New York, January 15, 2026, 12:42 EST — Regular session Adobe Inc shares edged down 0.6% to $302.49 on Thursday midday, even as the Invesco QQQ Trust tracking the Nasdaq 100 rose about 1%.

Salesforce stock drops as Wolfe sticks with $350 target, but AI anxiety still weighs on CRM

New York, January 15, 2026, 11:27 EST — Regular session Salesforce (CRM) shares were down 1.6% at $235.78 in late morning trade on Thursday, lagging a rise in major U.S. stock ETFs that track the Nasdaq and S&P 500. The pullback matters because investors have turned jumpy on big software names, pressing for signs that new “AI agents” — systems that can take actions, not just answer questions — will lift revenue fast enough to justify years of spending. Salesforce is in the middle of that argument. It has been rolling out Agentforce, its AI agent platform, and tying it

Broadcom (AVGO) stock rebounds on Wells Fargo upgrade as China’s VMware ban clouds the week

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 09:34 EST — Regular session Broadcom shares climbed early Thursday following a Wells Fargo upgrade. The chipmaker’s stock gained 1.7%, hitting $345.74, recovering some ground after a sharp drop the previous day.

Shopify stock in focus after 6% slide as Wayfair joins Google’s AI checkout protocol

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 07:23 EST — Premarket Shares of Shopify Inc (SHOP) fell 5.9% to close at $157.51 on Wednesday amid a wider tech selloff. The stock remained active in premarket trading Thursday as more retailers endorsed a new AI shopping standard.
