Applied Materials stock jumps nearly 7% on fresh Wall Street targets as AI spending debate heats up

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 15:21 EST — Market closed Applied Materials, Inc. shares ended Friday up 6.9% at $301.18. The chip-equipment maker saw volatile trading, swinging between $280 and $302.70 before heading into Monday’s open. This matters since Applied offers one of the clearest signals on semiconductor capital spending — the budgets chipmakers allocate for new equipment — and investors are once again re-evaluating those 2026 budgets, trying to untangle AI-driven demand from the broader cycle. Friday’s rally extended across chip stocks following a weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report that left rate-cut hopes mostly unchanged. The Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index

Shanghai, Jan 12, 2026, 04:28 CST — Premarket China Mobile Limited’s Shanghai-listed Class A shares (600941.SS) open Monday with investors weighing weekend remarks from Chinese AI experts highlighting an edge in “electricity and infrastructure,” a theme gaining traction in telecom circles.

Stifel’s Daniel Arias bumped his price target on Thermo Fisher from $583 to $700, maintaining a buy rating. He expects the company to deliver a “solid year,” forecasting organic growth—excluding currency

Siemens stock heads into Monday near highs — here’s what could move SIEGn next

Frankfurt, Jan 11, 2026, 21:07 CET — Market closed Shares of Siemens Aktiengesellschaft (SIEGn.DE) closed Friday at 254.20 euros, gaining 0.95%.
