Adobe stock slips on Jefferies downgrade as AI payoff questioned — what to watch next

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 20:40 EST — Market closed Adobe (ADBE.O) shares slipped on Monday after Jefferies downgraded the Photoshop maker to “hold,” arguing that the company’s push to monetise new artificial intelligence tools is not yet translating into faster growth. The stock ended down 0.5% at $331.56. Investing.com The downgrade matters now because investors are re-pricing software stocks around a simple question: will generative AI add incremental subscription revenue, or pressure the value of traditional application licences? For Adobe, which has leaned on Creative Cloud subscriptions for years, that debate is moving from product demos to revenue math.

Halliburton stock jumps nearly 8% on Venezuela jolt as oil-services rally takes hold

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 20:46 EST — Market closed Halliburton Co (HAL.N) shares jumped 7.9% on Monday to $31.92, after touching a session high of $33.33. SLB (SLB.N) added 9.0% and Baker Hughes (BKR.O) rose 4.1%, while the VanEck Oil Services ETF gained 5.2%.

Why KLA stock jumped 6% and what CES headlines mean for KLAC next

New York, January 5, 2026, 20:26 EST — Market closed KLA Corp (KLAC) shares climbed 6.3% on Monday to $1,352.45, extending a strong start to 2026 for semiconductor equipment makers. That matters because KLA’s tools help chipmakers spot defects and improve “yield” — the share of usable chips produced — making the stock a frequent read-through on spending at fabrication plants, known as fabs. KLA Corporation The latest bid followed fresh CES headlines out of Las Vegas, where Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang rolled out new chips and autonomy-focused artificial intelligence models. “The ChatGPT moment for physical AI is here,” Huang

Walmart stock: Mizuho lifts target but drops WMT from top picks as Feb. 19 earnings loom

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 20:03 EST — Market closed Walmart Inc shares were last at $112.71 after U.S. markets shut, little changed in late after-hours trading. The muted move masks a bigger question hanging over big-box retail at the start of 2026: whether spending holds up as inflation remains elevated and the labor market shows signs of cooling. For Walmart, that debate matters because it sits at the intersection of grocery essentials and discretionary categories. Investors tend to treat it as both a consumer bellwether and a defensive name when households tighten budgets. In Monday’s regular session, Walmart closed

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 19:59 EST — After-hours Caterpillar’s stock closed up 2.96% on Monday and was up about 0.3% in after-hours trading as the heavy equipment maker laid out plans to showcase “industrial AI” — artificial intelligence applied to machine and jobsite data — and autonomy, or equipment operating with less human control, at CES 2026. StockAnalysis+1 The timing matters because CES puts a global spotlight on companies trying to turn AI buzz into products customers will pay for, and Caterpillar has leaned into technology as a growth narrative alongside its cyclical construction and mining business.

StreetInsider.com The move matters because investors are heading into a dense stretch of company updates, with management set to speak at the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference next week and to deliver fourth-quarter results later this month.

Verizon stock slides despite record Dow rally as dividend date, Jan. 30 earnings near

New York, January 5, 2026, 20:05 (EST) — Market closed Verizon Communications Inc shares ended Monday down 0.7% at $40.23, underperforming a broad Wall Street rally that lifted the Dow to a record high. Yahoo Finance+1 The move matters for Verizon holders because the telecom stock trades largely as an income play, with a quarterly dividend that implies an annualized yield of about 6.9% at Monday’s close. With the next dividend and the fourth-quarter report both on the near-term calendar, small shifts in rate expectations and risk appetite can move the stock at the margin.

Western Digital stock hits a 52-week high, then cools after-hours as AI memory squeeze grips traders

New York, January 5, 2026, 19:43 EST — After-hours Western Digital (WDC) shares steadied in after-hours trading on Monday after a whipsaw session that briefly lifted the data-storage maker toward a fresh 52-week peak. The stock last traded at $187.88, up 0.1%, after swinging between $182.77 and $195.75 during the session. The late fade matters because storage and memory names have become a fast-moving proxy for artificial-intelligence infrastructure spending, where supply bottlenecks can show up suddenly and ripple into pricing. For investors trying to position ahead of earnings season, those pricing signals often matter more than near-term unit shipments. Western

New York, January 5, 2026, 19:47 EST — After-hours Bank of America Corp shares rose 1.68% to close at $56.89 on Monday and were little changed in after-hours trading. The move matters because investors have been rotating into U.S. financials ahead of the first wave of quarterly bank results, with rate expectations back in the spotlight. Bank stocks tend to trade on the outlook for lending demand, credit losses and the path of interest rates. For Bank of America, the next test is whether the economy stays firm enough to support loan growth while pressure eases on funding costs. Traders

New York, January 5, 2026, 19:41 EST — After-hours Boeing shares edged higher in after-hours trading on Monday after an industry data review pointed to a stronger year-end delivery tally, even as a separate analyst note flagged a December slowdown in 737 MAX fuselage shipments. The stock was up 0.2% at $228.13, after trading between $227.40 and $230.94 in the regular session. Aircraft deliveries — the handover of jets to customers — matter because they typically trigger final payments and help turn inventory into cash.
