Lam Research stock slips below $200 as chip gear makers slide; jobs report looms

Lam Research stock slips below $200 as chip gear makers slide; jobs report looms

New York, January 8, 2026, 11:27 EST — Regular session Lam Research shares fell 2.2% to $198.62 on Thursday, tracking a broader drop in semiconductor names. The stock touched $195.14 at its low so far. Lam, a major supplier of chipmaking tools, tends to swing with expectations for factory spending and the pace of upgrades at big chipmakers. That matters now because rate-sensitive tech has been jittery, and investors are trying to pin down whether early-year momentum can hold into earnings season. Applied Materials slid about 4.0%, KLA fell roughly 2.7% and ASML’s U.S.-listed shares dropped about 3.9%, while the

Kratos Defense The Marine Corps program sits inside a wider U.S. push for “collaborative combat aircraft,” or CCA — drones meant to fly with piloted fighters, adding capacity without putting more people in cockpits. For smaller suppliers, landing a spot

The move pushed the shares as high as $41.60 after they opened at $39.09.

JPMorgan stock climbs on Apple Card takeover as earnings near

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 11:13 AM ET — Regular session JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM) shares rose about 1.1% to $330.65 in late morning trading on Thursday after the bank said it will become the new issuer of Apple’s Apple Card, replacing Goldman Sachs. The deal is subject to regulatory approvals and is not expected to close for roughly two years. “This transaction substantially completes the narrowing of our focus in our consumer business,” Goldman Chief Executive David Solomon said. Reuters The agreement would bring more than $20 billion in card balances to Chase’s platform once completed, adding heft

Truist Securities initiated coverage with a buy rating and a $223 price target, calling the stock a “best-in-class AI asset” and pointing to demand for generative AI — software that can produce text and code — across governments and companies. The call lands as PLTR stock trades like a referendum on whether AI spending can stay hot and profitable at the same time. Truist framed its target as a 28.1%

Meta stock drops as China opens scrutiny of Manus AI deal

Meta stock drops as China opens scrutiny of Manus AI deal

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 09:56 EST — Regular session Meta Platforms shares fell on Thursday after China’s commerce ministry said it would assess and investigate the company’s acquisition of artificial intelligence startup Manus. Reuters The move matters because Meta has been leaning hard into AI — both for ads and new consumer products — and any new friction around data or technology transfer can turn a small deal into a bigger risk question for investors. China’s statement also lands at a touchy moment for U.S. tech, with markets quick to reprice policy and regulatory surprises. Meta stock was down

Mobileye stock falls as $900 million humanoid-robot deal meets a reality check

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 09:46 EST — Regular session Shares of Mobileye Global (MBLY.O) fell 3.4% to $11.82 in early trading on Thursday, giving back some recent gains as investors digested the company’s push into humanoid robotics and fresh disclosure on its latest annual revenue. The stock traded between $11.73 and $12.50 after closing at $12.24 on Wednesday. The dip matters now because Mobileye is trying to widen its story beyond driver-assistance chips just as investors start to game out 2026 spending.

Nokia Oyj stock slides in Helsinki as Kepler upgrade bounce fades ahead of Jan. 29 results

Helsinki, Jan 8, 2026, 16:49 EET — Regular session Nokia shares fell about 4% to 5.534 euros in Helsinki on Thursday, giving back some of the prior session’s rise after an analyst upgrade, while another broker kept a bearish view. The stock has traded between 5.534 and 5.844 euros on the day and remains below its 52-week high of 6.650 euros, according to Investing.com data.

Intel stock jumps in premarket as 18A ramp talk keeps the turnaround trade hot

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 08:58 EST — Premarket Intel (INTC.O) shares rose 6.4% to $42.63 in premarket trading on Thursday, after ending Wednesday at $40.06. Chip stocks were mixed, with Nvidia (NVDA.O) up about 1% while AMD (AMD.O) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing’s U.S. shares slid around 2%. The move matters because Intel’s comeback hinges on 18A, its next-generation chipmaking process. It is a step in the company’s push to rebuild its factory edge and expand “foundry” work — making chips for other firms, not just itself. Investors have started to treat Intel stock as a vote on whether that

Broadcom stock in focus: AVGO holds steady after $4.5 billion bond deal, key data ahead

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 07:44 EST — Premarket Broadcom shares were little changed in premarket trading on Thursday after the company priced a $4.5 billion bond offering and flagged plans to use the cash for general corporate purposes and debt repayment. The stock was down 0.1% at $343.50. The debt deal matters now because rate expectations have been jumpy, and long-dated borrowing costs feed straight into funding math for big issuers. Traders are also staring at a heavy U.S. data run: the monthly jobs report is due Friday, and the December consumer price index is scheduled for Jan. 13. Bureau
