Motorola Solutions stock today: MSI ends 2025 slightly lower as Wall Street shuts for New Year’s Day

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 5:22 PM ET — Market closed Motorola Solutions (MSI) ended the year slightly lower, closing down $0.53, or about 0.1%, at $383.32 in the last trading session of 2025. U.S. markets were shut on Thursday for New Year’s Day, leaving investors to digest a late-year dip without fresh trading in the stock. Nasdaq The timing matters because year-end positioning can amplify moves when liquidity is thin, and investors are resetting risk ahead of the first full week of 2026. Exchange volume in the final session was lighter than average, Reuters reported. Reuters Wall Street’s main

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:12 ET — Market closed American Express shares ended the year’s final session down about 0.9% at $369.95, as U.S. markets shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday.

Morgan Stanley stock ends 2025 lower as Wall Street shuts for New Year’s Day — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:09 ET — Market closed Morgan Stanley stock (NYSE: MS) ended the last trading day of 2025 lower, closing down 0.9% at $177.53 on Wednesday. U.S. markets are closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day, according to the New York Stock Exchange calendar. Finviz+1 The pullback matters because bank and brokerage shares often move with interest-rate expectations, and the first stretch of January typically resets positioning after year-end. With trading desks lightly staffed around the holiday, even modest flows can push prices. Reuters For Morgan Stanley, the next big checkpoint is close: the investment bank

Newmont stock ends 2025 lower as gold cools — CEO handoff kicks off 2026 focus

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:12 ET — Market closed Newmont Corporation shares closed down 1.97% at $99.85 on Wednesday, the last trading day of 2025, with U.S. markets shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. Wall Street Journal The move matters because gold miners often magnify swings in bullion: costs are relatively fixed in the short run, so small changes in gold prices can quickly change expected cash generation. Newmont also begins 2026 with a leadership transition. The company said President and COO Natascha Viljoen became CEO on Jan. 1, joining the board, after Tom Palmer stepped

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 16:55 ET — Market closed S&P Global Inc (SPGI) shares last closed down 0.97% at $522.59 in the final regular U.S. trading session of 2025, as U.S. markets remained closed on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. Finviz The setup matters because Friday’s reopening marks the first chance for investors to reprice rate expectations and corporate borrowing appetite in 2026 — two macro levers that can quickly change the outlook for market-data and ratings companies.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:06 ET — Market closed. Synopsys shares last closed down about 1% at $469.72 on Wednesday, with U.S. markets shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. Reuters The move matters because the chip-design software group is being pulled between two forces: continued spending tied to artificial intelligence hardware and a late-year wobble in big tech that has investors reassessing positioning into 2026.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 16:58 ET — Market closed Axsome Therapeutics shares jumped about 23% in the most recent session on Wednesday after the company said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration accepted its supplemental application for AXS-05 to treat agitation in Alzheimer’s disease and granted the filing priority review.

DoorDash stock dips on year-end slide as markets shut for New Year’s Day — what’s next for DASH

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:00 ET — Market closed DoorDash, Inc. shares ended the last trading day of 2025 lower, mirroring a broad pullback that capped the year in thin holiday-week trading. The move matters because the first trading sessions of 2026 will test whether investors keep trimming higher-growth consumer internet names or rotate back into them as liquidity returns. For DoorDash, the near-term focus remains demand momentum and cost discipline, two drivers that can swing expectations quickly when the market’s appetite for risk shifts. DASH finished at $226.48 on Wednesday, down 0.7% from the prior close, with about

(ISRG) fell 1.1% to close at $566.36 on Wednesday, the final trading session of 2025, before U.S. stock markets closed for New Year’s Day. Yahoo Finance+1 The year-end dip matters now because the first trading days of January often bring portfolio rebalancing, and high-multiple healthcare names can be sensitive to shifts in risk appetite. For Intuitive, the next key test is whether its upcoming results and outlook keep investors confident in procedure-driven demand for robotic surgery.

The stock last closed up 0.12% at $24.84.
