NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 21:00 ET SpaceX delayed for a second straight night its planned Falcon 9 launch carrying Italy’s COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation FM3 satellite from California, saying it needs more time to check launch-pad systems and has not set a new liftoff date.

Goldman Sachs stock drifts near $900 as holiday lull puts focus on Fed minutes, Jan. 15 earnings

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 21:01 ET — Market closed Goldman Sachs shares slipped 0.4% to $907.04 at Friday’s close as U.S. markets eased in a subdued, post-Christmas session.

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 20:59 ET Intel is seeking Santa Clara approval to build two new structures totaling 107,171 square feet at its Bowers campus, according to city project documents.

BitMine stock in focus after $219 million ether stake shows up on-chain

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 20:49 ET — Market closed BitMine Immersion Technologies will head into Monday’s U.S. session with a fresh catalyst after on-chain data showed wallets linked to the company shifted nearly $219 million worth of ether into an Ethereum staking contract over the weekend. Shares last closed down 3.5% at $28.31 on Friday.

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 20:32 ET — Market closed Exxon Mobil (XOM.N) shares ended Friday down 0.1% at $119.11 as crude prices fell sharply, setting a cautious tone for energy names ahead of the final trading days of the year.

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 20:37 ET — Market closed. Walmart Inc (WMT) shares last ended up 0.1% at $111.74 on Friday, after a muted post-Christmas session that left the stock stuck near recent lows. The backdrop matters now because the final trading days of the year often bring lighter volumes, making price swings easier to exaggerate in large, widely held names like Walmart. Reuters Investors’ main macro focus this week is the release of minutes from the Federal Reserve’s latest policy meeting — a detailed record of the discussion — which can shift expectations for where interest rates go
