Bank of America stock dips as Fed repo borrowing hits a record at year-end

Bank of America stock dips as Fed repo borrowing hits a record at year-end

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:02 ET — Regular session Bank of America Corporation shares were down about 0.3% in afternoon trading on Wednesday as year-end funding-market flows and rate expectations set the tone for U.S. financial stocks. The move matters now because big banks are sensitive to shifts in short-term funding costs, which can filter into trading conditions and overall financing appetite heading into 2026. At year-end, liquidity often tightens as institutions trim balance sheets. It also comes ahead of a January stretch of catalysts that can reset expectations for Federal Reserve policy and the rate backdrop banks face.

IonQ stock today: IONQ edges lower in year-end session as South Korea quantum deal stays in focus

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 2:57 PM ET — Regular session IonQ, Inc. shares dipped in afternoon trading on Wednesday as investors navigated the final session of the year with light volumes and a cautious tone. The stock was down 0.1% at $45.26. The muted move matters because IonQ sits in a small group of quantum-computing stocks that have been prone to sharp swings on headlines, with year-end positioning often exaggerating daily price action. Risk appetite was already fragile as U.S. stocks slipped in holiday-thin trading, with technology weighing on the broader market even as the main indexes remained on

ServiceNow stock slips in year-end trade as thin volumes hit growth names — what to watch next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:52 ET — Regular session ServiceNow shares edged lower on Wednesday as investors pared risk in thin year-end trading on Wall Street. The enterprise software maker’s stock was down about 0.3% at $153.81. The muted move came as major U.S. indexes drifted lower in the final session of 2025, with technology stocks slightly weaker on the day. “I do not expect that the last few days will have so much bearing on the performance of the next year,” Giuseppe Sette, co-founder and president of Reflexivity, said, pointing to profit-taking when liquidity is low.

Pfizer stock today: PFE slips after report on 2026 U.S. drug price hikes

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:53 ET — Regular session Pfizer shares were down 0.1% at $24.96 in afternoon trade on Wednesday after a Reuters report said the drugmaker plans U.S. list-price hikes on about 80 medicines in 2026. Reuters The planned increases, set to start Jan. 1, land at a sensitive moment for drug pricing as the Trump administration presses the industry to lower costs. Annual list-price resets can also shape negotiations with insurers and the political risk premium investors apply to large drugmakers. Pfizer’s own outlook has put a spotlight on revenue durability. In its December guidance, Pfizer

Visa stock slips as escrow-linked share conversion update hits year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:37 ET — Regular session Visa Inc. shares edged lower on Wednesday, down $1.14, or 0.3%, at $352.48 in afternoon trading as investors digested a technical update tied to the payments giant’s U.S. litigation escrow account. The stock traded between $352.08 and $355.13. The filing matters because it highlights how Visa manages certain legacy legal exposures in the United States. Even mechanical changes that touch the share count can feed into earnings per share — a key yardstick for a company that returns significant capital to shareholders. The update also lands as traders position into

Axsome Therapeutics (AXSM) stock jumps 23% after FDA priority review for Alzheimer’s agitation filing

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:41 ET — Regular session Axsome Therapeutics shares jumped 23% in afternoon trading on Wednesday after the company said U.S. regulators accepted its application and granted a faster review for AXS-05 to treat agitation in Alzheimer’s disease. GlobeNewswire The FDA’s acceptance puts a hard deadline on the next major catalyst for Axsome, with an April 30, 2026 decision target that brings clarity to the company’s regulatory timeline.

Goldman Sachs stock slips on New Year’s Eve as Fed repo borrowing hits a record

Goldman Sachs stock slips on New Year’s Eve as Fed repo borrowing hits a record

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:39 ET — Regular session Goldman Sachs shares slipped on Wednesday as U.S. stocks drifted lower in holiday-thin trading on the final session of 2025. The stock was down 0.3% at $881.64 after swinging between $876.75 and $886.26 earlier in the day. The muted move still matters because year-end trading can exaggerate small flows. Portfolio rebalancing, tax positioning and balance-sheet constraints often make liquidity patchy, especially in big financial names. Traders were also watching short-term funding markets, where banks and dealers typically hunt for cash at quarter- and year-end. Signs of strain can spill into

PayPal stock (PYPL) slips on last trading day of 2025 — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:36 ET — Regular session PayPal Holdings (PYPL.O) shares were down 0.5% at $58.83 on Wednesday afternoon, tracking a modest dip in U.S. equities as investors positioned for year-end. The move matters because payments stocks tend to be sensitive to shifts in the economic outlook. Transaction volumes are closely tied to consumer spending, and valuations can swing with interest-rate expectations. Wednesday’s session also came with lighter liquidity ahead of the New Year’s Day holiday, making routine flows look bigger in price action.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:18 ET — Regular session Walmart Inc. (WMT) shares slipped 0.2% to $111.67 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, a subdued New Year’s Eve session for U.S. equities. The stock traded between $111.32 and $112.24 on volume of about 4.2 million shares. The move mattered less for its size than for its timing. With the year closing and many desks lightly staffed, small headlines and routine flows can move prices faster than usual. Walmart is widely watched as a read-through on U.S. household budgets and price sensitivity, given its scale in groceries and general merchandise. U.S.
