PepsiCo Stock (NASDAQ: PEP): Markets Closed for the Weekend as Investors Weigh Year-End Trading and PepsiCo’s 2026 Outlook

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 11:29 a.m. ET — Market Closed PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ: PEP) enters the final stretch of the year with U.S. markets closed for the weekend and investors balancing two forces that often collide in late December: thinner liquidity and positioning ahead of a new year.

(NYSE: NOW) stock is heading into the final three trading days of 2025 with investors balancing two very different forces: a thin, holiday-driven tape that can exaggerate moves, and an unusually consequential strategic shift as the enterprise software leader pushes deeper into cybersecurity with its planned Armis acquisition.

Canada Tax Changes 2026: New Federal Tax Brackets, 14% Rate Cut, TFSA & RRSP Limits, CPP and EI Updates

As Canada heads into 2026, the tax story is less about one dramatic overhaul—and more about a cluster of meaningful “moving parts” that will show up in paycheques, contribution room, and planning decisions throughout the year. The headline change is a lower federal tax rate on the first slice of taxable income. But Canadians will also see inflation-adjusted bracket thresholds, updated registered-account limits (TFSA and RRSP), higher CPP ceilings (including CPP2 for higher earners), and a fresh round of Employment Insurance updates. Meanwhile, ahead of the 2026 filing season, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has been under pressure to improve
