Newmont stock today: NEM ends higher as gold rebounds after sharp year-end swings

Newmont stock today: NEM ends higher as gold rebounds after sharp year-end swings

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 20:23 ET — Market closed. Newmont Corp (NEM) shares closed up about 2% on Tuesday at $101.86, even as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq ended modestly lower in holiday-thin trade. Reuters The move matters heading into the final session of 2025 because Newmont’s stock remains tightly tethered to bullion, and gold has been whipping around on year-end position changes. That volatility has forced fast shifts in risk appetite across the mining sector, with miners often moving more than the metal itself as investors reset exposure. Spot gold rose 0.8% to $4,364.70 an ounce by mid-afternoon

Super Micro (SMCI) stock slips after ops-chief retirement filing; what traders watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 20:14 ET — Market closed. Super Micro Computer (SMCI.O) shares closed down 1.4% at $29.65 on Tuesday after the server maker disclosed that its senior vice president of operations will retire at the end of 2025, according to a regulatory filing. Yahoo Finance+2Super Micro Computer+2 The timing puts fresh attention on execution at a company that depends on tight production schedules to ship high-end servers used in artificial intelligence data centers, with its December quarter ending on Wednesday.

Applied Digital stock slides after ChronoScale cloud spinout plan with Ekso; APLD traders eye Jan. 7 earnings

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 20:18 ET — Market closed Applied Digital shares fell 2.9% to $24.08 on Tuesday, retreating from early gains as investors weighed the company’s plan to spin out its cloud computing business into a proposed tie-up with Ekso Bionics. The Nasdaq-listed stock traded between $24.03 and $26.33, with about 25.5 million shares changing hands. The proposal matters because Applied Digital has become a high-volatility bet on the buildout of artificial intelligence infrastructure. GPU clouds—built around graphics processing units that do much of the heavy lifting for AI training—demand large upfront spending and steady access to capital.

Verizon stock edges higher in thin year-end trade as investors line up for Jan. 30 earnings

Verizon stock edges higher in thin year-end trade as investors line up for Jan. 30 earnings

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 20:15 ET — Market closed Verizon Communications Inc (NYSE: VZ) shares rose 0.54% to $40.70 at the close on Tuesday, after trading between $40.42 and $40.77. The stock was down 0.12% in late after-hours trading. StockAnalysis The move matters because Verizon is a widely held, cash-generative telecom name that investors often use for defensive exposure when trading turns choppy. With volumes thin into year-end, even small shifts in positioning can show up in steady, high-liquidity stocks such as Verizon. Communication services shares were among the biggest gainers on the S&P 500 even as the index

FTAI Aviation stock jumps as “FTAI Power” targets AI data-center electricity crunch

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 20:02 ET — Market closed FTAI Aviation Ltd. (NASDAQ: FTAI) shares jumped on Tuesday after the aircraft engine lessor and maintenance provider launched a new business aimed at supplying electricity to AI-focused data centers. The stock was last up 14.4% at $197.68, after trading between $170.84 and $199.84. The announcement tapped into a market anxiety that has moved from tech into heavy industry: power availability. Large “hyperscalers” — the biggest data-center operators — are hunting for generation that can be deployed faster than traditional grid buildouts. FTAI said it formed “FTAI Power” to convert CFM56

PepsiCo stock price today: PEP holds $144 as Fed minutes cap year-end trading

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 20:02 ET — Market closed. PepsiCo (PEP.O) was last down 0.1% at $144.16 after the close on Tuesday, after ending the regular session at about $144.25. The stock traded between $143.81 and $145.22 during the session. The muted move matters now because markets are repricing the path for U.S. interest rates into 2026. Minutes released Tuesday from the Federal Reserve’s Dec. 9-10 meeting showed officials were deeply divided over a quarter-point cut that lowered the benchmark overnight rate to a 3.5% to 3.75% range.

Texas Instruments stock today: TXN holds near $175 in late after-hours as Fed minutes, year-end flows mute chip trade

Texas Instruments stock today: TXN holds near $175 in late after-hours as Fed minutes, year-end flows mute chip trade

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 19:59 ET — After-hours Texas Instruments (TXN.O) shares were little changed at $175.42 in late after-hours trading on Tuesday, after slipping 0.15% in the regular session. The muted move matters because Texas Instruments is a bellwether for “analog” chips — components that translate real-world signals such as temperature or sound into electrical data — and the stock often tracks shifts in risk appetite when trading is thin into year-end. That dynamic was on display as investors rotated within mega-cap technology and watched interest-rate expectations. “It’s just a healthy rebalancing of allocations,” said Mark Hackett, chief

PayPal stock slips after Fed minutes in thin year-end trade — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 19:56 ET — After-hours PayPal Holdings, Inc. shares dipped about 0.7% to $59.10 in after-hours trading on Tuesday, the session after the 4 p.m. close, after a quiet day for markets. The move matters because PayPal is a rate-sensitive consumer payments name, and investors are re-pricing what “higher for longer” means heading into 2026. It also comes in holiday-thin trading, when relatively small flows can push stocks around more than usual, especially in big, widely held fintech names. U.S. stocks ended slightly lower as gains in communication services were offset by declines in tech and

Abbott stock today: ABT rises as Exact Sciences deal filing and Volt AFib device stay in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 19:51 ET — After-hours Abbott Laboratories (ABT.N) shares rose 0.97% to $125.78 in Tuesday’s regular session and held steady in after-hours trading. ABT quote The move lands as investors reprice 2026 catalysts for large-cap healthcare, where product cycles and deal timelines can matter more than day-to-day macro noise. Abbott has two big threads in play: a planned push deeper into cancer screening through a major acquisition and a newly cleared heart-rhythm device in a fast-developing market. Both can influence revenue mix and margins, which feed directly into valuation. In the broader tape, U.S. stocks ended

Caterpillar stock today slips after hours as AI data-center power demand stays in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 7:46 PM ET — After-hours Caterpillar Inc (NYSE:CAT) shares were down about 0.2% at $577.39 in after-hours trading on Tuesday, a small move that followed a narrow regular-session range. The stock traded between $575.68 and $580.95. The muted move still matters into the final U.S. trading day of the year because Caterpillar has become a crowded way to express two themes at once: demand for heavy equipment tied to construction and mining, and a newer wave of spending on power equipment for artificial intelligence, or AI, data centers. Year-end liquidity is thin, which can amplify
