The Russell 2000, which tracks shares of small- and mid-cap companies, outperformed the broader U.S. market benchmark, the S&amp;P 500, for a ninth consecutive session on Wednesday, January 14. That marks the index’s longest winning streak against large caps in 25 years, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-01-13/stock-market-today-dow-s-p-live-updates?srnd=homepage-europe&amp;sref=Y0jVLcFo">reports</a>.

Oracle Corporation

Broadcom Inc.

The Nasdaq Composite Technology Index plunged nearly 2% on December 17 as Oracle's stock plunged, pulling other AI-related securities with it. The FT reported that Oracle lost an investor in one of its data center projects: this triggered a new wave of fears on Wall Street about the AI bubble.

Doubts about the prospects of the two companies have brought concerns about the valuation of the tech giants back to the market.
