Nokia stock rises after Hisense patent deal ends litigation; investors watch next moves

Helsinki, January 9, 2026, 15:46 EET — Regular session Nokia Oyj shares climbed Friday after the Finnish telecom equipment maker signed a multi-year patent licence agreement with Hisense, ending all patent-related litigation between the two companies. The stock rose about 1.1% to 5.63 euros by 15:45 EET, still roughly 15% below its 52-week high of 6.65 euros. (Investing.com) The Hisense deal refocuses attention on Nokia’s licensing business, where royalties — fees paid for the right to use its patented tech — can throw off cash without leaning as much on carrier network spending. The timing is key, with investors hunting

Intel stock bounces premarket after Trump cites ‘great’ CEO meeting as earnings loom

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 07:49 EST — Premarket Intel shares climbed roughly 3% in premarket trade on Friday after President Donald Trump wrote in a social media post that he had a “great meeting” with the chipmaker’s chief executive, Lip-Bu Tan.

(reuters.com) Why it matters now: Intel’s stock has tended to move fast on Washington headlines since the U.S. government agreed last year to take a roughly 9.9% stake

Alibaba stock (BABA) slips premarket as Nvidia H200 approval talk swirls in China

NEW YORK, January 9, 2026, 05:16 (EST) — Premarket Alibaba Group Holding Ltd’s Hong Kong-listed shares jumped as much as 4.8% on Friday after Bloomberg reported China plans to approve some imports of Nvidia’s H200 artificial-intelligence chips as soon as this quarter.

Vertiv (VRT) stock drops 6% as Nvidia cooling remarks keep AI-infrastructure trade jumpy

New York, January 8, 2026, 21:23 (EST) — Market closed Vertiv Holdings Co shares fell 6.3% to end Thursday at $160.78 after touching a session low of $158.77. Yahoo Finance The move matters now as data-center infrastructure stocks turn skittish early in 2026, with investors trying to pin down whether new chip and cooling designs change what data centers buy — and when. Reratings have been sharp and fast across anything tied to the AI buildout. Vertiv, which sells power and thermal equipment used in data centers and networks, sits at the center of that argument. Changes in cooling can

Why Qualcomm stock moved: Volkswagen’s 2027 chip plan and Samsung 2nm talks

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 21:19 (EST) — Markets closed for the day. Trading ended with all major indexes settled. Qualcomm shares closed Thursday 0.9% higher at $181.87 after Volkswagen announced it had signed a letter of intent naming Qualcomm as the main technology supplier for its next software platform. The stock fluctuated between $176.51 and $184.29 during the session. Reuters The Volkswagen partnership gives a clearer timeline for Qualcomm’s automotive plans, but revenue is still years off. Investors want chipmakers to ensure steady demand outside of smartphones. Auto projects typically have longer lifecycles once set up. The move to

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 20:54 EST — Market closed Dell Technologies Inc (DELL.N) shares dropped 1.3% to $118.50 on Thursday. Earlier, they slipped as much as 4.4% before clawing back some ground. Trading volume hit around 11.5 million shares, while the stock’s low of $114.79 left the $115 mark under the microscope heading into Friday. The pullback came as investors wrestled with a skeptical view of the “AI PC” pitch from a top Dell exec at CES in Las Vegas. “AI probably confuses them more than it helps,” said Dell’s head of product, Kevin Terwilliger, noting that buyers aren’t

Yahoo Finance The drop came as investors stepped away from “AI-linked” memory and storage winners after a strong start to the year. SanDisk fell 5.4% and Western Digital dropped 6.1% as the broader Nasdaq slipped and the S&P 500’s tech index lagged. Reuters Macro nerves were in the mix.

Mastercard stock steady as Apple taps JPMorgan for Apple Card — and keeps MA as the network

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 19:42 EST — After-hours trading kicked off and was in progress.

Microsoft stock slips after Copilot Checkout push; MSFT earnings loom

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 18:11 EST — After-hours Microsoft Corp shares fell 1.1% in after-hours trading on Thursday to $478.11, after swinging between $475.87 and $482.98 in the regular session. The dip keeps Microsoft (MSFT) tied to a familiar trade: investors are still willing to pay for growth, but they want cleaner proof that spending on artificial intelligence can turn into revenue and cash, not just new features. That test is getting louder as Big Tech rolls out more “agentic” tools — software that can take steps for a user, not only answer questions — and as the bill

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 6:08 PM EST — After-hours Broadcom Inc (AVGO.O) shares were down 3.2% at $332.48 in after-hours trading on Thursday, extending a late-day slide in chip stocks. Nvidia (NVDA.O) fell about 2.1% and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.O) dropped 2.5%. The move matters because Broadcom sits near the center of the market’s AI trade — custom chips, networking gear and software that runs data centers. “AI is still hot, but it has become a ‘show me’ sector,” Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B.
