Microsoft stock today: Goldman’s $655 target lands as MSFT edges higher in choppy trade

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:51 EST — Regular session underway. Microsoft Corp. shares ticked up about 0.2% to $480.15 in early trading Monday in New York, bucking the trend as broader U.S. stocks slipped. Goldman Sachs kicked off coverage on the software titan with a Buy rating and set a $655 price target, signaling nearly 37% potential upside from here. (TipRanks) The timing couldn’t be more awkward.

Tesla stock pops at the open as robotaxi “prove-it year” talk meets earnings countdown

Tesla stock pops at the open as robotaxi “prove-it year” talk meets earnings countdown

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:34 EST — Regular session Tesla (TSLA.O) shares rose 2.1% to $445.01 in early New York trading on Monday. The early move keeps the spotlight on a stock that trades as much on expectations for new businesses as on car sales. Investors are trying to map Tesla’s next catalysts onto a market that is quick to punish misses. That backdrop is noisy this week. Traders are looking to U.S. inflation data due Tuesday and the start of quarterly earnings season for big banks, both of which can jolt rate-sensitive growth names.

Intel stock slips after a target raise: why Wall Street still isn’t buying the rally

Intel stock slips after a target raise: why Wall Street still isn’t buying the rally

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:45 ET — Regular session Intel Corp shares slipped 1.8% to $44.73 Monday morning, pressured by cautious analyst commentary following last week’s surge in the chipmaker’s stock. The wider market showed weakness as well, with the SPDR S&P 500 ETF falling roughly 0.4% and the iShares Semiconductor ETF retreating about 0.7%. The dip is significant because Intel’s rally owes more to a long-term wager than to immediate earnings. Investors are banking on its manufacturing revival and U.S. political support to reshape outlooks for 2026 and later. Monday’s trading highlighted how swiftly that optimism can clash

Nvidia stock slips early as traders eye China chip demand, TSMC outlook and CPI

Nvidia stock slips early as traders eye China chip demand, TSMC outlook and CPI

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:34 EST — Regular session Nvidia (NVDA.O) shares dipped slightly in early Monday trading, falling around 0.1% to $184.86. The drop followed a slip in U.S. futures as investors remained wary of big-cap growth stocks. Timing is critical. This week packs a heavy slate of macro data and earnings reports, and traders have quickly sold off AI-related gains whenever bond yields spike or policy risks emerge. Wall Street futures dipped earlier after the White House renewed pressure on the Federal Reserve, raising fresh doubts about the Fed’s independence—a concern that often weighs on rate-sensitive tech

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:36 EST — Regular session Shares of Broadcom Inc surged 3.7% to $344.97 during early trading in New York on Monday, pushing further gains for the chipmaker. The shift happens as investors brace for Tuesday’s U.S. consumer price index report for December, set for 8:30 a.m. ET. That data has the power to rattle Treasury yields and ripple through high-growth tech stocks. (Bureau of Labor Statistics) Markets are grappling with new doubts over the Fed’s independence after Chair Jerome Powell revealed the Justice Department issued subpoenas warning of a possible criminal indictment linked to his

Walmart stock jumps on Google Gemini shopping plan, Wing drones and Nasdaq-100 spotlight

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 12:03 EST — Regular session Walmart shares jumped 3.4% to $118.47 in midday trading on Monday after the retailer outlined a new shopping tie-up with Google’s Gemini chatbot and traders positioned for its Nasdaq-100 debut. (MarketWatch) The announcements land at a touchy moment for retail stocks, when investors are trying to figure out whether price-conscious shoppers keep trading down or start spending again. Walmart’s pitch is simple: make buying faster, cheaper, and harder to mess up. They also put Walmart back in a tech race it didn’t start, but can’t ignore. Getting discovered inside an

Starlink in Iran: Trump to call Musk as blackout tightens grip

DUBAI, Jan 12, 2026, 16:51 (GST) U.S. President Donald Trump said he plans to speak with Elon Musk about bringing internet back to Iran via SpaceX’s Starlink satellite network. “He’s very good at that kind of thing, he’s got a very good company,” Trump told reporters. (Reuters) Since Thursday, Jan. 8, Iran has enforced a near-total internet blackout as protests over soaring prices escalated into demands for the clerical regime’s downfall. Tehran says it’s working with security forces to coordinate any restoration of service. Washington is considering its next steps but insists communication lines remain open through intermediaries.

HCLTech Q3 results are out: Revenue beats estimates, profit drops and FY26 guidance narrows

BENGALURU, Jan 12, 2026, 17:54 IST HCLTech reported a stronger-than-expected jump in third-quarter revenue on Monday, but a one-off expense linked to India’s new labour laws dragged profit below estimates.

Revenue climbed 13.3% to 338.72 billion rupees ($3.8 billion), while profit slipped 11.2% to 40.76 billion rupees, weighed down by a 9.56 billion-rupee charge, the firm said.

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 05:29 EST — Premarket Tempus AI, Inc. shares were up about 11% in premarket trading on Monday after the company flagged strong preliminary 2025 results and reported record contract value with drugmakers.

Oklo stock jumps again in premarket as Meta nuclear deal keeps OKLO in focus

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 04:54 EST — Premarket Shares of Oklo Inc jumped roughly 7.9%, reaching $105.31 in early premarket action on Monday. The rally extends last week’s momentum, driven by renewed Big Tech interest in reliable power—a trend funneling capital into nuclear and its supply chain. Oklo’s appeal isn’t current output but the prospect of a long-term contract and a quicker route to funding. Meta Platforms announced on Friday it has sealed 20-year deals to buy power from three Vistra nuclear plants and will collaborate with Oklo and TerraPower on small modular reactors (SMRs)—smaller, more easily replicated reactors

DroneShield stock (ASX:DRO) slides as JPMorgan pops up as 5% holder — what investors watch next

Sydney, Jan 12, 2026, 11:02 AEDT — Regular session Shares of DroneShield Ltd slipped on Monday after a filing revealed JPMorgan Chase & Co and its affiliates had taken a substantial stake in the counter-drone company.
