Lumentum stock rebounds today after Monday slide as year-end trading stays thin

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 12:08 ET — Regular session Lumentum Holdings Inc (LITE.O) shares rose 1.3% to $377.59 in midday trading on Tuesday, paring part of the prior session’s slide. The stock traded between $370.00 and $380.32, with about 800,000 shares changing hands. The move comes as U.S. equities drifted in a narrow range in the final week of the year, with major index proxies little changed to lower. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) was down about 0.1%, while the Nasdaq-100 tracker Invesco QQQ was nearly flat. That backdrop matters for Lumentum because thin holiday trading can exaggerate

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:30 ET — Regular session Intel shares rose 3.8% to $38.08 in morning trade on Tuesday after the chipmaker confirmed Nvidia had completed a $5 billion stock purchase.

P&G stock slips as consumer staples lag — what Wall Street is watching next

NEW YORK, Dec 30, 2025, 12:04 ET — Regular session. Procter & Gamble shares fell modestly on Tuesday, trading at about $143.77, down 0.6% on the day in the middle of the U.S. session. The broader Consumer Staples sector was also lower, keeping pressure on household-products names even as investors typically lean on defensives when growth stocks wobble. For P&G specifically, there was no company announcement flagged in the latest tape that clearly explained the intraday move, leaving the stock trading in line with sector flows. That matters because staples have been trading more like rate-sensitive equities this year: when

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:51 ET — Regular session Boeing shares rose about 1.9% to $221.33 in late-morning New York trading on Tuesday, after the Pentagon announced an $8.6 billion contract for fighter jets bound for Israel.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:24 ET — Regular session Shares of The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. were down 0.9% at $883.73 in late morning trading on Tuesday. The stock traded between $882.43 and $895.39, leaving it just below the $900 level that has acted as a near-term line in the sand for traders. The pullback matters now because Goldman is a bellwether for Wall Street’s risk appetite, and the firm’s earnings are closely tied to market activity.

The move matters because liquidity is thinner than normal in the holiday-shortened week, which can amplify small shifts in sentiment. U.S. markets are closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day, leaving investors a narrow window to adjust portfolios before 2026.
