Linde stock ends 2025 lower as Wall Street shuts for New Year’s Day — what to watch next for LIN

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 3:59 PM ET — Market closed Linde plc shares ended the year’s final trading day down 0.46% at $426.39, with U.S. markets closed on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. Linde+1 The industrial-gases group, a steady large-cap in the materials space, often trades as a read-through on factory demand and large project activity. In holiday-thin conditions, even modest risk-off moves can show up quickly in defensives like LIN. That matters heading into the first full week of 2026.

Carvana stock dips to $422 as 2025 ends lower — what CVNA investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:58 ET — Market closed Carvana Co (CVNA) shares closed down 1.7% at $422.02 on Wednesday, the last U.S. trading session of 2025, as investors wrapped up a holiday-shortened week before Wall Street’s New Year’s Day closure. The stock traded between $421.95 and $430.30.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:42 ET — Market closed. Super Micro Computer shares were last down about 1.3% at $29.27 in extended trade, after ending Dec. 31 at $29.67.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:06 ET — Market closed AST SpaceMobile Inc shares ended the year lower, closing down 2.8% at $72.63 on Dec. 31, after swinging between $71.61 and $75.73 in the session.
