Apple and Alphabet

+0.02%

On watch as a pair after the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) announced that it will be probing both companies. The goal of the investigation will be to see if the companies are in a position of “strategic market status” within their respective fields, which include browsers and operating systems. Separately, Goldman Sachs lowered its price target for Apple from $286 to $280 while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock.

AAPL. GOOGL

Crypto Stocks

-1.98%

Trading lower as a group as Bitcoin continues to drift from its most recent all-time high above $109,000, made on Monday, January 20. The cryptocurrency began Thursday’s session just below $104,000 and is trading around $101,725 as of 7:45 AM ET. The crypto space has been on heightened alert since the inauguration of President Donald Trump on Monday, with many expecting an executive order or announcement in favor of crypto; that announcement has yet to come.

MSTR, COIN, MARA, RIOT, IBIT, ETHE, HIVE, CLSK, HUT, CAN, BTBT, BTDR

NVIDIA Corp (NVDA)

-1.67%

Pulling back alongside several other AI companies after a rally on Wednesday, driven, by President Donald Trump’s announcement of a $100 billion AI infrastructure investment backed by a joint venture between Oracle, OpenAI, and Softbank. Additionally, SK Hynix, one of the company’s key suppliers, reported earnings late on Wednesday. The firm reported a 102% increase in revenue and net profit of $19.79 trillion won for 2024.

Tesla Inc (TSLA)

-0.51%

Trading marginally lower premarket following a cautious note from Oppenheimer, which maintained a Market Perform rating on the stock and refrained from setting a price target. The firm expressed concerns about “significant risk” surrounding CEO Elon Musk’s alliance with President Donald Trump despite the potential benefits the relationship could bring for Tesla. Oppenheimer noted that it expects the company to focus its narrative on AI, autonomy, and its upcoming model at the expense of improving sales growth. Separately, the company announced price increases for its entire fleet in Canada.

American Airlines Group Inc (AAL)

-10.34%

Gapping down following its earnings report. Adjusted earnings of $0.86 per share beat estimates of $0.64, and sales of $13.7 billion beat estimates of $13.395 billion. The company guided adjusted losses of $0.20 to $0.40 per share for Q1 2025, missing estimates of a $0.04-per-share loss, and its FY 2025 EPS guidance of $1.70-$2.70 also underperformed estimates of $2.42.

Electronic Arts (EA)

-16.40%

Gapping down after releasing weaker-than-expected preliminary results for fiscal Q3 2025. Adjusted earnings are expected to be $1.11 for the quarter, in line with analyst estimates, but preliminary Q3 revenue of $1.883 billion fell well below estimates of $2.507 billion. The company adjusted its net booking outlook for fiscal 2025 from $7.5 billion-$7.8 billion to $7 billion-$7.15 billion, citing an expected decline in Global Football bookings and weaker-than-expected engagement for Dragon Age. BMO Capital Markets, B of A Securities, and Raymond James have all downgraded the stock since the announcement.

GameStop Corp (GME)

+0.78%

Trading higher premarket with volume following a cryptic social media post from Keith “Roaring Kitty” Gill, the man whose GameStop posts led to a massive short squeeze in 2021. Late on Wednesday, Gill shared a clip from the animated show Futurama featuring a dog waiting outside over a prolonged period of time; the date “January 2, 2000” was shown at the beginning of the clip. Previous Gill posts which featured dog imagery have been connected to Chewy (CHWY), which Gill briefly had a position in before selling.

GE Aerospace (GE)

+7.11%

Gapping up after its earnings report, with adjusted earnings of $1.32 per share and sales of $9.879 billion exceeding estimates of $1.04 and $9.604 billion, respectively. Total orders for the quarter reached $15.50 billion, up 46% year-over-year. The company guided adjusted earnings between $5.10 and $5.45 for fiscal 2025, compared to estimates of $5.22, and expects revenue to grow in the low double digits.

Kopin Corp (KOPN)

+21.09%

Gapping up amid increased retail attention following a late-day rally on Wednesday. The run up was driven by a series of reports suggesting that the company is in talks for an Army contract related to its headsets; Palantir is also reportedly in conversation for the deal.
