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 —

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.

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%.

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.

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

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.

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

CoreWeave stock drops as insider sale filing hits thin year-end trade — what’s next for CRWV

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:40 ET — Regular session CoreWeave Inc shares were down 3.1% at $71.63 on Wednesday afternoon, after an insider sale disclosure drew attention in thin year-end trading. The stock hit a session low of $71.46. The timing matters because trading conditions are patchy heading into the New Year’s Day holiday, when lower liquidity can amplify moves in single names. For a recently listed company with a volatile tape, incremental supply can weigh on sentiment even without new fundamental news. Investors have also been sensitive to funding and dilution risk in capital-intensive AI infrastructure plays. CoreWeave

Lloyds share price steadies after buyback update and BoE rate jitters — what to watch next week

7 February 2026
LONDON, February 7, 2026, 08:48 GMT — Market closed Lloyds Banking Group shares finished Friday higher after the lender flagged another round of share buybacks, helping to steady the stock at the end of a volatile two-day swing driven by shifting expectations for UK interest rates. With London markets closed for the weekend, the focus moves to Monday’s open and whether rate-cut pricing keeps easing pressure on bank earnings.
