Lam Research stock jumps 8% to start 2026 as chip-tool shares rally — what LRCX investors watch next

Lam Research stock jumps 8% to start 2026 as chip-tool shares rally — what LRCX investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 10:49 ET — Market closed Lam Research Corp shares closed up 8.1% on Friday at $185.06, finishing the first session of 2026 with one of the strongest large-cap moves in semiconductor equipment. The jump matters now because investors are repricing the 2026 outlook for chipmaking tools just as Washington’s China policy keeps shifting. Equipment demand can change quickly when trade rules change how easily tools move across borders. Lam sells wafer fabrication equipment — the machines that etch and deposit materials on silicon wafers to make chips. Orders for those tools typically follow customers’ capital-spending

AppLovin stock today: APP’s 8% drop extends a seven-day slide — what Wall Street watches next

AppLovin stock today: APP’s 8% drop extends a seven-day slide — what Wall Street watches next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 10:00 ET — Market closed AppLovin Corp shares fell 8.2% in Friday’s regular session, closing at $618.32 after touching $611.06 at the low, market data showed. The decline was the Nasdaq-listed company’s first move of 2026 after the New Year holiday and left the stock down about 16% from its Dec. 22 closing record. The drop matters because AppLovin entered the new year as one of the market’s biggest momentum names after a sharp 2025 run-up, leaving little margin for disappointment. Barron’s said the stock had risen 108% in 2025 and was the S&P 500’s

Applied Digital (APLD) stock jumps 14.6% ahead of Jan. 7 earnings as ChronoScale plan stays in focus

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 07:36 ET — Market closed Shares of Applied Digital Corp (APLD.O) closed up 14.6% at $28.11 on Friday, as traders leaned back into AI-linked infrastructure names on the first trading day of 2026. The stock ranged from $24.65 to $28.44, with about 36.1 million shares changing hands. The move comes days before the Dallas, Texas-based company is due to report fiscal second-quarter results after the closing bell on Jan. 7. Analysts tracked by Benzinga expect a loss of 22 cents per share on revenue of $82.22 million, and recent notes from Northland Capital Markets’ Mike

Palantir stock drops to start 2026 as insider sale notice hits — what to watch next

Palantir stock drops to start 2026 as insider sale notice hits — what to watch next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 06:35 ET — Market closed Palantir Technologies Inc. shares fell 5.6% on Friday, Jan. 2, to $167.86, marking a weak start to 2026 for the data-analytics software maker. The stock swung between $182.93 and $166.38 in the session, with about 60.6 million shares changing hands. The move matters now because Palantir has become a high-beta proxy for investor appetite for “AI” trades — and those trades can unwind fast when the market shifts its focus from growth stories to valuations and rates. The drop also put fresh emphasis on near-term positioning. When a stock finishes

Intel stock jumps 6.7% to start 2026 as chip rally returns — what Wall Street is watching next

Intel stock jumps 6.7% to start 2026 as chip rally returns — what Wall Street is watching next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 06:13 ET — Market closed Intel Corporation (INTC) shares ended Friday up $2.48, or 6.7%, at $39.38, after semiconductor stocks paced gains in Wall Street’s first session of 2026. U.S. markets are closed on Saturday. The move matters because semiconductors tend to set the tone for growth stocks at the start of a new year, when investors rebalance portfolios and reset risk. Big swings in chip names can quickly bleed into broader tech sentiment. At Friday’s close, Intel was about 11% below its 52-week high of $44.02, and well above its 52-week low of $17.67,

Micron stock jumps 10% after Bernstein lifts target — what’s next for MU

Micron stock jumps 10% after Bernstein lifts target — what’s next for MU

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 04:50 ET — Market closed Micron Technology, Inc. shares ended Friday up 10.5% at $315.42, outperforming the broader chip group as Wall Street opened 2026 with a rotation back into semiconductors. The move matters because Micron sits close to the center of the supply-and-demand fight in memory chips, where price swings can quickly reshape profits. Investors have been leaning into the view that artificial intelligence-driven data-center buildouts will keep demand firm while supply remains tight. It also lands as traders head into a data-heavy January, with interest-rate expectations still doing a lot of the steering

Why AppLovin stock plunged to start 2026 — and what APP investors are watching next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 04:31 ET — Market closed AppLovin Corp (APP.O) shares slid 8.2% to end Friday at $618.32, after swinging between $688.36 and $611.06 in the first U.S. session of 2026. The selloff matters now because AppLovin has become a momentum trade — a stock investors piled into because it kept rising — and those positions tend to unwind quickly when the calendar turns and money managers rebalance. A sharp break can also draw in rules-based selling tied to price trends, magnifying day-to-day moves. The decline extended APP’s losing streak to seven sessions from an all-time closing

Palantir stock slides 5.6% to start 2026 as traders reassess pricey AI plays

Palantir stock slides 5.6% to start 2026 as traders reassess pricey AI plays

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 03:48 ET — Market closed Palantir Technologies Inc (PLTR) shares fell about 5.6% on Friday, the first U.S. trading day of 2026, and last traded at $167.86. The stock ranged from $166.38 to $182.93 on volume of about 60.6 million shares. The drop matters because investors are starting the year by stress-testing the AI trade, separating infrastructure winners from software names that have rallied hard. Palantir has become a popular proxy for that debate. Early-year positioning can exaggerate moves, especially in high-growth stocks. When traders reduce risk, they often sell the names that ran the

Cisco stock today: CSCO slips on ex-dividend day as Wall Street braces for jobs data

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 21:07 ET — Market closed Cisco Systems, Inc. shares fell on Friday, ending the first trading day of 2026 down about 1.3% at $76.04. The move matters now because investors are heading into the first full trading week of the year with a heavy slate of U.S. economic data and the start of quarterly earnings season. Those catalysts can reset interest-rate expectations and risk appetite, which often ripple through large-cap tech. Reuters Cisco also traded ex-dividend on Friday — the date when new buyers no longer qualify for the next dividend payment. Nasdaq U.S. stocks

MongoDB (MDB) stock drops nearly 5% to start 2026 — here’s what investors are watching next

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 20:46 ET — Market closed MongoDB, Inc. (MDB) shares closed down 4.8% at $399.65 on Friday, deepening a pullback across software stocks as investors trimmed risk on the first trading day of 2026. The decline matters because MongoDB has been one of the stronger large-cap software names in recent months, a setup that can magnify moves when sentiment turns. High-growth software stocks often trade on expectations for future cash flows, which can make them more sensitive than the broader market to shifts in risk appetite. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF fell 2.9% on the

ServiceNow stock slides again as 2026 starts — why NOW shares lagged and what traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 19:15 ET — After-hours ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW) shares fell 3.75% on Friday to close at $147.45, underperforming a broader market that finished mostly higher in the first session of 2026. MarketWatch The drop matters because investors began the year rotating into areas of the market showing the strongest momentum, with chip stocks rallying while several big tech names and some software shares struggled for traction. Reuters Joe Mazzola, head of trading and derivatives strategy at Charles Schwab, said investors “might be a little bit more conscious about some of the valuations that they’re paying for
