Intel stock jumps 6% as Trump praises CEO meeting, earnings loom

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 11:16 EST — Regular session Intel shares rose about 6% on Friday, lifting the stock toward its best levels of the week, after fresh attention on the chipmaker followed President Donald Trump’s comments about a meeting with CEO Lip-Bu Tan. The shares were up 6.1% at $43.62 in late-morning trade. The move matters because Intel’s stock has turned into a fast read on whether the company can prove it is back on track in manufacturing — the hard part of its turnaround — at a time when U.S. industrial policy and big capital spending are

Netflix stock slides below $90 as Goldman trims target and Warner bid fight drags on

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 11:05 EST — Regular session Netflix stock fell about 2% on Friday after Goldman Sachs lowered its price target, keeping pressure on a share price already down sharply since the last earnings report. Netflix was down $1.84 at $88.70 in late morning trade, after slipping below $90 and touching a session low of $88.33. (TipRanks) The timing matters because the stock has become a proxy for merger risk, not just streaming fundamentals. Paramount Skydance reiterated on Thursday that its $30-per-share offer for Warner Bros. Discovery tops Netflix’s $27.75-a-share cash-and-stock deal for Warner’s studios and streaming

TIC Solutions stock rises after JPMorgan starts coverage — what NYSE:TIC investors watch before Feb. 3

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 10:31 EST — Regular session Shares of TIC Solutions rose 4.8% to $11.40 in morning trading on Friday, after JPMorgan initiated coverage with an Overweight rating and a $16 price target. The stock touched $11.66 and traded as low as $11.04. (TipRanks) The call matters because TIC is still being priced like an integration story, not a finished one.

Applied Digital stock jumps again as hyperscaler talks and $2.35B financing keep APLD in play

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 11:16 EST — Regular session Applied Digital Corp shares rose about 11% to $35.38 on Friday, extending a post-earnings run for the AI data center developer as investors focused on new customer talks and the company’s funding stack. Broader U.S. equities were modestly higher. The move matters because Applied Digital is trying to turn signed power and lease commitments into operating capacity in a market where power, cooling and construction slots are tight. For traders, the question is less “AI demand” and more “how fast, how funded, and how concentrated.” Applied Digital has pitched itself

GDS Holdings stock slips after DayOne’s $2 billion raise — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 10:49 EST — Regular session Shares of GDS Holdings Limited (GDS.O) were down 1.9% at $40.95 in morning trade on Friday, trimming a rally that lifted the China-linked data center operator a day earlier. The stock closed up 8.6% on Thursday at $41.75. (Morningstar) The swing matters because investors have been treating GDS as a high-beta read on spending for new “hyperscale” data centers — huge sites built for cloud and AI computing — while watching how its overseas affiliate funds growth. DayOne Data Centers this week outlined a $2 billion-plus equity raise and expansion

New York, January 9, 2026, 11:03 EST — Regular session JPMorgan Chase & Co shares rose 0.4% to $331.12 on Friday after the bank agreed to replace Goldman Sachs as the issuer of Apple’s credit card, broadening its consumer lending footprint just ahead of earnings.

(Reuters) The agreement is expected to shift more than $20 billion of Apple Card balances to Chase once it closes, though the transition is expected to take roughly 24 months and remains subject to regulatory approvals, the

AMD stock ticks higher as soft jobs data steadies rate bets; CES AI chips and Feb. 3 earnings next

NEW YORK, January 9, 2026, 10:44 EST — Regular session Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.O) stock rose about 0.5% to $205.75 in morning trade on Friday, after moving between $203.95 and $206.81 earlier in the session. The shares ended Thursday at $204.68. The move followed a weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report that helped keep hopes for lower interest rates alive, a tailwind for richly valued chipmakers. Nonfarm payrolls rose 50,000 in December and the unemployment rate slipped to 4.4%, while Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management, said it was “difficult to argue that the labour market is collapsing.” Futures

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 10:55 EST — Regular session Strategy Inc shares fell 3.8% to $160.57 on Friday, extending choppy trade after an MSCI index decision that initially lifted the bitcoin-treasury stock. Bitcoin was up about 0.7%, while Coinbase fell about 2%. Why it matters now: index membership can drive automatic buying or selling by funds that track benchmarks, and Strategy has become a popular equity proxy for bitcoin exposure. MSCI said it will keep “digital asset treasury companies” in its indexes through the February 2026 review, but it will freeze certain inputs used to calculate index weights and
