Amazon stock braces for Monday after Amazon scraps Italy drone deliveries

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 18:43 ET — Market closed Amazon.com (AMZN.O) shares will be in focus when U.S. trading resumes on Monday after the company halted plans for commercial drone deliveries in Italy, citing regulatory hurdles.

Microsoft stock barely budges as year-end trading turns to Fed minutes and January earnings

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 18:37 ET — Market closed Microsoft Corp shares were little changed at the end of the holiday-shortened week, with U.S. markets closed on Sunday and investors turning attention to the final three trading days of 2025. The software maker’s stock last traded at $487.71, down 0.04% from the prior close, giving it a market value of about $3.85 trillion.

Meta stock ends lower as New York warning-label law and teen-user leak renew scrutiny

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 18:31 ET — Market closed Meta Platforms shares slipped in light post-Christmas trading on Friday, with investors weighing fresh scrutiny over teen engagement and “addictive” social-media features. The Washington Post+1 The issue matters for Meta because youth safety is shifting from reputational risk into rules, enforcement actions and lawsuits that can force product changes.
