Vera Therapeutics stock drops 3% today as biotech slips into year-end trading

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 2:26 PM ET — Regular session Vera Therapeutics, Inc. shares slid 3.4% to $50.45 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, giving back some recent gains as biotech stocks softened late in the year.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:15 ET — Regular session Allied Gold Corporation shares were up 71 cents, or about 3.1%, at $23.67 in morning trading on Tuesday.
