Abercrombie & Fitch stock dives after holiday update trims sales outlook — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 12, 2026, 09:49 EST — Regular session Abercrombie & Fitch Co shares plunged Monday after the apparel retailer trimmed its Q4 outlook and cut the upper range of its full-year sales growth forecast post-holiday season. Early trading saw the stock drop roughly 20% to $99.62. This shift is critical since the holiday quarter is prime time for many mall-based brands, and guidance changes tend to ripple quickly through the sector. Abercrombie has maintained solid margins, so expectations were already set high. Tariffs are back on the radar as shoppers stay price-conscious. Investors aren’t just focused on holiday

Tesla stock pops at the open as robotaxi “prove-it year” talk meets earnings countdown

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:34 EST — Regular session Tesla (TSLA.O) shares rose 2.1% to $445.01 in early New York trading on Monday. The early move keeps the spotlight on a stock that trades as much on expectations for new businesses as on car sales. Investors are trying to map Tesla’s next catalysts onto a market that is quick to punish misses. That backdrop is noisy this week. Traders are looking to U.S. inflation data due Tuesday and the start of quarterly earnings season for big banks, both of which can jolt rate-sensitive growth names.

Micron stock jumps as Taiwan report flags 30% rise in memory testing, packaging prices

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:35 EST — Regular session Micron Technology (MU) shares rose 5.5% to $345.09 in early New York trading on Monday after a Taiwanese media report said memory-chip testing and packaging firms have started lifting prices by up to 30%. (UDN) The timing matters. Packaging and testing sit at the back end of the supply chain, and tight capacity there can slow shipments even if chipmakers push wafer output higher. For Micron, any sign of a bottleneck tends to pull attention back to pricing power. The work is known as OSAT — outsourced semiconductor assembly and

Apple held a 20% share, ahead of Samsung’s 19% and Xiaomi’s 13%, with Counterpoint analyst Varun Mishra pointing to “solid demand in emerging and mid-sized markets” and strong iPhone 17 sales. Counterpoint research director Tarun Pathak said the smartphone market could soften in 2026 as chip shortages and higher component costs bite, with chipmakers prioritising AI data centres

Intel stock slips after a target raise: why Wall Street still isn’t buying the rally

Intel stock slips after a target raise: why Wall Street still isn’t buying the rally

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:45 ET — Regular session Intel Corp shares slipped 1.8% to $44.73 Monday morning, pressured by cautious analyst commentary following last week’s surge in the chipmaker’s stock. The wider market showed weakness as well, with the SPDR S&P 500 ETF falling roughly 0.4% and the iShares Semiconductor ETF retreating about 0.7%. The dip is significant because Intel’s rally owes more to a long-term wager than to immediate earnings. Investors are banking on its manufacturing revival and U.S. political support to reshape outlooks for 2026 and later. Monday’s trading highlighted how swiftly that optimism can clash

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:36 EST — Regular session Shares of Broadcom Inc surged 3.7% to $344.97 during early trading in New York on Monday, pushing further gains for the chipmaker. The shift happens as investors brace for Tuesday’s U.S. consumer price index report for December, set for 8:30 a.m. ET.

Citigroup stock slides as Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap plan rattles lenders ahead of earnings

New York, January 12, 2026, 11:40 EST — Regular session Citigroup Inc shares were down about 3.5% at $117.03 in late morning trading, after President Donald Trump called for a one-year cap on credit card interest rates at 10% starting Jan. 20 and gave no details on how companies would be made to comply. (Reuters) The headline risk for Citi is simple: credit cards are a big consumer profit engine across the industry, and a hard ceiling would hit pricing on loans that carry no collateral. It also lands with bank earnings days away, when executives normally talk about credit

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 11:32 a.m. EST — Regular session JPMorgan Chase & Co shares fell about 2% to $322.55 in morning trading on Monday after President Donald Trump called for a one-year cap that would limit credit card interest rates to 10%. “It would take an Act of Congress for such rate caps to be in place,” UBS Global analysts wrote, while Seaport Research analyst Bill Ryan said “affordability has become a top concern.” (Reuters) The move matters because credit cards are a high-yield business for big banks, and a rate cap would cut straight into what lenders

The drop followed President Donald Trump’s call on Friday for a one-year 10% cap on credit-card interest rates starting Jan. 20, a proposal analysts at TD Cowen and Barclays said would require Congress and faces long odds. (Reuters) Credit cards are revolving credit — balances can roll month to month — and interest charges are a big part of the economics for issuers. A 10% ceiling could trim
