Qualcomm stock edges up as Fed minutes hit; QCOM eyes Feb. 4 earnings call

Qualcomm stock edges up as Fed minutes hit; QCOM eyes Feb. 4 earnings call

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 15:14 ET — Regular session Qualcomm (QCOM.O) shares were up about 0.2% at $173.75 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, hovering near Monday’s close as markets digested new details on the U.S. interest-rate outlook. That matters for Qualcomm and other semiconductor names because investors often value them like “growth” stocks, whose prices can swing when bond yields move. In year-end trading, the rate narrative can outweigh company-specific headlines. Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Dec. 9-10 meeting — the detailed account of policymakers’ debate — showed officials split even after approving a quarter-point, or 0.25 percentage point,
SoFi stock today: SOFI barely moves after Fed minutes; what investors watch next

SoFi stock today: SOFI barely moves after Fed minutes; what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 3:01 PM ET — Regular session SoFi Technologies, Inc. shares were down 0.1% at $26.80 on Tuesday afternoon, after trading between $26.65 and $27.14. The Federal Reserve released minutes from its Dec. 9–10 meeting at 2:00 p.m. ET, putting fresh attention on how quickly policymakers might cut interest rates again. Federal Reserve That matters for SoFi because investors tend to treat the fintech lender as sensitive to shifts in borrowing costs, which can influence consumer demand for loans and a lender’s funding expenses. Trading across Wall Street was choppy in a holiday-shortened week, with investors
Carvana stock drifts in thin trade after Fed minutes — what CVNA investors are watching

Carvana stock drifts in thin trade after Fed minutes — what CVNA investors are watching

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:52 ET — Regular session Carvana Co shares edged lower on Tuesday afternoon, trading down less than 0.1% at $433.32, as year-end portfolio shifts kept risk appetite uneven across consumer names. The muted move matters because Carvana has become a high-beta momentum stock after a sharp turnaround, and thin holiday volumes can exaggerate day-to-day swings even when headlines are light. Investors also had fresh Federal Reserve minutes to digest. Rate expectations matter for used-car demand because financing costs influence monthly payments, a key factor for many buyers. Broader U.S. markets were subdued in choppy trading,
Mastercard stock dips in thin year-end trade as Fed minutes sharpen rate focus

Mastercard stock dips in thin year-end trade as Fed minutes sharpen rate focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:45 ET — Regular session Mastercard Incorporated shares were down 0.3% at $576.37 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, after moving between $574.55 and $579.49 earlier in the session. Volume was about 683,000 shares. The small move still matters into year-end because investors use card networks as a bellwether for consumer spending. Mastercard earns fees when transactions run across its network, so shifts in shopping and travel can show up quickly in volume trends. Rates are also front and center for the group. Payment processors trade like high-quality growth stocks inside financials, which can make them
Ares Management stock drops 3% in New York as Fed minutes hit year-end trading

Ares Management stock drops 3% in New York as Fed minutes hit year-end trading

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 2:20 PM ET — Regular session Shares of Ares Management Corp fell 3.1% to $163.85 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, down $5.20 from Monday’s close. The stock traded between $168.99 and $163.49, with about 966,000 shares changing hands. The move matters because Ares is closely tied to credit-market conditions. Investors are weighing where interest rates settle in early 2026 and what that means for fundraising, deal activity and returns in private credit. A Reuters Breakingviews column said private credit is losing some of its pricing edge as bank-led bond and loan markets regain momentum, pushing

PayPal stock slips in late trade after Fed minutes; here’s what PYPL investors are watching next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:33 ET — Regular session PayPal Holdings (PYPL.O) shares were down about 0.6% at $59.14 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, after the Federal Reserve’s latest meeting minutes sharpened the debate over where interest rates go next. The move matters because liquidity is thin into year-end, when smaller trades can have an outsized impact on price. For consumer-facing fintech names like PayPal, rate expectations and spending signals can quickly swing sentiment. Investors are also recalibrating for 2026 after fresh color from the Fed on how comfortable policymakers are with further easing. The minutes are a detailed

