even as volumes fluctuate. This week’s guidance will be the first major test of that strategy heading into 2026. The timing is tricky for U.S. industrials: stocks have been slipping, and traders are quick to slam forecasts that don’t offer much upside. 3M was

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 08:06 ET — Premarket Delta Air Lines shares, which fell 4.2% to close at $67.46 on Tuesday, looked poised for a volatile start to Wednesday’s session, adding to the pressure on travel and leisure stocks. This shift is crucial now, with airlines caught between consumer spending trends and fluctuating fuel prices. Investors are wrestling with whether luxury travel demand will stay resilient amid turbulent macroeconomic news. Tuesday’s sell-off hit broad sectors.

Constellation Brands (STZ) stock cools in premarket after Tuesday pop — what matters now

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 08:04 EST — Premarket Constellation Brands shares slipped roughly 0.5% to $162.87 in premarket action Wednesday, following a 4.47% gain that pushed the stock to $163.64 at Tuesday’s close. (Investing.com) The move may seem small, but it keeps the stock under the spotlight following a rare strong session. Traders remain uncertain about what “normal” beer demand will look like after a volatile period in late 2025 and early 2026. Constellation’s beer segment stands out in a sluggish U.S. alcohol market and ranks among the major consumer players linked to Hispanic spending trends. That group, however,
