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. Why this matters now is simple: with the cash market shut for the weekend, investors are heading into the last few sessions of the year with fewer catalysts and lighter participation. Low turnover can make even modest rebalancing flows show up more clearly in big, liquid bank stocks. AP News The next scheduled macro event lands early in the week. The Federal Reserve is set to release minutes from its Dec.

Intel’s 107,000-sq-ft Santa Clara buildout: what city documents show

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. The proposal lands as Intel leans into manufacturing investment and a broader turnaround under Chief Executive Lip-Bu Tan, while competing for advanced production against rivals such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co and Samsung Electronics. It also underscores the infrastructure demands of chipmaking in Silicon Valley, where large industrial projects can hinge on power and cooling capacity. The plans include a dedicated central utility building to support the manufacturing equipment.

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. TradingView+1 The move matters because BitMine has amassed one of the largest public-company ether treasuries, turning BMNR into a high-beta proxy for Ethereum’s price and liquidity. Any step toward putting those holdings to work can alter the market’s view of the firm’s earnings power

Sandisk stock faces Monday test after weekend downgrade as Fed minutes loom

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 20:48 ET — Market closed. Sandisk Corp shares ended Friday little changed at $250.05, and investors will look for direction when U.S. markets reopen on Monday after Wall Street Zen downgraded the stock over the weekend. MarketBeat The timing matters because trading is expected to stay thin into year-end, which can amplify price moves, while investors are also bracing for fresh clues on the interest-rate outlook from the Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes due Tuesday.

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. Reuters The move matters because oil and gas prices feed directly into Exxon’s upstream profits and the cash it uses to fund dividends and share buybacks.

Reuters Friday’s drop in crude came as traders weighed whether global supply

Walmart stock sits near $112 heading into Fed-minutes week and thin year-end trading

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

Intel stock holds near $36 as investors weigh foundry signals into year-end

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 20:28 ET — Market closed Intel shares ended Friday up 0.1% at $36.20 and were last indicated at $36.19 as U.S. markets head into the final sessions of the year. Investing.com That matters for Intel because the stock has become a live referendum on its effort to claw back manufacturing leadership and sell chipmaking capacity to outside customers through its foundry business — a shift that requires heavy investment and patience.

The warehouse-club operator has a near-term holiday checkpoint on deck: Costco’s December sales results are scheduled for Jan. 7, after the regular U.S. close. Costco Investor Relations That matters because the update gives investors a timely read on holiday demand at a retailer built around value pricing and recurring membership fees, which help support profits when shoppers pull back.
