Carvana stock dips to $422 as 2025 ends lower — what CVNA investors watch next

Carvana stock dips to $422 as 2025 ends lower — what CVNA investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:58 ET — Market closed Carvana Co (CVNA) shares closed down 1.7% at $422.02 on Wednesday, the last U.S. trading session of 2025, as investors wrapped up a holiday-shortened week before Wall Street’s New Year’s Day closure. The stock traded between $421.95 and $430.30. The dip matters because Carvana has been a high-volatility momentum stock, leaving it sensitive to shifts in risk appetite and year-end portfolio positioning. It also comes at a time when liquidity — the ability to buy or sell without moving the price — is thin, which can exaggerate swings. U.S. stocks

Shopify stock price today: SHOP ends 2025 lower as New Year break shifts focus to jobs data and earnings

Shopify stock price today: SHOP ends 2025 lower as New Year break shifts focus to jobs data and earnings

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 16:03 ET — Market closed Shopify Inc. (SHOP) shares last closed down 1.7% at $160.97 in the year’s final session on Dec. 31, after trading between $160.55 and $164.21. About 4.2 million shares changed hands. The late-year dip matters because Shopify is treated as a “long-duration” growth stock — one whose expected profits sit further out — making it more sensitive to shifts in interest-rate expectations. That sensitivity is back in focus heading into early January, when traders typically recalibrate risk after holiday-thinned trading and start positioning for the first major economic releases of the

Uber stock ends 2025 lower as UK ‘taxi tax’ contract rewrite report surfaces

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:51 ET — Market closed. Uber Technologies’ shares last closed down 0.5% at $81.71 on Dec. 31, after a UK report said the company is rewriting contracts with drivers outside London to shift value-added tax liability ahead of a rule change due Friday. U.S. markets were closed on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. LBC+1 The British rule change would add 20% VAT — a sales tax — to private-hire journeys in London booked through apps such as Uber and Bolt from Jan. 2, the London Standard reported. “The Government’s action today to change

Big Bear’s $1.05M “House of Bear” cabin is for sale — and it’s being pitched as a turnkey rental business

Big Bear’s $1.05M “House of Bear” cabin is for sale — and it’s being pitched as a turnkey rental business

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:52 ET A Scandinavian-inspired cabin in Big Bear City, California, is listed at $1.05 million and is being marketed as a ready-to-run short-term rental business, according to property listings and a Realtor.com feature published within the last day. https://www.realtor.com/news/unique-homes/scandinavian-cabin-big-bear-california-lucrative-business/ Realtor+1 The pitch matters because sellers are increasingly selling more than a set of keys. They are selling a revenue narrative — bookings, brand presence and operational handoffs — to would-be hosts. That marketing push has grown alongside short-stay platforms such as Airbnb and Vrbo, which have broadened the pool of investors looking at vacation homes

Verizon stock holds near $41 on New Year’s Day market closure as earnings loom

Verizon stock holds near $41 on New Year’s Day market closure as earnings loom

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:50 ET — Market closed Verizon Communications Inc. shares last closed at $40.73 on Wednesday, up 0.07% in the final session of 2025. U.S. stock markets are closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day and reopen on Friday. Zacks The pause matters for Verizon because the stock is widely held for income and tends to trade with shifts in rate expectations. Investors are using the holiday break to reset positions ahead of a heavy early-January calendar. Verizon’s dividend yield — the annual payout relative to the share price — sits well above the broader market.

Citigroup stock today: Citi shares edge lower as $1.2 billion Russia-exit hit heads into Q4 books

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:45 ET — Market closed. Citigroup shares ended the year’s final session modestly lower as investors weighed an accounting hit tied to the bank’s planned exit from Russia. The stock last closed down 0.4% at $116.69 on Wednesday, with U.S. markets shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. Nasdaq In a filing, Citi said its board approved the sale of its Russian unit, AO Citibank, to Renaissance Capital and expects a pre-tax loss of about $1.2 billion in the fourth quarter.

Super Micro (SMCI) stock dips after-hours after liquid‑cooled SuperBlade launch

Super Micro (SMCI) stock dips after-hours after liquid‑cooled SuperBlade launch

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:42 ET — Market closed. Super Micro Computer shares were last down about 1.3% at $29.27 in extended trade, after ending Dec. 31 at $29.67. The move keeps the AI server maker in focus after a year marked by sharp swings in hardware names tied to data-center spending. For Super Micro, product cadence matters because customers typically buy systems in volume once they standardize a design. The timing also matters for the broader “AI buildout” trade, as companies race to add computing power. Elon Musk said xAI has bought a third building to expand infrastructure

AbbVie stock ends 2025 lower as markets shut for New Year — what ABBV investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:38 ET — Market closed AbbVie Inc. shares last closed down 0.5% at $228.49 on Wednesday, the final U.S. trading session of 2025, with Wall Street closed on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. Reuters The market closure matters because AbbVie and other large-cap drugmakers often act as a defensive trade when investors reassess risk at the start of a new year. With liquidity returning in the next session, traders will be watching whether late-December selling pressure persists. Reuters U.S. stocks ended lower on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 down 0.74%, the Nasdaq off

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 3:27 PM ET — Market closed Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.N) shares fell 1.18% to $93.20 on Wednesday, marking a fourth straight daily decline in the year’s final session. Trading was light at about 7.6 million shares, and the stock ended about 2.8% below its 52-week high of $95.85 set on Dec. 24, MarketWatch data showed.

KLA stock today: KLAC ends 2025 with a slide as chip-tool names cool; earnings next in focus

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:29 ET — Market closed Shares of KLA Corp fell 2.3% to $1,215.08 at Wednesday’s close, outpacing declines in chip-tool peers Applied Materials, down 1.1%, and Lam Research, down 1.5%. The pullback matters because KLA is a bellwether for semiconductor manufacturing spending, selling process-control tools that help chipmakers spot defects and improve yields — the percentage of usable chips produced. Investors have leaned heavily into chip-linked names on the back of AI-driven demand, and the sector is now heading into the first major checkpoint of 2026: guidance for the next leg of capital spending.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:22 ET — Market closed. Adobe Inc (ADBE) closed down 0.7% at $349.99 in Wednesday’s final trading session of 2025, leaving the stock just under the $350 mark as U.S. stock markets closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day. AP News The move matters now because holiday-thin liquidity can magnify swings in widely held software names, and investors are resetting positions into 2026 after a tech-led year. For Adobe, the near-term setup is also shaped by a gap between company catalysts. With the next earnings report not due until March, the stock can trade more

Disney stock today: DIS slips as $10M FTC kids-privacy order, “Zootopia 2” record hit grab focus

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:25 ET — Market closed Walt Disney shares ended 0.9% lower in the final U.S. trading session of 2025 on Wednesday, before markets shut for New Year’s Day. The move came as investors weighed a fresh regulatory headline around how the company labels children’s content on YouTube. Why it matters now is less the size of the penalty than the reminder that privacy compliance can quickly become a market issue for ad-driven media businesses. Streaming platforms have leaned harder into advertising, and any suggestion of weak controls around kid-focused content can raise questions about oversight
