Salesforce stock slips after-hours as Spring ’26 AI agent push lands — what to watch next

New York, January 9, 2026, 19:31 EST — After-hours Salesforce (CRM) shares slipped about 0.2% in after-hours trading on Friday after the company laid out its Spring ’26 product release, a set of updates aimed at pushing “AI agents” deeper into sales and service work. Salesforce said the rollout starts Feb. 23 and adds tools such as an AI-led “Sales Workspace” and “Proactive Service.” (Salesforce) The timing matters because big software names are being asked a simple question early in 2026: can they turn all the AI talk into checks. Investors have been quick to punish anything that looks like

SoFi stock ends lower after-hours as dilution worries linger ahead of Jan. 30 results

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 19:24 EST — After-hours SoFi Technologies, Inc. shares closed down 1.1% at $27.40 on Friday and were last hovering near that level in late trading, after a week of choppy moves that left the stock out of step with the broader market’s record run. (StockAnalysis) The selling pressure has tracked a stock offering that increased the share count at a time when sentiment had been leaning heavily on growth. In an 8-K filing, the company said it sold 57,754,660 shares at $27.50 each after the banks running the deal exercised a 30-day option — often

Nike stock rises after RTFKT sale, but Needham downgrade warns turnaround could drag

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 19:35 (EST) — After-hours Nike shares rose 1% on Friday to close at $65.92, as investors looked past a fresh analyst downgrade and a round of headlines around the company’s cleanup effort. The stock was little changed in extended trade. Needham downgraded Nike to “hold” from “buy” on Thursday, saying the turnaround is moving more slowly than expected. The firm flagged “sell-in” — shipments into retailers — and said heavier product flows into North American wholesale could bring “near-term challenges” if “brand heat” does not keep up; it also warned that China and Converse look

KLA stock pops toward $1,400 as Cantor lifts target to $1,750; Jan. 29 earnings next

New York, January 9, 2026, 19:26 EST — After-hours KLA Corp shares jumped 5.7% on Friday to close at $1,400 and were down slightly in after-hours trading. (Yahoo Finance) Cantor Fitzgerald analyst C.J. Muse kept an Overweight rating and raised his price target on KLA to $1,750 from $1,500, according to a note carried by TipRanks and GuruFocus. Cantor said the group is still early in the investment cycle and framed the setup as an “All-In” stance, pointing to rising wafer fabrication equipment — the machines used to make chips — through 2026-28. (GuruFocus) KLA, which sells process-control tools that

UnitedHealth (UNH) stock slips as Congress summons CEO; investors eye earnings date

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 19:28 EST — After-hours UnitedHealth Group shares fell roughly 0.8% on Friday, lingering around $344 in after-hours trading as U.S. lawmakers intensified scrutiny of major insurers ahead of hearings scheduled for later this month. (stockanalysis.com) The hearings are significant as policy uncertainty is creeping back into managed care valuations. Investors have promptly pushed down the group whenever Washington discusses premiums, subsidies, or regulation. UnitedHealth faces tricky timing. It’s gearing up to update guidance for 2026 just as lawmakers prepare to press the company on costs and coverage issues. Leaders of the House Energy and Commerce
Visa stock slips after-hours as AI deepfake vote, CPI test loom for payments giant

Visa stock slips after-hours as AI deepfake vote, CPI test loom for payments giant

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 19:18 EST — After-hours Visa Inc shares slipped in after-hours trading on Friday, closing down 0.7% at $349.77. Mastercard fell 0.8% and American Express dropped 1.9% in the same session. The move came even as the S&P 500 logged a record close after a mixed U.S. jobs report kept rate-cut hopes alive. U.S. payrolls rose by 50,000 in December and the unemployment rate dipped to 4.4%, a print that helped support expectations for easing later this year — measured in “basis points,” or hundredths of a percentage point. (Reuters) Why it matters now: the market’s

Nebius stock (NBIS) whipsaws after U.S. jobs report — what investors watch next

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 19:32 EST — After-hours Nebius Group N.V. shares were last up about 0.6% at $97.93 in after-hours trading on Friday, after swinging as high as $104.94 and as low as $97.25 during the session. The late-day churn matters because Nebius sits in a corner of the market where sentiment can turn fast: high-growth, capital-hungry AI infrastructure. With the U.S. rate outlook still in flux, traders have been quick to press momentum and just as quick to take profits when the tape wobbles. Wall Street ended at record highs after data showed U.S. job growth came

RTX stock alert: Trump’s buyback clampdown hangs over defense names as $130 mini-tender deadline nears

New York, January 9, 2026, 19:15 ET — After-hours RTX Corp shares rose about 0.7% to $188.50 in after-hours trade on Friday as investors kept sorting through a Trump administration order that could curb dividends and share buybacks at major defense contractors. (Reuters) The order matters because cash returns are a big part of the defense-stock pitch. Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, L3Harris and RTX paid roughly $8 billion in dividends over the last 12 months and bought back about $10 billion of stock, Morgan Stanley data compiled by Reuters showed. Buybacks are when a company repurchases its own

Thermo Fisher (TMO) stock jumps as Stifel lifts target to $700; earnings next

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 19:08 EST — After-hours Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc (TMO.N) shares climbed roughly 2% on Friday following a price target boost from Stifel, which called for a “solid year” ahead as biopharma demand picked up. The stock ended the day up $12.45, closing at $618.86. (GuruFocus) The timing is crucial. Investors are gearing up for Thermo Fisher’s Q4 and full-year earnings, set for Jan. 29, when the company is likely to update its 2026 guidance. (Thermo Fisher Scientific) Coming up sooner, CEO Marc Casper will speak at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on Jan. 13. This

Opendoor stock jumps 13% as Trump orders $200B mortgage bond buys — what investors watch next

New York, January 9, 2026, 19:01 EST — After-hours Opendoor Technologies Inc (OPEN.O) shares rose 13.2% to $7.29 on Friday after hitting an intraday high of $7.91. The stock traded about 167 million shares. The move followed President Donald Trump’s order for $200 billion of mortgage bond purchases; Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte said Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would execute the buys. TD Cowen wrote the buying could narrow the gap between the 30-year mortgage rate and the 10-year Treasury yield, while Jefferies pegged the rate needed to bring buyers back in the mid- to high-5% range

Lockheed Martin stock jumps on Truist upgrade as Trump payout order keeps defense names volatile

New York, January 9, 2026, 18:50 (EST) — After-hours Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT) shares rose 4.7% to $542.92 on Friday, extending a rebound in U.S. defense stocks after Truist upgraded the company to “Buy.” (Wall Street Journal) The move matters now because Washington has put shareholder payouts in the firing line. President Donald Trump has pledged to block dividends and share buybacks — where companies repurchase their own stock — at defense contractors until they speed up weapons production, a stance that can reshape how investors value the group. (Reuters) Defense names have swung sharply as traders try to net

Exxon Mobil stock pops after-hours as CEO opens door to Venezuela return, earnings loom

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 18:42 EST — After-hours Exxon Mobil Corporation shares rose in after-hours trading on Friday after CEO Darren Woods said the company was ready to evaluate a return to Venezuela, where Exxon left after its assets were nationalized nearly two decades ago. Woods made the remarks at a White House meeting arranged days after U.S. forces captured and removed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro from power. Exxon stock was up 1.4% at $124.61, after trading between $122.31 and $124.86. (Reuters) The shift matters because it puts Venezuela — and its oil contracts — back on the map
