Apple, Amazon, Google stocks in focus as Alphabet filings surface and charts turn bullish

Alphabet shares rose about 1% on Friday as investors returned for the first U.S. trading session of 2026 and zeroed in on mega-cap technology names. Apple edged higher, while Amazon.com slipped. The moves matter because these companies are among the biggest weights in the Nasdaq and S&P 500. Even modest swings can tug on index levels and shape risk sentiment early in the year.

Adobe stock drops more than 4% as new bull case says AI fears are overdone

Adobe shares slid about 4.4% on Friday morning, turning lower after opening near the prior close in a broad pullback across big software names. Salesforce and Autodesk were also down, while Microsoft slipped about 2%.

Stock market today: S&P 500, Nasdaq start 2026 higher as tech rebounds; Intuit sinks on co-founder sale

Intuit fell after a regulatory filing showed co-founder and director Scott Cook sold shares.

Broadcom stock rebounds as 2026 opens, with Benchmark bulls clashing with Trefis bear case

Broadcom shares rose about 3% on Friday, tracking a broader rebound in technology stocks as U.S. markets made a firmer start to 2026.

Broadcom has said it has a $73 billion AI backlog to ship over the next 18 months and expects AI semiconductor revenue to double to $8.2 billion in its fiscal first quarter, while warning gross margin will slip about 100 basis points, or one percentage point, as AI becomes a larger part of sales. “The backlog is still coming from only five customers,” said Kinngai Chan, a senior research analyst at Summit Insights.
