Tech Rally and PCE Inflation Relief Lift Wall Street; Nasdaq Futures Surge as Micron Lead Market RallyJune 25, 2026 9:14 AM
IH Market News Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Futures are trading sharply higher this Thursday, fueled by a massive rally in the tech sector and investor relief over official inflation data. Pre-market optimism gained traction after corporate earnings crushed Wall Street estimates, while the macroeconomic landscape offered signs of monetary stability and cooling commodity prices. During pre-market trading, Nasdaq 100 futures surged an impressive 2.3%, leading gains in New York. S&P 500 futures rose 0.8%, while the Dow Jones posted a more modest advance, climbing 143 points (0.3%). In-Line PCE Brings Monetary Relief The day’s primary economic indicator, May’s Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation metric—rose 0.4% for the month, coming in slightly below the 0.5% ceiling projected by economists. Over the past 12 months, the PCE recorded a 4.1% increase. Core PCE, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 0.3% month-over-month and 3.4% year-over-year, landing exactly in line with consensus projections. Although underlying inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% target—justifying keeping interest rates at their current range of 3.50% to 3.75% per year—the market breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that recent geopolitical shocks have not triggered an uncontrolled inflationary spiral. The 10-year Treasury yield ticked slightly higher by 1 basis point to 4.414%. Oil Erases War Gains, Plummeting Over 1% In the commodities market, the tone was one of sharp decompression. Brent crude futures for August delivery fell 1.4%, trading at $72.68 per barrel, erasing the risk premiums accumulated since the onset of hostilities in the Middle East. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) followed the same downward trend, dropping 1.4% to $69.35. The significant decline comes after the United States and Iran brokered a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, releasing more than 20 oil tankers carrying approximately 35 million barrels of crude oil that had been held in the Persian Gulf for over three months. Citi analysts project that, as flows normalize, Brent should fall into the $60 to $65 range in the coming months. However, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy issued a warning that traffic will only be tolerated along routes strictly designated by Tehran, keeping geopolitical risks firmly on the radar. Top Corporate Moves on Wall Street Top Gainers Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU): Shares of the chipmaker skyrocketed nearly 18% after reporting adjusted earnings of $25.11 per share (versus $20.78 expected) and seeing its annualized revenue quadruple to $41.46 billion. The company recorded a historic gross margin of 84.9%, outperforming giants like Meta and Nvidia, and is on track to open at an all-time high. Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM): Surged 9.8% on the back of semiconductor optimism and after nearly doubling its 2029 revenue projection for non-smartphone segments, targeting $40 billion. Memory and Chip Sector: Driven by these results, Western Digital and SanDisk jumped more than 13% and 15%, respectively. Lam Research rose over 7%. Bio-Techne (NASDAQ:TECH): Shares surged 19.3% following confirmation of its acquisition by pharmaceutical giant Merck (NYSE:MRK) for $73 per share. Wendy’s (NASDAQ:WEN): Rose more than 11%, compounding a roughly 32% gain for the week, driven by strong appetite from retail investors. Top Losers: Darden Restaurants (NYSE:DRI): Fell over 3% after presenting a mixed fiscal fourth-quarter report and issuing full-year sales and earnings guidance below FactSet estimates. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN): Dipped slightly by 0.5% in pre-market trading. Despite announcing an additional $13 billion mega-investment in artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure (AWS) in India through 2030, initial investor reaction was cautious regarding the scale of the capital expenditures. Corporate & Finance: JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM): Shares rose 0.2% after the bank named Doug Petno and Troy Rohrbaugh as new co-presidents and heads of the financial institution’s largest divisions. The announcement is part of Jamie Dimon’s succession planning and marks the retirement of executive Marianne Lake.

