Lam Research stock hits record after Citi adds LRCX to 2026 list, lifting chip gear peers

Lam Research stock hits record after Citi adds LRCX to 2026 list, lifting chip gear peers

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 18:16 ET — After-hours Lam Research Corporation shares rose $13.86, or 8.1%, to $185.06 in after-hours trade on Friday, extending gains from the regular session after the chip-equipment maker was added to Citi’s Large Cap Recommended list for 2026. StockStory also cited a TD Cowen price-target increase and a reiterated overweight call from Cantor Fitzgerald, with the stock setting a fresh intraday high. Finviz The move matters because chipmaking-tool suppliers tend to trade as a read-through on how aggressively manufacturers plan to spend on new factories and upgrades. That spending cycle is being watched closely

Visa stock slips after-hours as Treasury yields rise to start 2026; jobs data looms

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 18:27 ET — After-hours Visa Inc (V) shares were last down about 1.2% at $346.48 in after-hours trading on Friday, after moving between $343.59 and $351.75 during the regular session. The early-year dip matters because Visa is widely viewed as a bellwether for everyday spending, and investors are using the first full week of 2026 to reset risk ahead of key U.S. economic releases. Shifts in rate expectations can quickly change how much investors are willing to pay for steady-growth franchises such as the card networks. Broader markets were mixed but steadier: the Dow rose

JPMorgan Chase stock is up today — here’s what’s driving JPM after the close

JPMorgan Chase stock is up today — here’s what’s driving JPM after the close

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 18:22 ET — After-hours JPMorgan Chase & Co shares were up about 1% in after-hours trading on Friday, at $325.48. The move matters because big banks often trade with interest-rate expectations. When rates rise, lenders can earn more on loans than they pay on deposits, widening net interest margin — the spread between those two rates. It also lands at the start of a January stretch that typically resets positioning after year-end. Traders are balancing higher yields against the risk that slower growth shows up in the next batch of U.S. economic releases. Wall Street

Adobe stock drops nearly 5% to start 2026 as tech lags; what investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 18:14 ET — After-hours Adobe stock (NASDAQ: ADBE) fell 4.8% on Friday and last traded at $333.30 in after-hours trading, which takes place electronically after the 4 p.m. close in New York. The shares opened at $349.86 and traded as low as $331.67. The drop left Adobe among notable laggards in big tech even as the Dow and S&P 500 ended higher on the first trading day of 2026, while the Nasdaq was little changed. “Investors might be a little bit more conscious about some of the valuations that they’re paying for some of the

Carvana stock drops to start 2026 as insider sale filings hit tape; what CVNA investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 18:19 ET — After-hours Carvana Co shares ended the first trading day of 2026 down 5.2% and last traded at $400.25 after the close, after ranging from $390.87 to $426.90 in the session. The stock finished 2025 at $422.02, according to Nasdaq data. Nasdaq The move matters because Carvana entered the year after a sharp 2025 run and a late-December addition to the S&P 500, a shift that can draw steady demand from index-tracking funds. Reuters It also lands as investors reassess richly valued consumer names early in the year, with any sign of insider

Eli Lilly stock (LLY) edges higher after hours today as drug-pricing reset and January catalysts loom

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 18:12 ET — After-hours Shares of Eli Lilly and Company rose about 0.5% in after-hours trading on Friday, last at $1,080.36. The stock swung between $1,052.96 and $1,080.49 during the regular session. The timing matters for drugmakers because early January is when many companies reset list prices — the sticker prices before rebates and discounts. Data from healthcare research firm 3 Axis Advisors showed manufacturers planned hikes on at least 350 branded medicines for 2026, with the median list-price increase around 4%, even as the Trump administration presses the industry for cuts. Reuters For Lilly,

Coinbase (COIN) stock rises after CEO Armstrong maps 2026 “everything exchange” push

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 18:06 ET — After-hours Coinbase Global Inc shares were up about 4.6% at $236.53 in after-hours trading on Friday, after Chief Executive Brian Armstrong laid out a 2026 roadmap focused on expanding the company beyond its core crypto exchange business. The stock opened at $230.58 and traded between $226.03 and $238.47 during the session, with about 8.7 million shares changing hands. The update landed as crypto-linked stocks try to find their footing after a volatile end to 2025, when digital-asset prices gave back a sizable portion of earlier gains and investor risk appetite cooled.

Goldman Sachs stock jumps 4% after-hours as yields rise and traders eye Jan. 15 earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 18:10 ET — After-hours Shares of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS) rose about 4% in after-hours trading on Friday. The stock was last up $35.38 at $914.34, after trading between $880.82 and $914.99 during the day. The move put a closely watched Wall Street bellwether in focus as investors reset portfolios for the new year. U.S. stocks ended higher, with the Dow up 0.66% and the S&P 500 up 0.19%, while the Nasdaq slipped 0.03%. “The market is seeing a ‘buy the dip, sell the rip,’ trading mentality,” said Joe Mazzola, head of trading
CoreWeave stock jumps after-hours after SEC filing eases liquidity covenant

CoreWeave stock jumps after-hours after SEC filing eases liquidity covenant

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 17:51 ET — After-hours CoreWeave shares rose in after-hours trading on Friday after the AI cloud provider disclosed amendments to a key credit agreement that loosen near-term covenant requirements, a filing showed. The stock was last up 10.8% at $79.32. The changes matter now because investors have been focused on how quickly heavily financed AI infrastructure companies can turn equipment deliveries into revenue and cash. Covenant tweaks can reduce the risk of a technical breach if project timing shifts. CoreWeave’s filing tied the amendment directly to delivery timing, underscoring that lenders — and shareholders —

UnitedHealth stock rises today as 2026 opens; UNH holds gains after hours with earnings ahead

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 18:00 ET — After-hours UnitedHealth Group Incorporated shares rose 1.9% to $336.40 at Friday’s close and were up about 0.2% in after-hours trading near $337.10. The stock ranged from $327.50 to $340.26 in the session as 2026 got underway. StockAnalysis The next catalyst is close. UnitedHealth will report full-year 2025 results and provide 2026 guidance on Jan. 27 before the market opens, followed by an 8 a.m. ET conference call, the company said.

Salesforce stock (CRM) drops 4% as 2026 opens; investors eye jobs report and next earnings

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 17:50 ET — After-hours Salesforce, Inc. shares were down 4.3% at $253.62 in after-hours trade on Friday, after moving between $252.49 and $267.00 during the session, according to market data. The slide put pressure on a large-cap software name that investors often use as a read on corporate IT budgets and the pace of enterprise adoption of new tools, including generative AI. It also mattered for the Dow, which is price-weighted — meaning higher-priced stocks have a bigger impact on the index than lower-priced ones. MarketWatch data showed Salesforce and Travelers were the biggest drags

Boeing stock jumps nearly 5% as $2.7B Apache support contract, risk-on trade lift Dow

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 5:49 PM ET — After-hours Boeing Co shares rose 4.9% on Friday and were last up the same amount at $227.77 in after-hours trading, lifting a key Dow component on the first trading day of 2026. Reuters The move matters because Boeing (BA.N) is one of the Dow’s most influential names, and a sharp swing in the stock can meaningfully shift the index’s daily point move. Friday’s jump helped the Dow snap a four-session losing streak even as the broader market finished mixed. Reuters It also lands as investors look for early-year signals after a

Trump told NBC he is considering $2,000 tariff rebate checks but has not committed, saying any payout would likely come later in 2026. The IRS warns taxpayers to ignore texts and emails about “stimulus payments” and verify notices through official channels.
