US stocks wavered Wednesday after the S&P 500 (^GSPC) vaulted briefly over the 7,000 mark ahead of earnings from megacap tech companies, while the Federal Reserve held interest rates unchanged in its first policy decision of the year. The S&P 500 pulled back slightly after initially climbing on the heels of a record close earlier in the session. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) ticked up 0.1%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) hovered near the flatline. The Fed's first interest-rate decision of the year announced at the end of its two-day meeting, kept rates unchanged in a range of 3.5% to 3.75%, in a 10-2 decision. Governors Chris Waller and Stephen Miran voted in favor of a 25 basis point cut. The spotlight now turns to Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference comments for clues about future cuts. Ahead of Wednesday’s decision, markets were pricing in two quarter-point rate reductions by the end of 2026, according to CME FedWatch. The recent slump in the dollar (DX-Y.NYB) raised questions over the potential risk of an economic downturn. The US currency was stable Wednesday, after sinking to its lowest level since 2022 on Tuesday after President Trump brushed off the deepest drop in the dollar since his sweeping tariffs launched. The rate decision also comes amid a period of political tension for the central bank, as the Trump administration in recent weeks opened a criminal investigation against Powell over his Senate testimony about renovations of the central bank’s headquarters. Markets are also watching for Trump to announce Powell's successor, which Trump has said could happen any day now. Meanwhile, techs are in the spotlight again as a surprise record surge in orders for ASML's (ASML) chipmaking machines stoked optimism for a long-lasting AI boom. Shares in ASML turned lower, though the spirits boosted AI bellwether Nvidia (NVDA) and TSMC (TSM), which rely on the Dutch company's gear to produce chips.

Trump's National Guard deployments could cost over $1 billion this year, CBO projects toggle caption Al Drago/Getty Images North America President Trump's unprecedented use of the National Guard could cost $1.1 billion this year if domestic deployments remain in place, according to data released by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. During his second term, Trump sent troops to six Democratic-led cities in an effort to suppress protests, tackle crime or protect federal buildings and personnel. Half of those mobilizations ended this month, namely in Los Angeles, Chicago and Portland, Ore. But the continued military presence in Washington, D.C., Memphis and New Orleans, along with 200 members of the Texas National Guard still on standby, is expected to carry a steep cost. Sponsor Message On Wednesday, the CBO said that at current levels, these deployments will require an additional $93 million per month. The operation in D.C. alone, which currently includes over 2,690 Guard members, is projected to reach upwards of $660 million this year if it runs through December as expected by the CBO. The CBO's findings were issued in response to 11 U.S. senators — led by Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon — who, back in October, urged the budget office to conduct an independent probe into deployment costs. "It's a massive use of national treasure that should be going into healthcare, housing and education," Merkley told NPR on Wednesday. The White House did not respond to a request for comment. For months, the Trump administration has offered little information about the price tag associated with the Guard operations. The CBO's findings on Wednesday come as Trump's use of National Guard troops has already faced legal scrutiny in the courts and sparked serious conversations about soldiers' morale. In 2025, $496 million spent on domestic deployments Trump first deployed the Guard in June to Los Angeles in response to protests over immigration raids. In the months that ...

In this article Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Chesnot | Getty Images The crypto political action committee Fairshake amassed $193 million by the end of last year, positioning itself to play a major role in congressional midterms as lawmakers negotiate a major cryptocurrency bill set to get its first vote this week. The total, shared with CNBC by Fairshake ahead of the Jan. 31 reporting deadline, includes funds raised for Fairshake, which gives to candidates of both parties, as well as its sister PACs — the Democrat-focused Protect Progress and Republican-focused Defend American Jobs. The new total reflects two major donations made in the second half of 2025. Blockchain company Ripple gave $25 million, and Andreessen Horowitz's a16z gave $24 million. Coinbase , the group's other major donor, gave $25 million in the first half of last year, just before the PAC announced it had $141 million on hand. "With the midterms approaching, we are united behind our mission with Fairshake continuing to oppose anti-crypto politicians and support pro-crypto leaders," said PAC spokesperson Josh Vlasto.