SpaceX Extends Decline as Tech Stocks Retreat and Investors Reassess AI Spending: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesJune 23, 2026 6:47 AM
IH Market News Technology Shares Weigh on U.S. Market Outlook Wall Street appeared headed for a weaker start on Tuesday as investors continued to rotate out of technology stocks amid concerns over persistent interest rate pressures and the enormous capital requirements associated with artificial intelligence infrastructure. Nasdaq futures led losses after another decline in SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX), while falling oil prices provided a separate focal point for investors as diplomatic progress between the United States and Iran reduced concerns over energy supply disruptions. Meanwhile, fresh acquisition activity in the AI sector and renewed government support for quantum computing highlighted the ongoing competition for next-generation technology leadership. Nasdaq Futures Under Pressure U.S. equity futures moved lower before the opening bell, with technology stocks once again leading the decline. By 04:33 ET, Nasdaq 100 futures had fallen 2.8%, while S&P 500 futures were down 1.45%. Dow Jones futures declined 0.7%. The weakness reflects growing investor concern that U.S. interest rates could remain elevated for longer than previously anticipated. At the same time, questions are emerging about whether current levels of AI-related investment can be sustained indefinitely. After leading market gains over the past year, technology and semiconductor shares have become increasingly vulnerable to profit-taking and valuation scrutiny. SpaceX Sell-Off Continues SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) remained under pressure after suffering a sharp decline in the previous session. The stock dropped 16.4% on Monday and fell a further 2.9% in premarket trading. The latest weakness followed a more cautious assessment from KeyBanc, which argued that the company’s valuation had become increasingly demanding after its rapid rally following its stock market debut. SpaceX closed Monday at $154.59, only modestly above its IPO opening price of $150 and significantly below recent highs above $225. The decline has erased approximately $400 billion in market value and intensified debate over whether the company’s long-term growth opportunities justify its current valuation. The company also announced a senior notes offering and disclosed cash and cash equivalents exceeding $100 billion as of June 19. Qualcomm Pursues Additional AI Expansion Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) is reportedly close to acquiring AI chip startup Modular in a transaction that could value the company at approximately $4 billion, according to Bloomberg. The reported valuation is more than twice the level achieved in Modular’s funding round less than a year ago, reflecting the premium being placed on AI-related assets. Qualcomm continues to broaden its strategy beyond smartphones, targeting growth opportunities in artificial intelligence, data centres and autonomous vehicles. The company is also reportedly evaluating a separate acquisition involving AI startup Tenstorrent. The potential transaction highlights the increasingly competitive race among established technology firms to strengthen their AI capabilities. Oil Prices Extend Recent Decline Energy markets continued to move lower following significant losses in the previous session. Oil prices weakened further as investors grew more confident that progress in U.S.-Iran negotiations could ultimately increase global crude supplies. Market sentiment improved after Washington issued a 60-day licence permitting the sale and import of Iranian crude oil and petroleum products as part of ongoing diplomatic discussions. The development follows reports of progress toward a broader agreement and an extension of the current ceasefire framework. Lower oil prices could help ease inflationary pressures globally, although continued weakness may create challenges for energy producers. Quantum Computing Receives Policy Boost Quantum computing stocks advanced after President Donald Trump signed executive orders designed to accelerate development of the technology in the United States. The measures aim to support the deployment of a research-capable quantum computer by 2028 while also accelerating the implementation of quantum-resistant cybersecurity systems across federal agencies. Investors responded positively, driving gains in companies including Infleqtion (NYSE:INFQ), Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ:RGTI), D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:QBTS) and IonQ (NASDAQ:IONQ). IBM also moved higher after receiving favourable comments from Trump regarding CEO Arvind Krishna. The latest policy initiatives underscore Washington’s growing focus on quantum computing as a strategic technology area. Investors Look Beyond the AI Boom While artificial intelligence remains a dominant investment theme, the latest market moves suggest investors are becoming more selective about valuations and future growth assumptions. At the same time, government support for emerging technologies such as quantum computing highlights the possibility that the next major innovation cycle may already be beginning to take shape.

U.S. stocks set for higher open as tech earnings boost sentiment: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesApril 30, 2026 9:25 AM
IH Market News
U.S. stock futures are pointing to a stronger start on Thursday, suggesting markets could move higher after finishing the previous session with little overall direction.Early momentum appears driven by a positive market reaction to the latest earnings releases from major technology companies.Shares of Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) are soaring 7.1% in premarket trading after the Google parent reported first-quarter revenue above expectations.E-commerce giant Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is also climbing 3.7% ahead of the open after delivering quarterly results that topped analyst forecasts.Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) is seeing notable premarket gains as well, following better-than-expected fiscal second-quarter earnings.In contrast, shares of Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) are dropping 7.8% in premarket trading. While the company beat expectations for the quarter, its increased capital spending outlook weighed on investor sentiment.A decline in oil prices is also supporting early gains on Wall Street, with U.S. crude futures falling more than 1% despite ongoing concerns tied to the Middle East conflict.
