Danaher (DHR) Stock After Hours on Dec. 24, 2025: What Happened After the Early Close — and What to Know Before the Next Market Open

Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR) ended Wednesday, Dec. 24, 2025 on a quiet note in a holiday-shortened session, then drifted only slightly in after-hours trading. With U.S. markets closed on Christmas Day (Dec. 25) and set to reopen Friday, Dec. 26, the key “overnight” story for Danaher is less about a dramatic after-hours move — and more about calendar-driven factors (especially the ex‑dividend date) and a handful of headline items investors may see circulating before the next open.

Interac Payments Are Reshaping Ontario iGaming: High-Limit Withdrawals, Cashless Casinos and Privacy Concerns (Dec 24, 2025)

A burst of Canada-focused coverage on Wednesday, December 24, 2025 put a spotlight on a topic that usually lives in the fine print: how players move money in and out of online gambling accounts—and why Interac e-Transfer has become the payment method at the center of the conversation. Across multiple published pieces that day, the same themes kept surfacing: faster payouts, higher withdrawal caps, and a broader push toward cashless gambling experiences—alongside growing anxiety about privacy, data access, and fraud.

RTX Stock After the Bell (Dec. 24, 2025): After-Hours Move, Spain Patriot Deal, Fresh Forecasts, and What to Watch Before the Next Session

RTX Corporation (NYSE: RTX) finished Wednesday’s holiday-shortened trading session higher and then barely moved in late trading, as investors weighed a steady drumbeat of defense demand headlines against lingering commercial-aerospace uncertainty tied to Pratt & Whitney’s geared turbofan (GTF) challenges. With U.S. markets closed on Christmas Day (Thursday, Dec. 25), the next regular session to watch is Friday, Dec. 26, 2025—and the setup for RTX now hinges on whether new contract flow and analyst optimism can keep the stock near its recent highs in a thin, year-end tape.

Morgan Stanley stock capped a strong Christmas Eve session with a solid gain and a finish just shy of its recent 52‑week high — but the bigger story for investors heading into the next trading day is the holiday calendar, thin liquidity, and a growing set of 2026 macro crosscurrents that could matter for big banks and capital-markets firms.

Nvidia, Groq and the $20B Question: What We Know About the AI Inference Licensing Deal and Acquisition Reports

On December 24, 2025, the AI hardware world got a Christmas Eve shock: reports circulated that Nvidia had agreed to a $20 billion deal involving Groq, a fast-rising AI chip startup known for ultra-low-latency inference hardware. But as markets and social media lit up with “acquisition” headlines, Groq published its own update framing what’s actually been announced—a non-exclusive licensing agreement—and it came with a major talent move: Groq’s founder and top executives are heading to Nvidia.

In holiday-thin trading, the greenback fell to fresh multi-month lows against key peers, while investors leaned into a growing view that the Federal Reserve has room to keep cutting rates in 2026, even as other central banks appear closer to the end of their easing cycles.
