Home Depot Stock (HD) News: What Investors Need to Know Before Monday as Wall Street Targets a Strong Year-End Finish

Home Depot Stock (HD) News: What Investors Need to Know Before Monday as Wall Street Targets a Strong Year-End Finish

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 11:57 a.m. ET — Market closed Home Depot stock is heading into Monday’s session with the broader market still in “year-end mode”—thin volumes, index milestones in view, and investors laser-focused on the interest-rate path that ultimately drives housing turnover and big-ticket renovation demand. With U.S. markets closed for the weekend, the last actionable read for investors is Friday’s close: The Home Depot (NYSE: HD) finished at $349.78, up about 0.7%, after trading between roughly $346 and $350. That modest gain came in a session where Wall Street itself barely budged. In the light, post-holiday trade,

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 11:54 a.m. ET — Market closed (Weekend) Rigetti Computing, Inc. (Nasdaq: RGTI) heads into the final trading week of 2025 with investors digesting a sharp Friday reversal in one of the market’s most momentum-driven corners: “pure-play” quantum computing stocks. In the last regular session (Friday, Dec. 26), Rigetti shares finished around $22.38, down roughly 8.6%–8.7% on the day after swinging between about $22.33 and $24.51. MarketBeat The move matters because it underscores what traders have learned repeatedly in 2025: RGTI can post rapid gains on optimism and positioning, but it can also retrace quickly when

SoFi Technologies (SOFI) Stock: Weekend Pause Near $27 as Wall Street Weighs 2026 Upside, Valuation Risk, and SoFiUSD Catalyst

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 11:53 a.m. ET — Market closed (Weekend). SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI) enters the final week of 2025 with investors balancing two competing narratives: a fintech name that’s rebuilt momentum on profitability and product expansion, and a stock that now has to “earn” its premium in a market where year-end positioning, light volumes, and rate expectations can amplify every headline. That backdrop matters because U.S. stocks just ended a quiet, post-Christmas session near record highs, with the major indexes barely moving as traders looked ahead to the final stretch of the year.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 1:22 p.m. ET — Market closed (weekend). U.S. equity markets are shut for the weekend, but healthcare stocks are heading into Monday’s session with a fresh mix of catalysts—policy scrutiny around pharmacy practices, late-year sector rotation, and drug-development headlines—against a broader market backdrop that’s still flirting with major milestones. The S&P 500 has been within striking distance of 7,000, and strategists say the “path of least resistance” for stocks has remained higher absent a shock—an environment that can favor healthcare when investors look for diversification beyond the most crowded growth trades.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:19 p.m. ET — U.S. stock market closed (Weekend) Global stock markets are heading into the final full trading week of 2025 with a familiar mix of late-December ingredients: thin liquidity, year-end portfolio reshuffles, and a powerful “risk-on” narrative built around easing inflation pressures and the market’s expectation that the Federal Reserve will cut rates again in 2026. For U.S. investors, the cash equity market is closed today for the weekend, with attention shifting to when index futures reopen later Sunday and how global cross-asset signals—oil, the U.S. dollar, and record-setting precious metals—set up Monday’s

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:15 p.m. ET — Market Closed (Weekend) Wall Street is closed Sunday, giving investors a brief pause after a sleepy post-Christmas session that still left the major U.S. stock indexes parked near record territory — and on track to finish 2025 with strong double-digit gains. The next real test arrives Monday, when the final three trading days of 2025 begin. With liquidity often thin at year-end, headlines can move markets more than usual — and traders will be watching for signs that the “Santa Claus rally” continues, as well as fresh clues on the Federal

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 11:25 a.m. ET — Market closed Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) heads into the final trading days of 2025 with U.S. markets shut for the weekend and investors weighing two familiar forces for mega-cap payment stocks: a year-end, low-liquidity tape and a steady stream of macro and regulatory headlines that can quickly reset sentiment when trading resumes Monday.
