Exxon stock edges lower into Monday as oil sinks 2% on supply-glut fears

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.

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.

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 20:18 ET — Market closed Costco Wholesale Corp (COST) shares ended Friday up 0.2% at $873.35 in thin post-Christmas trading. 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.

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 19:57 ET — Market closed. AppLovin (APP.O) shares ended the last regular session down 1.8% at $714.23, as U.S. markets headed into the final trading stretch of the year before shutting for the weekend.

Milan, February 7, 2026, 10:54 (CET) — Market closed.
