Why FICO Stock Is Sliding Today: Fair Isaac Drops in Thin Year-End Trading

Why FICO Stock Is Sliding Today: Fair Isaac Drops in Thin Year-End Trading

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:39 ET — Regular session. Shares of Fair Isaac Corp (FICO) fell 3.8% to $1,680.01 on Wednesday afternoon, extending a year-end slide for the credit-scoring and analytics firm. The drop matters now because trading has thinned into the final session of the year, when portfolio rebalancing and tax-driven selling can move single stocks quickly. Liquidity — the ability to buy and sell without pushing prices sharply — is typically at its weakest around holiday weeks. Broader U.S. stocks were slightly lower in choppy trade, with technology shares slipping, as investors headed into a New Year’s

Ford stock today: F slips in thin year-end session as traders eye insider filing and Feb. 10 earnings

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 03:14 PM ET — Regular session Ford Motor (NYSE: F) shares were down about 0.6% at $13.16 in afternoon trading on Wednesday. The stock has ranged from $13.15 to $13.24, with about 16.5 million shares traded. The move matters now because the final session of the year often brings light volumes and portfolio rebalancing, which can exaggerate routine price swings. Thin liquidity — the ease of buying and selling without moving a stock’s price — can sharpen moves in cyclical names like automakers, where sentiment can shift quickly on macro signals and company updates.

Sunrun stock drops today as Treasury yields tick higher in year-end trading

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:30 ET — Regular session Sunrun Inc. shares fell 3.8% to $18.37 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, extending a pullback in rate-sensitive solar names on the final session of the year. The Nasdaq-listed stock opened at $19.06 and traded between $18.34 and $19.20. The move matters now because residential solar installers are closely tied to interest rates: higher borrowing costs can raise customer monthly payments and pressure the economics of financing-heavy business models. U.S. Treasury yields edged higher after a surprise drop in jobless claims, with the 10-year yield up about 1 basis point —

BillionToOne (BLLN) stock slides 4% in thin year-end trade as investors look to January catalysts

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:27 ET — Regular session. Shares of BillionToOne (BLLN.O) fell about 4% on Wednesday, sliding $3.49 to $81.61 in afternoon trading. The stock has traded between $81.25 and $89.36, with about 243,000 shares changing hands. The move came on the final trading day of 2025, when liquidity is typically thin and price swings can look bigger than the underlying news. “It’s perfectly fine in any bull market to have moments of cost,” said Giuseppe Sette, co-founder and president of Reflexivity, pointing to profit-taking when liquidity is low. U.S. markets are closed on Thursday for New

Rigetti stock price today: RGTI dips in year-end session as tech pullback pressures quantum names

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:21 ET — Regular session. Rigetti Computing Inc (RGTI) shares were down 1.7% at $22.03 by 3:21 p.m. ET on Wednesday, 38 cents below their prior close. The stock traded between $21.96 and $22.65, with about 16.9 million shares changing hands. The move came as Wall Street’s major indexes edged lower in thin year-end trading, keeping pressure on smaller, high-volatility names. “it’s perfectly fine in any bull market to have moments of cost,” said Giuseppe Sette, co-founder and president of Reflexivity. Reuters That matters for Rigetti because late-year liquidity can dry up fast, amplifying intraday

Why Super Micro (SMCI) stock is down today: an exec retirement filing meets year-end AI trade

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:16 ET — Regular session Super Micro Computer, Inc. shares fell 1.7% to $29.15 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, after a regulatory filing showed the AI server maker’s head of operations will retire at year-end. The stock traded between $29.12 and $29.86. The timing matters because Super Micro’s customers care less about buzzwords and more about delivery schedules, power draw and cooling. Any hint of execution risk can move the stock quickly, especially into year-end when liquidity thins and position-squaring can exaggerate swings. The company said Senior Vice President of Operations George Kao will retire

Alignment Healthcare stock rises today despite new insider-sale filings, with ALHC near $20

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:50 ET — Regular session Alignment Healthcare, Inc. shares rose about 3.4% to $19.90 in mid-afternoon trading on Wednesday, after earlier touching $19.93 as the stock fluctuated between $18.83 and $19.93. The move came as investors weighed a cluster of insider-transaction disclosures that can shape sentiment in smaller healthcare names, especially in thin year-end markets. Liquidity has been patchy heading into the New Year holiday, a setup that can magnify price swings. “Profit-taking opportunities” tend to show up “when liquidity was low,” said Giuseppe Sette, co-founder and president of Reflexivity.

Cytokinetics stock jumps today as CYTK traders focus on Myqorzo launch and insider filing

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:52 ET — Regular session Cytokinetics, Incorporated shares rose 3.7% to $63.63 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, after touching $64.40 earlier in the session. The stock traded as low as $60.87, while the S&P 500 tracker and Nasdaq 100 fund were both down about 0.4% to 0.5%. The move matters because Cytokinetics is nearing its first U.S. commercial launch after winning FDA approval for Myqorzo (aficamten) this month. The company has said the drug should be available in the U.S. in the second half of January and will be distributed under a REMS program —

F&G stock drops nearly 3% as Fidelity National’s share distribution hits on Dec. 31

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:56 ET — Regular session Shares of F&G Annuities & Life Inc (FG) fell 2.9% to $30.90 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, after touching a session low of $30.90. The stock traded as high as $32.09 earlier in the day. The move puts a spotlight on an unusual year-end catalyst: new supply of FG shares entering the market via a distribution by its majority owner, Fidelity National Financial (FNF). That matters now because distributions like this can reshape short-term trading. They often bring in shareholders who didn’t choose the stock and may sell quickly, increasing

Freedom Holding stock today: FRHC slides 3% in year-end session as markets drift lower

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:07 ET — Regular session Freedom Holding Corp (FRHC) shares fell about 3% on Wednesday, sliding to $121.99 in afternoon trading after touching an intraday low of $121.64. The drop lands on Wall Street’s final session of 2025, when trading often thins out as investors close books and rebalance portfolios. In a low-liquidity market — meaning fewer buyers and sellers to absorb trades — smaller orders can move prices more than usual. U.S. stocks drifted lower in holiday-thin trading, with tech weighing on the major indexes. “It’s perfectly fine in any bull market to have

Trump offshore wind freeze heads to court as judge seeks classified evidence in Dominion case

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:45 ET A U.S. federal judge in Virginia has delayed Dominion Energy’s bid to quickly restart offshore construction on its Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project, as the court seeks access to classified material the Trump administration says underpins its stop-work order. The next hearing is set for Jan. 16, after the judge directed the government to submit the classified information to the court by Jan. 9 and to say by Dec. 31 whether it would share that material with Dominion’s security-cleared lawyers.

India fires two Pralay missiles back-to-back in salvo test, signalling induction is near

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:29 ET India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Wednesday test-fired two indigenously developed Pralay missiles in quick succession off the coast of Odisha, in a user evaluation trial that officials said underscored the system’s readiness for service. The test matters because user evaluation trials are a late-stage proving process, typically involving the military “users” who will operate the system, and are usually among the final steps before formal induction. It also comes as India continues to strengthen its domestic weapons programme and expand conventional strike options, against the backdrop of long-running rivalry with
