Snowflake stock slips again after Barclays downgrade as traders look to Thursday data and next earnings

Snowflake stock slips again after Barclays downgrade as traders look to Thursday data and next earnings

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 21:29 EST — Market closed Snowflake Inc. shares fell 1.5% to close at $206.16 on Wednesday, adding to declines from a steep drop earlier this week. This matters now because Snowflake, a high-growth software company, tends to see its stock swing wildly on even minor changes in forecasts. Investors are on edge, gearing up for a packed schedule of earnings reports and new U.S. economic data. (Reuters) Barclays played a major role in the recent pullback. The bank downgraded Snowflake from overweight to equal weight and slashed its price target to $250 from $290. It

Lumentum stock sinks 8% after tech-led slide — what traders watch next

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 19:29 EST — After-hours Lumentum Holdings’ stock plunged 8.2% on Wednesday, closing at $331.62 before nudging higher to around $332 in after-hours trading. (MarketWatch) This move is significant as Lumentum has ranked among the most crowded “AI infrastructure” plays. Yet the tape has turned against pricey winners. With earnings season kicking off, investors are faster to slash risk amid broader market jitters. No fresh company news explained the slide. Traders are left to sift through the selloff in tech, a stock that surged into January, and an upcoming earnings report that might either steady things

Applied Materials stock slips after RBC starts coverage at Outperform; what to watch for AMAT next

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 18:43 EST — After-hours RBC Capital Markets kicked off coverage of Applied Materials (AMAT.O) on Wednesday, assigning an Outperform rating and setting a $385 price target. The firm highlighted a stronger outlook for chipmaking-tool demand. After hours, Applied Materials shares dipped roughly 1% to $301.89. (Investing.com) The timing is key as investors shift back into semiconductor capital equipment stocks, betting that spending is expanding beyond the current AI chip bottlenecks. What comes next will hinge less on headlines and more on actual order books — covering memory, logic, and advanced packaging. China remains a tough

Arista Networks stock slides 4% as tech selloff bites; ANET traders eye next catalyst

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 15:26 ET — Regular session. Arista Networks shares dropped roughly 4% to $124.68 in afternoon trading Wednesday, underperforming the wider tech sell-off. The Nasdaq 100 index fell around 1.4%, and Cisco Systems slid about 2%. The selloff is significant since Arista is seen as a key barometer for data-center network spending linked to AI expansions. The stock has been volatile, tracking changes in investor risk appetite. It bounced 5.27% on Tuesday, despite a broadly downbeat market session. (MarketWatch) Investor’s Business Daily reported Wednesday that Arista’s Relative Strength rating climbed to 78 from 64, measuring its

Reddit stock slips as insider sales surface, even after Evercore starts RDDT with $320 target

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 15:16 EST — Regular session Reddit shares dropped roughly 2.5% on Wednesday, erasing some earlier gains following regulatory filings revealing stock sales by two senior executives. The stock traded near $252.52, after fluctuating between $246.85 and $259.62. The disclosures come at a hectic time for the newly public social media firm, with daily trading sharply reactive to any news related to monetisation—whether ads, new formats, or the worth of its data for AI. Evercore ISI kicked off coverage this week with a bullish stance, saying Reddit has ample opportunity to convert its engagement into revenue.

Constellation Software stock tumbles to new 52-week low as investors question acquisition-led growth

Constellation Software stock tumbles to new 52-week low as investors question acquisition-led growth

Toronto, Jan 14, 2026, 14:48 EST Shares of Constellation Software dropped 6.3% to C$3,008.19 by 2:45 p.m. EST Wednesday, having earlier touched a fresh 52-week low of C$3,001.11 in Toronto, according to market data. https://www.investing.com/equities/constellation-software-inc The decline puts the TSX heavyweight roughly 43% under its 52-week peak, yet it still carries a hefty valuation for a firm defined by frequent acquisitions. Constellation’s market cap stood near C$68 billion. https://stockanalysis.com/quote/tsx/CSU/ The drop is significant since Constellation ranks among Canada’s most closely watched “buy-and-build” software companies. Its moves often dictate investor appetite for acquisition-driven growth. Early Wednesday, a Motley Fool column flagged

KLA stock slips despite fresh Wall Street upgrades — here’s what’s driving KLAC now

New York, January 14, 2026, 13:36 EST — Regular session KLA Corp shares dipped Wednesday despite a string of positive analyst notes, as investors stepped away from semiconductor equipment stocks during a weaker session. The stock fell 1.7% to $1,417.18 in early afternoon trading. Timing is key. KLA has turned into a popular pick for those betting on increased spending in advanced chips, where inspection and measurement gear grow in importance as designs shrink and defects become pricier. The pullback mirrored weakness across the broader market, as investors digested bank earnings alongside new policy jitters. “Banks have had a very

Snowflake stock slides again after Barclays downgrade; traders eye next earnings date

New York, January 14, 2026, 12:54 PM EST — Regular session Snowflake Inc (SNOW) shares slipped 1.4%, reaching $206.52 by midday Wednesday, deepening a slide triggered by a broker downgrade earlier this week. Risk appetite waned across U.S. stocks, dragging the tech-focused Invesco QQQ Trust down around 1.6%, while the S&P 500 ETF slipped about 1%. Shares of data and monitoring software firms Datadog and MongoDB also fell. Tuesday’s sell-off hit Snowflake hard, with shares falling roughly 5.1%, following a downgrade from Barclays. The stock saw heavier-than-usual trading volume, MarketBeat data shows. (MarketBeat) Barclays downgraded Snowflake from “Overweight” to “Equal

Applied Materials stock drops despite Stifel’s $340 target hike — what AMAT investors watch next

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 11:55 ET — Regular session Applied Materials (AMAT.O) slipped 1.8%, hitting $299.25 by midday Wednesday, despite Stifel lifting its price target from $250 to $340. Stifel analyst Brian Chin cited “bullish” field checks in recent weeks and now projects wafer fab equipment (WFE) spending to rise 10%-15% in calendar 2026. (TipRanks) The stock slid along with the sector following a sharp rally that had turned Applied into a favored proxy for the next wave of chipmaking investment. This is significant now as analysts boost their 2026 spending forecasts while the stock hits fresh highs. The

Oracle stock slides 4% today despite UK Defence cloud pact; KeyBanc flags ORCL as “undervalued”

Oracle stock slides 4% today despite UK Defence cloud pact; KeyBanc flags ORCL as “undervalued”

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 11:05 EST — Regular session underway. Oracle shares dropped roughly 4% on Wednesday, despite the company announcing a new cloud deal with Britain’s Ministry of Defence and a positive analyst note aiming to support the stock. The shares slipped 4.1% to $194.09, following a close of $202.29 on Tuesday. This move is significant because Oracle’s stock has been behaving more like a vote on major cloud investments than just a steady database play. Shares dropped last month after the company missed its quarterly forecasts and warned of much higher spending, raising fresh questions about the

Sandisk stock (SNDK) in play as Bernstein lifts target to $580 and retail money crowds in

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 10:53 EST — Regular session Shares of Sandisk Corp edged up 0.5% to $391.76 on Wednesday, bouncing between $380 and $401.08 earlier in the day. The move came after Bernstein analyst Mark Newman nearly doubled his price target, adding momentum to a rally already fueled by a surge of retail interest in memory stocks. (TipRanks) This shift is crucial since Sandisk has turned into a quick, liquid play on the storage crunch brewing in AI data centers. With heavy positioning, even a bullish note or a strong flow print can shake the stock sharply. Retail
