Dow Jones today: DJIA slips after Fed minutes; Boeing pops on $8.6B Pentagon deal

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:41 ET — After-hours The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended Tuesday slightly lower as investors parsed Federal Reserve minutes and trimmed exposure into year-end. The blue-chip index fell 94.87 points, or 0.2%, to 48,367.06. Reuters The soft finish comes with one more U.S. trading session left in 2025, a period when reduced liquidity can magnify small shifts in positioning. For the Dow, which is price-weighted, moves in higher-priced components can have an outsized impact on the index. Trading stayed subdued in a holiday-thinned market, with many investors already winding down activity for the year, the

Meta’s Manus AI deal lifts META as S&P 500 slips in thin year-end trade; Fed minutes in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:42 ET — After-hours U.S. stocks finished modestly lower on Tuesday, with Meta Platforms climbing on an AI acquisition that helped offset weakness in technology and financial shares. The S&P 500 fell 0.14% to 6,896.24, the Nasdaq Composite slid 0.23% to 23,419.08 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 0.20% to 48,367.06. Reuters The subdued close mattered because trading desks are heading into the final session of 2025 with holiday-thinned liquidity, a setup that can exaggerate price swings. Investors have also started to rotate within the market after last week’s rally pushed the S&P 500
Cisco stock slips in year-end trade as Fed minutes keep CSCO investors cautious

Cisco stock slips in year-end trade as Fed minutes keep CSCO investors cautious

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:34 ET — After-hours Cisco Systems’ shares closed down 0.49% on Tuesday and edged up slightly in after-hours trading, tracking a muted late-December tape for U.S. technology stocks. The timing matters. With only a handful of sessions left in 2025, thin liquidity can amplify moves in large-cap names, and investors are rebalancing portfolios ahead of early-January data and policy events. Cisco sits near the center of that recalibration because investors treat it as a read-through on enterprise IT budgets and the networking buildout tied to artificial intelligence workloads. Cisco closed at $77.41 and traded as

Coinbase stock dips after-hours as Needham slashes target, flags weak crypto volumes

Coinbase stock dips after-hours as Needham slashes target, flags weak crypto volumes

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:20 ET — After-hours Coinbase Global shares slipped in after-hours trading on Tuesday after Needham lowered its price target on the crypto exchange operator, pointing to a weaker outlook for trading activity. TipRanks The call matters because Coinbase’s results are closely tied to trading volumes — the amount of buying and selling on its platforms — which can cool when price momentum fades and retail investors step back. TipRanks That dynamic is back in focus heading into year-end, when liquidity thins and swings in crypto-linked stocks can be amplified by small shifts in risk appetite.

Ekso Bionics stock nearly doubles as Applied Digital cloud deal points to ChronoScale pivot

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:27 ET — After-hours Ekso Bionics Holdings Inc shares nearly doubled on Tuesday, ending up about 94% at $10.58 after the company outlined a deal that would combine Applied Digital’s cloud computing business with the Nasdaq-listed EKSO.

Exxon Mobil stock edges up after-hours as oil holds steady and energy sector leads year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:10 ET — After-hours Exxon Mobil (XOM) shares ticked higher in after-hours trading on Tuesday, rising about 0.4% to $120.99 as of 5:10 p.m. ET. The stock traded between $120.63 and $121.75 during the session, with volume around 11.1 million shares. The move mattered because Exxon and its peers tend to track crude oil prices, and oil has swung on geopolitics into the final stretch of the year. Trading has also been thinner than usual, which can amplify sector moves. Energy led the S&P 500’s sector performance, with the energy sub-index up 0.8% as fading

Eli Lilly stock ticks up after hours as China price cuts put Mounjaro, Wegovy in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 5:08 PM ET — After-hours Eli Lilly shares were up 0.1% in after-hours trading on Tuesday at $1,079.75 after a Reuters report said it and Novo Nordisk are lowering prices of their top-selling obesity drugs in China. Reuters The pricing move matters because investors have treated Lilly’s obesity franchise as a main growth engine, helping support a premium valuation. A sharper-than-expected push to discount in large markets can pressure margins, even if it expands the customer base. It also lands as drugmakers pivot toward cash-pay channels — patients paying out of pocket, rather than relying
