NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 10:30 ET — Regular session Molina Healthcare Inc shares were up 2.1% at $174.33 by 10:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday, after trading between $170.03 and $176.33 earlier in the session. The move matters because Molina has been highly sensitive to shifts in sentiment after cutting its 2025 profit outlook in October on higher medical costs, particularly in its Affordable Care Act marketplace business. “Approximately half of our underperformance is driven by the Marketplace business,” CEO Joseph Zubretsky said at the time. Reuters Investors are now looking to the company’s next update for signs that medical-cost

StubHub (STUB) stock ticks up as class-action deadline nears and free-cash-flow questions linger

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 10:00 ET — Regular session StubHub Holdings, Inc. shares were up 0.7% at $14.02 in early New York trading on Wednesday as investors digested a new round of shareholder-law-firm alerts tied to the ticket marketplace’s recent IPO.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 09:15 ET — Premarket FTAI Aviation Ltd shares were down about 0.5% at $196.72 in premarket trading on Wednesday after the aircraft-engine maintenance group launched a new data-center power initiative.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 09:15 ET — Premarket Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical (RARE.O) shares edged down 0.2% to $22.74 in premarket trading on Wednesday, after finishing Tuesday up 15.5% at $22.78. The stock’s 52-week range is $18.41 to $46.50.

Pfizer stock flat before the bell as report flags 2026 U.S. drug price hikes, including 15% Comirnaty rise

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 08:51 ET — Premarket Pfizer Inc shares were little changed in premarket trading on Wednesday after a report showed the drugmaker is leading a new round of U.S. list-price increases for 2026. The stock was down about 0.02% at $24.99, after closing Tuesday at roughly $25.00. The issue matters now because drug pricing has returned to the front burner in Washington, with the Trump administration pressing manufacturers to rein in costs. Year-end is also when many companies set list-price changes that typically take effect in early January. For investors, higher list prices can support revenue

Ambev stock today: ABEV dips before the bell after Tuesday’s jump — here’s what’s driving it

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 08:41 ET — Premarket Ambev S.A. shares were down 0.8% at $2.461 in premarket trading, after ending Tuesday up 2.5% at $2.48. The ADR has traded between $2.28 and $2.60 in recent sessions, reflecting choppy year-end positioning. StockAnalysis The timing matters because late-December trading can amplify small flows, especially in high-yield stocks where investors are repositioning around payouts. For Ambev, the week’s dividend schedule has been the main company-specific marker on screens. Ambev told investors in a U.S. securities filing that its board approved dividends of 0.4612 reais per share, “to be made on December

Applied Digital stock rises premarket as ChronoScale cloud spinout with Ekso draws investor focus

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 08:45 ET — Premarket Applied Digital Corporation shares rose about 1% to $24.31 in premarket trading on Wednesday, after a proposed cloud-business spinout kept the AI infrastructure stock in focus.

B2Gold stock today: BTG flat in premarket as gold slips on year-end profit-taking

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 08:58 ET — Premarket B2Gold Corp shares were up about 0.1% at $4.56 in premarket trading on Wednesday, little changed from Tuesday’s close. The gold miner tracked a softer tone in bullion prices into the year-end session. The timing matters. Gold miners often trade like a leveraged bet on bullion because revenue is tied to the metal price while many operating costs adjust more slowly. Thin holiday liquidity can make that linkage feel even tighter. Small shifts in gold can translate quickly into equity moves when fewer investors are trading. Spot gold fell 0.9% to

Transocean stock today nudges higher in premarket after Australia drilling update

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 08:57 ET — Premarket Transocean Ltd shares (RIG) were up 0.2% in premarket trading on Wednesday at $4.14 after closing at $4.13 in the previous session. The offshore driller is trading near the top of its 52-week range and has a market value of about $4.55 billion. Google The move matters because offshore drillers sit downstream of oil-company budgets, and year-end price signals often shape spending plans for the next cycle.

Snap stock dips before the open after CEO Evan Spiegel files to sell 1.26 million shares

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 08:36 ET — Premarket. Snap Inc (SNAP.N) shares were down about 0.3% in premarket trading on Wednesday, after a regulatory filing detailed a planned share sale tied to co-founder and CEO Evan Spiegel. Yahoo Finance The disclosure lands in the final session of 2025, when trading can be choppy and liquidity thin. In that kind of tape, insider-sale notices can have an outsized impact on sentiment even when they do not change a company’s fundamentals.

