Pfizer stock flat after hours as TD Cowen sticks with Hold; Feb. 3 results ahead

Pfizer stock flat after hours as TD Cowen sticks with Hold; Feb. 3 results ahead

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 19:40 ET — After-hours Pfizer Inc. shares were little changed in late after-hours trading on Tuesday, down about 0.02% at $24.99, after moving between $24.92 and $25.10 in the regular session. After-hours trading is the session after the 4 p.m. ET close, when volumes can be thinner and moves can be sharper. The quiet tape does not mean investors have gone quiet on Pfizer. Traders have been treating the stock as a test case for whether Big Pharma can defend cash flows as pandemic-era sales fade and older blockbusters face cheaper rivals. That backdrop has
IREN Limited stock slips after-hours as crypto-miner peers retreat into year-end

IREN Limited stock slips after-hours as crypto-miner peers retreat into year-end

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 19:38 ET — After-hours Shares of IREN Ltd fell 2.8% to $38.30 in after-hours trading on Tuesday, giving back ground late in a holiday-thin session. The Nasdaq-listed company operates data centers and has roots in bitcoin mining. The pullback matters now because IREN has become a high-beta name — one that tends to swing more than the broader market — tied to two fast-moving trades: crypto risk appetite and AI data-center demand. That combination can amplify both rallies and selloffs. The stock’s latest dip comes as investors continue to weigh how the company funds its

Booking Holdings (BKNG) stock slips after Fed minutes; traders eye what’s next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 19:36 ET — After-hours Booking Holdings shares ended Tuesday down 0.26% at $5,427.15 and eased 0.16% to $5,418.57 by 7:18 p.m. ET in after-hours trading, the session after the New York close. Trading in the stock itself was muted, with about 135,000 shares changing hands, roughly half its 65-day average volume. That kind of light tape can make small shifts in risk appetite show up faster in high-priced consumer names. The timing matters because investors are heading into the final U.S. trading session of the year with interest rates back in focus. Booking is often

Rivian stock drops 5% after CEO share-sale filing as year-end trading thins

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 19:28 ET — After-hours Rivian Automotive, Inc. shares fell on Tuesday after a regulatory filing disclosed Chief Executive R.J. Scaringe sold stock under a pre-arranged trading plan. The shares closed down about 5.2% at $19.60 and were little changed in after-hours trading. StockAnalysis The timing matters. With U.S. markets in holiday-thin mode and just one session left in 2025, modest headlines can move high-beta stocks more sharply than usual. Reuters Rivian also traded against a macro backdrop that has kept pressure on rate-sensitive growth names. Federal Reserve minutes released Tuesday underscored divisions around the December
SoFi stock dips as year-end trading cools fintech rally; earnings date looms next

SoFi stock dips as year-end trading cools fintech rally; earnings date looms next

NEW YORK, Dec 30, 2025, 07:28 PM ET — After-hours. SoFi Technologies shares fell in Tuesday trading and steadied after hours as investors headed into the final sessions of the year with few fresh company-specific catalysts. Yahoo Finance The fintech lender and financial-services platform ended the regular session around $26.56, down roughly 1%, and traded near $26.55 in after-hours action. Yahoo Finance The move mattered because SoFi has been a high-beta name in 2025, swinging with expectations for interest rates and risk appetite, and the stock’s valuation has stayed a live debate after a strong run earlier in the year.

Shopify stock slides today as year-end tech rebalancing hits SHOP ahead of New Year’s Eve session

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 19:19 ET — After-hours Shopify Inc shares fell $4.13, or 2.5%, to $163.74 on Tuesday and were little changed in late after-hours trading. The slide puts Shopify (SHOP) in focus heading into the final U.S. trading day of 2025, when year-end positioning can amplify moves in high-beta stocks. “High beta” is Wall Street shorthand for shares that tend to swing more than the broader market. Rates are also back in the driver’s seat for growth names. Investors often treat high-growth stocks like Shopify as sensitive to interest-rate expectations because more of their value rests on

Disney stock barely budges after-hours as DOJ cites $10 mln YouTube kids-privacy settlement

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 19:19 ET — After-hours Walt Disney (DIS) shares were little changed in after-hours trading on Tuesday after the U.S. Justice Department said the company agreed to pay a $10 million civil penalty to settle allegations it violated children’s online privacy laws in some videos uploaded to YouTube. Reuters The settlement matters because it targets how content makers label kid-directed videos online — a designation that can determine whether platforms collect data and serve targeted ads. Privacy enforcement has become a recurring headline risk for media groups as more viewing and marketing shifts to digital platforms.

Adobe stock slips after hours as year-end tech rotation caps trading — what to watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 7:22 PM ET — After-hours Adobe Inc. shares dipped in after-hours trading on Tuesday, down 0.2% at $352.51, after moving between $350.10 and $355.24 during the session. The move matters now because U.S. trading is entering the final, thinly traded stretch of the year, when small shifts in positioning can push single stocks around more than usual. It also comes as investors have been rotating within megacap and software names after a strong run into year-end, with some money shifting away from crowded technology trades. On Wall Street, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq finished slightly

Uber stock rises after-hours as insider filing and court fight draw attention

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 19:11 ET — After-hours Uber Technologies (UBER) shares rose 0.8% to $82.12 in after-hours trading on Tuesday, after earlier moving between $81.50 and $82.49. The ride-hailing company’s stock held up as U.S. equities ended slightly lower in holiday-thin trading, a period when lighter volumes can make individual names more sensitive to filings and legal headlines. “The valuation gap is so wide, it absolutely is justified to see repositioning,” said Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide, describing rotation across sectors. Reuters For Uber investors, that sensitivity is amplified by a steady drumbeat of litigation and

ServiceNow stock edges lower, steadies after hours as deal-spree scrutiny grows

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 19:14 ET — After-hours ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW) shares edged lower on Tuesday as investors weighed fresh scrutiny of the software maker’s acquisition binge, and held steady in after-hours trading. The stock closed down 0.24% at $154.23, after trading between $153.32 and $155.22 on about 5.1 million shares. The enterprise workflow company is heading into year-end with deal risk back in focus. Big acquisitions can accelerate growth, but they also raise integration and financing questions that investors tend to price in quickly, especially when trading volumes are thin. A Bloomberg report on Monday said ServiceNow has

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 19:10 ET India Post will discontinue selected outward international letter-mail services from Jan. 1, 2026, as it aligns with decisions taken by the Universal Postal Union, the government said on Tuesday.

Nike stock today: CEO Elliott Hill buys $1 million in shares as NKE steadies after hours

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 19:11 ET — After-hours Nike shares were little changed in after-hours trading on Tuesday after Chief Executive Elliott Hill bought about $1 million of the athleticwear maker’s stock, a regulatory filing showed.
