Verizon stock today: VZ edges up as DOJ DEI probe headline hangs over telecom ahead of Jan. 30 earnings

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 15:17 ET — Regular session Verizon Communications Inc shares were up 0.5% at $40.69 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, bucking a mostly flat U.S. market as investors digested new regulatory scrutiny and looked ahead to the carrier’s next earnings update. Reuters The latest headline matters because legal and compliance risk can move quickly for large government contractors, and telecoms are already grappling with intense competition and heavy capital spending. Any shift in policy pressure can influence costs, disclosures and management attention. Reuters It also lands during year-end, low-liquidity trading, when relatively small flows can push

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 15:14 ET — Regular session Shares of TIC Solutions, Inc. (TIC) fell about 3.5% to $10.02 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, underperforming a largely steady U.S. equity market. The stock last closed at $10.38.

Reuters The slide matters for TIC because investors have been focused on execution rather than

Applied Materials stock slips as China’s 50% domestic chip-tool rule puts AMAT in the spotlight

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 15:20 ET — Regular session Applied Materials, Inc. (AMAT.O) shares slipped on Tuesday, with investors weighing fresh signs of tougher competition in China for semiconductor equipment makers. The stock was down 1.1% at $260.27 in mid-afternoon New York trade. The stock drew attention after Reuters reported China is requiring chipmakers seeking approval to build or expand fabs to use at least 50% domestically made equipment when adding new capacity. The measure is not publicly documented and is enforced through procurement tenders, people familiar with the matter told Reuters, and authorities can relax the threshold where

Why Travere Therapeutics (TVTX) stock is down today as insider sales hit the tape ahead of a key FDA date

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 15:16 ET — Regular session Travere Therapeutics Inc shares were down about 3.8% at $37.39 on Tuesday afternoon, extending losses after recent insider-trading disclosures. The stock traded between $37.27 and $39.20, with about 893,000 shares changing hands. (TVTX quote) The selling matters because it lands just weeks before a major regulatory milestone for the rare-disease drugmaker. Traders often react to clusters of insider sales — even when they are planned — as they reassess near-term positioning. Travere, based in San Diego, markets Filspari for a kidney disease called IgA nephropathy, and is seeking an expansion

Qualcomm stock edges up as Fed minutes hit; QCOM eyes Feb. 4 earnings call

Qualcomm stock edges up as Fed minutes hit; QCOM eyes Feb. 4 earnings call

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 15:14 ET — Regular session Qualcomm (QCOM.O) shares were up about 0.2% at $173.75 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, hovering near Monday’s close as markets digested new details on the U.S. interest-rate outlook. That matters for Qualcomm and other semiconductor names because investors often value them like “growth” stocks, whose prices can swing when bond yields move. In year-end trading, the rate narrative can outweigh company-specific headlines. Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Dec. 9-10 meeting — the detailed account of policymakers’ debate — showed officials split even after approving a quarter-point, or 0.25 percentage point,

Catalyst Pharmaceuticals stock drops 3% today as CPRX lags biotech in thin year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 2:30 PM ET — Regular session Shares of Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. fell 3.0% to $23.33 in afternoon trading on Tuesday. The stock has traded between $23.30 and $24.10 so far in the session. The drop matters because trading can get choppy in the final days of the year, when fewer investors are active and price moves can be exaggerated. Mid-cap healthcare names often swing more than the major indexes in that setting. Catalyst fell 1.2% on Monday to close at $24.06, according to MarketWatch data, and it remains well below its June 9 52-week high

The stock has traded between $280.19 and $284.09 so far in the session, with about 694,000 shares changing hands. The soft patch matters because Seagate has been one of 2025’s standout infrastructure winners, leaving the stock more sensitive to shifts in sentiment around cloud budgets, storage pricing and the durability of the AI spending cycle. Investors are also closing

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:30 ET — Regular session Shares of Kymera Therapeutics fell about 3% to $77.94 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, lagging a broader biotech dip. The SPDR S&P Biotech ETF was down about 1.4%, while the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF slipped about 1.1%. The pullback matters because Kymera has been one of the sector’s higher-volatility names this month, after a surge tied to new clinical data and a subsequent stock sale that increased its share count. With most of its next major readouts still far off, investors have been quick to reprice the stock around financing

