Gilead stock nudges up after Bernstein flags limited Medicaid pricing hit

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 22:17 ET — Market closed Gilead Sciences (GILD.O) shares were last up 0.15% at $124.91 on Monday, as investors weighed an analyst note that argued new Medicaid drug-pricing rules would have a limited financial impact on the company’s HIV franchise. Investing.com The call matters now because drugmakers and investors are still parsing a Trump administration pricing push that targets Medicaid and aims to bring U.S. medicine prices closer to those in other wealthy countries.

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. The muted move still mattered for Danaher investors because the stock held up in a market that turned lower as the year winds down and liquidity thins, a setup that can amplify sector rotations. 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, 22:07 ET — Market closed BlackRock Inc shares edged up on Monday, ending nearly flat at $1,088.40 as Wall Street turned lower in holiday-thinned trading. Reuters For BlackRock, modest moves in markets matter because they feed directly into assets under management (AUM) — the pool of client money it charges fees on. The firm oversees more than $13 trillion, Reuters has reported. Reuters That sensitivity is in sharper focus into year-end, as traders re-price the interest-rate outlook ahead of the Federal Reserve’s December meeting minutes due on Tuesday.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:53 ET Lockheed Martin has offered to set up a C-130J Super Hercules final-assembly line in India as the Indian Air Force (IAF) moves toward buying up to 80 military transport aircraft, a PTI report carried by local media said. mint The pitch lands as India tries to modernise the air force’s transport fleet, a workhorse capability used to move troops, vehicles and relief supplies across long distances.

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, 21:52 ET — Market closed S&P Global Inc. shares ended slightly higher on Monday, closing up about 0.1% at $530.10.

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.