With the Federal Open Market Committee's first meeting of the year this afternoon — followed by earnings from three of the "Magnificent Seven" — there's no shortage of near-term catalysts today. This being the case, railroad stocks most likely are not a focus for many investors today — or really at any time. But just because a sector, group or stock isn't among the most discussed, doesn't mean we should ignore a potential opportunity. Thus, when a compelling chart pattern emerges, it always finds its way onto our radar. CSX Corporation (CSX) is one such example. CSX just made a new 52-week high after reporting earnings last week. As is clear, the stock has remained in a back-and-forth trend since being hit hard earlier in the year. And, along the way, it has continued to make higher highs and higher lows. Getting a true sense of a stock's trend requires analyzing it across longer-term timeframes, as well. Zooming out to the weekly chart, we can see that CSX is now breaking out above an even larger bullish cup-and-handle pattern, which closely mirrors the daily setup. From this perspective, upside follow-through could soon put the early-2024 all-time highs back in the crosshairs. Needless to say, the presence of bullish patterns across two timeframes like this raises our conviction, compared with a setup that appears on only one. Further, sometimes it's helpful to display multiple patterns on the same chart, provided it doesn't become overly cluttered. In this case, doing so adds clarity by showing how both setups have developed over the past several months, while also highlighting the respective measured-move targets stemming from each breakout. On the daily timeframe, the shorter-term bullish pattern (shown in green) carries an upside target near 43. The larger cup-and-handle pattern (in blue), which has been forming for more than a year, points to a higher upside target near 48. The 33.5 area serves as a suggested stop-loss if one were to approach this as a tradin...

AI data labeling startup Handshake has acquired data label auditing startup Cleanlab, the companies tell TechCrunch. Handshake began in 2013 as a platform for hiring college grads and launched a human data labeling business about a year ago to serve foundational AI model companies. Cleanlab, founded in 2021, is a startup that provides software for improving the quality of data produced by human labelers. The deal’s purpose is primarily to acquire talent, aka an acqui-hire, adding nine key Cleanlab employees to Handshake’s research organization. This includes the startup’s co-founders, who earned their PhDs in computer science from MIT: Curtis Northcutt (pictured above), Jonas Mueller, and Anish Athalya. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed (though, as we previously reported, sometimes an acquihire can be surprisingly lucrative for founders.) Cleanlab has raised a total of $30 million from investors including Menlo Ventures, TQ Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and Databricks Ventures. At its peak, the startup had more than 30 employees. Cleanlab’s researchers are experts in developing algorithms that flag incorrect data without a second human reviewer. The goal is to improve the quality of the data Handshake produces for AI labs. “We have an in-house research team that thinks a lot about where our models are weak, what data should we be producing? How high quality is that data?” Sahil Bhaiwala, chief strategy and innovation officer at Handshake told TechCrunch. “The Cleanlabs team has been focusing on this problem for years.” Northcutt, the Cleanlabs CEO who’s credited with pioneering its automating data labeling auditing, said the company received acquisition interest from other AI data labeling companies. But the startup chose to sell to Handshake because, he said, data labeling competitors including Mercor, Surge, and Scale AI frequently use Handshake’s platform to source human experts such as doctors, lawyers, and scientists, for their data labeling pr...

Despite Two Dovish Dissents, Fed Holds Rates As Expected; Upgrades Growth, Lowers Labor Risks Tl; dr: Despite two dovish dissents , The Fed is likely on an “extended pause” noting strong activity data and signs of stabilization in the labor market. However, Goldman "expects easing to resume later in the year as a moderation in inflation allows for two further ‘normalization’ cuts to take rates back to levels seen by the median FOMC member as neutral.” Christopher Hodge, chief US economist at Natixis, says at the end of the day here the Fed is “on hold until data prompts a move.” " We have now entered a new phase of policymaking where the Fed views the risks to both parts of its dual mandate are in balance. It will be incumbent on the data to move the Fed from this perch – the days of insurance cuts to slowly approach neutral are likely over."

General Motors Co. ’s blockbuster fourth-quarter results prompted more than a dozen Wall Street analysts to boost their price targets on the carmaker, sending a signal to investors that the furious rally in the stock is far from over. The Detroit-based automotive behemoth roared into view with strong earnings, a robust 2026 outlook and a plan to buy back up to $6 billion in shares and raise its dividend. The stock closed up 8.7% on Tuesday after the results, capping a 70% gain over the past year. It partially trimmed its gains Wednesday, falling 1.5%. At least 13 analysts, according to data compiled by Bloomberg — including those at Citigroup Inc. , Barclays PLC and RBC Capital Markets — raised their 12-month target for the stock. TD Cowen set a new Street-high of $122. “Our big picture takeaway is that this outlook confirms our view from our upgrade that GM has a lot of levers to be able to drive earnings growth,” wrote UBS analyst Joseph Spak , who boosted his price target to $102 from $97. Spak upgraded GM shares to buy from neutral in September. This may seem like a murky time to be an American car-maker. The regulatory landscape is shifting , US consumer health is in question , and tariff-related uncertainty persists . GM’s peers have seen less robust gains during this period. Ford Motor Co. ’s shares have risen about 37% over the past twelve months, and electric car giant Tesla Inc. has gained less than 10%. For Wedbush analyst Dan Ives , GM has been able to “navigate this difficult environment flawlessly.” Ives kept his price target at $95 after raising it in December from $75.

