NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 5:05 PM ET — After-hours UnitedHealth Group shares were up about 1% at $332.16 in after-hours trading on Tuesday, following the 4 p.m. close. The stock ranged from $329.18 to $336.03 during the day’s session, with about 4.4 million shares traded. The gain came as U.S. stocks ended slightly lower in holiday-thin trading.

AppLovin stock slips after Fed minutes as year-end tech rotation hits APP shares

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 16:58 ET — After-hours AppLovin shares eased in after-hours trading on Tuesday, last down 0.8% at $693.71. The pullback lands as investors thin out risk into year-end and recalibrate expectations for interest rates after the Federal Reserve’s latest meeting minutes. Higher rates typically pressure richly valued growth stocks because future profits are discounted more heavily. Reuters+1 AppLovin has been a standout in 2025, up about 121% year-to-date, leaving the stock more exposed to profit-taking during holiday-light trading. MarketBeat+1 The Fed’s minutes — the detailed account of policymakers’ debate — showed deep divisions at the December

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:05 ET — After-hours Costco Wholesale Corporation shares eased in after-hours trading on Tuesday, with the stock down about 0.2% at $865.65 at 17:05 ET. The late-session drift came as investors wrapped up a holiday-thinned trading week and digested signals on interest rates, a key input for valuation across the market. U.S. equities finished slightly lower and Federal Reserve minutes released on Tuesday underscored a nuanced debate over economic risks. Reuters For Costco, the timing matters because the next company read on demand is close. The warehouse retailer is scheduled to publish its December sales

Goldman Sachs stock slips after Fed minutes — here’s what traders are watching next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 16:52 ET — After-hours Goldman Sachs shares slipped on Tuesday, down about 0.9% at $884.42 in after-hours trading. The stock traded between $881.25 and $895.39 during the session. The move matters because Goldman is a bellwether for investment banks, where shifts in rate expectations can ripple through trading activity, dealmaking sentiment and risk appetite. It also comes at a tricky moment on the calendar. Thin year-end volumes can amplify small moves, especially in high-priced Dow components like Goldman. Other big banks were mixed to lower in late trading, with JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley and Bank of

UK savers with £5,001 in the bank get a fresh warning as Yorkshire Building Society flags 12 million low-rate accounts

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 16:40 ET Yorkshire Building Society said new research shows more than 12 million UK current accounts hold balances of £5,001 or more while paying interest of 1% or less.

Netflix stock dips after hours as Warner Bros seen rejecting Paramount bid in latest twist

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 4:42 PM ET — After-hours Netflix (NFLX.O) shares slipped in after-hours trade on Tuesday after a report said Warner Bros Discovery was expected to reject Paramount Skydance’s latest hostile bid, keeping Netflix’s offer in play. Netflix was down about 0.4% at $93.78. The bidding fight matters now because it has become the clearest near-term driver for Netflix sentiment, with investors weighing deal certainty against the risk of a higher price or tougher terms.

Intel stock climbs as Nvidia finalizes $5 billion stake — what’s next for INTC

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 4:32 PM ET — After-hours Intel (INTC) shares rose about 1.7% to $37.30 in after-hours trading on Tuesday, extending gains from the prior session after the chipmaker confirmed Nvidia’s $5 billion investment has closed. The confirmation lands as Intel tries to rebuild investor confidence around a turnaround that requires heavy spending on manufacturing and next-generation chip development. It also crystallizes one of the more unusual alignments in the sector: the world’s leading AI chip company taking a large equity stake in a longtime CPU rival, while both compete for data-center dollars.

That matters now because Strategy often finances purchases by selling new shares,

JPMorgan stock today: JPM dips after hours as Fed minutes keep rate bets in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 16:37 ET — After-hours JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE: JPM) shares slipped about 0.1% in after-hours trading on Tuesday to $323.42, after moving between $322.52 and $324.89 during the session. The move kept the bank in step with a market still taking its cues from interest-rate expectations. For lenders, the path of rates matters because it feeds directly into net interest income — the spread between what banks earn on loans and what they pay on deposits. That sensitivity is back in focus as investors rebalance positions into year-end and look ahead to the first

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 16:33 ET — After-hours Alphabet Inc’s Class C shares (GOOG), which carry no voting rights, were up 0.1% at $314.55 in after-hours trading on Tuesday, after the regular U.S. session ended at 4 p.m. ET.

AMD stock today: After-hours dip tracks year-end chip rotation after Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 16:28 ET — After-hours Advanced Micro Devices shares nudged lower in after-hours trading on Tuesday, keeping the chipmaker close to its regular-session range as investors digested fresh Federal Reserve signals and year-end positioning. The timing matters because liquidity is thin in the final days of the year, which can magnify moves in high-volatility technology stocks. Semiconductors often swing with shifts in rate expectations, since much of their value depends on future earnings.

Amazon stock ticks up as court blocks NLRB challenge; what AMZN investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 4:07 PM ET — After-hours Amazon.com, Inc. shares ended slightly higher on Tuesday as investors digested a U.S. appeals court ruling that kept a labor-board case on the agency track.

Apple stock slips after Fed minutes as year-end trading thins — what AAPL investors are watching

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 16:06 ET — After-hours Apple Inc (AAPL) shares were last down about 0.2% at $273.18 in Tuesday’s regular session, after trading between $272.28 and $274.00. The iPhone maker’s market value stood near $3.0 trillion and the stock traded at about 30 times trailing earnings. The move mattered because Apple is one of the biggest stocks in U.S. benchmarks, and small price changes can carry outsized influence when markets are lightly staffed and liquidity is thin. Investors used the lull to trim crowded positions in the biggest technology names after recent gains. “The valuation gap is

The iShares Semiconductor ETF was little changed on the day. A shifting mix of demand is driving the debate. Research firm IDC said major suppliers have redirected capacity toward AI data-center parts