Markets ended previous session mixed
After Tuesday’s pullback, Wednesday’s session saw stocks move without clear direction. Both the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 fluctuated around the unchanged line before closing mixed.The tech-heavy Nasdaq edged up 9.44 points, or less than 0.1%, to 24,673.24, while the S&P 500 slipped 2.85 points, also less than 0.1%, to 7,135.95.Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined more noticeably, falling 280.12 points, or 0.6%, to 48,861.81, pressured by sharp losses in Boeing (NYSE:BA), IBM (NYSE:IBM) and Travelers (NYSE:TRV).
Investors cautious ahead of key catalysts
The subdued performance reflected investor caution ahead of major earnings announcements from large-cap technology companies.Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) were among the firms reporting results after the close.Market participants were also focused on the latest policy decision from the Federal Reserve, which kept interest rates unchanged in a closely divided vote.The Fed maintained its target range for the federal funds rate at 3.50% to 3.75%, citing its dual mandate of maximum employment and stable inflation around 2% over the long term.Beth Hammack, Neel Kashkari and Lorie Logan supported holding rates steady but “did not support inclusion of an easing bias in the statement at this time.”The trio reportedly objected to language referencing “additional adjustments to the target range,” given that the Fed’s most recent actions have been rate cuts.
Sector moves show divergence
Despite the broader market’s muted tone, some sectors posted strong gains. Networking stocks led the advance, with the NYSE Arca Networking Index jumping 4.8% to a record close.Energy shares also rallied alongside oil prices, pushing the NYSE Arca Oil Index up 3.2%.Semiconductor, computer hardware and oil services stocks showed solid gains as well, while gold, airline and steel stocks moved lower during the session.Alphabet stock priceAmazon stock priceQualcomm stock priceMeta stock priceBoeing stock priceIBM stock priceTravelers Companies stock priceMicrosoft stock price

U.S. stocks seen opening lower after report on OpenAI raises concerns: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesApril 28, 2026 9:19 AM
IH Market News
U.S. stock futures point to a weaker start on Tuesday, suggesting equities could come under pressure following a mixed and volatile session the day before.Technology shares are expected to lead declines, highlighted by a 1.3% drop in Nasdaq 100 futures.Stocks linked to artificial intelligence infrastructure may face selling pressure after The Wall Street Journal reported that OpenAI recently failed to meet its internal targets for both user growth and revenue.According to sources cited in the report, the shortfall has sparked concern among some executives about whether the company can sustain its heavy investment in data centers.Oracle (NYSE:ORCL), which has a long-term partnership with OpenAI focused on AI infrastructure, is falling 6.5% in premarket trading.Semiconductor names are also under pressure, with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) and Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) all posting notable premarket declines.Geopolitical tensions may further weigh on sentiment, as indications suggest the Trump administration is unlikely to accept Iran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz while postponing discussions on its nuclear program.Following strong gains last Friday, markets delivered a subdued performance on Monday. Major indices fluctuated around the flatline throughout the session before finishing with little overall movement.The Nasdaq rose 50.50 points, or 0.2%, to 24,887.10, and the S&P 500 edged up 8.83 points, or 0.1%, to 7,173.91—both reaching fresh record closing highs. Meanwhile, the Dow slipped 62.92 points, or 0.1%, to 49,167.79.The lack of clear direction reflected investor caution amid uncertainty surrounding developments in the Middle East, particularly after U.S.