CoreWeave stock slips after-hours as year-end trading thins and AI-infra nerves linger

CoreWeave stock slips after-hours as year-end trading thins and AI-infra nerves linger

NEW YORK, Dec 29, 2025, 5:54 PM ET — After-hours. CoreWeave shares were last down 1.9% at $74.92 in after-hours trade on Monday, after a volatile regular session that left the AI-cloud infrastructure stock under pressure into year-end. The move matters because CoreWeave has become a high-beta bellwether for “AI infrastructure” risk appetite — the trade that thrives when investors are willing to underwrite big capital spending for GPU-heavy data centers, and stumbles when financing and execution worries take center stage. Seeking Alpha+1 Monday’s slide also showed how quickly sentiment can turn in thin, late-December liquidity, when modest flows can

Rocket Lab stock slips on year-end profit taking, then nudges higher after hours — what’s driving RKLB now

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:43 ET — After-hours Rocket Lab Corp shares fell 0.75% to $70.12 at the regular-session close on Monday, then rose 0.46% to $70.44 in after-hours trading, according to Google Finance data. Google The moves matter because Rocket Lab’s sharp run has made it a crowded trade into year-end, and after-hours trading can amplify swings on lighter liquidity. Investors are also trying to pin down how quickly large defense awards translate into revenue and cash flow for a company still building scale. Google+1 Rocket Lab traded against a softer U.S. tape. Wall Street’s main indexes ended

Costco stock slips after hours as year-end trading thins and January sales update looms

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:45 ET — After-hours Costco Wholesale shares fell 0.6% in after-hours trading on Monday to $867.84. The dip comes as investors head into the final two trading sessions of 2025 with holiday liquidity thin and little company-specific news to reset near-term expectations. Reuters Costco’s stock has become a high-profile gauge for how well big-box retailers can hold demand without heavy discounting, helped by its membership-fee model. Those fees are a key profit driver because they carry much higher margins than most of the goods sold in warehouses. Nasdaq+1 U.S. stocks closed lower on Monday, with
Eli Lilly stock today: LLY inches up as weight-loss pill pricing, insider filing keep spotlight on obesity drugs

Eli Lilly stock today: LLY inches up as weight-loss pill pricing, insider filing keep spotlight on obesity drugs

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:45 ET — After-hours Shares of Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) were up 0.2% at $1,078.73 in after-hours trading on Monday. The stock traded between $1,074.80 and $1,085.12 and about 1.64 million shares had changed hands. The modest move masked a bigger debate underway in the obesity-drug trade: pricing and access. Investors are watching whether Lilly can widen uptake without giving away too much margin. Pills sit at the center of that calculus because they may lower barriers for patients who avoid injections. A shift toward out-of-pocket buying also changes who sets the rules —
Sandisk stock slips after-hours as tech retreat cools year-end trade

Sandisk stock slips after-hours as tech retreat cools year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:33 ET — After-hours Sandisk Corp shares fell 2.4% to $244.25 in after-hours trading on Monday, after swinging between $236.64 and $249.84 during the session. The move came as Wall Street’s main indexes ended lower, led by declines in heavyweight technology and AI-linked names. “It’ll turn out to be a buying opportunity,” said Hank Smith, director and head of investment strategy at Haverford Trust, while noting that the week ahead is light on data apart from Federal Reserve minutes and weekly jobless claims. Reuters Why it matters now: Sandisk has been one of the market’s
JPMorgan stock falls in after-hours as year-end selloff hits bank shares

JPMorgan stock falls in after-hours as year-end selloff hits bank shares

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:35 ET — After-hours JPMorgan Chase & Co. shares slid 1.3% on Monday and were last at $323.75 in after-hours trading. The decline matters because big banks are tightly linked to the direction of interest rates. When yields fall, investors often assume lending margins and some trading activity will cool, pressuring expectations for bank earnings. The timing also coincides with thin, holiday-shortened trading, when positioning around quarter- and year-end can amplify moves. That backdrop has pushed investors to focus on both rates and short-term liquidity conditions. U.S. stocks ended lower, with Treasury yields easing as
Coinbase stock slips after-hours as Needham cuts target on weak crypto volumes

Coinbase stock slips after-hours as Needham cuts target on weak crypto volumes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 5:36 PM ET — After-hours Coinbase Global shares fell about 1.3% to $233.77 in late after-hours trading on Monday after Needham cut its price target on the crypto exchange to $290 from $400. “Retail volumes typically remain muted until momentum returns,” Needham analyst John Todaro wrote. TipRanks The call matters because Coinbase’s results are closely tied to how actively customers trade crypto. The company runs a platform for retail and institutional clients and sells both transaction products and subscription-and-services offerings, making trading activity a key swing factor for revenue from quarter to quarter.

Check your freezer: Forward Farms grass-fed ground beef recalled over E. coli O26 in 6 states

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:27 ET Mountain West Food Group, LLC is recalling about 2,855 pounds of raw ground beef sold under the Forward Farms label because it may be contaminated with E. coli O26, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said in a notice dated Saturday. GovDelivery+1 The beef was shipped to distributors in California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Pennsylvania and Washington, according to reports citing the agency.

Netflix stock slips after hours as tech cools into year-end; Warner deal, earnings in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 4:49 PM ET — After-hours Netflix, Inc. shares slipped in after-hours trading on Monday, down 0.3% at $94.15. The muted move comes as investors head into the final sessions of the year with Netflix’s proposed Warner Bros Discovery transaction still dominating the company’s near-term narrative. Reuters That matters now because year-end trading can be thin, and deal headlines or financing updates can move merger-linked stocks quickly even when the broader tape is quiet. Reuters+1 Netflix agreed in early December to buy Warner Bros Discovery’s TV and film studios and streaming division for $72 billion. Under

Oracle stock falls in late trade after SEC filing shows planned sale by executive (ORCL)

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:43 ET — After-hours Oracle shares fell 1.3% in after-hours trading on Monday to $195.38, after an SEC filing showed an Oracle executive filed to sell a block of shares. SEC+1 The disclosure matters because trading has been thin into year-end, when incremental flows can push large-cap software names around. It also keeps attention on insider activity at a time when investors are debating how quickly Oracle’s cloud growth will translate into cash generation. Oracle has positioned its cloud business as a supplier of computing capacity for artificial intelligence workloads, but that push requires heavy

Robinhood (HOOD) slips after-hours as Needham trims target, flags weak crypto volumes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:11 ET — After-hours Robinhood Markets, Inc. shares fell 0.6% to $117.43 in after-hours trading on Monday, outside the regular 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. session, after Needham cut its price target to $135 from $145 while reiterating a buy rating. The brokerage trimmed estimates across the crypto-asset sector, saying it expects continued weakness in crypto trading volumes for the next couple of quarters and that retail activity often stays muted until momentum returns. The stock traded between $115.69 and $118.88 during the session, with about 15.3 million shares changing hands. TipRanks The call matters

Natural gas price jumps after EIA storage draw; UNG and BOIL climb in late stock trading

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 5:17 PM ET — After-hours U.S. natural gas-linked funds rose in after-hours stock trading on Monday, tracking a firming in natural gas prices after a colder weather outlook and a government report showing a sizable storage withdrawal. Hellenic Shipping News+1 Why it matters now: winter gas trading is dominated by weather-driven demand and storage swings, and both can move quickly when forecasts change. Investors in gas ETFs and gas-heavy producers are watching whether early-season withdrawals keep inventories tight.
