NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:17 ET — After-hours Home Depot (HD) shares ended Monday down 0.67% at $347.45 and were little changed in after-hours trading, tracking a broad market dip as investors weighed new housing data and the outlook for rate-sensitive consumer names into year end. FinancialContent+1 The home-improvement retailer is closely tied to the U.S. housing cycle because moves, remodels and repairs tend to rise when more homes change hands and homeowners feel less squeezed by borrowing costs.

Uber stock holds near $81 after hours as traders eye Fed minutes and Uber’s next earnings

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:11 ET — After-hours Uber Technologies Inc (UBER) shares closed up 0.3% at $81.50 on Monday and dipped 0.1% to $81.44 in after-hours trading.

IonQ stock today: IONQ slips after hours as South Korea 100‑qubit deal hits tape

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:03 ET — After-hours IonQ, Inc. shares fell 1.6% to $45.25 in after-hours trading on Monday after the quantum computing company said it had finalized an agreement to deliver a 100‑qubit system to South Korea’s Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI). IonQ Investors The announcement matters because investors have pushed quantum stocks around on thin evidence of near-term revenue. On-premises system deliveries tied to national research programs can offer clearer milestones than cloud-only access. IonQ said it will deliver a 100‑qubit “Tempo 100” quantum system and integrate it into KISTI‑6 (“HANGANG”), which it

Visa stock slips in after-hours as Wall Street cools in year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:08 ET — After-hours As of 7:08 p.m. ET, Visa Inc. shares were down 0.1% at $354.61 in after-hours trading. The stock traded between $353.83 and $356.54 on the day.

In that kind of tape, broad shifts in risk appetite can matter more than company-specific headlines. Visa is watched as a proxy for consumer and business activity because it earns fees when card payments run over

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:03 ET — After-hours Caterpillar Inc (CAT.N) shares were down 0.7% at $578.61 in after-hours trading on Monday. The stock traded between $574.97 and $583.56 during the session, with about 2.6 million shares changing hands.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 18:56 ET — After-hours ServiceNow Inc shares rose about 0.5% in after-hours trading on Monday to $154.58. The modest move comes as investors head into the final trading days of the year weighing whether the enterprise-software sector’s rich valuations can hold up against softer tape and company-specific execution risks. Those risks are back in focus for ServiceNow after its recent burst of dealmaking, including a planned $7.75 billion purchase of cybersecurity firm Armis, and as analysts reset targets into 2026.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 18:30 ET — After-hours Citigroup shares fell Monday, ending down 1.9% at $118.13, after the bank disclosed it expects a roughly $1.2 billion pre-tax loss tied to its exit from Russia. Investing.com+1 The update matters now because it lands in the current quarter’s results, weeks before Citi reports, and it puts a price tag on a long-running clean-up effort that investors have watched closely.

Arby’s quietly closes more locations as fast-food chains retrench into 2026

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 18:26 ET Arby’s is quietly closing some restaurant locations in the United States, renewing questions about how the 60-year-old sandwich chain is navigating an uneven fast-food market. Yahoo Finance The issue matters now because restaurant operators are heading into 2026 with customers still sensitive to price increases, while labor and rent remain elevated. For franchise-heavy chains, closures can quickly reshape local competition and shift sales to nearby stores. It also underscores how even established brands are tightening their footprints as they chase higher average sales per restaurant. Wendy’s interim CEO Ken Cook, announcing a separate

IREN stock drops after hours as bitcoin eases and tech pullback cools year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 18:37 ET — After-hours IREN Limited shares fell about 2.3% in after-hours trading — the session after the 4 p.m. close — and were last at $39.41. The stock traded between $38.55 and $42.25 on Monday, with volume near 21.9 million shares.
