NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 11:06 a.m. ET — Market closed ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE: NOW) stock is heading into the final three trading days of 2025 with investors balancing two very different forces: a thin, holiday-driven tape that can exaggerate moves, and an unusually consequential strategic shift as the enterprise software leader pushes deeper into cybersecurity with its planned Armis acquisition.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 10:49 a.m. ET — Market closed BitMine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: BMNR) is heading into the weekend with a familiar identity in today’s market: a high-beta, publicly traded proxy for Ethereum whose share price can swing sharply on crypto headlines, on-chain flows, and shifting investor sentiment around “digital-asset treasury” strategies.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 10:49 a.m. ET — Market closed International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE: IBM) heads into the final stretch of 2025 with its shares consolidating near the $305 level after a quiet, post-holiday trading week that saw U.S. equities pause—if only slightly—near record territory. With the NYSE closed for the weekend, IBM investors now shift from intraday price action to the next set of catalysts: year-end liquidity dynamics, the ongoing “Santa Claus rally” window, fresh research notes that turned more constructive on IBM’s near-term earnings trajectory, and the countdown to IBM’s next earnings update.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 10:49 a.m. ET — Market closed Bank of America Corporation (NYSE: BAC) is heading into the final stretch of 2025 with its shares sitting near recent highs, while U.S. equity markets remain shut for the weekend. The stock last traded Friday in thin, post-holiday conditions that left Wall Street “catching our breath” after a strong run, as one strategist put it—an environment where low liquidity can exaggerate moves when trading resumes.

Canada Tax Changes 2026: New Federal Tax Brackets, 14% Rate Cut, TFSA & RRSP Limits, CPP and EI Updates

As Canada heads into 2026, the tax story is less about one dramatic overhaul—and more about a cluster of meaningful “moving parts” that will show up in paycheques, contribution room, and planning decisions throughout the year. The headline change is a lower federal tax rate on the first slice of taxable income. But Canadians will also see inflation-adjusted bracket thresholds, updated registered-account limits (TFSA and RRSP), higher CPP ceilings (including CPP2 for higher earners), and a fresh round of Employment Insurance updates. Meanwhile, ahead of the 2026 filing season, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has been under pressure to improve

(NYSE: IONQ) stock is heading into the final trading days of 2025 with momentum still split between two powerful narratives: growing commercial traction for quantum hardware and networking, and persistent concerns that the share price has been discounting a best-case future far ahead of today’s fundamentals.
