New York, January 5, 2026, 20:05 (EST) — Market closed Verizon Communications Inc shares ended Monday down 0.7% at $40.23, underperforming a broad Wall Street rally that lifted the Dow to a record high.

New York, January 5, 2026, 19:43 EST — After-hours Western Digital (WDC) shares steadied in after-hours trading on Monday after a whipsaw session that briefly lifted the data-storage maker toward a fresh 52-week peak.
