Google stock price: Alphabet Class C (GOOG) slips after-hours on data-sharing court fight — here’s what’s next

New York, January 16, 2026, 16:37 ET — After-hours Alphabet’s non-voting Class C shares dropped 0.8% to $330.34 in after-hours trading Friday. The decline came after Google asked a U.S. judge to delay an order forcing it to share data with rivals—including generative AI firms like ChatGPT creator OpenAI—while it appeals a ruling that brands it an illegal monopoly in online search. Google warned that complying now could reveal trade secrets it might not recover, even if it wins on appeal. (Reuters) The filing comes at a tricky time for investors, with courts focusing on remedies—the solutions mandated after the

Intel stock price dips after-hours despite chip rally as Citi, RBC and Barclays reset the bull case

New York, January 16, 2026, 16:26 EST — After-hours Intel Corp shares ended Friday at $47.43, after fluctuating between $50.21 and $46.71 throughout the day, and later dipped to $46.96 in after-hours trading. (Yahoo Finance) The retreat comes just a week ahead of Intel’s upcoming earnings report, with the company set to hold its fourth-quarter 2025 earnings call on Jan. 22 at 2 p.m. Pacific time. (intc.com) The broader chip sector swung higher on Friday. Semiconductor shares drove Wall Street’s gains, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF climbing 2.1%.

Sandisk stock steadies after hours as analysts lift targets; all eyes on Jan. 29 earnings

Sandisk stock steadies after hours as analysts lift targets; all eyes on Jan. 29 earnings

New York, Jan 16, 2026, 16:23 (EST) — After-hours Sandisk Corp shares edged up roughly 1% to $413.58 in after-hours trading Friday, having fluctuated between $400.22 and $437.30 earlier in the session. Trading volume hit around 15.4 million shares. The flash-memory maker has turned into a momentum favorite in early 2026 as investors wager that tighter NAND flash supply — the storage memory used in solid-state drives — will keep prices elevated this year. Retail traders have jumped in too, catapulting the stock about 65% higher so far in 2026 and roughly 730% over the last 12 months, following an

Meta stock nudges lower after hours as Wikipedia AI deal and FTC scrutiny sharpen focus ahead of earnings

New York, Jan 16, 2026, 16:28 EST — After-hours Meta Platforms’ stock edged down 0.1% in after-hours trading Friday, settling at $620.32. Earlier in the session, shares fluctuated between $620.20 and $628.90. The upcoming catalyst for the stock isn’t tied to one product announcement but centers on costs — the expenses involved in training AI models, staffing, and maintaining infrastructure — as investors approach the company’s quarterly earnings report. The debate expanded this week as analysts highlighted the massive funding Big Tech might require for data centers. A Reuters report late Thursday revealed Barclays forecasts U.S. corporate bond issuance hitting

Broadcom stock price pops into the long weekend as chipmakers rally — what AVGO investors watch next

Broadcom stock price pops into the long weekend as chipmakers rally — what AVGO investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 16, 2026, 16:15 EST — After-hours Broadcom Inc. shares ended Friday up 2.6%, closing at $351.77 after the chip sector found some footing ahead of the long weekend. The stock hit a high of $354.30 and dipped to a low of $344.27 during the session. This matters because Broadcom stands at the crossroads of two forces investors keep circling back to: data-center spending driving AI growth, and sudden policy risks that can disrupt both its software and hardware businesses. Traders are also wrestling with separating short-term headlines from real shifts in orders. Broadcom’s mix—selling data-center networking chips

AMD stock rises after Riot Platforms reveals $311 million data-center lease as traders look to Feb. 3 earnings

New York, January 16, 2026, 16:16 EST — After-hours Advanced Micro Devices ended regular trading up 1.7% on Friday at $231.84. Traders also digested word from Riot Platforms that it has signed a 10-year data-center lease and services agreement with AMD expected to generate $311 million in contract revenue, with extensions that could take the total to about $1 billion. (Yahoo Finance) The tie-up lands at a time when investors are treating data-center capacity as a scarce resource, not a boring utility. It puts another spotlight on how chipmakers support AI workloads beyond selling processors. Semiconductor names have had a

Nvidia stock price edges up after Jefferies target hike as China chip rules stay in play

Nvidia stock price edges up after Jefferies target hike as China chip rules stay in play

New York, Jan 16, 2026, 16:02 EST — After-hours Nvidia shares finished slightly higher on Friday after Jefferies lifted its price target on the AI chip leader, with Wall Street still trying to map out what U.S.-China rules could mean for high-end chip sales in 2026. The muted move still matters. Nvidia is one of the market’s biggest bellwethers for artificial intelligence spending, and small shifts in expectations can ripple through chip peers and the broader tech complex. The stock had jumped more than 2% a day earlier as semiconductor names rose after a U.S.-Taiwan trade deal put chips back

Micron stock jumps nearly 8% on New York megafab move and insider buying

NEW YORK, January 16, 2026, 16:15 EST — After-hours Shares of Micron Technology (MU.O) climbed 7.8%, ending Friday at $362.75, after reaching an intraday high of $365.59. Micron’s surge is key, placing it at the heart of the market’s current chip crunch—not processors, but memory. Traders are betting supply will remain tight despite shifting demand. Much of the discussion centers on High Bandwidth Memory, or HBM — a stacked DRAM placed near AI processors to speed up data transfer. This is one of the rare spots where buyers really can’t haggle much over price. On Friday, Micron officially broke ground

Tesla stock near $440 after NHTSA extends Full Self-Driving probe deadline

NEW YORK, Jan 16, 2026, 16:02 EST — After-hours Tesla shares edged up about 0.2% to $439.45 in Friday’s session, after U.S. auto safety regulators granted the company a five-week extension—pushing the deadline to Feb. 23—to respond to an investigation into whether its Full Self-Driving software led cars to break traffic laws. The stock fluctuated between $435.36 and $447.09. (Reuters) The extension puts Tesla’s driver-assistance goals back under regulatory scrutiny at a tricky time for the stock. A large chunk of Tesla’s long-term value hinges on software and autonomous driving, so probes linked to that story can quickly shift investor

Palantir stock tumbles to $171 as PLTR heads into long weekend with volatility in focus

New York, January 16, 2026, 4:05 PM ET — After-hours Shares of Palantir Technologies Inc slipped 3.4% to $171.04 on Friday, moving within a broad range from $182.12 down to $170.03 during the session for the data-analytics firm. The decline occurred as U.S. stocks eked out modest gains ahead of the long weekend, with investors cautious about taking on more risk as earnings season heats up. “The most important thing is the growth companies and the big technology companies,” said Bruce Zaro, managing director at Granite Wealth Management.

Apple stock price falls as India antitrust warning raises stakes for AAPL ahead of earnings

New York, Jan 16, 2026, 16:03 EST — After-hours Apple Inc shares slipped on Friday, ending regular trading down 1.1% at $255.43, and were little changed after the close. (StockAnalysis) The decline matters because Apple is one of the market’s biggest index weights, and investors are trying to decide what “good enough” looks like for mega-cap results later this month. Any fresh hit to services, where Apple posts some of its highest margins, can move the stock fast. This week’s tape has been jittery in pockets.

Microsoft stock rises after OpenAI’s ChatGPT ad test plan, as Europe probes loom

New York, January 16, 2026, 16:04 EST — After-hours Microsoft shares ended higher on Friday after Microsoft-backed OpenAI said it would start testing ads in ChatGPT, a shift that could open a new revenue line for one of the company’s most watched partners. (Reuters) The move lands as investors reassess how quickly AI products can pay for the data-center buildout behind them, with Microsoft’s own results due later this month.
