BitMine Immersion (BMNR) stock edges up after-hours after $13.2B crypto stash update — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 18:44 ET — After-hours BitMine Immersion Technologies, Inc. shares were up 0.8% in late after-hours trading on Monday at $28.54, after trading between $27.80 and $29.60 during the session. The move matters because BitMine has become a crypto-treasury stock, meaning investors often trade it as a proxy for the cryptocurrency it holds on its balance sheet. That can amplify swings when token prices move or when the company signals new buying plans. Crypto prices softened into year-end trading, a backdrop that can pull crypto-linked equities with it.

Newmont stock tumbles after-hours as gold slides; Fed minutes next on traders’ radar

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 18:35 ET — After-hours Newmont Corporation (NEM) shares fell about 5.6% to $99.81 in after-hours trading on Monday, in deals struck after the 4 p.m. close. The stock traded between $97.84 and $103.93, with roughly 9.6 million shares changing hands by 6:35 p.m. ET. The drop matters because Newmont has been a key, high-volume proxy for the precious-metals trade. When the underlying metal price turns, miners often move more sharply as investors reprice expected cash flow. It also comes in the final week of the year, when holiday-thinned liquidity and portfolio rebalancing can amplify swings.

GE Vernova stock flat after-hours as year-end trading thins; what investors watch next for GEV

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 6:16 PM ET — After-hours GE Vernova Inc shares were little changed in after-hours trading on Monday after finishing the regular session essentially flat, even as U.S. stocks ended lower to start the final week of 2025. The pause matters because GE Vernova has become one of the market’s most closely watched “power buildout” names, and year-end sessions often amplify positioning as fund managers lock in gains or rebalance. Investors have bid up power and grid suppliers on expectations that electricity demand from data centers will keep climbing, leaving the stock sensitive to any new

Nike stock today: NKE edges up after-hours as UBS survey points to improving brand strength

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 18:19 ET — After-hours. Nike shares ticked higher in after-hours trading on Monday after a UBS survey pointed to improving brand strength, while broader U.S. equities finished the day in the red. The move matters now because investors have been looking for early evidence that Nike’s reset is showing up with consumers, not just in management talking points. Surveys on brand perception and product “findability” can lead reported sales, especially as Nike tries to rebuild distribution and reduce discounting. Nike’s stock has been sensitive to incremental signals on demand and inventory, after recent results revived

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 18:16 ET — After-hours AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) shares closed down 0.7% at $71.47 on Monday and were last up about 0.7% at roughly $72.00 in after-hours trading. The stock ranged from $69.69 to $74.89 during the session.

Lumentum stock slides late as year-end tech pullback hits AI optics names

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 18:08 ET — After-hours Lumentum Holdings Inc shares fell 4.6% to $372.61 in after-hours trading on Monday, after dropping as much as 6.7% earlier in the session. The stock traded between $364.50 and $390.00, with about 3.0 million shares changing hands. The slide came as investors eased off higher-risk technology positions in the final week of the year, when thinner liquidity can magnify moves in momentum names. That matters for Lumentum because it has become closely tied to expectations for AI infrastructure spending. The company sells optical and photonic products — light-based components used to

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 6:06 PM ET — After-hours Bank of America shares fell 1.5% in after-hours trading on Monday to $55.35, giving back ground as big banks retreated with the broader market. The stock traded between $55.28 and $56.32 during the session, with about 21.0 million shares changing hands. The late dip lands at a sensitive moment for rate-linked financial stocks. Investors have been recalibrating how fast the Federal Reserve might cut rates next year, a shift that can change how much lenders earn on their core lending business. That matters because banks’ earnings are heavily tied to

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 18:01 ET — After-hours UnitedHealth Group Incorporated shares fell 0.9% to $328.94 in after-hours trading on Monday, after a report said its UnitedHealthcare unit is postponing a policy that would have tightened reimbursement for remote physiologic monitoring starting Jan. 1, 2026.

Exxon stock climbs as oil rallies; late U.S. inventory build lands after the bell

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:52 ET — After-hours Exxon Mobil Corporation shares rose 1.2% to $120.53 in Monday’s regular session and were little changed in after-hours trading, after crude prices finished sharply higher. ExxonMobil+1 The stock often trades as a proxy for oil because Exxon’s upstream business sells crude and natural gas, making cash-flow expectations sensitive to commodity prices. Its refining business can move differently, since lower crude feedstock costs can support margins if fuel demand holds.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:50 ET — After-hours Walmart Inc (WMT.N) shares rose 0.7% to $112.53 in after-hours trading on Monday, as investors weighed an insider-sale disclosure and a defensive tilt in late-year positioning. SEC The filing matters now because markets are moving on lighter volumes into year-end, a period when single-stock headlines can draw outsized attention even if the underlying change is modest.
