Intel (INTC) stock jumps after Nvidia closes $5 billion share purchase

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:30 ET — Regular session Intel shares rose 3.8% to $38.08 in morning trade on Tuesday after the chipmaker confirmed Nvidia had completed a $5 billion stock purchase. The transaction lands as Intel looks to reinforce its finances after years of missteps and capital-intensive production expansions, with the Nvidia investment seen as a key lifeline. Reuters In a Form 8-K — a filing companies use to disclose material events between quarterly reports — Intel said it issued and sold 214,776,632 shares to Nvidia for $5.0 billion in cash, or $23.28 per share, and that the

Harmony Gold (HMY) stock rebounds in premarket as gold steadies after CME margin jolt

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 08:30 ET — Premarket Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited’s U.S.-listed shares were up 3.4% at $20.63 in premarket trading on Tuesday, steadying after a sharp selloff in the gold complex a day earlier. Public The bounce matters because gold-linked stocks have been trading in lockstep with bullion as a late-year rally pushed precious metals to record territory. When futures exchanges raise margin — cash required to hold a contract — leveraged traders often trim positions quickly, amplifying moves across the sector. Gold rebounded on Tuesday, with spot prices up 1.3% at $4,387.29 an ounce, as

P&G stock slips as consumer staples lag — what Wall Street is watching next

NEW YORK, Dec 30, 2025, 12:04 ET — Regular session. Procter & Gamble shares fell modestly on Tuesday, trading at about $143.77, down 0.6% on the day in the middle of the U.S. session. The broader Consumer Staples sector was also lower, keeping pressure on household-products names even as investors typically lean on defensives when growth stocks wobble. For P&G specifically, there was no company announcement flagged in the latest tape that clearly explained the intraday move, leaving the stock trading in line with sector flows. That matters because staples have been trading more like rate-sensitive equities this year: when

Boeing stock rises on $8.6 billion Pentagon F-15 deal for Israel as investors weigh defense backlog

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:51 ET — Regular session Boeing shares rose about 1.9% to $221.33 in late-morning New York trading on Tuesday, after the Pentagon announced an $8.6 billion contract for fighter jets bound for Israel. Reuters The defense award matters now because investors have been leaning on any sign of steadier, longer-dated revenue as Boeing works through a multi-year operational reset. Big defense programs can help smooth results while the company tries to lift commercial production and deliveries, a key driver of cash. Reuters Boeing’s stock has stayed sensitive to headlines that speak to order visibility and

Lloyds pulls invoice factoring for SMEs, tightening cash‑flow options heading into 2026

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:32 ET Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY.L) plans to close its invoice factoring service for small and medium-sized businesses by the end of 2025, the Financial Times reported, citing two people familiar with the matter. The timing matters because factoring is a day-to-day cash tool for smaller firms, letting them turn unpaid invoices into money they can use immediately. A year-end shutdown would force some businesses to line up alternatives for 2026. The move also signals a wider retreat by major UK lenders from labour-intensive working-capital products, as banks focus on steadier returns from mortgages and

Citigroup stock slides on Russia-exit charge as Fed minutes loom

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:41 ET — Regular session Citigroup (NYSE: C) shares were down about 1% at $116.95 in late-morning New York trading on Tuesday. The move followed Citi’s disclosure that internal approvals have cleared the way for a planned sale of AO Citibank, which houses the bank’s remaining Russia operations. Citi said the transaction is expected to result in a roughly $1.2 billion pretax loss that it expects to book in the fourth quarter. The timing matters because the loss will land in the same quarter banks use to set the tone for the next year on

Home Depot stock slips today as housing signals shift and Fed minutes loom

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:43 ET — Regular session Home Depot (HD.N) shares fell 0.6% to $345.48 in late morning trading on Tuesday, extending a choppy run for housing-linked retailers as investors weighed fresh housing indicators and a key Federal Reserve update due later in the day. The move matters now because Home Depot’s sales tend to track housing activity and household confidence. When mortgage rates and home turnover shift, so does demand for big-ticket projects and contractor work. Markets are also in a year-end stretch where small changes in rate expectations can swing rate-sensitive stocks. The Fed’s minutes

SanDisk stock today: SNDK rebounds from early dip as year-end trade thins

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:41 ET — Regular session Sandisk Corp shares rose 0.8% to $246.30 in late morning trade on Tuesday after dropping as much as 3.1% earlier in the session. The stock ranged from $236.64 to $246.84. The year-end tape has put Sandisk back on watchlists because it has been one of 2025’s biggest winners. Kiplinger recently ranked SanDisk as the S&P 500’s top gainer for the year, up about 594%, alongside storage and memory peers Western Digital, Micron Technology and Seagate Technology. Kiplinger That kind of run can cut both ways in the final week of

DRDGOLD stock rebounds in premarket as gold bounces ahead of Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 08:13 ET — Premarket DRDGOLD Limited (DRD) rose 4.4% to $31.89 in premarket trading on Tuesday, clawing back some ground after the stock closed down 8.4% on Monday at $30.54. The shares hit an intraday low of $30.23 in the prior session, according to StockAnalysis data. The snapback matters now because DRDGOLD trades like a high-octane proxy for the gold price, and bullion just put in a rare, sharp reversal into year-end. When the metal whipsaws, miners with outsized exposure to spot moves can swing even harder. The next catalyst sits squarely on the macro

Goldman Sachs stock slips as year-end volumes thin and Fed minutes loom

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:24 ET — Regular session Shares of The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. were down 0.9% at $883.73 in late morning trading on Tuesday. The stock traded between $882.43 and $895.39, leaving it just below the $900 level that has acted as a near-term line in the sand for traders. The pullback matters now because Goldman is a bellwether for Wall Street’s risk appetite, and the firm’s earnings are closely tied to market activity. In the final sessions of the year, small shifts in positioning can move large-cap financials more than usual. Trading volumes have been

TMC stock dips after Monday’s slide as deep-sea mining rules return to the spotlight

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:23 ET — Regular session Shares of TMC the metals company Inc (TMC) were down about 0.2% at $6.31 in morning trading on Tuesday, after dropping 7.3% in the previous session. The stock has traded between $6.28 and $6.46 so far in the regular session. Nasdaq TMC is one of the few U.S.-listed ways to bet on commercial deep-sea mining — the push to harvest potato-sized polymetallic nodules from the ocean floor that contain nickel, copper, cobalt and manganese. For investors, the near-term story hinges on permitting and legal frameworks more than on near-term earnings

Cisco stock today: CSCO slips in late-morning trade as tech pressure lingers ahead of Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:31 ET — Regular session Cisco Systems, Inc. shares dipped on Tuesday, tracking a cautious turn in large-cap tech and year-end repositioning with Federal Reserve minutes due later in the day. The move matters because liquidity is thinner than normal in the holiday-shortened week, which can amplify small shifts in sentiment. U.S. markets are closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day, leaving investors a narrow window to adjust portfolios before 2026. Reuters Cisco’s modest decline also comes a day after U.S. stocks ended lower as heavyweight technology names retreated from last week’s record-high levels in
