Qualcomm (QCOM) stock drops after Mizuho downgrade flags Apple modem risk

New York, January 10, 2026, 16:59 EST — Market closed Qualcomm shares slid on Friday after Mizuho downgraded the chip designer, keeping the focus on a familiar worry: how fast Apple can replace Qualcomm modem chips in iPhones. The move matters because it lands in a week where Qualcomm tried to remind investors it is more than a handset story, with new PC chips and more auto ties on display around CES in Las Vegas. It also comes as rate-sensitive tech trades face fresh tests. U.S. inflation data next week can quickly reset expectations for interest rates and the valuations

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 16:20 (ET) — Market closed Shopify Inc. shares dipped 2.3% to close at $164.48 on Friday, dropping despite U.S. stocks finishing the week strong.

Caterpillar stock gains after CES AI assistant push; CPI and earnings are next test

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 2:14 PM EST — Market closed Caterpillar Inc shares ended Friday higher after the heavy equipment maker pitched a new AI assistant and a broader automation push at CES in Las Vegas. The stock closed at $617.62, up 1.6%, with about 1.8 million shares traded. The timing matters because CES, which ran through Friday, has become a noisy showcase for companies trying to convince investors they can sell software and services alongside hardware. For Caterpillar, the message is less about shiny demos and more about cutting downtime and tightening fleet management, two items customers pay

ASML stock leaps 7% as TSMC revenue beat lifts chip gear names into CPI, earnings week

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 10:50 EST — Market closed. ASML Holding NV (ASML.O) shares jumped 6.7% on Friday, closing at $1,273.88. The stock outpaced a flat broader market as investors braced for a busy slate of macro and chip-sector events. This shift is significant as traders return to semiconductors, boosted by new demand signals from the supply chain. Interest-rate bets, meanwhile, hang on next week’s U.S. inflation figures. The rally sharpens focus on chipmakers’ 2026 spending plans—and their timing. For ASML, this is crucial: its lifeblood comes from orders of lithography systems, the machines that print circuit patterns onto

Samsung Electronics stock clings to 139,000 won after record profit guide — what matters before Jan 29

SEOUL, Jan 11, 2026, 00:33 KST — Market closed Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. shares closed Friday at 139,000 won, ticking up 0.1%. The company’s earnings outlook suggested a record quarterly operating profit, fueling chip sector optimism ahead of a key catalyst later this month. The numbers matter because Samsung stands at the heart of the memory-chip crunch affecting AI data centres, PCs, and phones. Traders see the latest guidance as further proof that traditional memory prices have firmed up once more, boosting near-term earnings potential despite uneven global demand. The memory boom is now spilling over into the broader electronics

New York, January 10, 2026, 09:58 EST — Market closed Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) shares rose 2.1% to $445.01 on Friday, trading between $430.40 and $448.78, with about 74 million shares changing hands. Tesla stock has become a bet on what comes after cars — software, robotaxis and humanoid robots — as much as on quarterly deliveries. That makes it fast to reprice when the autonomy race shifts, or when rates move and squeeze high-valuation names.

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 09:35 EST — Market closed Microsoft Corp’s (MSFT.O) newest move to transform its Copilot chatbot into a shopping and checkout hub comes as investors begin recalibrating their 2026 AI revenue forecasts. The stock closed Friday slightly higher, gaining 0.2% to $479.28. Timing is key. Big tech has driven much of the index rally, yet traders are now questioning what follows the flashy AI demos — particularly for firms investing heavily in data centers, chips, and software to stay competitive.
