New York, Jan 15, 2026, 14:09 EST — Regular session Shares of Qualcomm (QCOM.O) slipped $2.65, or 1.6%, to $161.89 in afternoon trading Thursday, after an earlier range between $167.30 and $161.05.

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 12:50 EST — Regular session CrowdStrike Holdings Inc (CRWD.O) shares rose on Thursday after a U.S. judge dismissed a shareholder fraud lawsuit tied to the company’s July 2024 software outage. The stock was up 1.2% at $466.07 in midday trading, after closing at $460.70 in the prior session. (Investing.com) The ruling trims a legal overhang that has sat on the stock since the outage, when investors were already jittery about software quality controls at one of the market’s highest-profile cybersecurity vendors. It also lands in the middle of a broader debate about whether security budgets

Shopify stock ticks higher after Toronto tech rout as AI-shopping push stays in view

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 12:45 PM ET — Regular session Shares of Shopify Inc climbed roughly 0.8% to $158.7 on Thursday, bucking a volatile market following a selloff in Canadian tech stocks the day before. This matters because Shopify now acts as a high-beta barometer for risk appetite in software and online retail. When investors pull back from growth due to geopolitics or interest rates, the stock usually reacts quickly. Wall Street found some footing Thursday, with tech and major indexes edging higher despite new U.S. data muddying the outlook for near-term rate cuts. (Reuters) On Wednesday in Canada,

Grab stock slides as Indonesia weighs halving ride-hailing commissions, with earnings date looming

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 10:46 EST — Regular session Shares of Grab Holdings Ltd dropped 3.5% to $4.47 Thursday morning, as investors factored in new regulatory concerns in Indonesia ahead of the upcoming earnings report. A draft presidential decree under review in Indonesia aims to slash the commission caps that ride-hailing platforms take from drivers, cutting it to 10% from the current 20%. The proposal also pushes companies to cover more insurance and social-benefit expenses, Reuters reported Wednesday. “Motorcycle taxi drivers have become an increasingly visible political force,” noted Siwage Dharma Negara, a senior fellow at Singapore’s ISEAS-Yusof Ishak

Applied Materials stock jumps today as TSMC lifts 2026 capex and Barclays upgrades AMAT

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 11:55 (ET) — Regular session underway. Applied Materials (AMAT.O) jumped 7.8% to $325.41 in late-morning trading Thursday, riding a wave of gains among chip equipment stocks following encouraging factory spending data. Lam Research gained 5.9%, KLA surged 9.0%, and U.S.-listed shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing rose 6.9%. TSMC’s announcement to boost 2026 capital spending to $52 billion-$56 billion sparked the move, well above analysts’ $46 billion forecast, according to a Visible Alpha poll. “The market has underestimated again how large is the demand for AI, and the implementation is going faster than everybody expected,” said

ServiceNow stock slides again as Oppenheimer trims target and a security flaw stays in focus

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 11:32 ET — Regular session ServiceNow shares dropped Thursday following a price target cut from Oppenheimer, adding to the pressure on the workflow software company’s stock, which has struggled to hold steady this month. Shares slipped 1.4% to $132.68 by late morning, after dipping as low as $132.46 earlier. Oppenheimer’s Brian Schwartz cut his price target from $230 to $200 but maintained an Outperform rating, indicating he still expects the stock to outpace its peers despite the downgrade.

CoreWeave stock jumps as CEO swats down Nvidia “circular financing” talk

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 11:30 ET — Regular session Shares of CoreWeave (CRWV) jumped roughly 10% to $98.72 in late morning trading Thursday, fueled by a fresh wave of interest in AI-related stocks. The move came after CEO Michael Intrator addressed concerns about the company’s funding approach, pushing back on investor questions. This move is significant since CoreWeave now serves as a high-beta proxy for the “AI infrastructure” trade — essentially a wager that demand for computing power remains strong enough to support fast expansion, substantial borrowing, and the occasional rough quarter. The news arrived amid a broader lift

TSMC sparks chip-stock surge as Wall Street rebounds on bank earnings

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 10:57 EST Wall Street’s main indexes bounced back Thursday following two straight days of losses, buoyed by a chip rally fueled by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co’s positive outlook and fresh U.S. financial results.

Intel stock hits $49.78 52-week high as KeyBanc flags “sold out” AI server chips

New York, January 15, 2026, 10:59 EST Intel’s stock climbed to a 52-week peak of $49.78 on Thursday, pushing the chipmaker deeper into the spotlight of the AI sector. https://in.investing.com/news/company-news/intel-stock-hits-52week-high-at-4978-93CH-5190140 This shift is crucial now since the AI expansion isn’t only about flashy accelerators. Data centers still rely heavily on central processing units (CPUs) and memory, where limited supply can push prices across the entire stack. This week, KeyBanc Capital Markets raised its ratings on Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, citing a surge in demand for server chips used in AI-driven data centers that’s outpacing supply. The firm’s “overweight” rating

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 11:00 EST — Regular session Intuit shares slipped roughly 0.6% to $563.20 Thursday morning, following a sharp nearly 6% plunge Wednesday—their largest single-day percentage drop since April 2025.