Spotify stock dips today as Fed minutes loom and investors parse its 2025 feature push

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:32 ET — Regular session Spotify Technology S.A. (NYSE: SPOT) shares were down about 0.6% at $577.84 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, after swinging between $576.69 and $584.52. The stock’s drift came as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq were subdued in choppy, year-end trading, with investors awaiting the Fed’s December meeting minutes later in the day. “It’s just a healthy rebalancing of allocations more so than an emotionally driven sell-off,” said Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide. Reuters For Spotify, the timing matters because the market’s appetite for growth stocks often moves with interest-rate
Schwab stock slips as Fed minutes put rate outlook back in focus

Schwab stock slips as Fed minutes put rate outlook back in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:00 ET — Regular session The Charles Schwab Corp’s shares were down 0.6% at $100.69 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, after opening at $101.58 and trading between $100.34 and $101.60. The broader market was little changed, while rivals Interactive Brokers and Robinhood also traded lower. The move matters because Schwab earns a large share of its revenue from client cash, making the stock sensitive to shifts in interest-rate expectations. That sensitivity can show up quickly on quiet days, when small changes in rate bets have an outsized impact on financial stocks. Investors are also looking
Marvell stock rises today as Fed minutes loom — and a CES CEO chat is next

Marvell stock rises today as Fed minutes loom — and a CES CEO chat is next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 13:29 ET — Regular session Marvell Technology (MRVL) shares rose 1.1% to $86.74 in early afternoon trading on Tuesday, after swinging between $85.58 and $88.07. The move matters because Marvell sits in the center of spending on AI data centers, an area where budgets and valuations tend to react quickly when interest-rate expectations shift. Traders were also bracing for thin, year-end liquidity, which can amplify intraday moves. Reuters Investors also have a near-term company catalyst: a Jan. 6 CES fireside chat hosted by J.P. Morgan with Marvell CEO Matt Murphy, the company’s investor relations calendar
Wells Fargo stock slips as Fed minutes loom in thin year-end trading

Wells Fargo stock slips as Fed minutes loom in thin year-end trading

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 13:55 ET — Regular session. Wells Fargo & Company shares slipped on Tuesday as U.S. financial stocks eased in holiday-thin trading ahead of the Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes. At 1:55 p.m. ET, Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) was down about 0.4% at $94.15, after trading between $94.00 and $95.00 on the session. Reuters The move matters because bank stocks tend to key off interest-rate expectations. Rates drive net interest income — the spread between what banks earn on loans and what they pay on deposits — and even small changes in that spread can swing earnings forecasts.

Freshpet stock slides as Fed minutes loom in thin year-end trade (FRPT)

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 1:59 PM ET — Regular session Freshpet, Inc. shares were down 3.5% at $60.84 by 1:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday, extending a choppy stretch for the pet food maker’s stock. The slide stood out against an otherwise muted session, a reminder that thinner year-end liquidity can exaggerate moves in single names. The stock’s drop also comes hours before the Federal Reserve releases minutes from its December policy meeting at 2 p.m. ET — a closely watched readout that can shift rate expectations and, by extension, valuations for stocks priced on future growth. https://www.reuters.com/business/final-fed-minutes-2025-shed-light-policy-divisions-2025-12-30/ U.S. stocks

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 13:30 ET — Regular session XRP rose about 1% on Tuesday to $1.88, hovering near the day’s high after slipping to $1.84 earlier in the session. Bitcoin gained about 0.8% and ether added roughly 1.3%. The steadier tone in the XRP price today comes as markets brace for the Federal Reserve’s December meeting minutes, due at 2 p.m. ET, which could reset expectations for U.S. rates into 2026. “The market doesn’t have a lot to work with right here,” Joseph Trevisani, a senior analyst at FX Street in New York, said.
