Cisco stock today: CSCO heads into Jan. 2 ex-dividend as Wall Street reopens

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 7:07 PM ET — Market closed Cisco Systems (CSCO) shares will return to trading on Friday with the stock set to go ex-dividend, a calendar event that can sway near-term price action. The shares last closed down about 0.5% at $77.03. The timing matters because Jan. 2 marks the first U.S. trading day of 2026 and post-holiday liquidity — how easily shares change hands without moving the price — can be thin. Dividend-related flows can magnify moves when company news is light. Cisco heads into the reopening after U.S. stocks ended 2025 lower, with the

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 18:59 ET — Market closed Shares of CRISPR Therapeutics AG ended the last trading session of 2025 down 1.4% at $52.44. U.S. stock markets were closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day, according to the NYSE holiday calendar.

Zeta Global Holdings Corp shares last closed down 2.2% at $20.35 on Wednesday, the final U.S. trading session of 2025, with markets closed on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. Investing The pause matters because holiday-thinned trading can exaggerate moves, and investors are setting positions for 2026 after a strong year for equities.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 18:48 ET — Market closed RTX’s Pratt & Whitney Canada unit has settled an antitrust lawsuit accusing it of blocking competition in sales of used regional aircraft engines and parts, a court filing showed. RTX shares (RTX.N) last closed down 0.33% at $183.40 on Dec. 31, the final session of 2025. The plaintiff, Universal Turbine Parts, had sought more than $150 million in damages; settlement terms were not disclosed.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 06:40 PM ET — Market closed POET Technologies Inc. shares ended the year’s final session down 2.9% at $6.33, after a late-December pullback in tech and semiconductor-linked stocks. U.S. markets were closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day. Nasdaq+1 The move matters now because holiday-thin trading can magnify swings in smaller stocks, and investors are resetting positioning for the first session of 2026. “It’s perfectly fine in any bull market to have moments of cost,” said Giuseppe Sette, co-founder and president of Reflexivity, pointing to profit-taking when liquidity was low.

Visa stock dips to end 2025 as Class B conversion filing lands

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 18:23 ET — Market closed Visa Inc shares ended the final trading day of 2025 down 0.8% at $350.71, as investors digested a new filing on the payments network’s restricted Class B share conversion rates. The stock traded between $350.71 and $355.13 in the session, market data showed.
