Luxury brands’ Instagram Reels views jump 234% as TikTok momentum fades, data show

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 23:21 ET Average video views for luxury brands surged on Instagram’s Reels in the second quarter of 2025, while growth on TikTok slowed sharply, according to industry benchmark data published on Monday. EMARKETER The shift matters as luxury marketers head into 2026 campaign planning with a sharper focus on where short-form video discovery is happening. TikTok has dominated that role for years, but brands have been looking to spread risk across platforms as audience habits evolve. It also adds to the competitive stakes between Meta Platforms, which owns Instagram, and TikTok owner ByteDance as both

Honeywell stock edges down after $58.8 million Army contract update as Fed minutes loom

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 23:07 ET — Market closed Honeywell International Inc. shares ended down 0.14% at $197.09 on Monday and eased to $196.89 in after-hours trading, as investors weighed a small U.S. Army contract update against a softer broader market into year-end. The stock traded between $196.24 and $197.60 during the session and remains within a 52-week range of $168.99 to $227.71.

Southern Copper stock drops late Monday as metals selloff hits miners; what’s next for SCCO

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 23:13 ET — Market closed Southern Copper Corp (SCCO) was last down 2.8% at $145.30 late Monday, tracking a sharp pullback across metals-linked assets. The stock traded between $143.75 and $149.00, with about 1.1 million shares changing hands. The slide matters now because the year-end run in metals has left futures markets prone to abrupt swings when trading conditions tighten. CME Group raised margin requirements for gold, silver and other metals — the cash deposit traders must post to hold futures positions — and the move rippled through mining equities, the Associated Press reported.

Yahoo Finance The move mattered less for the size of the drop than for what it signaled: investors are de-risking into year-end while waiting for fresh clues on interest rates, a key input for valuing big, cash-generating healthcare names.

Chubb Limited stock edges up as reinsurance renewal report flags lower prices; what CB investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 23:10 ET — Market closed. Chubb Limited shares closed up 0.3% at $314.27 on Monday, holding up better than the broader U.S. market in thin year-end trading. The stock’s relative firmness came as insurance investors focused on the Jan. 1 reinsurance renewals after a new industry update pointed to easing prices. That matters now because Jan. 1 is the sector’s biggest annual reset for catastrophe reinsurance — insurance that insurers buy to cap big losses from events such as hurricanes and wildfires.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:55 ET — Market closed. Intuit Inc. shares slipped on Monday after a regulatory filing showed co-founder and director Scott Cook’s family trust plans to sell a fresh block of stock. The TurboTax and QuickBooks maker ended down 0.35% at $674.15, tracking a softer tape for large-cap tech into the final week of the year.

The disclosures matter in year-end trading, when liquidity can be thinner and investors react faster to new filings.

The late-day drift mattered more than usual for a stock that has a near-term calendar: a shareholder record date for the next dividend lands this week, and Stryker’s new president and chief operating officer is set to take the role on Jan. 1.
