Mechanics Bancorp stock today: MCHB in focus ahead of Fed minutes and a key asset-sale timeline

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 05:02 ET — Premarket Mechanics Bancorp shares ended the last session up 3.5% at $14.67, heading into the final trading week of 2025 with the lender’s rate-sensitive setup back in focus. StockAnalysis The timing matters now because thin year-end trading can amplify moves, and banks tend to react sharply when the market reprices the path of interest rates.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 04:51 ET — Premarket Shares of Skeena Resources (SKE) slipped 1.8% to $24.97 in premarket trading on Monday, after the Canadian gold-silver developer finished Friday’s session up 3.8% at $25.42.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 04:43 ET — Premarket Shares of NIO Inc were up 1.6% at $5.18 in premarket trading on Monday, following a report that the Chinese electric-vehicle maker is relying more heavily on battery giant CATL.
