GOOG stock ends lower as year-end tech trade cools — what Alphabet investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:41 ET — After-hours Alphabet Inc’s Class C (non-voting) shares (GOOG.O) ended the regular session down 0.4% on Monday and were little changed after the bell as heavyweight technology stocks pulled back in thin year-end trading. In after-hours trading — electronic trading after the 4 p.m. close — GOOG traded around $314.4. Yahoo Finance The drift lower matters now because Alphabet has been a key beneficiary of the 2025 run in large-cap technology, leaving investors sensitive to any pause in the sector as December liquidity thins. Alphabet is up roughly two-thirds in 2025, according to

Strategy (MSTR) stock slips after-hours after SEC filing details fresh $108.8 million bitcoin buy

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:47 ET — After-hours Strategy Inc (MSTR) shares were last down 2.2% at $155.39 in after-hours trading on Monday after the company disclosed another bitcoin purchase funded by selling new shares. SEC The move matters because Strategy has positioned itself as a “Bitcoin Treasury Company,” tying its equity more tightly to bitcoin’s swings than most U.S. software stocks. Strategy Investors have also become more sensitive to dilution — when issuing new stock reduces existing shareholders’ ownership percentage — as Strategy continues to tap capital markets to accumulate the cryptocurrency.

Microsoft stock edges lower after the bell as year-end trade cools tech; MSFT investors eye Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:35 ET — After-hours Microsoft Corp shares ended Monday down about 0.1% at $487.11, after trading between $484.18 and $488.35 in the regular session. The stock was down about 0.1% in after-hours trading, the period after the 4 p.m. ET market close. StockAnalysis The muted move matters because Microsoft is one of the biggest weights in U.S. equity indexes, and late-December liquidity is thin as 2025 winds down. In that backdrop, small shifts in mega-cap technology can sway benchmarks and amplify day-to-day moves. U.S. stocks slipped broadly on Monday, with the S&P 500 down 0.3%

Apple Stock Steadies After Hours as Year-End Trading Turns Choppy; Fed Minutes Next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:14 ET — After-hours Apple Inc shares were up about 0.1% in after-hours trading at $273.74 on Monday, after slipping 0.15% in the regular session. The move matters because Apple is a heavyweight in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, so even a small swing can move index performance and risk sentiment when liquidity is thin. That matters more in the final week of the year, with U.S. markets closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day and few major corporate catalysts on the calendar.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:24 ET — After-hours Palantir Technologies Inc (PLTR) shares fell $4.51, or 2.4%, to $184.20 in after-hours trading on Monday. The stock traded between $183.67 and $188.01 in the regular session, with about 26.4 million shares changing hands.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 4:09 PM ET — After-hours Micron Technology (MU) shares rose 3.4% on Monday to end at $294.40, rebounding from an early slide and finishing near the session high. The stock traded between $278.51 and $294.45 on volume of about 25.6 million shares, market data showed.
