Visa stock slips in thin year-end trade as investors brace for Fed minutes

Visa stock slips in thin year-end trade as investors brace for Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:26 ET — Regular session Visa Inc shares slipped on Tuesday as the payments giant tracked a softer tone in U.S. equities heading into the final days of the year. At 11:26 a.m. ET, Visa stock was down 0.2% at $353.83. The move matters now because year-end flows can exaggerate modest price changes, with funds rebalancing portfolios and traders trimming risk into a holiday-shortened week. Visa is often treated as a proxy for consumer activity because it earns fees when cardholders spend, making investors sensitive to shifts in rate expectations that can ripple through spending

Kevin O’Leary’s $15 salad warning: Shark Tank star says lunch splurges can drain $500,000 from retirement

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:00 ET Kevin O’Leary said people who insist they cannot afford to invest often make room in their budgets for recurring small purchases, including what he called $15 lunch salads. “People tell me they don’t have money to invest. And then I watch them spend $15 on a salad for lunch,” O’Leary said in a YouTube video this month. Benzinga The message is landing as households keep looking for ways to stretch paychecks, even as everyday costs remain a top concern.

IBM stock price today: Shares slip as Fed minutes loom in thin year-end trade

IBM stock price today: Shares slip as Fed minutes loom in thin year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:30 ET — Regular session International Business Machines (IBM.N) shares slipped about 0.5% on Tuesday. At 11:15 a.m. ET, the stock was down $1.63 at $304.11, after trading between $302.73 and $306.24 and opening at $306.15. Volume was about 462,000 shares. The move matters now because year-end trading is typically thin, and modest shifts in risk appetite can push large-cap names around. For IBM, the market’s view on interest rates also feeds into how investors price steady, cash-generating tech stocks. Investors were awaiting the Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes — the detailed record of policymakers’ debate

GE Vernova stock today: Why GEV is holding near $665 as Fed minutes loom

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:25 ET — Regular session GE Vernova Inc. shares were up about 0.2% at $664.52 in morning trade on Tuesday. The stock has traded between $660.91 and $667.99 so far in the session. The power-equipment maker has become a high-profile way to play rising electricity demand tied to data centers and grid spending. That has put the stock in a high-valuation cohort where shifts in interest-rate expectations can drive day-to-day moves. U.S. stocks edged lower in thin holiday trading, with investors waiting for minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Dec. 9-10 meeting due later Tuesday. “I

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:20 ET — Regular session Costco Wholesale Corporation shares fell on Tuesday, down 0.5% at $863.08 as of 11:05 a.m. ET. The S&P 500 ETF was little changed. The muted move came in a holiday-shortened week marked by light trading volumes, with U.S. markets closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day. “I wouldn’t try to make too much out of anything that happens in a holiday-shortened week,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B Riley Wealth.

Walmart stock slips after app outage; filing details Sam’s Club CEO sale plan

Walmart stock slips after app outage; filing details Sam’s Club CEO sale plan

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:12 ET — Regular session. Walmart Inc shares edged lower on Tuesday after the retailer’s mobile app and website suffered a short outage that disrupted access for shoppers. The stock was down about 0.3% at $112.17 in late-morning trading. The timing matters because Walmart’s digital storefront is a critical front door in the post-holiday period, when shoppers often make returns, exchange gifts and chase year-end discounts online. Even brief outages can weigh on conversion rates — the share of visits that turn into completed purchases. The stock move also came in thin year-end trading as

Coinbase stock dips after Needham cuts target to $290 on weak crypto volumes

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:54 ET — Regular session Coinbase Global (COIN.O) shares were down 0.1% at $233.47 on Tuesday after Needham cut its price target on the crypto exchange operator, citing continued weakness in crypto trading volumes. “Even if crypto prices are near a bottom, retail volumes typically remain muted until momentum returns,” Needham analyst John Todaro told investors. TipRanks The call matters because Coinbase’s revenue still swings with how much customers trade, not just where bitcoin is priced. Late-December sessions are typically thin, and that can expose any slowdown in activity. Needham’s trimmed target still sits above

Silver ETF SLV hit its worst day in five years — then bounced back as China export rules and margin hikes bite

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:52 ET The iShares Silver Trust, the biggest U.S. silver-backed exchange-traded fund (ETF), fell about 7% on Monday in its steepest one-day drop in five years as silver prices retreated from record highs. SLV was up about 4% in Tuesday trading, a sign that volatility has not left a market that has surged through year-end. The swings matter because ETFs such as SLV have become a main channel for retail investors to trade silver without storing the metal. Sharp reversals can force fast exits in crowded trades, especially late in the year when liquidity is

The move comes as investors focus on whether the weight-loss boom is entering a tougher phase on pricing, not just supply. Lilly’s obesity franchise has helped propel the stock, so any sign of discounting tends to land quickly with traders.

Cadence Bank stock is stuck at $42.11 after Huntington deal — what CADE holders watch next week

7 February 2026
New York, Feb 7, 2026, 07:02 (EST) — Market closed. Cadence Bank shares (CADE) last traded at $42.11 on Jan. 30 and have been marked inactive, leaving investors with little to watch on the ticker itself heading into Monday’s U.S. session.

Under the terms of Huntington Bancshares’ takeover, each Cadence common share was converted into the right to receive 2.475 Huntington common shares — the exchange ratio — with cash paid in lieu of any fractional share.