-Iran talks stalled over the weekend.As negotiations enter a more uncertain phase, reports indicate Iran has proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ending the conflict, while delaying talks on its nuclear program.Corporate earnings are likely to take center stage in the coming days, with five of the “Magnificent Seven” companies scheduled to release results this week.Investors are also closely watching the Federal Reserve’s policy decision due on Wednesday.While the Fed is widely expected to keep rates unchanged, its accompanying statement may offer insights into the future path of monetary policy.Sector performance on Monday was generally muted, mirroring the broader market’s lack of momentum.Airline stocks were among the biggest decliners, with the NYSE Arca Airline Index falling 2.1%.Gold-related shares also showed weakness, as the NYSE Arca Gold Bugs Index dropped 1.8%.Telecom, networking and pharmaceutical stocks moved lower as well, while banking shares posted gains.Oracle stock priceNvidia stock priceBroadcom stock priceAdvanced Micro Devices stock priceQualcomm stock price

Qualcomm Recommends Stockholders Reject Mini-Tender Offer by Tutanota LLCApril 17, 2026 4:30 PM
Business Wire
Qualcomm is Not Associated in Any Way with Tutanota or its Mini-Tender Offer
Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM) has been notified of an unsolicited “mini-tender” offer by Tutanota LLC (“Tutanota”) to purchase up to 500,000 shares, which is less than 0.05%, of Qualcomm’s outstanding common stock at a price of $150.00 per share. The offer price of $150.00 per share is conditioned on, among other things, the closing price per share of Qualcomm’s common stock exceeding $150.00 on the last trading day before the offer expires. This means that unless this condition is waived by Tutanota, Qualcomm stockholders who tender their shares in the offer will receive a below-market price. Tutanota can extend the offer for successive periods of 45 to 180 days and has stated that it expects to extend the offer until the market price of Qualcomm common stock exceeds the offer price, in which case payment would be delayed beyond the scheduled expiration date of April 27, 2026.
Qualcomm does not endorse Tutanota’s mini-tender offer and recommends that Qualcomm stockholders do not tender their shares because the offer requires that the closing price for Qualcomm common stock exceed the offer price, and the offer is subject to numerous additional conditions, including Tutanota obtaining financing for the offer. There is no guarantee the conditions of the offer will be satisfied. Qualcomm is in no way associated with Tutanota, the mini-tender offer or the offer documentation.
According to Tutanota’s offer documents, Qualcomm stockholders who have already tendered their shares may withdraw their shares at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, April 27, 2026, by following the procedures described in the offer documents.
Tutanota has made other similar mini-tender offers for shares of other publicly traded companies. Mini-tender offers are designed to seek to acquire less than five percent of a company’s outstanding shares, thereby avoiding many disclosure and procedural requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that apply to offers for more than five percent of a company’s outstanding shares. As a result, mini-tender offers do not provide investors with the same level of protections as provided by larger tender offers under United States securities laws.
The SEC has cautioned investors about mini-tender offers, stating that “Investors need to scrutinize mini-tender offers carefully. Some bidders make mini-tender offers at below-market prices, hoping that they will catch investors off guard if the investors do not compare the offer price to the current market price.” The SEC’s Tips for Investors regarding mini-tender offers may be found on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/minitend.htm.
Qualcomm encourages brokers and dealers, as well as other market participants, to review the SEC’s letter regarding broker-dealer mini-tender offer dissemination and disclosures at www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/minitenders/sia072401.htm and the NASD Notice to Members 99-53 issued in July 1999 regarding guidance to members forwarding mini-tender offers to their customers, which can be found at www.finra.org/sites/default/files/NoticeDocument/p004221.pdf.

Business Wire
Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ : QCOM) a annoncé aujourd’hui que son conseil d’administration avait approuvé une hausse du dividende trimestriel en espèces de la Société, lequel passe de 0,89 USD à 0,92 USD par action ordinaire. Cette augmentation s’appliquera aux dividendes trimestriels payables à compter du 26 mars 2026, portant ainsi le dividende annualisé à 3,68 USD par action ordinaire.
