Robinhood stock slips into year-end after December trading snapshot; Barclays flags Q4 risk

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 16:50 ET — After-hours Robinhood Markets, Inc. (Nasdaq: HOOD) shares fell about 2% on Wednesday and were last down 2.1% at $113.10 in after-hours trading, after moving between $112.50 and $115.90 during the session. The move keeps attention on late-quarter trading activity at the retail brokerage as investors look for clues on how the fourth quarter finished across crypto, options and equities. That matters now because Robinhood’s transaction revenue — the money it generates from customer trades — can swing sharply with changes in trading volumes, especially in crypto and options.

Oracle stock slips into after-hours as tech fades on final day of 2025

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 4:48 ET — After-hours Oracle Corp shares were down 1.2% at $194.91 shortly after the close on Wednesday, as trading thinned into the New Year holiday. The move matters now because Oracle has become a bellwether for investor appetite for big-ticket cloud infrastructure spending tied to artificial intelligence. With the calendar turning, portfolio managers are rebalancing exposure and scrutinizing cash needs across the AI supply chain. For Oracle, the debate has centered on how quickly cloud demand converts into profit while the company ramps spending on data centers — large, long-lived projects that can weigh

AMD stock dips after-hours on year-end selling — what investors are watching next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 4:34 PM ET — After-hours Shares of Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD) slipped 0.5% in after-hours trading on Wednesday, and were last at $214.16. The modest move came as investors squared positions in high-profile technology names ahead of the New Year’s Day market holiday, a period when lighter trading can exaggerate price swings. For AMD holders, the timing matters because the stock sits at the center of the market’s artificial-intelligence trade — and investors are looking to 2026 for clearer signals on demand and margins as competition in AI chips tightens.

Apple stock slips after hours to close out 2025; what AAPL traders are watching next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 16:19 ET — After-hours Apple Inc (AAPL.O) shares edged lower after the bell on Wednesday, slipping about 0.4% to $271.82 in after-hours trading. The stock’s modest move underscored how little it took to nudge megacap technology names at year-end, when many portfolio managers are closing books and liquidity is thinner than normal. “It’s perfectly fine in any bull market to have moments of cost,” said Giuseppe Sette, co-founder and president of Reflexivity, pointing to profit-taking when liquidity is low. Reuters Apple’s after-hours dip followed a choppy stretch for the broader market into the holiday-shortened week,

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 16:18 ET — After-hours Microsoft Corp shares (MSFT.O) were down 0.8% at $483.54 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, extending a late-day fade in heavyweight technology stocks. The shares traded between $483.30 and $488.30 during the regular session. The stock’s decline came as Wall Street finished the final session of 2025 lower, with the S&P 500 down 0.73%, the Nasdaq down 0.76% and the Dow down 0.62% in thin year-end trading ahead of the New Year’s Day market holiday.

Micron stock drops 2% into year-end close as chip rally cools — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 16:19 ET — After-hours Micron Technology Inc (MU) shares slid 2.3% on Wednesday, ending the year’s final regular session at $285.81. The stock traded between $284.19 and $293.91 on the day. The late-day pullback matters because Micron has been a bellwether for the memory-chip boom tied to artificial-intelligence servers, and year-end positioning can amplify moves when liquidity is thin. A softer tone in semiconductors can spill over quickly as investors rebalance risk into 2026. U.S. stocks slipped in holiday-thin trade, and markets are set to shut on Thursday for New Year’s Day. “It’s perfectly fine

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:50 ET — Regular session Home Depot shares were down about 0.3% at $345.33 in late-afternoon New York trading on Wednesday, underperforming earlier highs as the broader market eased into the final session of 2025. The stock traded between $344.87 and $346.69; rival Lowe’s was down about 0.5% and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF fell about 0.5%. The muted move still matters for a rate-sensitive corner of retail. Home-improvement spending tends to follow housing turnover and financing conditions, and investors are positioning for how quickly borrowing costs ease in early 2026. Fresh U.S. data on

Adobe stock slips in year-end trading as tech eases; ADBE investors look to 2026 catalysts

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:42 ET — Regular session Adobe Inc shares were down 0.6% on Wednesday as U.S. tech stocks drifted lower in thin, year-end trading. The stock fell $2.08 to $350.43 in afternoon dealings. The timing matters: the final session of the year is often driven by position-squaring and low liquidity, which can magnify small moves. Wall Street’s major indexes were edging lower, even as they remained set for double-digit annual gains, Reuters reported.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:39 ET — Regular session Salesforce Inc shares edged lower on Wednesday, down about 0.3% at $265.06 in late-afternoon trading. The stock traded between $264.44 and $266.12, with roughly 1.7 million shares changing hands. The move tracked a softer tape for software names into the final session of 2025.

Verizon stock today: VZ edges higher as traders eye Jan. 30 earnings and dividend

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:31 ET — Regular session Verizon Communications Inc shares rose 0.5% to $40.90 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, after moving between $40.62 and $40.96 earlier in the session. About 9.6 million shares had changed hands. The modest move still drew attention because it came during thin, year-end trading, when portfolio rebalancing can push steady, high-dividend names away from the market’s broader drift. It also puts focus on the next scheduled catalyst: Verizon said it will report fourth-quarter 2025 earnings on Friday, Jan. 30, 2026, and host a webcast beginning at 8:00 a.m. ET. The company

Why FICO Stock Is Sliding Today: Fair Isaac Drops in Thin Year-End Trading

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:39 ET — Regular session. Shares of Fair Isaac Corp (FICO) fell 3.8% to $1,680.01 on Wednesday afternoon, extending a year-end slide for the credit-scoring and analytics firm. The drop matters now because trading has thinned into the final session of the year, when portfolio rebalancing and tax-driven selling can move single stocks quickly. Liquidity — the ability to buy and sell without pushing prices sharply — is typically at its weakest around holiday weeks. Broader U.S. stocks were slightly lower in choppy trade, with technology shares slipping, as investors headed into a New Year’s
