NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 20:10 ET — Market closed MARA Holdings, Inc (MARA) shares fell 3.6% in the last U.S. session of 2025, closing at $8.98 after trading between $8.96 and $9.40.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 06:40 PM ET — Market closed POET Technologies Inc. shares ended the year’s final session down 2.9% at $6.33, after a late-December pullback in tech and semiconductor-linked stocks.