SoFi stock dips in premarket as thin year-end trading keeps investors cautious

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 08:33 ET — Premarket SoFi Technologies Inc (SOFI.O) shares were down about 0.7% at around $26.37 in premarket trading, MarketWatch data showed. (MarketWatch) The move comes on the final trading day of 2025, with U.S. markets shut on Thursday for New Year’s Day and volumes expected to remain light. (Reuters) That matters because thin liquidity can amplify day-to-day swings, especially in “high-beta” stocks — shares that tend to move more than the overall market. SoFi closed Tuesday at $26.56, down nearly 1% on the day, according to historical pricing data. (StockAnalysis) The stock has now

Under Armour stock steadies near $5 as Fairfax boosts stake to 16.1%

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 07:54 ET — Premarket Under Armour shares held near $5 in premarket indications on Wednesday after filings showed Fairfax Financial Holdings, led by investor V. Prem Watsa, increased its stake in the sportswear maker. Under Armour’s Class A shares (UAA) last closed at $5.14, up about 7.5%, while its Class C shares (UA) ended at $4.93, up about 8.6%. UA Newsroom The disclosure matters because it puts a well-known, deep-pocketed shareholder on the tape at a time when investors have been debating whether Under Armour’s turnaround is stabilizing demand.

BigBear.ai stock slides in premarket after company delays key vote to double authorized shares (BBAI)

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 07:29 ET — Premarket Shares of BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (BBAI) fell 3.2% to $5.50 in premarket trading on Wednesday after the company delayed a shareholder vote on a proposal to double its authorized common stock. The vote would raise the ceiling on how many shares BigBear.ai can issue from 500 million to 1 billion. It does not put new stock into the market by itself, but it gives the board flexibility to sell shares, do stock-based deals or pay employees with equity. That flexibility is in focus because BigBear.ai told investors it is running short

Nu Holdings (NU) stock ticks up in premarket as Nubank heads into a key earnings window

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 08:12 ET — Premarket Shares of Nu Holdings Ltd were up 0.7% at $17.01 in premarket trading on Wednesday, after finishing Tuesday at $16.88, up 1.3%. Yahoo Finance The early move matters because Nu has become a widely held proxy for high-growth Latin American consumer finance, and year-end liquidity can exaggerate price swings even on routine positioning. Zacks Investment Research said investors are turning attention to Nu’s next quarterly report, forecasting earnings per share of $0.18 on revenue of $4.56 billion; for the full year, it projects EPS of $0.59 and revenue of $15.65 billion.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 08:04 ET — Premarket MARA Holdings, Inc. shares edged up 0.1% to $9.34 in premarket trading on Wednesday after the bitcoin miner filed to register new shares for employee compensation. Investing.com+1 The filing matters now because MARA and its peers often trade as high-beta proxies for bitcoin, and liquidity can be thin into year-end, amplifying moves on small shifts in risk appetite. MEXC “Year-end de-risking, record ETF outflows, and thin holiday liquidity are keeping the market subdued,” said Wintermute strategist Jasper de Mare in a note on Tuesday.

MarketWatch The move keeps the space company on traders’ screens into year-end, after a sharp run in December tied to U.S. defense-satellite work and fast-moving positioning in high-volatility stocks. Rocket Lab said on Dec. 19 it won an $816 million prime contract — meaning it leads the build — from the U.S. Space Development Agency to design and manufacture 18 missile-tracking satellites; the company said the award includes a $806

BitMine Immersion (BMNR) Stock Today: Ether Treasury Update Keeps Shares in Focus Ahead of Jan. 15 Vote

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 08:00 ET — Premarket BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc shares were little changed in premarket trading on Wednesday, keeping the crypto-treasury stock in focus after the company disclosed a larger ether position and urged shareholders to vote ahead of its annual meeting. The update matters now because BitMine has become a high-beta proxy for ether — meaning its equity can swing sharply with moves in the underlying token as investors try to price the company’s crypto-heavy balance sheet.
