Oracle stock slides again as ORCL lags Nasdaq rebound after tariff shock

New York, January 21, 2026, 11:07 AM EST — Regular session Oracle Corp shares dipped Wednesday, trailing behind the wider U.S. stock rebound as investors remained cautious about the company’s heavily debt-fueled effort to expand its artificial intelligence data center footprint. Oracle dropped 2.3% to $175.72 in late morning trading, even as the Nasdaq-tracking Invesco QQQ climbed roughly 1.4%. The stock had fallen 5.85% on Tuesday. (MarketWatch) Oracle’s lagging performance is significant as it now serves as a barometer for the expense of ramping up AI infrastructure — heavy initial investment with unclear returns down the line.

NEW YORK, Jan 21, 2026, 10:35 ET — Regular session Intel shares jumped 9.7% to $53.25 in early New York trade on Wednesday, fueling a wider rally among AI chip stocks.

Tesla stock rises after Musk warns Cybercab and Optimus will start “agonizingly slow”

New York, January 21, 2026, 10:09 (EST) — Regular session Tesla (TSLA.O) shares climbed about 1% to $423.32 in early trading Wednesday after CEO Elon Musk warned that initial production of the Cybercab robotaxi and Optimus humanoid robot will be “agonizingly slow” before accelerating. The stock has fluctuated between $417.53 and $424.21 during the session. (Reuters) The remark comes at a tense moment for Tesla. Investors have been valuing the company based on future bets like autonomy and robotics, areas still missing from the income statement — leaving little tolerance for vague timelines. The market’s focus has shifted—investors are weighing

Nvidia stock (NVDA) ticks up after Tuesday hit as Congress export vote and China trip loom

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 09:41 EST — Regular session Nvidia shares gained roughly 0.6% to hit $179.17 in early Wednesday trading, bouncing back from a 4.4% drop the day before. The stock kicked off the session at $178.95 and fluctuated between $178.43 and $179.83 in the morning. (StockAnalysis) The bounce arrives as policy risk reenters the spotlight. Nvidia, the most prominent proxy for the AI spending surge, tends to react sharply whenever there’s a change in who’s allowed to purchase its leading chips. That sensitivity showed up again just a day before, with U.S. stocks retreating sharply amid fresh

New York, January 21, 2026, 09:44 (ET) — Regular session. Tesla (TSLA) shares dropped 4.2% to $419.25 in early Wednesday trading after CEO Elon Musk warned that initial production of the Cybercab robotaxi and Optimus humanoid robot would be “agonizingly slow” before picking up pace. The company, valued around $1.39 trillion, has pinned much of its future on these ambitious projects to shift investor perception beyond just electric vehicles. Musk explained on X that production speed slows as new parts and processes are introduced; the Cybercab is a two-seater lacking manual controls, with Tesla aiming for volume production by 2026

Dell stock steadies premarket after Morgan Stanley cuts target and warns on 2026 hardware budgets

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 07:57 EST — Premarket Dell Technologies Inc shares ticked up around 0.2% to $111.27 in premarket trading Wednesday, rebounding slightly after a 7.9% drop the day before. The stock’s slid about 13% since January began. (StockAnalysis) This matters since Dell is caught between two shaky sectors: corporate PC upgrades and enterprise servers and storage. When analysts shift focus from product cycles to budgets, traders often retreat quickly, holding their questions for later. One downgrade alone rarely sinks a stock. Yet the hardware sector is acting like it’s just one pricing misstep from losing customers— and

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 05:29 (ET) — Premarket Roblox Corp shares slipped 9.7% to $78.84 in premarket trading Wednesday. The shift came after a tough session for growth stocks Tuesday, as fresh trade and geopolitical concerns rattled risk appetite. The Nasdaq dropped 2.4%, and the S&P 500 lost 2.1%, according to the Wall Street Journal. (Wall Street Journal) Roblox is in focus because investors want to see if the company’s new age-check for chat might slow user engagement or spending. On Tuesday, Oppenheimer kept its Outperform rating and $150 price target, noting that initial checks on top Roblox games

IonQ stock whipsaws in late trade as quantum names get caught in tech selloff

New York, Jan 20, 2026, 21:33 EST — Market closed Shares of IonQ, Inc. slipped 0.3% to $50.66 following Tuesday’s close, after moving between $47.71 and $54.17 during the session on volume of roughly 24.6 million shares. U.S. stocks tumbled late in the session, dragged down by new tariff news and a surge in risk aversion that slammed growth and speculative sectors the hardest. (Investors) That context is key for IonQ, given how quantum-computing stocks now act as high-beta plays, typically swinging more sharply than the broader market when risk sentiment shifts. Peers saw similar moves: D-Wave Quantum dropped 6.2%,

Meta stock slides after FTC revives Instagram-WhatsApp antitrust fight, with earnings next week

New York, Jan 20, 2026, 16:40 ET — After-hours trading Meta Platforms shares fell 2.5% to $604.12 in after-hours Tuesday after the U.S. Federal Trade Commission said it will appeal a court ruling that dismissed its case against Meta’s Instagram and WhatsApp acquisitions. (Yahoo Finance) The appeal brings back the chance of a breakup for a stock that’s recently behaved more like a macro indicator—large, liquid, and vulnerable to steep declines when risk appetite fades. It comes just ahead of quarterly earnings, adding to the timing. On top of that, it creates a new angle amid the ongoing regulatory probe

The stock swung between $345.28 and $331.94, with around 31.8 million shares changing hands.
