Broadcom stock slips into after-hours as year-end tech pullback bites

Broadcom stock slips into after-hours as year-end tech pullback bites

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 4:05 ET — After-hours Broadcom Inc. (AVGO) shares fell on Monday as profit-taking hit chip stocks in the final week of the year, ending regular trading down 0.8% at $349.39. Yahoo Finance The stock traded between $344.69 and $350.33 during the session, hovering near the psychologically important $350 level heading into after-hours. Yahoo Finance The dip matters now because Broadcom remains a heavily owned AI-infrastructure name, and price swings tend to amplify into year-end when liquidity is thinner and portfolio managers rebalance. Reuters It also comes as the tech trade shows signs of fatigue after

SMCI stock slips near $30 as Nvidia cools in year-end trade; what to watch

SMCI stock slips near $30 as Nvidia cools in year-end trade; what to watch

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:46 ET — Regular session Super Micro Computer shares fell about 1.1% to $30.29 in late afternoon trading on Monday, after swinging between $29.82 and $31.12 earlier in the session. The move matters now because year-end positioning is thinning liquidity and magnifying day-to-day swings in high-volatility tech names. Supermicro is treated as a proxy for spending on data-center builds, particularly systems that bundle advanced graphics chips into full server racks. With only a few sessions left in 2025, risk appetite has started to look more selective across AI suppliers. U.S. stocks dipped in light, holiday-shortened

DRDGOLD stock sinks as gold pulls back — what moved DRD today

DRDGOLD stock sinks as gold pulls back — what moved DRD today

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:07 ET — Regular session U.S.-listed shares of South Africa’s DRDGOLD Limited were down about 8.3% at $30.55 in afternoon trading on Monday, as gold-linked equities sold off. The stock opened at $31.37 and has traded between $30.25 and $33.15 so far in the session. The slide mattered because gold miners often move more than the underlying metal. Their costs tend to be slow to change, so swings in the gold price can quickly reshape profit expectations. That sensitivity comes into focus near year-end, when funds and commodity desks rebalance and lock in gains. Thin

MercadoLibre stock today: MELI edges higher as year-end trading stays thin

MercadoLibre stock today: MELI edges higher as year-end trading stays thin

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:28 ET — Regular session. MercadoLibre, Inc. shares were up 0.4% at $2,014.52 on Monday afternoon, after trading as high as $2,037.13 and as low as $1,986.98. The Latin American e-commerce and payments bellwether is heading into the final three sessions of 2025, a stretch when lighter liquidity can make small moves look bigger than they are. That timing matters because investors often use liquid growth stocks to fine-tune exposure before year-end rebalancing, even when there is little fresh company-specific news. U.S. Treasury yields — the interest rates paid on government debt — eased and

Silver whiplash slams PSLV as Sprott trust drops with bullion

Silver whiplash slams PSLV as Sprott trust drops with bullion

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:05 ET — Regular session Units of Sprott Physical Silver Trust fell 7.6% to $24.05 in afternoon trading on Monday, tracking a sharp pullback in silver. The units swung between $25.32 and $23.41, with volume above 26 million. The move matters because silver’s outsized 2025 rally has turned bullion-linked funds into a high-beta macro trade heading into year-end. A fast reversal can prompt quick de-risking across products tied to the metal. An increase in margin requirements on U.S. metals futures added to the pressure. Margins are the cash deposits needed to hold leveraged futures positions,

Verizon stock today edges up as VZ sets Jan. 30 earnings date, telecoms hold firmer than tech

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:32 ET — Regular session Verizon Communications Inc shares (VZ) edged up 0.1% to $40.53 in afternoon trading on Monday after the telecom operator said it will report fourth-quarter 2025 earnings on Jan. 30. The stock traded between $40.39 and $40.70 on the session; Verizon said it will post earnings materials at 6:30 a.m. ET ahead of an 8 a.m. webcast.

Wells Fargo stock dips in late trade as yields ease; Fed liquidity, earnings date in focus

Wells Fargo stock dips in late trade as yields ease; Fed liquidity, earnings date in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:25 ET — Regular session Wells Fargo & Company shares were down 0.6% at $94.66 on Monday afternoon, giving back ground after an early rise and underperforming their intraday high. The move matters because banks remain tightly linked to the interest-rate outlook heading into year-end. Even modest swings in yields can change expectations for what lenders earn on loans versus what they pay for deposits. Trading conditions are also thin in the final week of the year, which can exaggerate sector moves. That has left investors watching rates and liquidity gauges as closely as company

DoorDash stock slips today as tech rally cools; what investors watch next for DASH

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:28 ET — Regular session DoorDash, Inc. shares fell about 1.3% to $230.91 in afternoon trading on Monday after touching a session low of $230.14. At 3:28 p.m. ET, the stock was down $3.04 from its previous close, after earlier hitting $234.98. The pullback lands in the final week of the year, when thin liquidity can amplify moves and portfolio managers adjust exposure ahead of year-end. DoorDash is closely watched as a read-through on consumer spending and app-based delivery demand, an area where investors have been quick to reward steady volume and punish heavier spending.

GE Aerospace stock slips on ex-dividend day as Wall Street cools into year-end

The stock last closed at $315.14 and has traded between $311.61 and $315.97.

Merck (MRK) stock holds steady as Wall Street cools into year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 3:12 PM ET — Regular session Merck & Co shares were little changed on Monday afternoon, up 0.01% at $106.79. The muted move mattered because investors have been shifting toward steadier corners of the market as 2025 winds down, a period that can amplify small price swings on lighter volumes. Health-care stocks largely held their ground, with the Health Care Select Sector SPDR ETF down 0.05%, as traders stayed selective in year-end positioning. Wall Street’s main indexes slipped as heavyweight technology names retreated from last week’s gains. “This is (not) the beginning of the end

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:04 ET — Regular session UiPath shares were little changed at $16.84 in afternoon trading on Monday, after earlier moves left the stock ranging from $16.37 to $17.35. The muted finish comes at an awkward moment for the automation-software maker: it is slated to join the S&P MidCap 400 on Jan. 2, a membership change that can trigger mechanical buying by passive funds that track the index. News Release Archive That setup matters now because holiday trading tends to be thin, and flows tied to index rebalancing can have an outsized impact on smaller, less-liquid

The stock is still about 27% below a mid-January peak near $99.58, according to pricing data.
