LegalZoom Drops Ahead of Shareholder Meeting as AI Fight Hangs Over Stock

LegalZoom.com traded lower in premarket Wednesday, with the stock near $6.53 as investors prepared for the company’s annual meeting. Shares have had trouble translating stronger sales into better numbers on the bottom line. The latest price was off 14.5 cents from Tuesday’s close, giving LegalZoom a market cap near $1.16 billion. The timing sets the scene. U.S. markets are open as usual, and Nasdaq’s 2026 holiday list shows the next full day off is Juneteenth, June 19. LegalZoom’s shareholder meeting is scheduled for later in the day, not on a weekend or holiday.

NFIB survey: US small-business optimism slips in January 2026 as uncertainty jumps, sales hopes rise

U.S. small-business optimism edged down in January, while uncertainty jumped as more owners questioned whether it is a good time to expand, a closely watched survey showed this week. The NFIB Small Business Optimism Index slipped 0.2 point to 99.3, while its uncertainty gauge rose seven points to 91. Small firms account for nearly half of private-sector jobs, and the shift in mood matters because it can show up quickly in hiring and spending. The reading came in below economists’ expectations for no change, with owners again pointing to inflation, labour quality and the cost or availability of insurance as sticking points.

Shopify shares jump on upbeat revenue outlook and $2 billion buyback

Shopify forecast first-quarter revenue growth in the low-30% range on Wednesday and said it would start a $2 billion share repurchase program, pushing its U.S.-listed shares up more than 7% in premarket trading. The outlook matters because investors are still trying to read the consumer: tariffs and higher prices have pinched budgets, but spending has not cracked the way some retailers feared. For Shopify, which lives off merchant sales volumes and subscription fees, demand turns into numbers fast.
