Pfizer stock today: PFE edges up after TD Cowen sticks with Hold as investors size up 2026 outlook

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 13:50 ET — Regular session Pfizer Inc (NYSE:PFE) shares were up about 0.1% at $25.03 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, after moving between $24.92 and $25.10. TD Cowen reiterated its Hold rating and kept a $30 price target, pointing to negative trends in its model through 2030 despite the stock’s dividend yield near 7%. Investing.com The call lands as investors weigh Pfizer’s latest 2026 targets after the drugmaker projected revenue of $59.5 billion to $62.5 billion next year and adjusted earnings of $2.80 to $3.00 a share. “Adjusted” earnings strip out certain items the company

Natural gas price steadies near $4 as UNG stock climbs; traders await fresh U.S. storage data

Natural gas price steadies near $4 as UNG stock climbs; traders await fresh U.S. storage data

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 13:35 ET — Regular session Shares of United States Natural Gas Fund, LP (UNG) climbed on Tuesday as U.S. natural gas prices steadied following a volatile contract rollover. UNG was up 1.6% at $13.26 in midday trading. The move matters because the market is deep in the winter demand season, when small shifts in temperature forecasts can quickly change heating demand. The front-month futures rollover also tends to concentrate liquidity and repositioning into a single contract, which can sharpen price swings. Government data released Monday showed working gas in storage across the Lower 48 states

AI stocks today: Nvidia AI21 buyout talk hits tape as Meta climbs on Manus deal

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 13:31 ET — Regular session Nvidia shares were nearly flat on Tuesday after an Israeli report said the AI-chip leader is in advanced talks to buy startup AI21 Labs for as much as $3 billion.

Reuters The M&A chatter is landing in a holiday-thin week when investors are reassessing crowded AI trades after a late-2025 tech rally stalled on Monday.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 13:30 ET — Regular session XRP rose about 1% on Tuesday to $1.88, hovering near the day’s high after slipping to $1.84 earlier in the session.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 1:29 PM ET — Regular session Bitcoin was up 0.8% at $88,320 on Tuesday afternoon in New York, steadying after recent choppy trading into the final days of the year. The move matters now because thin holiday trading has amplified swings across risk assets, leaving crypto sensitive to fresh signals on U.S. interest rates. Traders are watching whether the Federal Reserve’s next message cements expectations for more easing in 2026. Reuters+1 Markets get a key test at 2 p.m. ET when the Fed releases minutes from its December meeting — the detailed record of policymakers’

Gold price rebounds today as Fed minutes near; GLD and Newmont stocks climb

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 13:25 ET — Regular session Gold prices rebounded on Tuesday and gold-linked shares traded higher in midday U.S. dealings, as investors positioned ahead of Federal Reserve minutes due later in the session. Spot gold was around $4,373 an ounce, up about 1% on the day, according to Kitco data. Kitco The swing matters now because bullion’s late-year volatility is spilling into popular “gold proxy” trades — gold-backed ETFs that hold physical metal and large miners whose profits tend to move with the gold price.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 13:22 ET — Regular session U.S. stocks edged lower in holiday-thin trade on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq near flat as investors waited for the Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes.

Dow Jones today: DJIA slips in thin year-end trade as Fed minutes loom

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 13:24 ET — Regular session The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged lower on Tuesday as investors kept positions tight ahead of Federal Reserve minutes in the final sessions of the year. The blue-chip index was down 57.44 points, or 0.12%, at 48,404.49 by 1:24 p.m. ET, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite were little changed, according to LSEG data.

D-Wave Quantum stock pops today as QBTS outperforms on year-end options buzz

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 1:03 PM ET — Regular session D-Wave Quantum Inc. shares climbed on Tuesday, extending a choppy year-end stretch for quantum-computing stocks as the group again outperformed a flat-to-weaker U.S. market. Reuters The move matters because quantum names have become a high-beta pocket of the tech market, with swings amplified by thin holiday liquidity and active retail trading. Investors.com said the group saw a late-December pop followed by profit-taking in the sessions that followed.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 12:56 ET — Regular session Target Corp shares were down 0.7% at $97.38 in midday trading on Tuesday, lagging a modest dip across retail names. The stock’s move comes as investors keep focus on activist scrutiny of the big-box retailer, a fresh overhang after a report that hedge fund Toms Capital Investment Management has built a significant, but undisclosed, position.

IREN stock slips today as year-end tech jitters hit AI data-center plays

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 12:56 ET — Regular session Shares of IREN Ltd fell 1.4% to $38.87 in midday trading on Tuesday, pulling back after an early climb to $39.94. The slide matters because IREN has become a high-beta proxy for two crowded trades at once: bitcoin-linked miners and AI data-center buildouts. That mix can amplify moves when liquidity thins late in the year and investors rotate out of riskier growth names. Reuters It also keeps attention on capital needs. IREN is building out AI infrastructure, and traders have stayed sensitive to any hint of equity dilution or added
