Analog Devices stock: Oppenheimer lifts target, but ADI slips into MLK market break

Analog Devices stock: Oppenheimer lifts target, but ADI slips into MLK market break

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 18:24 EST — Market closed. Shares of Analog Devices Inc dipped on Friday, despite Oppenheimer lifting its price target for the chipmaker. The stock headed into the extended U.S. holiday weekend under pressure. Why it matters now: with the market shut on Monday, chip investors face a shortened week as they weigh if demand is gaining traction beyond tech’s hottest sectors. For ADI, the next move hinges less on a single rating update and more on whether orders from industrial and automotive clients continue to recover. (NASDAQ Trader) ADI ended the session at $300.25, slipping

ASML stock price: Morgan Stanley’s €1,400 target sets up a tense run into earnings

Amsterdam, Jan 19, 2026, 00:11 CET — The market has closed. ASML Holding NV starts the week with an upgraded price target, as Morgan Stanley raised its estimate to €1,400 and maintained its stance on the Dutch chip-equipment firm as a top pick. This call is crucial since ASML occupies a key bottleneck in the chip supply chain. When major chipmakers start opening their wallets, ASML’s bookings and order chatter usually lead the way. Traders are now scrambling to gauge the shape of the upcoming spending cycle. Morgan Stanley’s Lee Simpson bumped his price target to €1,400 from €1,000 and

TSMC stock price: report flags four new Taiwan assembly plants as traders brace for Monday open

Taipei, January 19, 2026, 07:13 (GMT+8) — Premarket. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co’s shares were in focus before trade in Taipei on Monday after Taiwan’s state-run Central News Agency reported the chipmaker stayed tight-lipped on a media report that it plans four new advanced integrated circuit (IC) assembly plants in Taiwan. (Focus Taiwan – CNA English News) The timing matters. Assembly and packaging — the back-end work that connects finished chips into usable modules — has become a choke point for high-end AI processors, not just the chipmaking itself. More capacity there can move delivery times and pricing power, especially for

Micron (MU) stock faces Tuesday test after $1.8B Taiwan fab buy and $100B New York megafab push

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 18:05 (EST) — The market closed for the day. Micron Technology, Inc. made waves ahead of Tuesday’s U.S. market open with news of a $1.8 billion cash deal to acquire a Taiwan chipmaking plant. On Friday, its shares surged 7.8% before markets closed for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday on Monday.

Unexpected moves have little room to breathe now. Fresh data on memory supply

Shanghai, Jan 19, 2026, 07:05 GMT+8 — Premarket Foxconn Industrial Internet Co., Ltd.’s Class A shares in Shanghai (601138.SS) ended Friday at 63.00 yuan, climbing 3.64%. The stock fluctuated between 61.20 and 64.00 during the session, with 262.6 million shares changing hands. (Investing.com) The close now falls beneath a new policy headline. Mainland exchanges are cracking down on borrowing to buy stocks, just as traders weigh the next move in a packed rally. Timing is key. Margin financing, at its core, means investors borrow money to purchase shares, but this can push a market into a one-way bet. When regulations

NVIDIA stock: China blocks H200 chip shipments — what to watch before Wall Street reopens

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 17:59 EST — Market closed.

Broadcom stock heads into a long weekend: what Wall Street will watch next

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 18:00 EST — Market closed Broadcom shares jumped on Friday, bouncing back as the long U.S. holiday weekend began. After a series of sell-side notes claimed the recent dip was exaggerated, the stock finished at $351.71, gaining 2.6% for the day. This is significant as U.S. markets remain closed Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, extending the break in price discovery. When trading resumes Tuesday, investors will put this bounce to the test, seeing if it holds up or simply reflects moves made in a thin market. (New York Stock Exchange) Broadcom has acted

GE Vernova stock jumps on PJM power-auction push — what investors watch next week

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 17:37 EST — Market closed. Shares of GE Vernova Inc. (GEV) jumped 6.1% on Friday, ending the day at $681.55 following a turbulent week for U.S. power and grid stocks. A late-week rally came after the White House urged PJM Interconnection — the country’s largest power grid — to hold an emergency auction to prevent blackouts and ease soaring power bills as demand from data centers climbs. The move targets a cap on what existing plants can charge in PJM’s “capacity” market, which pays generators to stay ready during demand surges. That market recently saw

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 17:27 ET — Market closed Elon Musk ramped up his legal battle against OpenAI on Friday, aiming to claim up to $134 billion from the ChatGPT creator and its major backer, Microsoft.

Why Intuitive Surgical stock price is in focus: ISRG heads into earnings week after Friday dip

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 17:31 EST — Market closed. Intuitive Surgical Inc (ISRG.O) last closed down 1.2% at $535 on Friday, Jan. 16. U.S. equity markets are closed on Monday, Jan. 19, for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday, with trading set to resume Tuesday. (NASDAQ Trader) That gives investors a little more time to chew on Intuitive’s fresh outlook for da Vinci procedure growth in 2026 ahead of the company’s next results. The stock has been moving on small shifts in that outlook, and this one landed awkwardly. Procedure growth is the rise in the number of
