Nebius (NBIS) stock slips after insider sale notices hit SEC filings in thin year-end trade

Nebius (NBIS) stock slips after insider sale notices hit SEC filings in thin year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:45 ET — After-hours Nebius Group N.V. shares slid on Monday after SEC filings showed founder Arkady Volozh and two other insiders planned share sales around year-end. The stock was down 1.8% at $86.04 in late trade. SEC+2SEC+2 The notices matter now because NBIS has been a high-beta trade — a stock that tends to swing more than the market — and additional supply can weigh on prices when liquidity is thin in the final days of the year. The filings landed as U.S. stocks dipped broadly, with the Nasdaq ending down 0.5%. “We’re seeing

Adobe stock slips after hours as Semrush sets Feb. 3 vote on $12-a-share deal

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:44 ET — After-hours Adobe Inc. (ADBE) shares slipped 0.2% to $353.16 in after-hours trading on Monday, a session that runs after the market’s 4 p.m. close. Semrush Holdings said in a definitive proxy statement — the document used to seek shareholder votes — that stockholders of record as of Dec. 26 will vote on Feb. 3 on Adobe’s all-cash offer of $12 a share. The proxy statement is dated Dec. 29 and is first being mailed on or about Dec. 31, the filing showed. The filing puts a firm date on a key hurdle

Binance’s $49B stablecoin pile grabs attention as $69B sits on exchanges

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:40 ET Stablecoins worth about $69 billion are sitting on centralized crypto exchanges, with roughly 71% concentrated on Binance, according to on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant. Source The concentration matters because stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to keep a steady value—often pegged to the U.S. dollar—and are widely used as cash-like collateral for trading. When those tokens sit on exchanges, traders can deploy them quickly into bitcoin or other assets. Large exchange balances can also amplify moves if sentiment turns and flows hit the market at once. CryptoQuant data cited by CryptoPotato showed total stablecoin supply reached
Meta snaps up Manus AI agent startup as it races to sell “digital employees”

Meta snaps up Manus AI agent startup as it races to sell “digital employees”

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:43 ET Meta Platforms said on Monday it would acquire Manus, a Chinese artificial intelligence startup whose software can operate as a “digital employee” for tasks such as research and automation. https://www.reuters.com/world/china/meta-acquire-chinese-startup-manus-boost-advanced-ai-features-2025-12-29/ The deal lands as Big Tech pushes “AI agents” — programs that can carry out multi-step work with limited direction — from demonstrations into tools that people and companies will pay to use. Meta said it will operate and sell the Manus service and integrate it into its consumer and business products, including Meta AI. Financial terms of the deal were not released,
Carvana stock dips after hours as year-end selling pressure builds — what investors are watching next

Carvana stock dips after hours as year-end selling pressure builds — what investors are watching next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:34 ET — After-hours Carvana Co. shares fell about 1.1% to $433.55 in after-hours trading on Monday, tracking a broader pullback in risk-sensitive stocks at the start of the final week of the year. The move matters now because year-end trading can amplify swings as investors rebalance portfolios and liquidity thins. For higher-volatility names like Carvana, small shifts in risk appetite can translate into outsized moves. Reuters+1 Carvana’s business is also closely tied to credit conditions because many buyers use financing for used-car purchases, making demand sensitive to interest-rate expectations. Treasury yields eased on Monday
Rigetti stock today: RGTI slips as year-end profit-taking cools quantum computing shares

Rigetti stock today: RGTI slips as year-end profit-taking cools quantum computing shares

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:32 ET — After-hours Rigetti Computing shares were down about 0.4% at $22.27 in after-hours trading on Monday, after swinging between $21.54 and $22.75 during the session. About 33.6 million shares changed hands, according to market data. The move comes as investors take profits in a volatile pocket of “pure-play” quantum computing stocks — companies whose main business is quantum technology — during thin holiday trading, Investors.com reported. Rigetti ended the regular session down 0.5% while D-Wave Quantum rose 3.4% and IonQ fell 1.6%; Rigetti is up about 46% in 2025, though the group remains

