2026.01.2914:43:39UTC+00US Stocks Mixed, Microsoft Tumbles

On Thursday, U.S. stock markets exhibited volatility, with major indices displaying a mixed performance. This fluctuation occurred as the technology sector faced declines due to renewed concerns surrounding AI-related valuations, compounded by investor reactions to a new wave of corporate earnings reports. Conversely, energy stocks outshone others and communication services showed substantial gains.

Microsoft experienced a significant drop of over 10% after reporting a slowdown in cloud growth, despite having reached record-high spending. Meanwhile, Tesla recorded a 1.2% decline following a 3% decrease in annual revenue, marking the first such decline in the company's history. Oracle also faced a decrease of 3.1% following its announcement of an AI-driven platform for life sciences research.

On a positive note, Meta surged nearly 9% after its sales forecast surpassed expectations. IBM enjoyed a jump of 7.4%, and Caterpillar saw a rise of 4.1%, with both companies reporting results that exceeded projections. Honeywell made modest gains of 3.7%, despite having mixed results. Additionally, Apple saw a slight increase of 0.3% in anticipation of its quarterly earnings report, scheduled for release after today's market close.
