Palantir stock slides late Thursday as Truist’s fresh Buy call meets insider-sale filings

New York, January 8, 2026, 16:10 EST — After-hours Shares of Palantir Technologies Inc. fell about 2.5% to $177.22 late in Thursday’s session after touching $186.89 earlier in the day. The stock bottomed at $174.42 and was on pace for its biggest one-day drop so far this week. The slide comes as investors reassess how much they are willing to pay for fast-growing software names that have become shorthand for “AI trade” in the market. Palantir has been one of them, and it does not take much to move it. A fresh bullish initiation from Truist and a batch of

Micron stock slides as AI-chip rally cools, even after Piper Sandler’s fresh $400 target

Micron stock slides as AI-chip rally cools, even after Piper Sandler’s fresh $400 target

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 16:08 EST — After-hours Micron Technology (MU.O) shares ended Thursday down 3.8%, easing back after a strong early-year run that took the memory chipmaker to a record high earlier this week. The move matters now because Micron has turned into a handy proxy for what investors will pay for a memory upcycle linked to artificial-intelligence spending, where tighter supply can quickly flow through to higher contract prices. Wall Street has been buying into that story, rolling out fresh target hikes and talking up pricing power. Thursday’s drop was a reminder the trade can still take

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 16:07 ET — After-hours Tesla shares rose about 1.1% to $435.95 in Thursday’s regular session, after trading as low as $424.66 and as high as $436.82. The move came as Wall Street turned choppy for big tech and other AI-linked names, with investors asking more pointed questions about what all that spending buys. The Nasdaq fell 0.65% on the day, and “while AI is still hot, there are going to be winners and losers,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley Wealth.

Amazon stock (AMZN) rises on EU digital rule reprieve — here’s what traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 16:13 EST — After-hours Amazon.com Inc shares were up about 2% at $246.30 in late trading on Thursday after people with direct knowledge said the European Union will spare Big Tech from binding obligations in its planned Digital Networks Act overhaul. Alphabet’s Google, Meta Platforms, Netflix and Microsoft are also set to fall under a voluntary framework, the people said.

Apple stock slips as India antitrust fine risk resurfaces and JPMorgan takes over Apple Card

New York, January 8, 2026, 16:07 ET — After-hours Apple (AAPL.O) shares fell 0.7% to $258.58 in late trading on Thursday, valuing the iPhone maker at about $3.0 trillion. The stock, trading at roughly 30 times trailing earnings, swung between $255.83 and $260.25. The move comes as investors trim exposure to large technology stocks early in the year, when fresh U.S. data can shift interest-rate bets fast. Higher bond yields can hit growth stocks because they make future profits worth less in today’s money. For Apple, the timing matters because the company is leaning harder on services like payments and

Why Coca-Cola stock is up today: KO climbs as Wall Street turns defensive

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 15:37 EST — Regular session Shares of The Coca-Cola Company rose about 2.5% to $69.23 in afternoon trading on Thursday, outpacing a near-flat U.S. market. The move matters now because investors are rotating into defensive pockets as they reassess stretched valuations in parts of big tech. “It’s become a ‘show me’ sector,” Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley Wealth, said, as traders waited for Friday’s U.S. nonfarm payrolls report. Reuters The Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLP) climbed about 2.4%.

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 15:42 EST — Regular session Celestica Inc shares fell 5.8% to $288.20 in afternoon trading on Thursday, after opening at $311.53 and sliding as low as $281.34. About 2.4 million shares had changed hands. The drop matters because Celestica has turned into a high-beta read-through on spending for cloud and data-center gear, and investors have started to flinch at rich valuations across the AI supply chain. “It’s become a ‘show me’ sector,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley Wealth. Reuters Across Wall Street, Treasury yields rose ahead of Friday’s U.S. nonfarm payrolls

The stock was down 7.1% at $188.32, after opening at $201.71 and touching $185.82.
