NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 16:37 ET — After-hours JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE: JPM) shares slipped about 0.1% in after-hours trading on Tuesday to $323.42, after moving between $322.52 and $324.89 during the session.

AMD stock today: After-hours dip tracks year-end chip rotation after Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 16:28 ET — After-hours Advanced Micro Devices shares nudged lower in after-hours trading on Tuesday, keeping the chipmaker close to its regular-session range as investors digested fresh Federal Reserve signals and year-end positioning.

Apple stock slips after Fed minutes as year-end trading thins — what AAPL investors are watching

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 16:06 ET — After-hours Apple Inc (AAPL) shares were last down about 0.2% at $273.18 in Tuesday’s regular session, after trading between $272.28 and $274.00.
