Sandisk stock slips in late trade after AI-storage rally cools — what investors watch next

New York, January 8, 2026, 17:51 (EST) — After-hours Sandisk (SNDK.O) shares were down 5.3% at $334.54 in late trading on Thursday, after closing the regular session sharply lower and erasing part of this week’s CES-fueled jump. The stock swung between $311.07 and $363.74 on the day after finishing Wednesday at $353.40. The pullback hit other AI-linked memory and storage names too, with Western Digital down 6.1% and Seagate Technology off 7.7% in Thursday’s session. “It’s become a ‘show me’ sector,” Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley Wealth, said, as investors grew pickier about richly valued AI beneficiaries.

Reuters Oracle has been a live wire in that debate since it moved deeper into AI cloud infrastructure. In December,

Nvidia stock slips after report on China H200 payments as jobs data and earnings loom

New York, January 8, 2026, 5:19 PM EST — After-hours Nvidia shares fell on Thursday after Reuters reported the chipmaker is demanding full upfront payment from Chinese customers for its H200 data-center chips, used to train and run AI models. The stock slipped 2.1% to $185.04 in late trading, after hitting $190.28 earlier and falling as low as $183.77. Chinese firms have placed orders for more than 2 million H200s priced around $27,000 each, far above Nvidia’s inventory of about 700,000 units, as local alternatives still lag for large-scale AI training.

Bitcoin price hovers near $91,000 as ETF money turns; Strategy stock ticks up after MSCI call

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 17:13 EST — After-hours Bitcoin was last up 0.2% at $91,142 on Thursday, after sliding as low as $89,312 earlier in the session, and U.S.-listed crypto stocks finished mixed in extended trading. Strategy was up 3.2%, while Coinbase slipped 0.1%; miners Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms rose 3.7% and fell 1.0%, respectively. The market is trying to price two moving parts at once: whether bitcoin-treasury stocks stay anchored in major indexes and whether the ETF bid is still there. MSCI shelved a plan to exclude so-called digital asset treasury companies — operating firms that hold

MoonLake stock jumps after FDA feedback clears path for sonelokimab filing without new HS trials

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 17:06 EST — After-hours MoonLake Immunotherapeutics shares jumped 27% to $14.34 on Thursday after the biotech said U.S. regulators supported a route to file its hidradenitis suppurativa treatment without doing more trials for the skin disease. The stock churned between $11.20 and $17.28, and roughly 24 million shares traded. The update is a big deal because it clears up a near-term unknown: whether MoonLake would need to pay for and run another late-stage study before it can seek approval. For a clinical-stage company with no product revenue, that sort of timing decision can jolt the

Dow Jones ends higher on defense rebound as tech drags; Friday jobs report looms

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 17:06 EST — After-hours The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended higher on Thursday, lifted by a rebound in defense stocks after President Donald Trump called for a sharply larger U.S. military budget. The Dow rose 270.03 points, or 0.55%, to 49,266.11; the S&P 500 edged up 0.01% and the Nasdaq fell 0.44%. Reuters The market is trying to price two messages at once: a bigger spending push that could fatten defense backlogs, and a tougher line on contractors’ shareholder payouts.

Costco stock rises after December sales jump — what investors watch next for COST

Costco stock rises after December sales jump — what investors watch next for COST

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 16:46 EST — After-hours Costco Wholesale Corp (COST.O) shares rose in after-hours trade on Thursday after the warehouse retailer reported higher December sales. The stock was last up 3.7% at $915.31. Costco’s monthly sales release is one of the fastest reads investors get on its holiday season, dropping in right as markets sift through which retailers are still grabbing share. For Costco, the bar is touchy; even a slight shift in comps can rattle a stock that rarely looks “cheap.” That matters, too, in part because the report is new. It covers a five-week December

GOOG stock rises after hours as Alphabet sets Feb. 4 earnings date; Wiz deal deadline in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 16:34 EST — After-hours Alphabet’s non-voting Class C shares (GOOG) rose 1.1% in after-hours trade on Thursday to $326.01, following a choppy session that had the stock swinging between $322.23 and $329.88. The move comes as investors hunt for the next obvious catalyst for a stock caught between two big questions: how fast Google can keep its ad machine growing, and how much it will need to spend to stay in the AI race. The next few weeks may get choppy, with regulators and earnings both on the calendar. Spending is the other side of

AMD stock slips after-hours as CES AI chip pitch meets “show me” market mood

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 16:41 EST — After-hours Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.O) shares were down 2.5% at $204.68 in after-hours trading on Thursday, after swinging between $203.35 and $211.51 in the session. The late dip matters because AMD is heading into its next earnings report with investors still trying to price how quickly its new AI (artificial intelligence) hardware turns into shipped systems and recurring orders. The stock’s slide also puts a round-number $200 level back on screens for short-term traders. Wall Street’s tone did not help. U.S. stocks ended mixed, with technology shares sliding as investors picked through

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 4:32 PM (EST) — After-hours Meta Platforms shares were down 0.4% at $646.06 in after-hours trade on Thursday after China’s commerce ministry said it would assess and investigate Meta’s acquisition of artificial intelligence startup Manus. The stock swung between $635.79 and $647.03 during the session. Reuters The move lands as investors get pickier about the big checks going into AI, and whether they pay back soon enough to justify rich valuations. “It’s become a ‘show me’ sector,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B.
