IBM stock price today: Shares slip as Fed minutes loom in thin year-end trade

IBM stock price today: Shares slip as Fed minutes loom in thin year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:30 ET — Regular session International Business Machines (IBM.N) shares slipped about 0.5% on Tuesday. At 11:15 a.m. ET, the stock was down $1.63 at $304.11, after trading between $302.73 and $306.24 and opening at $306.15. Volume was about 462,000 shares. The move matters now because year-end trading is typically thin, and modest shifts in risk appetite can push large-cap names around. For IBM, the market’s view on interest rates also feeds into how investors price steady, cash-generating tech stocks. Investors were awaiting the Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes — the detailed record of policymakers’ debate

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:18 ET — Regular session UnitedHealth Group Incorporated shares rose about 1.3% to $333.32 in late-morning trade on Tuesday, after swinging between $329.18 and $336.03. Humana gained about 0.5%, Elevance Health and Cigna edged higher, while CVS Health slipped; the Health Care Select Sector SPDR ETF was down about 0.1%. The move came as Wall Street drifted lower in thin holiday trading, with technology shares under pressure and U.S. markets set to close on Thursday for New Year’s Day. “I wouldn’t try to make too much out of anything that happens in a holiday-shortened week,”

GE Vernova stock today: Why GEV is holding near $665 as Fed minutes loom

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:25 ET — Regular session GE Vernova Inc. shares were up about 0.2% at $664.52 in morning trade on Tuesday. The stock has traded between $660.91 and $667.99 so far in the session. The power-equipment maker has become a high-profile way to play rising electricity demand tied to data centers and grid spending. That has put the stock in a high-valuation cohort where shifts in interest-rate expectations can drive day-to-day moves. U.S. stocks edged lower in thin holiday trading, with investors waiting for minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Dec. 9-10 meeting due later Tuesday. “I

Atmos Energy starts Kingsport’s Watauga Street gas line upgrades Jan. 5 — what to expect

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:06 ET Atmos Energy will begin upgrading natural gas lines along Watauga Street in Kingsport, Tennessee, on Jan. 5, the city said on Tuesday. Local outlet WJHL reported the work will be carried out in phases along the corridor. https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/atmos-energy-to-update-kingsports-watauga-street-gas-lines/ The timeline matters for residents and businesses because crews are set to start preparations immediately after the New Year holiday, and the project runs through a busy stretch of road for months.

Costco stock today: Why COST is slipping in thin year-end trade ahead of Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:20 ET — Regular session Costco Wholesale Corporation shares fell on Tuesday, down 0.5% at $863.08 as of 11:05 a.m. ET. The S&P 500 ETF was little changed. The muted move came in a holiday-shortened week marked by light trading volumes, with U.S. markets closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day. “I wouldn’t try to make too much out of anything that happens in a holiday-shortened week,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B Riley Wealth.

Walmart stock slips after app outage; filing details Sam’s Club CEO sale plan

Walmart stock slips after app outage; filing details Sam’s Club CEO sale plan

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:12 ET — Regular session. Walmart Inc shares edged lower on Tuesday after the retailer’s mobile app and website suffered a short outage that disrupted access for shoppers. The stock was down about 0.3% at $112.17 in late-morning trading. The timing matters because Walmart’s digital storefront is a critical front door in the post-holiday period, when shoppers often make returns, exchange gifts and chase year-end discounts online. Even brief outages can weigh on conversion rates — the share of visits that turn into completed purchases. The stock move also came in thin year-end trading as

Coinbase stock dips after Needham cuts target to $290 on weak crypto volumes

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:54 ET — Regular session Coinbase Global (COIN.O) shares were down 0.1% at $233.47 on Tuesday after Needham cut its price target on the crypto exchange operator, citing continued weakness in crypto trading volumes. “Even if crypto prices are near a bottom, retail volumes typically remain muted until momentum returns,” Needham analyst John Todaro told investors. TipRanks The call matters because Coinbase’s revenue still swings with how much customers trade, not just where bitcoin is priced. Late-December sessions are typically thin, and that can expose any slowdown in activity. Needham’s trimmed target still sits above

