Cemtrex (CETX) stock ends lower as FY2025 results tout operating profit but 10-K flags going-concern doubt

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 23:19 ET — Market closed Cemtrex, Inc. shares closed down 7.46% at $2.11 on Monday, before the company released its full-year results after the bell showing a return to operating profit.

ConocoPhillips stock closes higher as oil jumps; inventories and Feb. 5 earnings date in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 11:24 PM ET — Market closed ConocoPhillips shares rose 1.2% on Monday and finished at $92.63, after tracking a broad move higher in crude prices. The stock traded between $91.70 and $92.72, with about 5.3 million shares changing hands. The move matters now because year-end trading has been dominated by commodity swings and geopolitical headlines, with thinner liquidity amplifying sector moves. The S&P 500 and other major U.S. indexes finished lower on Monday, even as oil-linked names held up better than the market. Reuters Oil settled more than $1 a barrel higher after Russia accused

BNAI stock doubles as Brand Engagement Network lands AI pharma deal, eyes recurring fees

Parker-Hannifin stock today: PH ends higher as Wall Street wobbles into year-end

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 23:29 ET — Market closed Parker-Hannifin Corp (NYSE:PH) shares finished modestly higher on Monday, edging up 0.3% to $890.55 in year-end trading. That relative resilience matters heading into the final two sessions of 2025, when thin liquidity can amplify moves and investors tend to rebalance portfolios. Parker is also carrying deal risk after announcing a major acquisition that will reshape its mix toward higher-recurring revenue. For industrial names like Parker, the near-term swing factor has been macro: rate-cut expectations, bond yields and the tone of risk appetite after a tech-led rally. Any shift in that

Lockheed Martin stock rises today as Pentagon contract update keeps defense demand in view

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 11:23 PM ET — Market closed Lockheed Martin shares rose 1.21% to close at $488.87 on Monday, outperforming a softer U.S. stock market as investors digested fresh Pentagon contract activity tied to the defense contractor. MarketWatch+1 The move matters because Lockheed’s stock tends to trade on visibility into future government-funded work — especially sustainment, which is the maintenance and support that keeps deployed systems operating. Pentagon contract postings can offer a near-term read on allied demand and the pace of option exercises late in the year. U.S. Department of War Monday’s disclosure was small relative

Luxury brands’ Instagram Reels views jump 234% as TikTok momentum fades, data show

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 23:21 ET Average video views for luxury brands surged on Instagram’s Reels in the second quarter of 2025, while growth on TikTok slowed sharply, according to industry benchmark data published on Monday. EMARKETER The shift matters as luxury marketers head into 2026 campaign planning with a sharper focus on where short-form video discovery is happening. TikTok has dominated that role for years, but brands have been looking to spread risk across platforms as audience habits evolve. It also adds to the competitive stakes between Meta Platforms, which owns Instagram, and TikTok owner ByteDance as both

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 23:07 ET — Market closed Honeywell International Inc. shares ended down 0.14% at $197.09 on Monday and eased to $196.89 in after-hours trading, as investors weighed a small U.S. Army contract update against a softer broader market into year-end. The stock traded between $196.24 and $197.60 during the session and remains within a 52-week range of $168.99 to $227.71. Google The move matters now because markets are running on light liquidity with just a handful of sessions left in 2025, leaving investors quick to react to incremental headlines.

Southern Copper stock drops late Monday as metals selloff hits miners; what’s next for SCCO

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 23:13 ET — Market closed Southern Copper Corp (SCCO) was last down 2.8% at $145.30 late Monday, tracking a sharp pullback across metals-linked assets. The stock traded between $143.75 and $149.00, with about 1.1 million shares changing hands. The slide matters now because the year-end run in metals has left futures markets prone to abrupt swings when trading conditions tighten. CME Group raised margin requirements for gold, silver and other metals — the cash deposit traders must post to hold futures positions — and the move rippled through mining equities, the Associated Press reported.

Yahoo Finance The move mattered less for the size of the drop than for what it signaled: investors are de-risking into year-end while waiting for fresh clues on interest rates, a key input for valuing big, cash-generating healthcare names.
