Danaher stock beats Wall Street dip as investors eye Fed minutes and Jan. 28 earnings

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 22:23 ET — Market closed Danaher Corp shares were last up about 0.1% at $230.63 on Monday, after trading between $229.26 and $231.77 during the session.

It also comes ahead of a key macro catalyst: the Federal Reserve’s December meeting minutes, due Tuesday, with traders pricing in additional rate cuts in 2026 as the U.S. dollar weakens into year-end. reuters.com U.S.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 9:54 PM ET — Market closed Amphenol Corp shares fell 0.4% to end at $136.90 on Monday, as heavyweight technology names retreated and pulled the broader market lower in the final week of 2025.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:49 ET — Market closed. Booking Holdings shares finished nearly flat on Monday, closing at $5,441.33 after trading in a roughly $58 range during the session. The muted close masked a familiar late-December dynamic: fund flows and thin liquidity can matter as much as company headlines, especially for high-priced, widely held stocks. That matters now because U.S. markets are heading into a holiday stretch, with New Year’s Day falling on Thursday and U.S. equity markets shut. New York Stock Exchange+1 Booking opened at $5,443.39, dipped as low as $5,403.94 and topped out at $5,462.00 before
