Apple stock ticks higher after iPhone 17 helps Apple top 2025 shipments — what AAPL investors watch next

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:37 — Regular session Apple shares rose 0.1% to $259.37 in early trade on Monday after Counterpoint Research data showed the iPhone maker led global smartphone shipments in 2025, even as U.S. stocks opened lower. Apple held a 20% share, ahead of Samsung’s 19% and Xiaomi’s 13%, with Counterpoint analyst Varun Mishra pointing to “solid demand in emerging and mid-sized markets” and strong iPhone 17 sales. Counterpoint research director Tarun Pathak said the smartphone market could soften in 2026 as chip shortages and higher component costs bite, with chipmakers prioritising AI data centres over handsets.

30,000 Homes Without Water: Major Incident Declared in Kent as South East Water Scrambles

Kent County Council declared a major incident on Monday as roughly 30,000 homes across parts of Kent and Sussex lost running water or experienced a severe drop in pressure. The disruption spilled into the start of the week, forcing some schools to close and public services to pivot while households line up for bottled water. For local officials, it’s turned into an emergency-planning challenge just as much as a plumbing issue.

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 11:32 a.m. EST — Regular session JPMorgan Chase & Co shares fell about 2% to $322.55 in morning trading on Monday after President Donald Trump called for a one-year cap that would limit credit card interest rates to 10%. “It would take an Act of Congress for such rate caps to be in place,” UBS Global analysts wrote, while Seaport Research analyst Bill Ryan said “affordability has become a top concern.”

HCLTech Q3 results are out: Revenue beats estimates, profit drops and FY26 guidance narrows

HCLTech reported a stronger-than-expected jump in third-quarter revenue on Monday, but a one-off expense linked to India’s new labour laws dragged profit below estimates. The company trimmed its fiscal 2026 revenue growth forecast to 4% to 4.5%, down from the previous range of 3% to 5%. Revenue climbed 13.3% to 338.72 billion rupees, while profit slipped 11.2% to 40.76 billion rupees, weighed down by a 9.56 billion-rupee charge, the firm said. India’s IT earnings season kicks off early, as investors look for signs that clients are starting to spend more after a lengthy period of cautious tech budgets. Bloomberg consensus estimates, highlighted by NDTV Profit earlier today, suggest mid-single-digit sequential revenue growth alongside a stronger jump in operating profits, driven by software seasonality.
IREN stock pops in premarket as Bernstein tags it a 2026 “top AI pick” after Microsoft deal

IREN stock pops in premarket as Bernstein tags it a 2026 “top AI pick” after Microsoft deal

IREN shares climbed roughly 2.2% in U.S. premarket Monday, following a Bernstein note naming the company a 2026 “top AI pick,” per TipRanks. The stock was flagged at $47.05, up $1.02 from its previous close. https://www.google.com/finance/quote/IREN%3ANASDAQ?hl=en The call matters because IREN straddles two volatile sectors: bitcoin-linked miners and AI data centers. Investors are wrestling with whether its grid power and chip agreements can transform a boom-and-bust mining operation into a steadier stream of contracted infrastructure revenue.
