NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 06:23 EST — Premarket Applied Digital’s shares slipped 2% to $29.56 in premarket trading on Thursday after the company reported quarterly results and updated investors on its AI data-center buildout.

Intel stock jumps 6% in premarket as CES “Panther Lake” chips put Jan. 22 earnings in focus

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 06:32 EST — Premarket Intel shares (INTC.O) jumped about 6.4% in premarket trading on Thursday to $42.63, extending a CES-fuelled rally after the company laid out new laptop processors built on its 18A manufacturing process.

Meta stock slips premarket as China opens probe into Manus AI acquisition

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 06:25 EST — Premarket Meta Platforms (META.O) shares slipped 0.4% in premarket trading on Thursday after China said it would assess and investigate the company’s acquisition of artificial intelligence startup Manus. Investing.com+1 The move adds a fresh layer of regulatory risk to Meta’s push to buy AI talent and tools, an area where Beijing has shown growing sensitivity around data and technology moving offshore. Traders were already cautious after Meta fell 1.8% on Wednesday, closing at $648.69 after touching a session low of $644.81. Yahoo Finance China’s review was already on investors’ radar after the

Nvidia’s China upfront-payment demand puts AI stocks in focus ahead of U.S. payrolls

New York, January 8, 2026, 06:41 (EST) — Premarket Nvidia shares rose about 1% to $189.11 in premarket trade on Thursday after sources said the chipmaker is demanding full upfront payment from Chinese buyers of its H200 artificial-intelligence chips. The terms leave customers no option to cancel or ask for refunds once an order is placed, the people said. Reuters The tighter stance matters because China demand is a swing factor for AI stocks that have powered the rally, and policy risk is now showing up in contracts, not just headlines. Beijing has asked some Chinese tech firms to halt

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 06:25 ET — Premarket Micron Technology (MU) shares fell 1.1% in premarket trading on Thursday to $339.55. The memory-chip maker said it will break ground on its $100 billion “megafab” project in Onondaga County, New York on Jan. 16, after clearing environmental reviews and permits. Micron Technology The date puts a concrete marker on a project investors see as central to Micron’s long-term supply plan, just as AI servers soak up DRAM — dynamic random access memory used in servers, PCs and phones — and strain capacity.

Nvidia stock rises premarket as China H200 buyers face stricter upfront-payment terms

New York, January 8, 2026, 06:21 EST — Premarket Nvidia shares rose about 1% to $189.11 in premarket trading on Thursday after the chip designer demanded full upfront payment from Chinese customers for its H200 artificial-intelligence (AI) chips, two people briefed on the matter said. Chinese technology companies have placed orders for more than 2 million H200 chips priced at around $27,000 each, outstripping Nvidia’s inventory of 700,000 units, the people said. Domestic chips such as Huawei’s Ascend 910C still lag Nvidia’s H200 for large-scale training of advanced AI models, they added. Reuters Beijing has asked some Chinese tech companies

Oil prices rise on U.S. stock draw and Venezuela headlines; Exxon stock steadies after earnings-hit warning

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 06:20 EST — Premarket Exxon Mobil shares were up about 0.1% in premarket trade at $118.61 on Thursday, after ending the prior session down 2.1%. In a regulatory filing, Exxon said lower crude prices could trim fourth-quarter upstream — its oil and gas production business — earnings by $800 million to $1.2 billion. The filing also showed stronger refining margins, a gauge of profit from turning crude into fuel, could add $300 million to $700 million, with results due on Jan. 30.

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 06:12 EST — Premarket Spot gold fell 0.6% to $4,427.48 an ounce on Thursday, weighed down by a firmer dollar and positioning ahead of the Bloomberg Commodity Index’s annual rebalancing, a reshuffle that can force big funds to trade futures. “Over the next five days, COMEX futures could see selling in the region of $6 to $7 billion in each metal,” Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, said. Reuters The timing matters because gold is coming off a year that reset price levels and expectations, leaving less room for surprises. Morgan Stanley

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 06:22 EST — Premarket Netflix stock (NFLX) inched up 0.1% to $90.73 in premarket trading on Thursday after the streaming company reaffirmed its commitment to a proposed deal for key Warner Bros. Discovery assets. The fresh statement matters because the takeover fight around Warner Bros. Discovery has become the main near-term overhang for Netflix shares, with investors weighing potential dilution, regulatory scrutiny and the risk that a rival bidder forces a higher price. Warner Bros. Discovery’s board on Wednesday urged shareholders to reject Paramount Skydance’s amended tender offer — a bid made directly to shareholders
