Lumentum stock slides late as year-end tech pullback hits AI optics names

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 18:08 ET — After-hours Lumentum Holdings Inc shares fell 4.6% to $372.61 in after-hours trading on Monday, after dropping as much as 6.7% earlier in the session. The stock traded between $364.50 and $390.00, with about 3.0 million shares changing hands. The slide came as investors eased off higher-risk technology positions in the final week of the year, when thinner liquidity can magnify moves in momentum names. That matters for Lumentum because it has become closely tied to expectations for AI infrastructure spending. The company sells optical and photonic products — light-based components used to

Bank of America stock slides after-hours as U.S. bank shares pull back into year-end

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 6:06 PM ET — After-hours Bank of America shares fell 1.5% in after-hours trading on Monday to $55.35, giving back ground as big banks retreated with the broader market. The stock traded between $55.28 and $56.32 during the session, with about 21.0 million shares changing hands. The late dip lands at a sensitive moment for rate-linked financial stocks. Investors have been recalibrating how fast the Federal Reserve might cut rates next year, a shift that can change how much lenders earn on their core lending business. That matters because banks’ earnings are heavily tied to

UnitedHealth (UNH) stock slips after hours as UnitedHealthcare delays remote monitoring policy

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 18:01 ET — After-hours UnitedHealth Group Incorporated shares fell 0.9% to $328.94 in after-hours trading on Monday, after a report said its UnitedHealthcare unit is postponing a policy that would have tightened reimbursement for remote physiologic monitoring starting Jan. 1, 2026. Healthcare Finance News The policy touches remote physiologic monitoring — often called remote patient monitoring — which uses connected devices to send readings such as blood pressure or weight from a patient’s home to clinicians. Insurers and regulators have been watching the category as spending rises and billing practices draw scrutiny. That scrutiny is

Exxon stock climbs as oil rallies; late U.S. inventory build lands after the bell

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:52 ET — After-hours Exxon Mobil Corporation shares rose 1.2% to $120.53 in Monday’s regular session and were little changed in after-hours trading, after crude prices finished sharply higher. ExxonMobil+1 The stock often trades as a proxy for oil because Exxon’s upstream business sells crude and natural gas, making cash-flow expectations sensitive to commodity prices. Its refining business can move differently, since lower crude feedstock costs can support margins if fuel demand holds. The timing matters as markets head into the final stretch of 2025 with investors debating whether a supply glut will cap crude

Walmart stock today: WMT rises after-hours after CEO McMillon discloses share sale

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:50 ET — After-hours Walmart Inc (WMT.N) shares rose 0.7% to $112.53 in after-hours trading on Monday, as investors weighed an insider-sale disclosure and a defensive tilt in late-year positioning. SEC The filing matters now because markets are moving on lighter volumes into year-end, a period when single-stock headlines can draw outsized attention even if the underlying change is modest. Reuters Walmart also held up better than several retail peers as the broader market slipped. Target fell 1.4% and Costco dropped 0.6%, while Walmart was higher. A Form 4 — the SEC disclosure used to

Intel stock rises after Nvidia closes $5 billion share purchase — what’s next for INTC

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:54 ET — After-hours Intel Corp shares were up about 1.3% at $36.68 in after-hours trading on Monday after a regulatory filing confirmed Nvidia’s $5 billion equity purchase had closed. The completed deal puts fresh cash on Intel’s balance sheet at a time the company is spending heavily on new chipmaking capacity and trying to regain traction in data-center and AI markets. Investors also read Nvidia’s investment as a strategic endorsement of a partnership meant to tie Intel CPUs more closely to Nvidia’s AI accelerators, called GPUs, that power many AI systems. Reuters Intel said

CoreWeave stock slips after-hours as year-end trading thins and AI-infra nerves linger

NEW YORK, Dec 29, 2025, 5:54 PM ET — After-hours. CoreWeave shares were last down 1.9% at $74.92 in after-hours trade on Monday, after a volatile regular session that left the AI-cloud infrastructure stock under pressure into year-end. The move matters because CoreWeave has become a high-beta bellwether for “AI infrastructure” risk appetite — the trade that thrives when investors are willing to underwrite big capital spending for GPU-heavy data centers, and stumbles when financing and execution worries take center stage. Seeking Alpha+1 Monday’s slide also showed how quickly sentiment can turn in thin, late-December liquidity, when modest flows can

Rocket Lab stock slips on year-end profit taking, then nudges higher after hours — what’s driving RKLB now

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:43 ET — After-hours Rocket Lab Corp shares fell 0.75% to $70.12 at the regular-session close on Monday, then rose 0.46% to $70.44 in after-hours trading, according to Google Finance data. Google The moves matter because Rocket Lab’s sharp run has made it a crowded trade into year-end, and after-hours trading can amplify swings on lighter liquidity. Investors are also trying to pin down how quickly large defense awards translate into revenue and cash flow for a company still building scale. Google+1 Rocket Lab traded against a softer U.S. tape.

Costco stock slips after hours as year-end trading thins and January sales update looms

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:45 ET — After-hours Costco Wholesale shares fell 0.6% in after-hours trading on Monday to $867.84. The dip comes as investors head into the final two trading sessions of 2025 with holiday liquidity thin and little company-specific news to reset near-term expectations. Reuters Costco’s stock has become a high-profile gauge for how well big-box retailers can hold demand without heavy discounting, helped by its membership-fee model. Those fees are a key profit driver because they carry much higher margins than most of the goods sold in warehouses. Nasdaq+1 U.S. stocks closed lower on Monday, with

Eli Lilly stock today: LLY inches up as weight-loss pill pricing, insider filing keep spotlight on obesity drugs

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:45 ET — After-hours Shares of Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) were up 0.2% at $1,078.73 in after-hours trading on Monday. The stock traded between $1,074.80 and $1,085.12 and about 1.64 million shares had changed hands. The modest move masked a bigger debate underway in the obesity-drug trade: pricing and access. Investors are watching whether Lilly can widen uptake without giving away too much margin. Pills sit at the center of that calculus because they may lower barriers for patients who avoid injections. A shift toward out-of-pocket buying also changes who sets the rules —

Sandisk stock slips after-hours as tech retreat cools year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:33 ET — After-hours Sandisk Corp shares fell 2.4% to $244.25 in after-hours trading on Monday, after swinging between $236.64 and $249.84 during the session. The move came as Wall Street’s main indexes ended lower, led by declines in heavyweight technology and AI-linked names. “It’ll turn out to be a buying opportunity,” said Hank Smith, director and head of investment strategy at Haverford Trust, while noting that the week ahead is light on data apart from Federal Reserve minutes and weekly jobless claims. Reuters Why it matters now: Sandisk has been one of the market’s

JPMorgan stock falls in after-hours as year-end selloff hits bank shares

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:35 ET — After-hours JPMorgan Chase & Co. shares slid 1.3% on Monday and were last at $323.75 in after-hours trading. The decline matters because big banks are tightly linked to the direction of interest rates. When yields fall, investors often assume lending margins and some trading activity will cool, pressuring expectations for bank earnings. The timing also coincides with thin, holiday-shortened trading, when positioning around quarter- and year-end can amplify moves. That backdrop has pushed investors to focus on both rates and short-term liquidity conditions. U.S. stocks ended lower, with Treasury yields easing as
