Costco stock barely moves after-hours as insider sale hits the tape ahead of key dates

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 18:54 EST — After-hours Shares of Costco Wholesale Corp (COST.O) dipped modestly on Tuesday, holding steady in after-hours trading as investors digested news of a recent insider sale amid the busy earnings season. This filing matters because Costco is seen as a reliable consumer play, and even minor signals—like insider trades, foot traffic data, or membership growth—can sway the stock amid broader market turbulence. Rate-sensitive shares are also jittery, reacting strongly to inflation figures and changing Fed policy bets. Costco faces a packed schedule in the coming weeks. The company’s shareholder meeting is slated for

Capital One stock slips after hours as Trump’s credit-card cap threat hangs over COF

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 18:54 EST — Trading after hours. Capital One Financial shares dipped 0.7% to $231.41 in after-hours trading Tuesday, as investors weighed Washington’s ongoing efforts to cap credit-card rates and the potential hit to lenders’ earnings. The stock’s retreat is significant given Capital One’s heavy reliance on credit cards, turning what was once a campaign soundbite into a topic executives now tackle during earnings calls. The next trigger is just around the corner: Capital One’s quarterly results come out next week. President Donald Trump proposed a 10% cap on credit-card interest rates for one year beginning

Coinbase stock jumps after-hours as Senate crypto bill targets stablecoin rewards

NEW YORK, Jan 13, 2026, 18:31 EST — After-hours Shares of Coinbase Global climbed roughly 4% in after-hours trading Tuesday, following a surge in bitcoin.

This matters for Coinbase, which plays a central role in U.S. crypto trading and custody. Its earnings fluctuate with token prices and shifts in regulatory tone. After years of debate, Washington is finally edging closer to a clearer framework on whether many tokens qualify as securities. The draft, unveiled late Monday, aims to clarify when crypto tokens

Eli Lilly stock in focus after hours as FDA moves on Zepbound label and pill race tightens

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 18:23 EST — After-hours Eli Lilly and Company shares were down 0.4% at $1,077.19 in after-hours trading on Tuesday. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration asked drugmakers to remove suicide-related warnings from labels of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs — medicines that mimic a gut hormone to curb appetite — including Lilly’s Zepbound. (Reuters) The label shift matters because investors still treat safety language as a proxy for how wide these drugs can spread, and how quickly. Obesity drugs have turned into a crowded, high-stakes market where small changes in risk perception can move demand, and pricing

Johnson & Johnson stock pops on court win — what traders watch before earnings

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 18:27 EST — After-hours Johnson & Johnson shares climbed about 1.9%, closing at $213.65 on Tuesday, and stayed near that level in after-hours trading after Delaware’s highest court pared down part of a $1 billion damages award related to its Auris Health acquisition. The Delaware Supreme Court ordered a recalculation that could shave a few hundred million dollars, including interest, off the total. This dispute traces back to J&J’s 2019 purchase of surgical-robot maker Auris and the earnout payments tied to performance milestones owed to former shareholders. “We are pleased that the court reversed the

The slide came after Oppenheimer downgraded Adobe, citing generative AI’s growing impact on the company’s reliable subscription model. Analyst Brian Schwartz cut Adobe to “Perform” from “Outperform” and removed the price target altogether. In his note, he said Gen AI “is increasing the velocity of content creation while lowering price and subscriber growth.” (Investopedia) Competition is heating up at the low end of creative tools—and it’s not just startups shaking things

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 18:18 EST — After-hours Bank of America stock slipped on Tuesday, with shares last down about 1.2% at $54.54 in after-hours trade. The move comes at an awkward moment for the lender: policy headlines are starting to hit the consumer-lending story just as investors pivot into bank earnings and try to pin down what lower rates do to margins. President Donald Trump’s proposed one-year 10% cap on credit-card interest rates, floated on Truth Social, has surprised parts of the industry and revived a debate over how profitable — and how politically exposed — credit cards
