Salesforce (CRM) stock: Goldman starts with a Buy, Barclays lifts target — what to watch before Tuesday

New York, January 12, 2026, 20:14 EST — The market has closed. Salesforce, Inc. (CRM) shares dipped about 0.2% Monday, even as Goldman Sachs kicked off coverage with a Buy rating and a $330 price target. The stock wrapped at $259.40, after fluctuating between $255.81 and $261.55 during the session. Goldman’s price target implies roughly 27% upside from that close. (TipRanks) The call comes amid Wall Street’s scramble to figure out which software stocks will translate AI capabilities into actual paying customers in 2026.

Lockheed Martin stock steadies near highs after Jefferies lifts target — here’s what Wall Street watches next

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 19:24 EST — After-hours Lockheed Martin Corp shares gained 1.5% Monday, closing at $551.24. The defense giant remains close to a new 52-week peak following a series of policy-fueled moves in the sector. (Reuters) Why it matters now: traders face a dual challenge—gauging a White House capable of shifting the sector on a single headline, while also sizing up a company approaching earnings amid investors already favoring defense. Some are quick to adapt, others just buy the dips. The sector’s vulnerability was clear last week: Lockheed shares dropped roughly 7% late Wednesday after U.S. President

New York, January 12, 2026, 18:37 EST — After-hours Rocket Lab Corp (RKLB.O) shares rose 3.6% on Monday to close at $87.91 and were last down about 0.4% in after-hours trading by 6:18 p.m. ET, when extended-hours trading can be thin and jumpy. The stock swung between $83.49 and $88.81 in the session, with about 21.9 million shares traded, according to market data. (Investing.com) The move keeps Rocket Lab in the “space-defense” bucket for a lot of investors, not just the small-rocket trade.

Intel stock slips after $40 target hike — why Wall Street still won’t bite

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 17:13 EST — After-hours Intel (INTC.O) shares dropped 3.3% on Monday, then edged up roughly 0.1% in after-hours trading. Note that after-hours trading runs outside the regular 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET session. (MarketBeat) The pullback is significant because Intel’s stock is now trading above at least one of the price targets that have been bumped up during the rally. On Monday, Susquehanna lifted its target to $40 from $35 but kept a neutral rating. Analysts surveyed by FactSet show a mean target of $42.09 and maintain an average “Hold” rating, according to MarketScreener.

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 10:31 (EST) — Regular session Shares of Advanced Micro Devices were up 2.6% at $208.44 by 10:31 a.m. EST on Monday, even as the Nasdaq 100 tracker dipped slightly. The stock traded between $200.00 and $208.44.
