NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 18:09 EST — After-hours Shares of UnitedHealth Group Incorporated climbed $3.95, or 1.2%, to close at $338.96 on Thursday, beating the modest gains seen across the broader market. Attention turned back to the company’s government-backed insurance segment, where shifts in payment schedules, medical expenses, and policy changes can quickly alter market sentiment. UnitedHealthcare on Wednesday kicked off a six-month pilot to speed up Medicare Advantage payments for select independent rural hospitals in Oklahoma, Idaho, Minnesota, and Missouri. The goal: slash collection times to less than 15 days, down from under 30. The move comes as

New York, January 15, 2026, 18:10 EST — After-hours KLA Corp shares climbed 7.7% to $1,544.96 in after-hours trading Thursday, following a session that saw the stock fluctuate between $1,487.53 and $1,571.19.

Visa stock dips after UK fee-cap ruling as stablecoin push builds into earnings

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 17:59 EST — After-hours Visa Inc (V) shares dipped 0.4% in after-hours trading Thursday, following a UK court ruling against Visa, Mastercard, and British fintech Revolut.

Rocket Lab stock slips on KeyBanc downgrade as insider sale filing lands

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 17:56 EST — After-hours Shares of Rocket Lab Corporation slipped Thursday following a downgrade from KeyBanc, halting a recent rally that had drawn attention to the space company’s valuation. The stock closed down 1.13% at $90.76 and later dipped another 0.53% to $90.28 in after-hours trading. (Investing.com) The downgrade hits hard because Rocket Lab is now seen as a high-beta proxy for “space-and-defense” enthusiasm, with its shares acting like they depend on fresh catalysts. In that environment, one company’s pullback can spark rapid selling. This follows a steep climb that leaves minimal margin for missteps,

Salesforce stock drops after-hours as AI-agent scare hangs over new Davos, Google moves

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 17:44 EST — After-hours. Salesforce (CRM) shares fell 2.5% to $233.53 in after-hours trading on Thursday, keeping the cloud software maker in the crosshairs of a broader pullback in the sector. The selling has been tied this week to new worries that autonomous AI tools could start eating into some everyday workplace apps. For Salesforce, the debate cuts both ways. The company has been pushing “AI agents” — software designed to take steps on a user’s behalf, not just answer questions — as a new product line, and investors want to see who captures the

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 17:42 ET — After-hours AppLovin Corp shares dipped once more on Thursday, ending the day 1.8% lower at $606.99, following a steep 7.6% tumble on Wednesday.

AppLovin’s stock, which surged roughly 104% in 2025, has hit a rough patch in early 2026. The price action has been volatile recently. (Barron’s)

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 17:24 EST — After-hours Lam Research shares climbed 4.2% to $217.47 in after-hours trading Thursday, buoyed by strength in semiconductor equipment stocks and a flurry of broker upgrades that thrust the company back into the spotlight. The picture shifted quickly after Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co revealed higher spending plans for 2026, a key indicator for chipmaking equipment. CEO C.C.
