Cisco stock today: CSCO slips on ex-dividend day as Wall Street braces for jobs data

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 21:07 ET — Market closed Cisco Systems, Inc. shares fell on Friday, ending the first trading day of 2026 down about 1.3% at $76.04. The move matters now because investors are heading into the first full trading week of the year with a heavy slate of U.S. economic data and the start of quarterly earnings season. Those catalysts can reset interest-rate expectations and risk appetite, which often ripple through large-cap tech. Reuters Cisco also traded ex-dividend on Friday — the date when new buyers no longer qualify for the next dividend payment. Nasdaq U.S. stocks

Procter & Gamble Stock: PG Forecasts, Dividend Outlook, and What to Watch as Markets Reopen

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 4:36 p.m. ET — Market closed The Procter & Gamble Company stock is heading into the final trading days of 2025 in a classic year-end setup: thin liquidity, a market still flirting with record levels, and investors gravitating toward “quality defense” names while they reset expectations for 2026. In the last regular session before the weekend, PG stock finished at $144.74, with extended-hours trading hovering in the mid-$144 range. MarketBeat With U.S. markets closed Sunday and set to reopen Monday morning, the near-term question for shareholders isn’t whether Procter & Gamble has suddenly changed overnight—it’s

Ares Capital Corporation Stock (ARCC) Watch: Dividend Yield, Rate-Cut Crosscurrents, and What Matters Before Monday’s Open

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 4:36 p.m. ET — Market Closed Ares Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: ARCC) heads into the final trading days of 2025 with investors balancing two powerful forces: a still-strong appetite for high-income stocks and a market narrative increasingly centered on what comes next for U.S. interest rates. With U.S. equity markets closed Sunday, ARCC’s latest read is Friday’s close, when the shares finished at $20.20, up about 1% on the session. Nasdaq That modest gain may not sound dramatic, but it stands out in a holiday-thinned tape where broad indexes were essentially flat-to-slightly lower in the same

Philip Morris International Stock (NYSE: PM) Update: Ex‑Dividend Drop Explained, ZYN Momentum in Focus, and Analyst Targets Ahead of Monday’s Open

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 1:42 p.m. ET — Market closed (weekend). Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE: PM) heads into the final full trading week of 2025 with investors balancing two forces: a mechanically driven “ex-dividend” price reset that hit Friday’s tape, and a longer-running debate over how durable PMI’s smoke‑free growth engine—especially ZYN—can be as competition heats up and regulators keep the category under a microscope. With U.S. equities hovering near record levels into year-end, positioning and headline sensitivity can be amplified by lighter holiday liquidity—conditions that can matter even for defensive, dividend-heavy names like Philip Morris.

(NASDAQ: IEP) wrapped up the final full trading week before year-end with a notable rebound in Friday’s holiday-thinned session, closing at $7.60 and finishing the day up about 3.1%. With U.S. markets closed for the weekend, investors now shift to what matters most before Monday’s open: whether the bounce holds, how to frame IEP’s outsized distribution yield after the December payout, and what expectations look like for the partnership’s next earnings update window.

AGNC Stock News Today: Dividend Timeline, Analyst Targets, and What Matters Before Monday’s Open

As of 1:26 a.m. ET in New York on Saturday, December 27, 2025, U.S. stock exchanges are closed—meaning AGNC Investment Corp. (Nasdaq: AGNC) won’t trade again until the next regular session. Still, the weekend is a useful moment to take inventory—because AGNC is one of those stocks where macro headlines (Fed policy, Treasury yields, mortgage rates, and mortgage-bond spreads) can matter as much as company-specific news. AGNC stock price check: where shares stand heading into the next session AGNC was last quoted around $10.85 per share, with an intraday range of roughly $10.81 to $10.92 and volume around 10.1 million

Medical Properties Trust (MPW) Stock: Dividend Hike, Buyback Plan, and a 2026 Debt Wall in Focus as Wall Street Heads Into Year‑End

NEW YORK — Saturday, December 27, 2025 (12:51 a.m. ET) — With U.S. markets in thin, post‑holiday trading and investors eyeing the traditional “Santa Claus rally” window, Medical Properties Trust Inc. (NYSE: MPW) is heading into the final sessions of 2025 with a familiar mix of income appeal and balance‑sheet anxiety. Reuters MPW, a hospital-focused REIT, last traded around $5.08 after the Friday, December 26 session—modestly higher on the day—while the broader market cooled slightly in light volume and real estate remained the notable laggard sector for 2025.

UOB Stock (SGX: U11) on 26 Dec 2025: Latest News, Analyst Targets, Dividend Outlook and 2026 Margin Risks

United Overseas Bank Limited (UOB) stock (SGX: U11) is ending 2025 in a familiar spot for Singapore bank investors: a steady share price, solid shareholder returns, and an unusually loud debate about credit risk and what “normal” earnings look like once a big provisioning year fades into the rear‑view mirror. As of 26 December 2025, UOB shares were trading around S$35.05–S$35.09, little changed on the day in typically quieter year‑end conditions, with the session showing a S$34.90–S$35.09 range and lighter volume relative to peak days earlier in the month.

OCBC Stock (SGX: O39) Outlook 2026: Record Highs, Dividend Upside, and the Risks Investors Should Watch (as of 25 Dec 2025)

Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited (OCBC) is ending 2025 with its share price hovering near record territory—powered less by “loan growth heroics” and more by two things markets love in a maturing rate cycle: fee income momentum (especially wealth management) and a clearer capital return story. But the same forces that lifted OCBC stock into year-end—Singapore’s safe-haven inflows, falling interest rates, and an increasingly “financial-centre premium” across local banks—also set up 2026’s key debate: Can wealth-led growth and higher payouts offset ongoing margin pressure? The Business Times Below is a detailed, up-to-date roundup of the latest OCBC news, forecasts, and analyst