SEC+1 The disclosure matters because Nebius has become a closely watched AI infrastructure name, where investors have been quick to react to any potential increase in share supply. Year-end trading can amplify moves, as fewer shares changing hands can push prices around. SEC Form 144 is the SEC notice insiders file when they intend to sell “control” securities, typically ahead of the actual transactions.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 3:07 PM ET — Regular session Shares of Almonty Industries Inc fell about 3.9% to $8.90 in afternoon trading on Tuesday after giving up an early rise, with the stock swinging between $8.90 and $9.39.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 3:01 PM ET — Regular session SoFi Technologies, Inc. shares were down 0.1% at $26.80 on Tuesday afternoon, after trading between $26.65 and $27.14. The Federal Reserve released minutes from its Dec. 9–10 meeting at 2:00 p.m. ET, putting fresh attention on how quickly policymakers might cut interest rates again.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:54 ET — Regular session Shares of Praxis Precision Medicines Inc (NASDAQ: PRAX) slipped about 3% on Tuesday, giving back part of a sharp rally sparked by an FDA regulatory boost for its lead essential tremor program. The stock was down 3% at $295.50 as of 2:39 p.m. ET, after opening at $304.00 and trading between $286.58 and $304.70.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 3:00 PM ET — Regular session Western Digital Corp shares fell 1.7% to $176.55 on Tuesday, after opening higher and sliding through the afternoon. The stock touched $181.34 earlier in the session before dipping as low as $176.31. The pullback lands after a standout year for the data-storage maker, whose shares have surged about 303% in 2025, making it one of the S&P 500’s biggest gainers. That steep run has made the stock a frequent target for late-December portfolio reshuffling. Barron’s Broader U.S. indexes were little changed in choppy, light-volume trading, with investors repositioning inside

Carvana stock drifts in thin trade after Fed minutes — what CVNA investors are watching

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:52 ET — Regular session Carvana Co shares edged lower on Tuesday afternoon, trading down less than 0.1% at $433.32, as year-end portfolio shifts kept risk appetite uneven across consumer names. The muted move matters because Carvana has become a high-beta momentum stock after a sharp turnaround, and thin holiday volumes can exaggerate day-to-day swings even when headlines are light. Investors also had fresh Federal Reserve minutes to digest. Rate expectations matter for used-car demand because financing costs influence monthly payments, a key factor for many buyers. Broader U.S. markets were subdued in choppy trading,

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:58 ET — Regular session Caris Life Sciences shares were down about 1.8% at $27.44 as of 2:41 p.m. ET, after trading between $27.00 and $27.97 during Tuesday’s session. The drop came as biotech stocks underperformed, with the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF down about 1.5% and the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF off about 1.2%. The S&P 500 was little changed and the Nasdaq was flat, Reuters data showed. Reuters That matters for Caris because the newly public cancer diagnostics company tends to move with shifts in risk appetite for healthcare growth names, even when there

Biotech stocks lagged, with the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF down about 1.1%, while the healthcare sector ETF was roughly flat and the S&P 500 ETF hovered near unchanged.

Texas Instruments stock today: TXN flat after ReRAM licensing deal as Fed minutes land

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:44 ET — Regular session Texas Instruments Incorporated (TXN) shares were little changed on Tuesday after memory developer Weebit Nano said it had licensed its resistive random access memory, or ReRAM, technology to the chipmaker.

Mastercard stock dips in thin year-end trade as Fed minutes sharpen rate focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:45 ET — Regular session Mastercard Incorporated shares were down 0.3% at $576.37 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, after moving between $574.55 and $579.49 earlier in the session. Volume was about 683,000 shares. The small move still matters into year-end because investors use card networks as a bellwether for consumer spending. Mastercard earns fees when transactions run across its network, so shifts in shopping and travel can show up quickly in volume trends. Rates are also front and center for the group. Payment processors trade like high-quality growth stocks inside financials, which can make them
