NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:25 ET — Market closed Seagate Technology Holdings plc shares fell 0.4% to close at $280.08 on Tuesday, after trading between $278.90 and $284.09.

IBM stock slips in thin year-end trade as tech rotation bites; eyes turn to Jan. 28 earnings

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 21:44 ET — Market closed International Business Machines fell 1.2% on Tuesday, ending at $302.05 as the stock eased back from recent highs in the final stretch of the year. Yahoo Finance The timing mattered. Liquidity tends to thin late in December, and that can amplify moves when investors rebalance portfolios heading into year-end. IBM has still gained about 37% so far in 2025, and Tuesday’s drop pushed it below key near-term trend levels that chart-focused traders track. A 50-day moving average — a simple trend gauge that smooths prices over 50 sessions — stood

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:12 ET — Market closed Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: NU) shares climbed 1.3% to $16.88 on Tuesday, ending higher even as Wall Street posted a modest decline in the penultimate session of 2025.

For Nu, the bounce comes after a weaker month. The stock has fallen about 4.7% over the past four weeks, leaving investors watching whether the next earnings update can reset sentiment. Nu traded between $16.60 and $17.11 during the

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:06 ET — Market closed Palo Alto Networks shares finished flat on Tuesday after regulatory filings showed stock sales by two top executives, in muted year-end trading.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 21:29 ET — Market closed Carvana Co. shares fell 0.9% on Tuesday to close at $429.55, after trading between $429.05 and $435.70. Volume was about 1.33 million shares, and the stock was little changed in after-hours trading, which takes place electronically after the 4 p.m. close.