Silver ETF SLV hit its worst day in five years — then bounced back as China export rules and margin hikes bite

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:52 ET The iShares Silver Trust, the biggest U.S. silver-backed exchange-traded fund (ETF), fell about 7% on Monday in its steepest one-day drop in five years as silver prices retreated from record highs. SLV was up about 4% in Tuesday trading, a sign that volatility has not left a market that has surged through year-end. The swings matter because ETFs such as SLV have become a main channel for retail investors to trade silver without storing the metal. Sharp reversals can force fast exits in crowded trades, especially late in the year when liquidity is

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:48 ET — Regular session Eli Lilly and Company shares were down $1.73, or about 0.2%, at $1,077.00 in morning trading on Tuesday. The move comes as investors focus on whether the weight-loss boom is entering a tougher phase on pricing, not just supply. Lilly’s obesity franchise has helped propel the stock, so any sign of discounting tends to land quickly with traders. The issue matters now because competition is widening beyond the United States and into markets where access and affordability drive demand. For GLP-1 drugs — medicines that mimic a gut hormone to

The move comes as investors look for fresh signals on retail trading demand into year-end, with Robinhood expected to publish a December activity snapshot after the closing bell. Needham lowered its price target on Robinhood to $135 from $145 while reiterating a Buy rating, citing expectations that crypto trading volumes stay weak for the next couple of quarters.

Exxon Mobil stock rises today as oil steadies on geopolitics — what traders are watching next for XOM

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:53 ET — Regular session Exxon Mobil shares rose about 0.5% to $121.19 in late morning trading, after moving between $121.00 and $121.75. The move mattered because Exxon, like other big integrated oil companies, tends to trade with crude prices day-to-day. Oil has been the main driver for the sector as investors react to fast-changing geopolitical headlines and near-term supply constraints. Brent and U.S. West Texas Intermediate — the global and U.S. oil benchmarks used to price most crude trades — were modestly higher on Tuesday after both jumped more than 2% in the prior

The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq were all slightly in the red, with investors also awaiting the Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes — the detailed record of its latest policy discussion.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:15 ET — Regular session Allied Gold Corporation shares were up 71 cents, or about 3.1%, at $23.67 in morning trading on Tuesday. The move tracked a broader rebound in precious-metals-linked names after bullion swung sharply over the past two sessions. That matters now because thin year-end liquidity can exaggerate moves, and gold’s price swings tend to ripple quickly into miners’ shares, which investors often treat as leveraged bets on the metal. Gold fell hard on Monday after hitting a record high late last week, as traders locked in profits following the rally. Spot gold

U.S. bank stocks were mixed, with Bank of America up 0.2%, while Citigroup fell 0.9% and Goldman Sachs slid 0.8%. For JPMorgan, the biggest near-term driver remains the outlook for interest rates.

The Nasdaq-listed health sciences company said it halted daily buying on Dec. 4 and will keep its 510 bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset.

MarketWatch The move matters because Oracle is trading like a rate-sensitive, high-valuation software name, with investors using macro signals to price long-dated growth.

India’s UPI boom hits cigarette kiosks — but “cash is still king” in India

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:08 ET Cigarette and tobacco kiosks have become one of the fastest-growing merchant categories on India’s Unified Payments Interface, with transaction volumes rising more than eightfold between November 2023 and November 2025, a Moneycontrol analysis reported. The shift matters because India’s digital payments push is increasingly leaning on everyday, low-value purchases to keep UPI growth humming, even as cash remains entrenched in parts of the economy where digital adoption is harder and tax compliance is looser.

A report saying Warner is expected to reject Paramount Skydance’s revised hostile bid put the focus back on Netflix’s proposed deal for the media company’s assets.

The moves matter because Strategy has become a high-beta proxy for bitcoin: when the token swings, the stock often swings more.
