Dow Jones Today (Dec. 26, 2025): DJIA Slips After Record Close as “Santa Rally” Meets Holiday-Thin Trading

NEW YORK — The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is back in action on Friday, December 26, 2025, after U.S. markets were closed for Christmas Day. After notching a fresh record close in the pre-holiday session, the blue-chip index has cooled a touch in early post-Christmas trading, with liquidity expected to stay thin as many desks remain lightly staffed and large parts of Europe observe Boxing Day. Reuters At last check, the Dow’s real-time “derived” reading was hovering around 48,637, down roughly 0.2% (about 100 points) from the prior close, after the index last officially closed at 48,731.16. The day’s

Nuvama Wealth Stock Split Explained: Why Shares Show an “80% Fall” on Dec 26, 2025 — Plus DCM Shriram Demerger, Ram Ratna Bonus and Hilton Rights Issue in Focus

Indian markets reopened after the Christmas trading holiday to a familiar kind of investor whiplash: price screens flashing what looks like a sudden collapse in a well-followed stock — even though nothing “crashed” in the underlying business. The headline move on Friday, December 26, 2025 was in Nuvama Wealth Management, where several trading apps and watchlists appeared to show a plunge of nearly 80% at the open. But the apparent fall was mechanical, driven by Nuvama’s 1:5 stock split (sub-division) taking effect. At the same time, three other corporate actions landed on investors’ calendars today — a demerger (DCM Shriram

British Airways faces customer leadership vacuum as Chief Customer Officer Calum Laming set to depart in March 2026

LONDON — December 26, 2025 — British Airways is heading into 2026 with a major question hanging over one of its most visible priorities: the customer experience. Multiple aviation and travel outlets reported this week that Calum Laming, British Airways’ Chief Customer Officer (CCO), is expected to leave the airline at the end of March 2026—and that no successor has been publicly named. SSBCrack News The timing is awkward. Boxing Day traditionally marks a surge in travel bookings and public attention for airlines—and British Airways has launched its annual sale window, running through late January. At the same time, disruption-heavy

Compass Group PLC Stock (LSE: CPG) on 26 December 2025: Vermaat Deal Lands, FY26 Guidance Targets ~10% Profit Growth, Analysts See Upside

Compass Group PLC stock is heading into the year-end lull with investors balancing two powerful forces: the steadiness of its outsourcing-driven growth engine and the reality that 2026 growth rates are expected to cool as inflation moderates. One practical wrinkle first: London markets are shut for the Christmas/Boxing Day holidays, so there’s no fresh UK trading print for Friday, 26 December 2025. Reuters noted the London market would remain closed on Thursday and Friday for Christmas and Boxing Day. Reuters That makes the latest reliable “snapshot” the Wednesday, 24 December 2025 close—just before the lights went dim. Compass Group share

GSK plc Stock (NYSE: GSK, LSE: GSK): Latest News, Forecasts, and Key Catalysts as of Dec. 26, 2025

December 26, 2025 — GSK plc stock is closing out the year with a familiar mix of “defensive pharma stability” and “pipeline-driven volatility.” The past two weeks delivered a cluster of headline-worthy updates: a U.S. FDA approval for GSK’s twice-yearly asthma biologic, a high-profile U.S. drug-pricing agreement that directly touches GSK’s respiratory franchise, regulatory momentum for expanded vaccine use in Europe, and fresh competitive noise around Shingrix—one of GSK’s biggest profit engines. This is a stock that rarely moves on vibes alone. For GSK shares, regulatory decisions, pricing frameworks, and evidence that new products can offset looming patent expiries are

Rolls‑Royce Holdings plc Stock (RR.L): Share Price, Buyback News, Analyst Forecasts and 2026 Outlook as of 26 December 2025

Rolls‑Royce Holdings plc (LSE: RR., ADR: RYCEY) is ending 2025 in a rare position for a once-embattled industrial giant: it’s become one of the FTSE 100’s defining comeback stories, helped by a potent mix of higher widebody engine flying hours, improving engine durability, booming demand for backup power in data centres, and a renewed commitment to returning cash to shareholders. Financial Times As of Friday, 26 December 2025, markets in the UK are effectively in holiday mode (and the London Stock Exchange is closed for Boxing Day). But investor attention hasn’t gone on vacation: year-end “winners and losers” roundups, buyback

