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.

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.

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

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. S&P Global, which houses businesses spanning credit ratings, market intelligence and S&P Dow Jones Indices, earns fees tied to

Synopsys stock (SNPS) heads into 2026 down 1% — what traders watch next

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. Reuters+1 Synopsys is a key supplier of electronic design automation (EDA) software — tools engineers use to design and verify chips before they are manufactured — and it competes closely with

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.