Par ailleurs, le conseil d’administration a approuvé un nouveau programme de rachat d’actions pour un montant de 20 milliards USD avec effet immédiat. Cette nouvelle autorisation de rachat vient s’ajouter au programme de rachat d’actions de la Société annoncé en novembre 2024, dont il reste environ 2,1 milliards USD à utiliser. Le nouveau programme de rachat d’actions n’est soumis à aucune date d’expiration. Le calendrier des rachats d’actions et le nombre d’actions ordinaires à racheter dépendront des conditions du marché et d’autres facteurs. Les rachats entrant dans le cadre de ce programme pourront être lancés ou suspendus à tout moment, à la discrétion de la Société et sans préavis. Les rachats pourront être effectués sur le marché libre, par le biais de programmes conformes à la règle 10b5-1, de programmes accélérés de rachat d’actions, dans le cadre de transactions négociées de gré à gré ou par le recours à des instruments dérivés.
« Conformément à notre engagement de restituer du capital à nos actionnaires, nous nous réjouissons que notre conseil d’administration ait approuvé une augmentation de notre dividende trimestriel et autorisé ce nouveau programme de rachat d’actions », a déclaré Cristiano Amon, PDG de Qualcomm Incorporated. « Tandis que nous continuons à étendre notre leadership technologique et commercial dans différents secteurs d’activité, nous restons concentrés sur le rendement pour nos actionnaires et sur la mise en œuvre de nos projets de diversification en cours, tout en maintenant une discipline opérationnelle rigoureuse. »

Qualcomm and Other Industry Leaders Commit to 6G Trajectory Towards Commercialization Starting from 2029 OnwardsMarch 2, 2026 2:22 AM
Business Wire
New Collaboration Sets Milestone-Driven Roadmap for AI-Native 6G Networks, with Early Demonstrations at MWC Barcelona 2026
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: QCOM) today announced a new strategic coalition with leading industry partners to accelerate the development and global deployment of 6G. Revealed at MWC Barcelona 2026, the collaboration establishes a clear, milestone-driven roadmap focused on delivering 6G commercial systems starting from 2029 onwards.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260301647215/en/
Global partners supporting this coalition include Airtel, Amazon, Asus, BT Group, Cisco, Dell, e&, Ericsson, FPT Corporation, Fujitsu/1finity, Google, HP, HPE, HUMAIN, KDDI, KT, Lenovo, LG Electronics, LG Uplus, Meta, Microsoft, Motorola, NEC Corporation, Nokia, NTT DOCOMO, Reliance Jio, Samsung Electronics, Sharp, SK Telecom, Snap, Inc., Stellantis, Swisscom, Tejas Networks, Telstra, TIM Group, T-Mobile, Viettel Group, VNG, and YTL. Read global partner executive quotes here.
6G is being designed as an AI-native system that builds upon three key pillars: connectivity, wide-area sensing, and high-performance compute. These next generation networks will feature new and advanced capabilities, including intelligent radios with integrated wide-area sensing capabilities, virtualized and cloud RAN with high-performance and energy efficient compute, AI-based network autonomy, as well as edge and centralized data centers for entirely new AI workloads.
6G systems will enable higher levels of efficiency and performance for telecommunication applications, new agentic consumer and enterprise devices, and new classes of AI-enabled services, ranging from context-relevant data, low-altitude aerial and terrestrial traffic management, data insights and analytics at scale, and many more. 6G is a generational opportunity for the transformation and growth of the telecom sector enabled by the combination of wireless, efficient computing and AI.
“6G is more than the next step in wireless evolution. It is the foundation for an AI-native future that distributes intelligence across devices, the edge, and the cloud, and transforms network providers into AI-driven enterprises,” said Cristiano Amon, President and CEO of Qualcomm Incorporated. “Having led multiple generations of global wireless innovation, Qualcomm brings deep expertise and capabilities to the development and commercialization of 6G. As with every wireless transition, success will depend on strong and dedicated partnerships, shared purpose and joint innovation. This group of industry leaders is making a united commitment to invest and innovate to deliver on a common 6G vision, with the rollout from 2029 onwards.”
The collaboration focuses on three core architectural domains: devices, networks, and cloud infrastructure. The companies participating in this effort are committed to a shared objective to advance 6G as an intelligent, AI-native device and network platform. This includes driving timely development of essential 6G standards, early system validation, demonstration of 6G spec-compliant pre-commercial devices and networks in 2028, establishing a common industry benchmark for 6G readiness, and initial rollout of global and interoperable commercial 6G systems starting from 2029 onwards. Together, the members will also build capabilities for new business models and services to accelerate adoption and create value across the 6G ecosystem.