London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) Stock: Boxing Day Snapshot, Buyback Moves, AI Partnerships, and Analyst Forecasts (26 December 2025)

London Stock Exchange Group plc (LON: LSEG) heads into the final stretch of 2025 with a weirdly quiet tape—because the tape is literally paused. The London Stock Exchange is closed on Friday, 26 December (Boxing Day), following the early close on 24 December and the Christmas Day shutdown. MoneyWeek With markets shut, investors are using the pause to do what they always do when they can’t trade: re-run the narrative. And LSEG’s narrative in late 2025 has three big chapters: Below is what’s current as of 26 December 2025, spanning the latest available pricing, recent company activity, and the most

Shell Plc Stock (SHEL) News on Dec. 26, 2025: Buybacks, Gulf Discoveries, and Analyst Forecasts Into 2026

December 26, 2025 — Shell plc stock is heading into the final stretch of the year with a familiar tug-of-war shaping sentiment: aggressive capital returns and resilient deepwater projects on one side, and a softer oil-price outlook plus renewed takeover chatter on the other. With holiday-thinned trading conditions in late December, the market’s focus has shifted toward what investors can actually measure over the next few weeks: buyback execution, near-term operational catalysts in the U.S. Gulf, and the next earnings and dividend checkpoints early in 2026.

Unilever PLC Stock (UL, ULVR) Outlook on Dec. 26, 2025: Magnum Spin-Off Aftermath, Analyst Targets, and What Comes Next

December 26, 2025 — Unilever PLC stock is ending 2025 with a simpler corporate shape, a fresh set of catalysts, and (inevitably) a new set of debates about what the company should be worth. In early December, Unilever completed the demerger of its ice cream business into The Magnum Ice Cream Company, then followed with a share consolidation designed to keep per‑share metrics comparable post-split. Reuters On December 26 (Boxing Day), markets in the UK are closed, so the headline Unilever share price in London is essentially a “holiday snapshot” rather than a live tug-of-war between buyers and sellers.

Anglo American plc Stock (LSE:AAL) on 26 December 2025: Teck Merger Milestones, Copper Rally and Analyst Forecasts

December 26, 2025 is one of those awkward “news day without a market day” moments in London: UK markets are shut for Boxing Day, so Anglo American plc stock (LSE:AAL) isn’t trading today. The last reported LSE price on widely followed market pages is 3,012 GBX, as of December 24, 2025, with the stock up about 28.9% over one year. FT Markets Yet the story around Anglo American shares is moving anyway—because the company sits at the intersection of two forces that rarely stay quiet over the holidays: copper prices and mega-deal regulation. Below is a comprehensive roundup of the

Rio Tinto plc Stock (RIO): Latest News, Dividend Outlook, and 2026 Forecasts as of Dec. 26, 2025

Dec. 26, 2025 — Rio Tinto plc stock is heading into the final stretch of 2025 with a familiar identity—and a newly sharpened narrative. It’s still the iron-ore giant whose cash flows can swing with China’s steel cycle. But in the past few weeks, investors have been repricing Rio as something closer to a “materials platform” for the electrification era: copper growth, aluminium discipline, and an emerging lithium pillar—wrapped in a CEO-led push to simplify, sell non-core assets, and squeeze more output (and cash) out of the existing base. Reuters Because December 26 (Boxing Day) is a market holiday in

HSBC Holdings Plc Stock Today: Hang Seng Buyout Timeline, Leadership Changes, and 2026 Forecasts (Dec. 26, 2025)

Dec. 26, 2025 — HSBC Holdings Plc stock is heading into year-end with a rare mix of “quiet tape, loud fundamentals.” Trading is muted across key venues due to holiday schedules, but the newsflow around strategy and governance is anything but sleepy: HSBC is pushing a major Hong Kong simplification play via its planned Hang Seng Bank privatisation, refreshing leadership at board and business-unit level, and setting up a catalyst-heavy start to 2026.
