P&G stock rises after Crest toothpaste label deal in Texas puts PG back in focus

P&G stock rises after Crest toothpaste label deal in Texas puts PG back in focus

New York, January 8, 2026, 21:32 EST — Market closed Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) shares rose 2.5% on Thursday to $141.53, after trading between $137.81 and $141.78. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said the company agreed to change marketing and packaging for Crest children’s toothpaste to better show the recommended amount. The agreement matters because it draws a major consumer brand into a fast-moving debate over kids’ products and advertising claims. For investors, it highlights how legal and regulatory friction can surface quickly, even for “defensive” consumer staples names often bought for steady demand. The calendar timing is awkward. With

AbbVie stock drops after Revolution deal denial, $1.3 billion charge spooks traders

New York, January 8, 2026, 13:12 ET — Regular session AbbVie Inc shares fell on Thursday after the drugmaker denied takeover talks with Revolution Medicines and flagged a $1.3 billion fourth-quarter charge that will dent its 2025 profit outlook. AbbVie stock (ABBV) was down 3.7% at $224.84 at 1:12 p.m. ET, after swinging between $231.93 and $223.84. The decline takes steam out of a rally sparked by a Wall Street Journal report that AbbVie was in advanced talks to buy Revolution Medicines. AbbVie told Reuters it “is not in discussions with Revolution Medicines,” and also trimmed its 2025 profit forecast

Netflix stock steadies in premarket as it backs Warner Bros deal amid Paramount bid

Netflix stock steadies in premarket as it backs Warner Bros deal amid Paramount bid

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 06:22 EST — Premarket Netflix stock (NFLX) inched up 0.1% to $90.73 in premarket trading on Thursday after the streaming company reaffirmed its commitment to a proposed deal for key Warner Bros. Discovery assets. The fresh statement matters because the takeover fight around Warner Bros. Discovery has become the main near-term overhang for Netflix shares, with investors weighing potential dilution, regulatory scrutiny and the risk that a rival bidder forces a higher price. Warner Bros. Discovery’s board on Wednesday urged shareholders to reject Paramount Skydance’s amended tender offer — a bid made directly to shareholders

Air China stock jumps on $9.5 billion Airbus jet deal — what Shanghai investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 08:30 ET — Market closed Air China’s Shanghai-listed shares (601111.SS) rose 3.3% to 9.37 yuan at the last close on Dec. 31 after the flag carrier disclosed a large order for Airbus narrow-body aircraft. Google+1 The deal matters now because it adds to a late-year run of Airbus orders in China’s aviation market, a sign airlines are still planning fleet growth even as fare and competition pressures linger. It also underscores Airbus’ edge over Boeing in China as geopolitics weigh on U.S. planemakers’ sales prospects. Reuters For investors, the focus is less on near-term capacity

Semiconductor Stocks Today (Dec 25, 2025): Nvidia–Groq Deal, Micron’s HBM Boom, Intel Foundry Questions, and 2026 Forecasts

December 25, 2025 — U.S. markets are closed for Christmas, but the semiconductor sector enters the holiday break with momentum, fresh AI-driven headlines, and a growing stack of 2026 forecasts that are increasingly shaping how investors think about chip stocks. A holiday-shortened session on Wednesday (Dec. 24) delivered record closes for major U.S. indexes, while chip names stayed central to the “AI spending vs. valuation” debate that has defined the second half of 2025.

EU Stock Markets Today (24 December 2025): STOXX 600 Flat on Christmas Eve as BP Castrol Deal, Sanofi’s Dynavax Move and Record Metals Set the Tone

EU stock markets traded in a distinctly “holiday mode” on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, with liquidity thinning sharply as several exchanges either closed entirely or ran shortened sessions for Christmas Eve. The STOXX 600—a widely followed pan-European benchmark that investors often use as a proxy for the region—was flat at 588.93 by 08:09 GMT, pausing after a run of fresh highs earlier in the week. Reuters The muted headline move, however, masked a handful of themes that still mattered to investors positioning into year-end: energy shares were supported by firmer oil, miners followed another surge in precious metals, and large-cap deal news brought individual names back into focus—even in a shortened session.

Shriram Finance Share Price Hits Fresh 52-Week High on MUFG Deal, Breaks Into India’s Top-50 Most Valuable Club

Mumbai | December 24, 2025 — Shriram Finance is extending a breakout rally that has turned the NBFC into one of Dalal Street’s standout stories of late 2025. In early trade on Wednesday, the stock pushed to a fresh 52-week high near ₹983, keeping it firmly on investors’ radar after Japan’s MUFG Bank agreed to take a 20% stake in what is being described as a landmark foreign investment into India’s financial services space. Moneycontrol+1 The momentum is also spilling into the broader market narrative: a steady Nifty, selective risk-taking in financials and consumer names, and a fresh cluster of

Shriram Finance Ltd Stock News (Dec 20, 2025): MUFG’s ₹39,618 Crore Deal, Record High Rally, and What Analysts Forecast Next

Mumbai/New Delhi (Dec 20, 2025) — Shriram Finance Limited (NSE: SHRIRAMFIN, BSE: 511218) is ending the week as one of India’s most-watched NBFC stocks after Japan’s MUFG Bank agreed to make a landmark investment that would give it a 20% stake in the lender on a fully diluted basis. The announcement helped push Shriram Finance share price to a fresh record/52-week high in Friday’s session, capping a sharp run that accelerated after deal talks surfaced earlier in the quarter.

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Stock After Hours Today (Dec. 18, 2025): Netflix Deal Math, CNN/Standard General Rumors, and What to Watch Before Friday’s Open

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. Series A (NASDAQ: WBD) finished Thursday’s session in the red — and then went quiet after the bell. As of 6:00 p.m. ET on Dec. 18, 2025, WBD shares were flat in after-hours trading at $27.61, matching the 4:00 p.m. close. On the day, the stock fell $0.60 (-2.13%), with a $28.38 high and $27.41 low, on roughly 64.2 million shares traded. That closing price matters for one big reason: $27.61 is now slightly below the headline $27.75 per-share value in Netflix’s agreed cash-and-stock transaction — before considering any value (positive or negative) assigned by the

Hindustan Zinc Hits Fresh 52-Week High as Silver Breaks $65; Shriram Finance–MUFG Deal, Vedanta Demerger Lift Breakout Stocks (Dec 18, 2025)

Indian equity benchmarks opened nearly flat on Thursday, December 18, 2025, after three straight sessions of losses, as a modest rebound in the rupee and renewed foreign buying offered support even while most major sectors started lower. Reuters But beneath the quiet headline indices, a clear theme is playing out on Dalal Street: select “breakout” counters are printing fresh 52-week highs, powered by a mix of commodity tailwinds (especially silver) and deal/corporate-action catalysts. A late-session market scan on Wednesday showed six BSE 500 names hitting new 52-week highs—Hindustan Zinc, The India Cements, Kirloskar Oil Engines, National Aluminium Company (NALCO), Shriram
