ASPC Stock Pops in Thin Holiday Trading: Why A SPAC III Acquisition Corp. Turned Volatile—and What to Watch Before Monday

New York (as of 12:04 a.m. ET, Saturday, Dec. 27, 2025): U.S. stock markets are closed for the weekend. That closure matters because A SPAC III Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: ASPC) just delivered the kind of move that tends to echo into the next session—especially in late-December conditions, when liquidity is often thinner and price swings can get weird fast. On Friday, U.S. stocks finished slightly lower in subdued, post‑Christmas trading—a calm tape on the surface. AP News But ASPC wasn’t calm at all. As of the last available quote late Friday (after the close), ASPC traded around $24.01, up roughly

XPeng Stock (NYSE: XPEV) Surges on Qatar Launch as Wall Street Weighs 2026 AI Plans, Deliveries, and Analyst Price Targets

NEW YORK — As of 12:03 a.m. ET on Saturday, December 27, 2025, U.S. stock markets are closed for the weekend. XPeng Inc.