Boeing stock edges up after-hours as Pentagon posts $8.6 billion F-15 deal — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:30 ET — After-hours Boeing stock (BA) was up 0.4% at $217.25 in after-hours trading on Monday after the Pentagon posted an $8.6 billion award for Israel’s F-15 program. Boeing traded between $215.18 and $218.35 during the session. Reuters The headline matters because Boeing’s defense business can add long-dated revenue visibility while investors scrutinize whether the broader turnaround is sticking. New contract wins help support backlog, but they do not settle the near-term debate around execution and cash generation that has dominated trading in the stock. It also lands in thin, year-end markets, when single
American Airlines stock drops after-hours as Winter Storm Ezra disrupts flights, oil jumps

American Airlines stock drops after-hours as Winter Storm Ezra disrupts flights, oil jumps

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:32 ET — After-hours American Airlines Group Inc shares fell about 2% in late after-hours trading on Monday, extending losses after weather snarled U.S. holiday travel. The stock was down 31 cents at $15.14 in extended trading, which continues after the 4 p.m. ET market close. The timing matters for airlines. Major winter disruptions during the year-end travel crush can trigger a costly domino effect of cancellations, missed connections and repositioning aircraft and crews. Fuel is the other pressure point. Airline stocks often track oil because jet fuel is a core expense, and sudden crude
Pfizer stock slips after hours: what traders are watching ahead of Feb. 3 results

Pfizer stock slips after hours: what traders are watching ahead of Feb. 3 results

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:33 ET — After-hours Pfizer Inc (NYSE: PFE) shares were down 0.3% at $25 in after-hours trading on Monday, after moving in a tight band during the regular session. The Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund slipped and large-cap drugmakers traded mixed in late dealings. The move mattered mainly for timing. With just a handful of sessions left in the year and New Year’s around the corner, many investors are adjusting portfolios rather than reacting to fresh company headlines. That leaves Pfizer’s stock trading more on positioning and its most recent guidance than on day-to-day

Spotify stock slips after-hours as piracy-scrape update and new features keep SPOT in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:30 ET — After-hours Shares of Spotify Technology S.A. (NYSE: SPOT) fell about 0.6% to $581.19 in after-hours trading — the period after the 4 p.m. ET close — after ranging between $577.29 and $586.53 earlier in the session. The move came as Wall Street ended lower ahead of the New Year holiday, with the Nasdaq down 0.5% as heavyweight technology stocks retreated from last week’s gains, Reuters reported. Investors are also watching Federal Reserve meeting minutes and weekly jobless claims later this week in an otherwise light data calendar. Reuters For Spotify, the pullback

Bloom Energy stock today: BE slips after hours as Clear Street lifts target, keeps Hold

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:24 ET — After-hours Bloom Energy Corporation (NYSE: BE) shares fell nearly 2% in after-hours trading on Monday, even after broker Clear Street raised its price target while maintaining a Hold rating on the fuel-cell maker. The stock was at $88.41 after the bell, and traded between $86.20 and $92.50 during the session. GuruFocus+1 The analyst update matters because Bloom has become a high-beta proxy for the race to secure power for AI data centers, a theme that has driven sharp moves across the stock in 2025. Brookfield Asset Management said in October it would

PayPal stock dips after-hours as tech pullback cools year-end rally mood (PYPL)

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:13 ET — After-hours PayPal Holdings, Inc. shares fell 0.8% in after-hours trading on Monday, last at $59.49, extending a soft start to the final week of 2025. The move matters because holiday-week liquidity is thin, and price swings can get exaggerated as funds rebalance portfolios into year-end. That can leave stocks like PayPal, which often trade with broader risk sentiment, vulnerable to short-term jolts. It also comes with investors focused on the U.S. rate outlook. Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s prior meeting and weekly jobless claims are due later this week, and any shift
