NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:06 ET — Regular session Alphabet’s Class C shares (GOOG.O) fell about 0.7% to $312.80 in early Monday trading, giving back ground as U.S. tech stocks eased at the start of the final week of the year.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 09:39 ET — Regular session Broadcom shares fell about 1.4% to $347.37 in early New York trading on Monday, underperforming a softer tech sector as investors turned cautious in the final week of 2025.
