Microsoft stock price: MSFT faces Musk’s $134 billion claim ahead of Jan. 28 earnings

New York, Jan 17, 2026, 09:35 EST — Market closed. Microsoft (MSFT) shares are heading into next week with a new legal cloud looming.

The case is set for a jury trial in April. Friday’s session saw MSFT gain 0.7%, closing at $459.86, though it’s still down roughly 3.6% on the week. (Reuters)

Amazon stock: AMZN holds $239 after AWS rolls out Europe “sovereign cloud” — what to watch Tuesday

NEW YORK, Jan 17, 2026, 09:37 EST — Market closed. Amazon.com shares climbed 0.4% to close Friday at $239.12, edging up ahead of the long weekend when U.S. markets will be closed on Monday. The shift is small, yet the spotlight remains intense. Investors repeatedly ask: will Amazon’s costly investments in cloud and connectivity deliver consistent growth without sparking fresh margin worries? Two events in the last 48 hours have intensified that debate. One involves AWS, the company’s cash cow; the other concerns Amazon’s ongoing efforts in space. AWS has rolled out a new “European Sovereign Cloud,” hosting data centres

Google stock (GOOG) heads into a long weekend after fresh antitrust filing — what to watch next

New York, Jan 17, 2026, 09:35 EST — Market closed. On Friday, Google requested a U.S. judge to halt a data-sharing order tied to its search antitrust case, arguing against handing over data to rivals — including generative AI companies like OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT — during its appeal, court documents revealed. Alphabet’s Class C shares (GOOG) dropped $2.79, or roughly 0.8%, closing at $330.34. (Reuters) For the stock, this brings the remedy phase back into focus. The trial isn’t about what Google has done; it’s about what it has to change, and how quickly — with “remedies” referring

Nvidia stock tumbles into long weekend after China blocks H200 chip shipments

New York, January 17, 2026, 09:44 EST — Market closed. Nvidia shares slipped 0.44% to close at $186.23 on Friday following reports that Chinese customs blocked shipments of the company’s H200 AI processors. This move reportedly forced parts suppliers to halt production. (Reuters) The flare-up is significant since Washington recently opened a limited channel for H200 sales to China, intending to let approved commercial deals move forward under strict conditions. If Beijing looks to tighten controls at the border again, it throws uncertainty over a market crucial to near-term demand for data-center chips. (Reuters) China is drafting rules to control

The U.S.-listed space and defense contractor wrapped up yet another solid week of gains.

Apple stock slides into earnings: why AAPL traders brace for a bumpier week

New York, January 17, 2026, 09:36 EST — Market closed. Apple shares dipped on Friday as investors head into a holiday-shortened week, with the iPhone maker’s earnings report looming in under two weeks. Apple slipped 1.1% to finish at $255.53 on Friday, putting its market cap near $3.0 trillion. That’s significant since U.S. stocks have been trapped in a tight range close to record highs, and the focus is shifting from bank earnings to the megacap tech giants that drive indexes and risk sentiment. A major move in Apple could pull the entire market along. Wall Street closed almost unchanged

Saudi Aramco stock faces Sunday test after oil’s 4% drop — here’s what matters next

Riyadh, Jan 17, 2026, 17:38 AST — The market has closed. Key points: Shares of Saudi Arabian Oil Co. are slipping ahead of the next session on the Saudi Exchange, weighed down by a late-week retreat. Oil prices and fresh developments from the Middle East are once again driving market sentiment. Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s largest listed firm and a major force in the local index, usually tracks oil prices closely since they drive its earnings and dividends. This week, that connection showed up again. The Saudi Exchange operates Sunday through Thursday, so the next update on positioning won’t be available

Why Legence (LGN) stock jumped 7% — and what investors are watching next

Why Legence (LGN) stock jumped 7% — and what investors are watching next

New York, January 17, 2026, 09:05 EST — Market closed. Legence Corp shares climbed 7.1% on Friday, closing at $49.59. That move brought the Nasdaq-listed building-systems contractor to just about 1% shy of its 52-week peak. After-hours trading showed the stock edging up slightly. (StockAnalysis) The jump is significant because it pushes Legence above the $45 per share mark set in a Blackstone-linked secondary sale earlier this month—a key benchmark for traders. It also comes just before a holiday-shortened U.S. week, when lighter liquidity tends to amplify swings in newer, more volatile stocks. (GlobeNewswire) U.S. stocks closed almost unchanged on

IonQ stock (IONQ) rebounds nearly 7% into long weekend — what traders watch before Tuesday

New York, January 17, 2026, 09:17 (EST) — The market has closed. IonQ shares jumped 6.8% on Friday, ending the day at $50.80 after dropping 6.5% the previous session. The stock fluctuated between $47.52 and $51.89 during the day, then slipped 0.5% in after-hours trading to $50.55. (Investing.com) The whipsaw counts because the quantum-computing group has swung back into a rapid sentiment trade, as investors flip-flop between lofty promises and the slow slog of developing machines that function reliably beyond the lab. IonQ finds itself right at the heart of this. The company’s challenge remains converting technical advances into actual

Trading volume hit roughly 1.6 million shares, with prices swinging between $298.10 and $333.30 during the session.

The U.S. inked a civil nuclear power deal with Slovakia, aiming to cut ties to Russian-designed reactors. The agreement centers on a
