US Stock Market Today (Dec. 25, 2025): S&P 500 and Dow End Christmas Eve at Record Highs as 2026 Outlook Turns to AI, Earnings, and Fed Rate Cuts

US Stock Market Today (Dec. 25, 2025): S&P 500 and Dow End Christmas Eve at Record Highs as 2026 Outlook Turns to AI, Earnings, and Fed Rate Cuts

NEW YORK — December 25, 2025. Wall Street is closed for Christmas Day, but the story investors are taking into the holiday is anything but quiet: U.S. stocks left off at fresh records, the “Santa Claus rally” window has begun, and strategists are already sketching a 2026 roadmap built around three swing factors—artificial intelligence investment, corporate profit growth, and the Federal Reserve’s next moves on rates. New York Stock Exchange The timing matters. With trading paused, markets are in “reflection mode”—digesting where prices ended the final full session before year-end positioning accelerates and before the calendar flips into a U.S.

Dow Jones Industrial Average Holds Record Close as Wall Street Closes for Christmas: DJIA Santa Rally Watch, Fed Rate-Cut Bets, and 2026 Outlook

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is spending Christmas Day at a fresh record—even though U.S. stock markets are shut today, Thursday, December 25, 2025. The blue-chip Dow Jones index last traded in Wednesday’s shortened Christmas Eve session, when it rose 288.75 points (0.60%) to close at an all-time high of 48,731.16. Reuters That record close is more than a holiday headline. It’s a snapshot of what has defined the market’s late-2025 push: a renewed bid for AI-linked names, resilient (if uneven) U.S. data, and a steady drumbeat of debate about how far the Federal Reserve will go with rate

Costco Stock (COST) After Hours Today: Analyst Upgrade, Price Targets, and What to Watch Before the Market Opens Dec. 26, 2025

AbbVie (ABBV) Stock on Dec. 25, 2025: After-Hours Check, Today’s Headlines, and What to Watch Before the Dec. 26 Open

Dec. 25, 2025 (Thursday) is Christmas Day in the U.S. — and that matters because there was no regular trading session and no closing bell today. U.S. stock markets were closed for the holiday, with the last regular session ending early on Wednesday, Dec. 24. NASDAQ Trader So if you’re checking AbbVie Inc.

Bank of America Stock (BAC) After Hours Today (Dec. 25, 2025): What to Know Before the Market Opens Tomorrow

Bank of America Corporation (NYSE: BAC) is heading into Friday’s reopening session with a key wrinkle: U.S. stock markets were closed today, Thursday, Dec. 25, for Christmas, so there was no “after-the-bell” price action in the usual sense. The most recent “close” investors can anchor to is Wednesday’s Christmas Eve early-close session. New York Stock Exchange That matters because BAC is sitting near fresh highs, liquidity is thin in holiday weeks, and the next wave of catalysts (rates, bank regulation, and the Q4 earnings runway) can move large-cap financials quickly when volume is light.

U.S. stock markets are closed today, Thursday, Dec. 25, 2025, for Christmas Day, so there is no official closing bell or “after-hours” session happening tonight. The most recent tradable reference point for Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) is Wednesday’s shortened session (Dec. 24)—when U.S. markets closed early ahead of the holiday.

Palantir Stock (PLTR) After the Bell on Dec. 25, 2025: What to Know Before the Market Opens Friday

U.S. markets are dark today for Christmas Day, which means there was no new closing print for Palantir Technologies (PLTR) on Thursday, Dec. 25, 2025—and no “after-the-bell” catalyst to digest in the usual sense.

New York Stock Exchange Even with the holiday pause, the Palantir story hasn’t stopped moving.
