D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) stock jumps in premarket as CES 2026 nears

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 07:55 ET — Premarket D-Wave Quantum Inc shares were up 3.3% at $27.01 in premarket trading on Friday, after closing at $26.15 on Dec. 31, according to Yahoo Finance.

Amazon’s 2026 FBA rule kicks in as analysts turn bullish on AWS rebound

Amazon’s 2026 FBA rule kicks in as analysts turn bullish on AWS rebound

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 07:15 ET Amazon.com (AMZN.O) has stopped offering prep and item labeling for U.S. Fulfillment by Amazon shipments as of Jan. 1, shifting tasks such as labeling and packaging back to sellers. Fulfillment by Amazon, or FBA, is the paid service where Amazon stores, packs and ships products on behalf of third-party merchants. Amazon said the change applies across its U.S. network and that shipments created before Jan. 1 can still receive prep, while later shipments that arrive without required preparation may lose eligibility for certain reimbursements.

SMCI stock rises in premarket after Supermicro unveils new liquid-cooled SuperBlade AI server

SMCI stock rises in premarket after Supermicro unveils new liquid-cooled SuperBlade AI server

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 06:58 ET — Premarket Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI.O) shares were up about 3% at $30.13 in U.S. premarket trading on Friday, placing the server maker among the session’s early gainers. Investing.com The move matters because demand for AI infrastructure is increasingly constrained by basic physics: power delivery and heat removal. Vendors that can pack more computing into less space — without tripping power and cooling limits — have a better shot at winning large data-center builds. Cooling has become a differentiator rather than a footnote. A design that reduces cabling and improves serviceability can

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 05:19 ET — Premarket Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.

Amazon stock slips today in premarket as Brookfield cloud push keeps AI spending under scrutiny

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 05:23 ET — Premarket Amazon.com shares slipped 0.7% in premarket trading on Friday, the first U.S. trading day of 2026 after markets were shut for the New Year holiday. The stock was at $230.82, versus its last close of $232.51. The early dip matters because Amazon sits at the center of two themes investors have leaned on — cloud computing and artificial intelligence — while they also scrutinize how much cash the industry is pouring into data centers. That focus sharpened after The Information reported Brookfield is launching a cloud business, Radiant, to lease chips

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 04:05 ET — Premarket Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited’s U.S.-listed shares were set to stay in focus in premarket trading on Friday after the chipmaker said it had secured a U.S. licence covering imports of American chipmaking equipment for its China operations. The stock last closed up 1.4% at $303.89. Reuters The approval lands as investors track how U.S. export controls are reshaping supply chains for chipmakers with China exposure. For TSMC, it removes a near-term operational question around tools for its Nanjing facility after prior exemptions expired at year-end. Reuters Chip stocks are also

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 02:51 ET — Market closed.

Nasdaq+1 Why it matters now: investors are treating China-linked chip demand as a near-term swing factor for Nvidia’s sales outlook and for global supply tightness in AI hardware, where the company remains the bellwether.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 18:36 ET — Market closed. Salesforce, Inc. shares edged lower in the last trading session before the New Year’s Day holiday, as Chief Executive Marc Benioff drew attention online by inviting YouTube star MrBeast to create the company’s 2026 Super Bowl commercial. “Very seriously, Jimmy you should really do our Salesforce Super Bowl commercial for 2026!” Benioff wrote.

Rigetti (RGTI) stock dips into 2026 as quantum names cool — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 5:33 PM ET — Market closed. Rigetti Computing shares fell 1.2% on Wednesday, the final trading day of 2025, closing at $22.15. The stock was last up about 0.6% in after-hours trading at $22.28, market data showed, as U.S. exchanges stayed closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day. MarketWatch The move matters because Rigetti has become a bellwether for “pure-play” quantum computing stocks — smaller companies whose main business is quantum hardware and services — where liquidity can be thin and sentiment can flip quickly around year-end.

KLA stock today: KLAC ends 2025 with a slide as chip-tool names cool; earnings next in focus

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:29 ET — Market closed Shares of KLA Corp fell 2.3% to $1,215.08 at Wednesday’s close, outpacing declines in chip-tool peers Applied Materials, down 1.1%, and Lam Research, down 1.5%. The pullback matters because KLA is a bellwether for semiconductor manufacturing spending, selling process-control tools that help chipmakers spot defects and improve yields — the percentage of usable chips produced. Investors have leaned heavily into chip-linked names on the back of AI-driven demand, and the sector is now heading into the first major checkpoint of 2026: guidance for the next leg of capital spending.
