Nvidia stock rises as Jensen Huang’s CES keynote nears, with Foxconn AI demand in focus

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 09:32 ET — Regular session Nvidia (NVDA.O) shares rose about 1.2% to $188.85 in early trading on Monday, as chip stocks steadied and investors positioned ahead of CEO Jensen Huang’s scheduled CES appearance later in the day. The timing matters because CES is one of the first big stages of the year for the semiconductor sector, and investors have been quick to reprice Nvidia on any new signal about artificial-intelligence infrastructure spending. Huang is due to headline an Nvidia press conference at CES in Las Vegas on Monday afternoon. CES CES this year is expected

Uber stock gets a sell call as robotaxi race heats up in 2026

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 08:22 ET Uber Technologies shares were up about 1.4% in premarket trading on Monday.

Super Micro (SMCI) heads into 2026 with analysts on edge — margins are the fight

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 07:19 ET Super Micro Computer (SMCI) shares were up about 6% in premarket trading on Monday, but analysts remained cautious on the server maker’s ability to protect margins as competition intensifies in AI hardware. The company sits in the middle of a global buildout of data centers for artificial intelligence, where customers are ordering dense, power-hungry systems that require complex supply chains and new cooling designs. That makes Super Micro a bellwether for whether the AI infrastructure boom can translate into durable profits, not just fast revenue growth. Wall Street is watching closely after a

NEW YORK, January 5, 2026, 07:07 ET — Premarket BitMine Immersion Technologies’ shares rose about 4% in U.S. pre-market trading on Monday as investors looked ahead to a shareholder vote that could widen the company’s financing options.

It goes to how freely the company can raise money and manage its share price as it pushes a crypto-treasury strategy centered on ethereum. Traders have tended to treat BMNR as a high-beta proxy for crypto sentiment,

Palantir vs Oracle: Wall Street’s AI stock split — and 3 alternatives investors are watching in 2026

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 06:50 ET Wall Street analysts are largely neutral on Palantir Technologies (PLTR) and see more upside in Oracle (ORCL) as investors enter 2026 still sorting winners from the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, a Motley Fool analysis published on Sunday showed. The Motley Fool That matters now because last year’s run-up in AI-linked shares left little room for disappointment. Investors are increasingly splitting between companies selling AI software and those building the infrastructure — data centres, cloud capacity and chips — that make the technology run. Cost pressures are also creeping into the conversation as companies

Micron stock rises in premarket as AI-era memory pricing stays in focus — what MU investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 05:59 ET — Premarket Micron Technology (MU.O) shares rose about 3% in premarket trading on Monday, adding to a powerful run that saw the stock jump 10.5% on Friday’s close. Shares were indicated at $325.37 after ending Friday at $315.42. The Wall Street Journal The move matters because Micron’s fortunes swing with memory prices, and investors are betting this cycle has shifted in its favor.
