AppLovin stock drops after Evercore’s new “Outperform” call — what to watch before Thursday

New York, January 14, 2026, 16:29 EST — After-hours Shares of AppLovin Corp plunged on Wednesday, slipping as low as $596.93 during the session before settling down 7.6% at $617.65 in after-hours trading. The stock had ended Tuesday at $668.63. The decline occurred despite Evercore ISI kicking off coverage with an Outperform rating. Analyst Robert Coolbrith labeled AppLovin the “dominant ad tech platform for mobile gaming,” and highlighted its emerging e-commerce segment as a fresh growth driver. (Investors.com) Why it matters now: AppLovin is riding high as a momentum play in ad-tech, but Wednesday’s sell-off revealed just how fast traders

Unity Software stock sinks nearly 8% as Wall Street eyes Feb. 11 earnings

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 15:50 (EST) — Regular session Shares of Unity Software Inc fell 7.8% to $42.12 in late-afternoon trading Wednesday, deepening a selloff among high-growth software names. The videogame development tools firm touched a low of $40.76 during the session, down from $45.67 at Tuesday’s close. This shift is crucial as Unity faces two immediate challenges that could rapidly alter forecasts: an earnings report on the horizon and recent subscription price adjustments. With markets jittery over interest rates, investors have little tolerance for stocks relying on consistent execution to support their valuations. Unity announced Wednesday that it

Microsoft stock slides as data-center power costs, Trump pressure rattle AI trade

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 16:04 EST — After-hours Microsoft (MSFT.O) shares dropped 2.6% on Wednesday, deepening a retreat in mega-cap tech amid investor concerns over the escalating expenses — and political hurdles — tied to building new AI data centers. The stock lost $12.17 to close at $458.50 in late U.S. trading. Meanwhile, the Invesco QQQ fell 1.3%, and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF slipped 0.7%. Just a day earlier, Microsoft announced it would pay utility rates high enough to cover its own power costs at U.S. data centers and collaborate with local utilities to boost supply as needed.
Tesla stock slides as Musk shifts Full Self-Driving to subscription-only

Tesla stock slides as Musk shifts Full Self-Driving to subscription-only

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 4:01 PM EST — After-hours Tesla shares slipped Wednesday following CEO Elon Musk’s announcement that the company will stop selling its Full Self-Driving software as a one-time purchase. Starting Feb. 14, the feature will be available only via monthly subscription. Last year, U.S. safety regulators launched an investigation into 2.88 million Tesla vehicles after reports linked the system to traffic violations and crashes. (Reuters) The pricing shift is significant since FSD remains one of the limited tools Tesla can adjust without ramping up factory production. Investors want evidence that software and services can step up
Broadcom stock sinks after report China tells firms to drop VMware security software

Broadcom stock sinks after report China tells firms to drop VMware security software

New York, January 14, 2026, 16:09 EST — After-hours Shares of Broadcom Inc dropped Wednesday following a Reuters report that Chinese regulators have ordered local companies to halt use of cybersecurity software from over a dozen U.S. and Israeli firms, including VMware, which Broadcom owns, over national security worries. (Reuters) The headline hurts, given VMware’s key role in Broadcom’s argument that it can combine chip growth with reliable infrastructure-software revenue. It lands at a moment when the market has begun to view China policy risk as a tradable factor again, not just a side note. Broadcom slid 4.2% to $339.55

Nvidia stock dips on China H200 roadblock as U.S. export rules shift — what NVDA traders watch next

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 16:01 ET — After-hours Nvidia stock (NVDA.O) slipped 1.6% to $182.79 late Wednesday after Reuters reported that Chinese customs told agents the company’s H200 AI chips can’t enter the country. Officials also cautioned local tech firms against buying them unless absolutely necessary. It’s not clear if this amounts to an official ban. Rhodium Group strategist Reva Goujon suggested Beijing might be “pushing to see what bigger concessions they can get” ahead of President Donald Trump’s April visit to meet Xi Jinping. (Reuters) Washington has moved to reopen a limited channel for H200 exports to China,

Via Transportation stock tumbles 10% in late trade as Goldman upgrade meets a weak tape

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 15:53 EST — Regular session. Via Transportation shares slid 10.2% to $24.14 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, giving back earlier gains and lagging a weaker tech-heavy market. The stock swung between $23.70 and $27.49 on the day. The move lands as investors look for a clear catalyst in a stock that has whipped around since its September listing. Via said on Tuesday it will release fourth-quarter 2025 results before U.S. markets open on Feb. 27 and host a conference call at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time.

Amazon stock drops today: tariff-driven supplier talks and Italy fine appeal keep AMZN in focus

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 16:05 EST — After-hours Amazon.com (AMZN.O) shares slipped 2.4% to $236.71 in late afternoon trading on Wednesday, touching a session low of $236.24 earlier. The drop comes as cost concerns resurface. Tariffs — import taxes — often influence retail prices quickly, and Amazon finds itself caught in the middle of that battle. The Nasdaq slid 1.35% amid a downturn for major tech stocks, as investors shifted into defensive sectors. “You’re seeing profit-taking and consolidation,” noted Michael O’Rourke, chief market strategist at JonesTrading. (Reuters) Amazon said Tuesday it has talked with some vendors about adjusting costs

New York, January 14, 2026, 15:51 EST — Regular session AppLovin shares dropped 7.3% to $619.79 in afternoon trading Wednesday, despite Evercore ISI kicking off coverage with an Outperform rating and a $835 price target. The day before, Morgan Stanley lifted its price target to $800 and maintained an Overweight rating, according to GuruFocus. (GuruFocus) The move came as U.S. stocks slipped, dragged down by tech and financial sectors, with the Nasdaq retreating 1.35%. “After a nice run, and so-so or mediocre earnings, you’re seeing profit-taking and consolidation,” Michael O’Rourke, chief market strategist at JonesTrading, said.

Apple stock drifts lower after tech slide, with Gemini-Siri deal and earnings in focus

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 16:05 EST — After-hours Apple shares dipped Wednesday amid another wave of selling in megacap tech stocks, pushing investors to reconsider the stock’s high valuation ahead of a crucial earnings report and significant AI-related expectations. Apple slipped $1.18, around 0.5%, to $259.87. Shares fluctuated from $256.91 up to $261.72, putting its market cap near $3.0 trillion. Why it matters now: Traders are stepping back from the top tech stocks after a solid rally, shifting focus as economic reports and initial big-bank earnings steer money into defensive plays. Apple often follows this broader trend, even if

Pearson plc stock tumbles on New Jersey contract loss — what investors watch next

London, Jan 14, 2026, 20:39 GMT — Market closed. Pearson shares closed down 9.55% at £9.73 on Wednesday, after the education company said it lost a U.S. student assessment contract in New Jersey that will weigh on the first half of 2026. The fall made it the FTSE 100’s biggest decliner even as the index finished at a record high. (MarketWatch) The setback matters because Pearson’s Assessment & Qualifications division is its biggest business, and U.S. testing work can hinge on periodic state tenders. Chief Financial Officer Sally Johnson said the lost New Jersey contract was worth 20 million to
