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.

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.
