Lumentum stock slips in year-end trade; investors look to February results for next catalyst

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 19:26 ET — After-hours Lumentum Holdings Inc. shares fell 0.7% to close at $368.59 on Wednesday and edged up 0.06% in after-hours trading. Investing The late-year dip matters because Lumentum has become a high-beta way for investors to express a view on data-center networking demand, where expectations can swing quickly on budgets and supply. With thin liquidity typical into year-end, small order imbalances can drive outsized moves, especially in momentum-linked names. The next clear catalyst is timing: investors are shifting focus from tape-driven trading to the next round of quarterly results and early-January economic releases

Bank of America stock today: BAC slips after-hours as year-end selling and rate focus set up January catalysts

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 19:01 ET — After-hours Bank of America shares dipped about 0.5% in after-hours trading on Wednesday, last near $55, after fluctuating between roughly $54.94 and $55.41 during the session.

Walmart stock slips after hours as fresh insider filings and app outage hit the tape — what’s next for WMT

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 5:58 PM ET — After-hours Walmart Inc. shares were down about 0.5% in after-hours trading on Wednesday, extending a modest decline into the close of the year’s final session as investors weighed fresh insider disclosures and a recent digital outage. The timing matters because Walmart heads into 2026 after a strong 2025 run, leaving investors sensitive to any signals that management is trimming exposure or that key systems are vulnerable during peak shopping windows. The broader backdrop was also unsupportive. Wall Street’s major indexes ended 2025 lower in thin holiday trading, and “I do not

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:53 ET — After-hours Costco Wholesale Corp shares dipped in after-hours trading on Wednesday, tracking a softer year-end tape as a regulatory filing disclosed stock sales by a top executive. The shares were down about 0.4% at $862.34. SEC The timing matters because the final session of the year tends to be illiquid, amplifying small flows.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:32 ET — After-hours Wall Street’s major indexes ended lower on Wednesday in thin New Year’s Eve trading, but still booked double-digit gains for 2025. The S&P 500 fell 0.74%, the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.76% and the Dow slipped 0.63%. U.S. markets are closed on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:12 ET — After-hours UnitedHealth Group Inc shares were down $2.03, or 0.6%, at $330.11 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, after moving between $329.46 and $333.24 in the regular session. About 4.2 million shares changed hands. The pullback matters because investors are entering 2026 focused on two levers that can swing health-insurer earnings quickly: medical-cost trends and the pace of regulatory scrutiny tied to government-funded programs. UnitedHealth has been a bellwether for managed care. When sentiment shifts on Medicare and Medicaid oversight, the stock often trades less on day-to-day news and more on expectations for

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 5:04 PM ET — After-hours Coinbase Global shares slid 2.4% to $226.14 in after-hours trading on Wednesday. The move matters because Coinbase’s results are closely tied to crypto trading activity. When investors trade less, exchanges collect fewer transaction fees.
