UPS stock slips under $100 — and its 6.6% dividend is back in the spotlight

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:47 ET United Parcel Service shares slipped below $100 on Monday morning, keeping the package carrier’s dividend yield near 6.6% as investors weighed the company’s overhaul and whether the payout can be sustained.

Silver breaks $80 then tumbles nearly 8% as precious-metals rally stalls

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 11:03 ET Silver prices slid sharply on Monday after a frenzied rally pushed the metal above $80 an ounce and to a record intraday high. Reuters The retreat matters because silver’s surge has been one of the biggest across major commodities this year and has pulled other metals to fresh highs, before profit-taking set in. Reuters The selloff comes as markets head into the final days of the year with holiday-thinned trading, which can exacerbate price swings. Reuters Spot silver was down 7.9% at $72.87 per ounce by 9:57 a.m. ET, off a record $83.62

Sam Walton’s trust play resurfaces as Walmart gets the “never sell” treatment

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 11:03 ET Key points Financial commentators are revisiting how Walmart founder Sam Walton structured his family’s stake — and why some investors still pitch Walmart shares as a long-term defensive holding. Benzinga+1 The renewed focus lands as Walmart’s stock trades around $112 and has climbed about 24% so far this year, according to Benzinga, amplifying the value of the family’s holdings. Benzinga Why it matters now: keeping shares inside family-controlled vehicles can help preserve voting control and reduce the risk of big ownership shifts that can come with divorces and inheritances, a theme highlighted in

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:42 ET U.S. stocks started the final week of 2025 on a softer note on Monday as heavyweight technology shares retreated, nudging the S&P 500 away from recent highs while it remained within striking distance of the 7,000 level. Reuters The late-December rally has left investors looking for a smooth year-end finish, with major indexes poised for another year of double-digit gains and traders watching whether the seasonal “Santa Claus rally” holds into early January.

Nio’s new ES8 hits 40,000 deliveries in 100 days — and the ramp is speeding up

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:42 ET Nio Inc said on Monday it had delivered the 40,000th unit of its third-generation ES8, a flagship three-row electric SUV, roughly 100 days after the model launched. CnEVPost+1 The milestone lands as the Chinese EV maker heads into year-end with investors watching whether higher-priced models can keep momentum in a fiercely competitive home market dominated by heavy discounting and fast product launches. Nio guided in November for fourth-quarter deliveries of 120,000 to 125,000 vehicles, below an earlier goal of 150,000, and said it aimed for its first non-GAAP quarterly profit — a measure

Silver ETFs slide as silver retreats from $83 record, rattling late-year buyers

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:30 ET Silver-backed funds slid on Monday after the metal reversed from fresh records. iShares Silver Trust (SLV) fell to about $65 and Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV) traded below $24, each down about 8% by 10:18 a.m. ET, according to market data. Reuters The move matters because silver’s surge has pulled more investors into exchange-traded vehicles that track bullion, compressing the trade into products that can swing sharply when the metal turns.

D-Wave stock steadies after brutal pullback as Wall Street targets clash

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:07 ET D-Wave Quantum shares were little changed on Monday as the stock tried to stabilize after a sharp pullback that has renewed debate over how to value early-stage quantum-computing companies. Shares traded at about $25.35 in morning trade. The swings matter because U.S.-listed “pure-play” quantum stocks — companies focused mainly on quantum rather than diversified technology businesses — have become one of the market’s most volatile corners into year-end.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:28 ET Silver tumbled from a fresh record high above $80 an ounce on Monday as investors locked in gains heading into the final days of 2025. Reuters The move matters now because precious metals have been among the year’s biggest winners, and the abrupt pullback underscores how quickly crowded trades can unwind in thin, holiday-affected markets.
