NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 09:11 PM ET — Market closed Warner Bros Discovery’s Series A shares were down 1 cent, or 0.04%, at $28.79 on Monday. The stock is trading like a deal-arbitrage play, with investors trying to price the odds of rival bids for the media group and the timing of what comes next. Paramount Skydance is pursuing a $30-per-share all-cash tender offer, while Netflix has a board-backed cash-and-stock agreement on the table.

Verizon stock ends flat at $40 as VZ sets Jan. 30 earnings date; traders watch Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:04 ET — Market closed Verizon Communications Inc shares ended Monday flat at $40.48 and were last down 0.1% at $40.44 in after-hours trading after the carrier said it will report fourth-quarter results on Jan. 30. StockAnalysis+1 The announcement locks in the next near-term catalyst for a stock that has been rangebound into year-end, with investors focused on how carriers navigated holiday promotions and customer switching. That matters because Verizon’s quarterly update is one of the few hard datapoints left on the calendar before January, when trading volumes often pick up and rate expectations can

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:01 ET — Market closed The Coca-Cola Company (KO.N) shares closed up 0.4% at $70.16 on Monday, holding in positive territory as U.S. stocks ended lower in holiday-thinned trading. The move comes as investors rotate toward defensive consumer staples — companies whose sales tend to stay steadier when growth fears rise — after a late-December rally in big technology stocks cooled.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:12 ET — Market closed Western Digital Corp shares slipped 1.0% on Monday to close at $179.68, after swinging between $176.70 and $184.77 in choppy year-end trade. StockAnalysis The move matters because Western Digital has been one of 2025’s standout AI infrastructure winners, helped by demand for high-capacity hard drives used in AI data centers.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:04 ET — Market closed Super Micro Computer (SMCI.O) shares fell 1.8% on Monday to close at $30.08 after the server maker disclosed an operations leadership change in a regulatory filing. Investing.com+1 The change matters because Super Micro’s growth story depends on execution — building and shipping complex, high-powered servers used in artificial intelligence data centers. The company has faced investor scrutiny this year after it cited delivery delays tied to last-minute design changes. Reuters Monday’s move also came as investors trimmed exposure to large technology stocks that have led 2025’s rally, leaving little appetite

Mortgage rates in 2026: Why Fed cuts may not lower home loans as much as buyers hope

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:06 ET U.S. mortgage rates have edged down to about 6.18% for a 30-year fixed loan, but economists say Federal Reserve rate cuts may not translate into a big drop in 2026. The issue matters as the housing market heads into the new year with affordability still tight and millions of would-be buyers waiting for financing to ease. The Fed wrapped up 2025 with another quarter-point cut in early December, its third cut of the year, CBS News reported. (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fed-rate-cuts-mortgage-rates-what-buyers-can-expect-in-2026-experts-say/) Even modest rate moves are showing up in demand. The National Association of Realtors said

Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) stock slides as metals retreat from record highs; Fed minutes next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 20:51 ET — Market closed Freeport-McMoRan shares fell on Monday as a sharp pullback in precious metals and copper knocked mining stocks lower heading into the New Year. The copper producer’s stock ended down 2.9% at $51.48. FinancialContent The move matters now because Freeport’s earnings tend to swing with metals prices, and the latest selloff hit after a year-long rally pushed several contracts to record levels. The year-end calendar can amplify price moves as trading liquidity thins and positioning gets reset. Reuters Gold and silver are closely watched as broader sentiment gauges for metals and

Circle stock today: CRCL slips as year-end trading thins and prediction-market bets come into focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 20:41 ET — Market closed Circle Internet Group, Inc. shares ended down about 0.9% at $80.51 on Monday, after trading between $79.00 and $82.96 as volumes thinned in the final week of the year. The move matters because Circle is one of the most visible publicly traded plays on stablecoins — cryptocurrencies designed to hold a steady value, typically pegged to the U.S. dollar — and the stock has become sensitive to shifts in risk appetite and rates. Circle’s core earnings engine is reserve income, the interest generated on assets held against its USDC stablecoin.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 20:50 ET — Market closed MongoDB, Inc. (MDB) shares closed down 2.9% on Monday at $423.14 after the database company posted a security update on a vulnerability informally called “MongoBleed.” The stock traded between $420.90 and $435.00 during the session. FinancialContent+1 Why this matters now: MongoDB’s software sits at the center of many applications, so urgent patching can trigger emergency maintenance, downtime risk and tough questions from customers about data protection.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 20:55 ET — Market closed DoorDash (DASH.O) shares fell 1.2% on Monday to close at $231.01, underperforming a broadly weaker session on Wall Street as holiday-thinned trading drained momentum from growth stocks. The move comes as investors try to square upbeat demand signals with a company that has warned it plans to spend more aggressively in 2026, a posture that can pressure near-term profits even when revenue keeps rising. With only a few sessions left in 2025, money managers are also rebalancing portfolios and harvesting gains, a dynamic that can amplify swings in stocks with

Marvell supplies data infrastructure semiconductor solutions spanning the data center core to the network edge, and also develops chips tailored to specific customer designs for artificial intelligence and other networking-heavy workloads.