Qualcomm’s longstanding role in developing and contributing to global wireless standards with its partners is central to the initiative. Through active participation across standards bodies and early technology development, Qualcomm and its partners will help drive the technical foundation required to scale 6G from concept to commercialization.
Other partners aligned with this effort include Alibaba, Aramco, Chery Automobile, China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom, Deutsche Telekom, Geely Auto, GWM, Honor, Hyundai, Leap Motor, Li Auto, Oppo, NIO, SAIC Motor, Vivo, Xiaomi, and Xpeng.
Visitors at MWC Barcelona 2026 can witness the 6G transformation in real time at the Qualcomm Booth 3E10 located in hall 3. The booth will feature 6G breakthroughs and demonstrations; for details, read the blog from John Smee, Senior Vice President, Engineering, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Wall Street Futures Point Higher as Bargain Buyers Step In After Tech Selloff: Dow Jones, S&P, NasdaqFebruary 6, 2026 9:15 AM
IH Market News
U.S. stock index futures are signaling a firmer open on Friday, suggesting equities may recover some lost ground after several sessions of sharp declines.Investors appear poised to hunt for bargains following the recent technology-led pullback, which pushed the Nasdaq to its lowest closing level in more than two months. That said, trading volumes could remain light after the Labor Department delayed its closely watched monthly employment report until next Wednesday.Market upside may also be capped by ongoing unease over heavy artificial intelligence spending, compounded by a sharp premarket drop in Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). The online retail giant is down 8.5% ahead of the open after posting slightly weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings and unveiling 2026 capital expenditure plans that came in well above analyst forecasts.“All the hyperscalers are competing to win the AI race, for which the prize could be significant,” said Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell. “However, investors are being asked to countenance enormous amounts of cash going out the door in service of this goal.”
He added, “With the exact direction and trajectory of artificial intelligence still uncertain there is understandable concern that this money could be wasted.”Thursday’s session saw a broad selloff across U.S. equities, extending Wednesday’s mixed performance. Technology shares bore the brunt of the pressure, with the Nasdaq sliding to its weakest close in over two months.While stocks recovered somewhat from intraday lows, the major indices still ended decisively lower. The Nasdaq sank 363.99 points, or 1.6%, to 22,540.59. The S&P 500 fell 84.32 points, or 1.2%, to 6,798.40, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 592.58 points, or 1.2%, to 48,908.72.Continued weakness in technology stocks weighed heavily on sentiment, amplified by a sharp decline in Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM). The chipmaker tumbled 8.5% after reporting fiscal first-quarter earnings that topped expectations but issuing lackluster guidance for the current quarter.Meanwhile, Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) finished well above its session lows but still closed down 0.5%. The company beat fourth-quarter estimates but rattled investors by flagging a significant increase in capital spending for 2026.Technology shares have retreated sharply in recent days as investors reassess valuations and the longer-term payoff from AI-related investments.On the economic front, fresh data from the Labor Department showed a much larger-than-expected rise in initial claims for unemployment benefits in the week ended January 31. First-time claims jumped to 231,000, up 22,000 from the prior week’s unrevised level of 209,000. Economists had been looking for a more modest increase to around 212,000. The latest reading marked the highest level since early December.A separate Labor Department report also showed U.S. job openings unexpectedly fell in December to their lowest level in more than five years.Sector-wise, gold stocks were hit hard alongside a slide in bullion prices, with the NYSE Arca Gold Bugs Index plunging 6.3%. Software and computer hardware names also saw heavy selling, dragging the Dow Jones U.S. Software Index down 5.1% and the NYSE Arca Computer Hardware Index lower by 4.2%.Oil service stocks weakened as crude prices dropped sharply, reflected in a 3.1% fall in the Philadelphia Oil Service Index. Financials, retailers and pharmaceutical stocks also posted notable declines, leaving most major sectors in negative territory by the close.Amazon stock priceQualcomm stock priceAlphabet stock price