Worawith Ounpeng Eikon Therapeutics ( EIKN ), a cancer drug developer led by Merck ( MRK ) veteran Roger Perlmutter, has filed for its U.S. IPO seeking a valuation of up to $908M with roughly 17.6M shares on offer. The Millbrae, California-based biotech is planning to raise about $273.5M in net proceeds (nearly $315.4M including the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares), assuming the midpoint of its marketed price range of $16 - $18 per share. The company, which intends to list on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “EIKN,” can command a valuation of up to $908.2M at the top of the range, given the roughly 50.5M shares expected to be outstanding immediately after the offering. Eikon is led by CEO Perlmutter, a former president of Merck Research Laboratories ( MRK ), and several other former top brass of the pharma giant, including medical chief Roy Baynes and board member Ken Frazier. Being a clinical-stage biotechnology company, Eikon ( EIKN ) has incurred sizable losses since its launch in 2019. And its pipeline is led by EIK1001, an experimental medicine licensed from Edison, New Jersey-based Seven and Eight Biotherapeutics. EIKN’s near-term catalysts include initial data expected in H2 2026 from a global Phase 2/3 registrational trial for EIK1001 in advanced malignant melanoma.

Share your best investment idea by submitting your article for review to our editors. Get published, earn money, and unlock exclusive SA Premium access. Click here to find out more » dszc/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis I feel the pullback in Vistra Corp.'s ( VST ) stock price was driven by accounting optics, not fundamentals. I believe Vistra is a buy due to several reasons that include (1) a historical and disciplined hedging and contracting strategy that the market has continued to ignore and misprice as volatile earnings despite earnings visibility through 2027; (2) an evolving and long-standing capital allocation framework planning to deploy ~$10 billion of cash through aggressive share buybacks, balance sheet deleveraging, and critical investments in smart acquisitions and high-return plants; and (3) an increasing energy demand by hyperscalers and AI in key markets like the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), a non-profit grid operator, and the Pennsylvania–New Jersey–Maryland Interconnection (PJM), a non-profit regional transmission organization, positions Vistra’s diversified generation fleet to capture this growth. Company Overview Vistra Corp. is an independent power producer located in the U.S. that combines a large retail platform with a diversified power generation fleet. The company operates in key markets like ERCOT and PJM and serves millions of customers while hedging its load with its broad generation fleet. Fundamental Analysis Share prices were crushed following Q3 earnings, dropping ~25%, driven by a huge GAAP accounting loss rather than actual deterioration in fundamentals. A ~$1.7 billion unrealized loss on non-cash energy hedges was reported, and a fire at Martin Lake blurred otherwise impressive performance. However, management expects to " recover a majority of the expenditures associated " with the fire...

Key Points Logitech beat on sales and beat on earnings in its fiscal Q3 report. Guidance for the rest of the year also looks good. 10 stocks we like better than Logitech International › Logitech International (NASDAQ: LOGI) stock tumbled 6.4% through 12:45 p.m. ET Wednesday despite beating on both sales and earnings this morning. Heading into the company's fiscal Q3 2026 report, analysts forecast Logitech to earn $1.81 per share on sales of $1.41 billion. In fact, Logitech earned $1.93 per share on sales of $1.42 billion. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Logitech Q3 earnings Logitech grew sales 6% year over year in Q3 and added 30 basis points to its gross margin -- now 43.2%. The company shaved down its spending on selling, general, and administrative costs even as sales rose -- and research and development investments increased. Result: Even as Logitech invested in its future, it managed to translate single-digit sales gains into a superb 21% improvement in per-share profits. It is worth noting that GAAP profits were only $1.69 per share; the "$1.81" profit that trounced estimates was non-GAAP. Still, as I look at the numbers, Logitech seems to have had a fantastic quarter. CEO Hanneke Faber agrees, calling the quarterly results both "excellent" and "broad-based across categories, regions, and both consumer and business channels." Is Logitech stock a buy? Turning to guidance, Logitech forecast $1.07 billion to $1.09 billion in Q4 sales (bracketing analysts' forecast for $1.08 billion). That should bring full-year sales to $4.82 billion or better, edging out forecasts. On earnings, the company sees pre-tax profit of about $160 million for Q4 and about $905 million for the year. Management did not give after-tax or free cash flow guidance. Still, with $905 million in trailing free cash flow, I get a 14.4x price-to-free cash flow ratio on the stock, which pays a 1.7%...
