NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 18:14 ET — After-hours Adobe stock (NASDAQ: ADBE) fell 4.8% on Friday and last traded at $333.30 in after-hours trading, which takes place electronically after the 4 p.m. close in New York. The shares opened at $349.86 and traded as low as $331.67. The drop left Adobe among notable laggards in big tech even as the Dow and S&P 500 ended higher on the first trading day of 2026, while the Nasdaq was little changed. “Investors might be a little bit more conscious about some of the valuations that they’re paying for some of the

Sandisk (SNDK) stock jumps 16% after-hours as board adds First Solar CFO and chip rally kicks off 2026

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 17:40 ET — After-hours Shares of Sandisk Corp rose about 16% to $275.24 in after-hours trading on Friday, after the first regular U.S. session of 2026.

The Philadelphia semiconductor index ended up 4% on Friday, according to Reuters. Reuters Sandisk also announced after the close that it appointed Alexander R. Bradley, chief financial officer of

Broadcom stock today: AVGO holds gains after hours as CFO sale notice and chip rally grab attention

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 17:03 ET — After-hours Broadcom Inc. shares rose 0.4% to $347.62 on Friday and were little changed in after-hours trading, after swinging between $345.61 and $360.56. About 24.8 million shares changed hands, according to market data. The stock held steady late in the day as investors digested a disclosure pointing to a potential share sale by Broadcom’s finance chief, and as chip stocks rebounded to start 2026. That matters now because Broadcom sits at the center of the market’s “AI infrastructure” trade — the semiconductor and networking plumbing that supports large-scale data centers — while

The stock traded between $643.58 and $666.10 during the regular session. After-hours trading runs after the 4 p.m. close and can move faster on lighter volume.

Apple stock slips as Raymond James turns cautious; Vision Pro pullback report hits AAPL

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 16:31 ET — After-hours Apple Inc shares slipped on Friday after a brokerage note flagged a stretched valuation and a report said the company has pulled back on Vision Pro production. The stock closed down 0.31% at $271.01 and was little changed in after-hours trading, which takes place after the 4 p.m. close. Investing The move matters as investors head into 2026 looking for the next leg of growth beyond iPhone upgrades and services momentum.

Micron stock jumps 10% as Bernstein hikes MU target to $330 — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 16:15 ET — After-hours Micron Technology Inc shares closed up 10.4% at $315.23 on Friday after a Bernstein note lifted sentiment on memory pricing, extending a semiconductor rally to start 2026. The stock touched $315.37 and gained $29.82 from Thursday’s close, market data showed. StockAnalysis The call matters because Micron’s earnings are highly sensitive to memory pricing — small shifts in contract prices can swing margins. Investors have been hunting for new signposts on whether AI-driven demand is keeping the supply squeeze intact as 2026 begins. High-bandwidth memory, or HBM, is a premium stacked memory

Palantir stock drops nearly 6% to start 2026 as yields rise and chips rally

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 16:09 ET — After-hours Palantir Technologies Inc. shares fell 5.7% on Friday to close at $167.59, giving back early gains as the first trading day of 2026 turned choppy for growth stocks. The move matters because Palantir was one of last year’s standout AI-linked winners, leaving the stock more sensitive to shifts in risk appetite and interest-rate expectations than the broader market. Friday’s drop also underscored how quickly money can rotate at the start of a new year, with investors moving toward areas tied to AI infrastructure — notably chipmakers — while some high-multiple software

Nvidia stock rises as chipmakers rally into 2026; NVDA traders eye CES and earnings

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 16:06 ET — After-hours NVIDIA Corp shares rose $2.00, or about 1.1%, to $188.50 in late trade on Friday, extending a semiconductor-led lift in the first trading session of 2026. The move mattered because chipmakers helped offset broader market churn, with the Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index up about 3.5% in afternoon trading. Reuters For investors, Nvidia’s direction is a quick read on whether the “AI infrastructure” trade is regaining traction after a choppy year-end. That trade centers on spending for servers, networking and power gear that run artificial intelligence workloads. Reuters Peers also advanced. AMD

Motorola Solutions (MSI) stock falls late Friday as investors start 2026 on edge

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 15:49 ET — Regular session Motorola Solutions Inc (MSI) shares fell about 0.7% to $380.68 on Friday afternoon, after swinging between $384.69 and $380.00 earlier in the session. The move came as U.S. stocks seesawed on the first trading day of 2026, with Treasury yields higher and investors watching for the return of key economic data after a recent federal government shutdown delayed some releases, Reuters reported. Reuters Strategists have also flagged valuation risk after last year’s run-up. “Stocks trade expensive on 18 of 20 measures,” Savita Subramanian, Bank of America’s equity and quant strategist,

SailPoint stock sinks 6% today: what’s driving SAIL and what to watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 15:10 ET — Regular session Shares of SailPoint, Inc. fell about 6.5% on Friday, giving the identity security software maker one of the sharpest declines among mid-cap cybersecurity stocks. The drop matters because investors are opening the new year reassessing risk after 2025’s strong run, with attention shifting back to valuations and the interest-rate outlook that tends to drive high-growth software. Reuters “Stocks trade expensive on 18 of 20 measures,” said Savita Subramanian, Bank of America’s equity and quant strategist, in a note, as investors looked ahead to next week’s labor-market data for clues on

Nebius stock jumps about 7% as chips rally in first U.S. session of 2026 (NBIS)

Nebius stock jumps about 7% as chips rally in first U.S. session of 2026 (NBIS)

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 15:09 ET — Regular session Shares of Nebius Group N.V. were up 7.4% at $89.91 on Friday afternoon, extending a rebound in AI infrastructure-linked stocks as chip names led the market. The move matters because Nebius is widely seen as a high-beta proxy for demand for graphics processing units, or GPUs — chips used to train and run artificial intelligence models. When investors lean into AI hardware, smaller infrastructure suppliers often swing harder. Friday was the first full U.S. trading session of 2026, with traders recalibrating risk after last year’s gains and turning to early-year

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 15:04 ET — Regular session Palo Alto Networks, Inc. shares fell about 2.9% to $178.87 in afternoon trading on Friday. The stock opened at $184.81 and swung between $186.99 and $177.23; about 4.1 million shares had traded. The move matters because investors are using the first trading day of the year to reset risk positions, and high-growth software has been sensitive to shifts in interest-rate expectations. A heavy U.S. data calendar next week could move bond yields and reshape valuations quickly. The weakness was broad across cybersecurity: CrowdStrike was down about 3.5%, Zscaler fell about
