Applied Digital (APLD) stock jumps after revenue beat as AI data-center leases pile up

New York, January 7, 2026, 18:01 ET — After-hours Applied Digital shares rose about 7% in after-hours trading on Wednesday after the data center operator posted quarterly revenue that beat Wall Street estimates, helped by demand for capacity used to train and run AI models. The company reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of $126.6 million for the period ended Nov. 30, versus analysts’ estimate of $88 million, according to LSEG data. Reuters The report lands as investors try to sort durable AI infrastructure spending from short bursts of capital spending that can fade when budgets tighten. Smaller builders still have to

Goldman Sachs stock falls after Apple Card handoff report — here’s what investors watch next

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 17:18 EST — After-hours Goldman Sachs shares fell 1.7% to $941.02 in after-hours trading on Wednesday after the Wall Street Journal reported JPMorgan Chase had reached a deal to take over Apple’s credit-card program from the Wall Street bank.

Broadcom stock barely budges after hours as AVGO prices $4.5 billion bond deal

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 16:38 EST — After-hours Broadcom shares were little changed after the close on Wednesday, last down about 0.1% at $343.50. The chipmaker’s latest move is on the balance sheet: it has now put firm price tags on a four-part bond sale, tapping long-dated funding as investors keep one eye on rates and one on big-ticket tech spending. The broader tape stayed jumpy. The S&P 500 ended lower while the Nasdaq finished higher, helped by AI-linked mega-caps, Reuters reported. “Rumors that the AI trade was done turned out not to be true,” said Jake Dollarhide, chief

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 16:44 (ET) — After-hours Sandisk Corp shares were last up 1.2% at $353.56 in after-hours trading on Wednesday.

Alphabet’s GOOG stock overtakes Apple in market value — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 16:28 EST — After-hours Alphabet’s non-voting Class C shares climbed on Wednesday, lifting the Google parent above Apple in market value for the first time since 2019. https://www.barrons.com/articles/alphabet-stock-apple-market-cap-625151cc The shift matters because it shows where the money is hiding right now: investors are still willing to pay up for companies tied to artificial intelligence, even as the broader tape turns choppy. It also puts Alphabet back in the same conversation as Nvidia at the top end of U.S. equity valuations. Alphabet’s Class C stock (GOOG) was up about 2.5% at $322.46 after the bell. Apple

Micron Technology stock slips as UBS, Piper lift MU price target to $400 and New York megafab date is set

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 16:15 (EST) — After-hours Micron Technology Inc shares were down about 1.2% at $339.45 on Wednesday after trading between $335.10 and $346.24, even as Wall Street pushed price targets higher and the company set a date to break ground on a planned New York factory. The pullback comes as investors crowd into memory and storage names tied to artificial-intelligence spending, where servers need more DRAM — the working memory in computers — and high-bandwidth memory (HBM), a stacked chip used to feed AI processors. Sandisk shares surged 27.6% on Tuesday after Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 15:29 EST — Regular session CoreWeave shares were down about 0.6% at $77.51 in afternoon trading on Wednesday after swinging between $75.77 and $79.92.

New York, January 7, 2026, 15:29 EST — Regular session Intel shares jumped 6.3% to $42.56 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, outpacing a slide in chip ETFs, as investors leaned into the company’s CES pitch that its new 18A manufacturing push is ready for prime time.

The Financial Times said the review could hinge on whether the transaction required an export license under Chinese law; Meta and Manus did not respond to requests for comment.
