Visa stock slips as escrow-linked share conversion update hits year-end trade

Visa stock slips as escrow-linked share conversion update hits year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:37 ET — Regular session Visa Inc. shares edged lower on Wednesday, down $1.14, or 0.3%, at $352.48 in afternoon trading as investors digested a technical update tied to the payments giant’s U.S. litigation escrow account. The stock traded between $352.08 and $355.13. The filing matters because it highlights how Visa manages certain legacy legal exposures in the United States. Even mechanical changes that touch the share count can feed into earnings per share — a key yardstick for a company that returns significant capital to shareholders. The update also lands as traders position into

Axsome Therapeutics (AXSM) stock jumps 23% after FDA priority review for Alzheimer’s agitation filing

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:41 ET — Regular session Axsome Therapeutics shares jumped 23% in afternoon trading on Wednesday after the company said U.S. regulators accepted its application and granted a faster review for AXS-05 to treat agitation in Alzheimer’s disease. GlobeNewswire The FDA’s acceptance puts a hard deadline on the next major catalyst for Axsome, with an April 30, 2026 decision target that brings clarity to the company’s regulatory timeline. The stock move also stood out against the broader biotech group, which was modestly higher. GlobeNewswire Axsome said the FDA granted “Priority Review,” meaning the agency’s goal is

UHS stock sinks today after CEO contract extension filing — here’s what moved the shares

UHS stock sinks today after CEO contract extension filing — here’s what moved the shares

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:23 ET — Regular session Universal Health Services, Inc. shares were down 2.75% at $218.87 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, extending losses as the hospital operator underperformed its peer group. The stock was down $6.19 from Tuesday’s close and touched $218.59 at the session low, with about 293,000 shares traded. The move matters now because governance and pay disclosures can become a catalyst in thin year-end trading, when investors reassess leadership incentives and stewardship. Hospital operators also enter 2026 facing close scrutiny on costs, staffing and reimbursement — areas where execution can swing margins quickly.

Goldman Sachs stock slips on New Year’s Eve as Fed repo borrowing hits a record

Goldman Sachs stock slips on New Year’s Eve as Fed repo borrowing hits a record

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:39 ET — Regular session Goldman Sachs shares slipped on Wednesday as U.S. stocks drifted lower in holiday-thin trading on the final session of 2025. The stock was down 0.3% at $881.64 after swinging between $876.75 and $886.26 earlier in the day. The muted move still matters because year-end trading can exaggerate small flows. Portfolio rebalancing, tax positioning and balance-sheet constraints often make liquidity patchy, especially in big financial names. Traders were also watching short-term funding markets, where banks and dealers typically hunt for cash at quarter- and year-end. Signs of strain can spill into

Pitney Bowes NT 43 drops 3% today as Treasury yields rise — what’s next for PBI.PRB

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:16 ET — Regular session Pitney Bowes Inc.’s NT 43 — its exchange-listed notes due 2043 — fell 3.0% to $21.04 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, after opening at $21.65. The security traded between $21.00 and $21.72, with volume around 50,000 shares as U.S. 10-year yields moved higher. Investing.com The move matters because NT 43 trades like a stock but behaves like a bond: when market interest rates rise, fixed-rate income securities often fall as investors demand a higher yield. Liquidity can also thin late in the year, amplifying price swings in niche, income-focused listings.

PayPal stock (PYPL) slips on last trading day of 2025 — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:36 ET — Regular session PayPal Holdings (PYPL.O) shares were down 0.5% at $58.83 on Wednesday afternoon, tracking a modest dip in U.S. equities as investors positioned for year-end. The move matters because payments stocks tend to be sensitive to shifts in the economic outlook. Transaction volumes are closely tied to consumer spending, and valuations can swing with interest-rate expectations. Wednesday’s session also came with lighter liquidity ahead of the New Year’s Day holiday, making routine flows look bigger in price action. Reuters U.S. labor-market data provided the main macro headline of the day. Initial

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:34 ET — Regular session Cisco Systems (CSCO.O) shares were up about 0.1% at $77.46 on Wednesday afternoon, after trading between $77.05 and $77.81. About 6.0 million shares had changed hands, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 tracking ETFs were down roughly 0.2% to 0.3%. The muted move came on the final trading day of 2025, with liquidity fading ahead of the New Year holiday. “I do not expect the last few days will have so much bearing on next year,” said Giuseppe Sette, co-founder and president of Reflexivity.

GlobalFoundries (GFS) stock slides after Wedbush downgrade warns chip downturn will last longer

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:25 ET — Regular session Shares of GlobalFoundries Inc (GFS) fell 2.6% to $35.17 by 2:25 p.m. ET on Wednesday after Wedbush downgraded the contract chipmaker, pressuring the stock on the year’s final trading day. The shares touched $35.03 at the session low. The downgrade lands as investors try to pin down when demand will rebound across consumer electronics, industrial gear and autos — end markets that drive factory loadings for chipmakers. For GlobalFoundries, the timing matters because its business depends on keeping fabs busy; when customers cut orders, lower utilization means more fixed costs

Endeavour Silver stock falls in New York trade as silver rout hits miners ahead of China export curbs

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:17 ET — Regular session Endeavour Silver Corp (NYSE: EXK) shares fell 2.7% to $9.54 in early afternoon New York trading on Wednesday. The stock traded between $9.42 and $9.89, with about 9.3 million shares changing hands. The move highlights how quickly sentiment can shift for silver-linked stocks into year-end, after a blockbuster run in the metal. For miners, day-to-day swings in bullion can feed straight through to revenue expectations and risk appetite. A fresh jump in trading costs helped set the tone. CME Group raised margin requirements on gold and silver futures for the

India freezes PPF, SCSS and Sukanya Samriddhi rates for Jan–Mar 2026 — what savers earn now

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:17 ET India’s finance ministry kept interest rates unchanged on a range of post office small-savings schemes for the January–March 2026 quarter, a decision that preserves returns on some of the country’s most widely held household savings products. Public Provident Fund (PPF) stays at 7.1%, while the Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS) and Sukanya Samriddhi Account remain at 8.2%, the ministry said. The Economic Times The rates matter because they set the floor for low-risk household returns just as the new quarter begins on Jan. 1, and many savers make or adjust contributions around year-end.

Chime stock slides nearly 4% in year-end trade as fintechs wobble

Chime stock slides nearly 4% in year-end trade as fintechs wobble

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:38 ET — Regular session Chime Financial (CHYM.O) shares fell about 3.9% to $25.30 on Wednesday, extending a pullback in the consumer fintech stock on the last trading day of 2025. The shares traded between $25.30 and $26.32 after opening at $26.29. The late-December tape is often noisy. Trading volumes can thin out around holidays, and that can amplify swings as investors rebalance books into year-end. That matters for Chime because newer, growth-leaning fintech listings tend to react quickly when investors rotate between riskier names and defensive corners of the market. Rate expectations also loom

Walmart stock slips in thin New Year’s Eve session after CEO sale filing

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:18 ET — Regular session Walmart Inc. (WMT) shares slipped 0.2% to $111.67 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, a subdued New Year’s Eve session for U.S. equities. The stock traded between $111.32 and $112.24 on volume of about 4.2 million shares. The move mattered less for its size than for its timing. With the year closing and many desks lightly staffed, small headlines and routine flows can move prices faster than usual. Walmart is widely watched as a read-through on U.S. household budgets and price sensitivity, given its scale in groceries and general merchandise. U.S.
