ITC share price tumbles on new India cigarette tax — what investors watch next

ITC share price tumbles on new India cigarette tax — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 03:07 ET — Market closed ITC Ltd (ITC.NS) fell sharply on Thursday, with the stock last down 8.9% at 367.10 rupees after India notified a higher excise duty on cigarettes. The shares traded between 402.30 and 362.70 rupees. mint The tax shock matters because it feeds directly into retail cigarette prices, and higher prices can curb consumption. Investors also watch whether the gap between legal and illegal prices widens, lifting the illicit market and squeezing reported volumes. India’s finance ministry late on Wednesday set an excise duty — a tax charged on specific goods —

INBS stock whipsaws after Intelligent Bio Solutions lines up $10 million funding

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 03:10 ET — Market closed Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc said late Wednesday it will raise about $10 million in a private placement, sending its shares lower in after-hours trading after a sharp rally earlier in the session. The financing lands as the micro-cap medtech company pitches a faster path to scale for its fingerprint-based drug screening reader, with management pointing to lower production costs and higher profitability ahead of a planned U.S. market entry. Private placements are a common funding route for small companies, but they can dilute existing shareholders — meaning each share represents

Icahn Enterprises (IEP) stock ends 2025 with a pop — here’s what investors are watching next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 03:09 ET — Market closed Icahn Enterprises’ depositary units last climbed 3.4% in the final trading session of 2025, bucking a broader year-end slide in U.S. stocks. The units settled at $7.55 on Wednesday. MarketWatch The move matters because liquidity is thin around year-end, and investors are repositioning into the first full session of 2026 after markets shut for New Year’s Day. That can amplify swings in smaller, higher-yield names. MarketWatch+2New York Stock Exchange+2 Attention has also centered on a recent disclosure tied to Icahn Enterprises’ quarterly distribution.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 03:06 ET — Market closed Nike (NKE) shares ended Wednesday up 4.1% at $63.71 after Chief Executive Elliott Hill disclosed an open-market purchase of 16,388 Class B shares at about $61.10 each, a regulatory filing showed.

Snowflake (SNOW) stock slips under $220 into year-end close as insider sale filings surface

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 21:17 ET — Market closed Snowflake Inc. (SNOW) shares fell 1.2% on Wednesday to $219.36, leaving the stock near the low end of the day’s $218.70-$222.35 range in the final U.S. session of 2025. The move matters because Snowflake sits in a high-growth pocket of software where valuations tend to swing with rate expectations and liquidity. Year-end trading can exaggerate those moves as funds rebalance and investors trim positions. Company-specific headlines were limited, but a cluster of new insider filings put share sales and transfers back on traders’ screens. Those disclosures can draw scrutiny even

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 21:12 ET — Market closed. KLA Corp shares (KLAC) fell 2.3% to $1,215.08 on Wednesday, tracking a pullback in semiconductor equipment stocks in thin year-end trading. The move matters because KLA is widely watched as a read-through on chipmakers’ spending, and the sector has been sensitive to interest-rate swings. Higher yields can pressure long-duration growth stocks — companies whose valuations lean heavily on future earnings. Reuters Treasury yields moved higher after new U.S. jobless claims unexpectedly fell, reinforcing a “higher-for-longer” rates debate heading into 2026.

China is requiring chipmakers to use at least 50% domestically made equipment for any new semiconductor manufacturing capacity, Reuters reported, a step that would steer orders toward local suppliers and away from foreign toolmakers.
