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

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

Atmos Energy starts Kingsport’s Watauga Street gas line upgrades Jan. 5 — what to expect

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:06 ET Atmos Energy will begin upgrading natural gas lines along Watauga Street in Kingsport, Tennessee, on Jan. 5, the city said on Tuesday. Local outlet WJHL reported the work will be carried out in phases along the corridor. https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/atmos-energy-to-update-kingsports-watauga-street-gas-lines/ The timeline matters for residents and businesses because crews are set to start preparations immediately after the New Year holiday, and the project runs through a busy stretch of road for months. The early work includes surveying and marking the route before construction intensifies. The Kingsport work also fits a broader push by regulated gas

Costco stock today: Why COST is slipping in thin year-end trade ahead of Fed minutes

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. Reuters Retail stocks leaned softer, with Walmart down about 0.4% and BJ’s Wholesale Club down nearly 1%. Consumer

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

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

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

Eli Lilly stock dips after report flags China price cuts for Mounjaro

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:48 ET — Regular session Eli Lilly and Company shares were down $1.73, or about 0.2%, at $1,077.00 in morning trading on Tuesday. 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. The issue matters now because competition is widening beyond the United States and into markets where access and affordability drive demand. For GLP-1 drugs — medicines that mimic a gut hormone to

Robinhood stock slips today after Needham trims target — traders eye 4:05 p.m. activity update

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:38 ET — Regular session Robinhood Markets (HOOD.O) shares fell 0.7% to $116.64 by 10:38 a.m. ET on Tuesday, with the stock trading between $116.14 and $118.06. The move comes as investors look for fresh signals on retail trading demand into year-end, with Robinhood expected to publish a December activity snapshot after the closing bell. Needham lowered its price target on Robinhood to $135 from $145 while reiterating a Buy rating, citing expectations that crypto trading volumes stay weak for the next couple of quarters. A price target is an analyst’s estimate of where a

Exxon Mobil stock rises today as oil steadies on geopolitics — what traders are watching next for XOM

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:53 ET — Regular session Exxon Mobil shares rose about 0.5% to $121.19 in late morning trading, after moving between $121.00 and $121.75. The move mattered because Exxon, like other big integrated oil companies, tends to trade with crude prices day-to-day. Oil has been the main driver for the sector as investors react to fast-changing geopolitical headlines and near-term supply constraints. Brent and U.S. West Texas Intermediate — the global and U.S. oil benchmarks used to price most crude trades — were modestly higher on Tuesday after both jumped more than 2% in the prior

Why Caterpillar stock is slipping today: AI data-center power bets meet year-end trading

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:59 ET — Regular session Caterpillar, Inc. shares dipped on Tuesday, down about 0.2% at $577.21, as U.S. stocks edged lower in thin year-end trading. The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq were all slightly in the red, with investors also awaiting the Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes — the detailed record of its latest policy discussion. Reuters The modest move matters because Caterpillar has become a crowded way to express a bigger market theme: rising power demand from AI data centers, and what that means for industrial suppliers.

Allied Gold stock rebounds as gold prices bounce back after sharp selloff

Allied Gold stock rebounds as gold prices bounce back after sharp selloff

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:15 ET — Regular session Allied Gold Corporation shares were up 71 cents, or about 3.1%, at $23.67 in morning trading on Tuesday. The move tracked a broader rebound in precious-metals-linked names after bullion swung sharply over the past two sessions. That matters now because thin year-end liquidity can exaggerate moves, and gold’s price swings tend to ripple quickly into miners’ shares, which investors often treat as leveraged bets on the metal. Gold fell hard on Monday after hitting a record high late last week, as traders locked in profits following the rally. Spot gold

JPMorgan stock slips in early trade as Fed minutes and year-end funding signals take focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:25 ET — Regular session JPMorgan Chase & Co shares edged down 0.2% to $323.18 in late morning trading on Tuesday, after touching an intraday high of $324.89. U.S. bank stocks were mixed, with Bank of America up 0.2%, while Citigroup fell 0.9% and Goldman Sachs slid 0.8%. For JPMorgan, the biggest near-term driver remains the outlook for interest rates. Banks earn a large share of profits from net interest income — the spread between what they collect on loans and securities and what they pay out on deposits. That spread matters now because traders

No $2,000 IRS stimulus check is coming in February 2026 — but Trump’s tariff-check talk keeps the rumors alive

The IRS has not announced new federal stimulus payments for February 2026, and Congress has not approved fresh checks. Trump told NBC he is considering $2,000 tariff rebate checks but has not committed, saying any payout would likely come later in 2026.
