Regeneron stock pops on BofA double-upgrade as 2026 catalysts stack up

Regeneron stock pops on BofA double-upgrade as 2026 catalysts stack up

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 20:51 EST — Market closed Regeneron Pharmaceuticals shares climbed 4.6% on Wednesday after Bank of America upgraded the drugmaker to “Buy” from “Underperform” and raised its price objective to $860. Investing.com The call matters because Regeneron’s stock has been stuck in a tug-of-war: investors want proof the company can defend its eye-medicine franchise as rivals and copycat versions crowd the field, while newer products and pipeline shots sit further out. BofA wrote that earlier worries around the standard-dose version of Eylea have been priced in, and it is now leaning on a faster shift to

D-Wave Quantum stock (QBTS) slides after $550 million Quantum Circuits deal puts dilution in focus

New York, January 7, 2026, 20:16 (EST) — Market closed D-Wave Quantum shares fell 3.4% to close at $30.20 on Wednesday after the quantum computing company announced a $550 million deal for Quantum Circuits. StockAnalysis The move matters now because D-Wave is trying to widen its pitch beyond quantum annealing — a specialised method used mainly for optimisation problems such as scheduling — and push harder into “gate-model” systems, the general-purpose approach most labs pursue. Gate-model machines run sequences of operations on qubits, the basic unit of quantum information. The deal followed a separate announcement on Tuesday in which D-Wave

New York, January 7, 2026, 19:56 EST — After-hours AT&T Inc (T) shares fell 1.5% to $23.97 on Wednesday and were little changed after hours. Arete Research cut the stock to sell from neutral and set a $20 target, a report on analyst calls showed. 24/7 Wall St. The drop came as investors reposition ahead of AT&T’s next earnings report later this month, when guidance can matter more than one-off headlines. Verizon Communications and T-Mobile US also finished lower, but AT&T’s decline was steeper. Analysts tracked by Zacks expect earnings of 47 cents per share on revenue of $32.75 billion

AutoZone stock rebounds 2.3% after eight-day skid as Mizuho flags higher costs

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 20:02 EST — Market closed AutoZone Inc shares closed up about 2.3% at $3,318.08 on Wednesday, after trading between $3,246 and $3,351. The rise snapped an eight-session losing streak and came on heavier-than-usual volume, market data showed. AutoZone outperformed O’Reilly Automotive, while Advance Auto Parts and CarParts.com fell; the stock is still about 24% below its 52-week high of $4,388.11 set on Sept. 11. MarketWatch The bounce matters because analysts have been pushing back on the idea that AutoZone can keep delivering steady double-digit earnings growth while it steps up spending.

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 19:53 EST — After-hours Amphenol Corp (APH.N) shares ended down 1.8% at $138.91 on Wednesday, after a sharp bout of volatility earlier in the week tied to investor nerves about the next generation of AI hardware.
