Cisco stock today: CSCO slips into the close as year-end trading thins, dividend date nears

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 18:54 ET — After-hours Cisco Systems Inc shares slipped in the final trading session of 2025, closing down about 0.5% at $77.03 and holding steady in after-hours trading. The move came as Wall Street wrapped up the year with broad declines in thin holiday-week trade. The S&P 500 fell 0.74% and the Nasdaq dropped 0.76%, and U.S. markets are closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day, Reuters reported. “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.

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

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

SoFi stock falls after-hours as Treasury yields tick up into year-end — what to watch next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:57 ET — After-hours SoFi Technologies, Inc. shares fell in after-hours trading on Wednesday, extending a year-end pullback for rate-sensitive fintech stocks. The stock was down 1.4% at $26.18, after trading between $26.08 and $26.90 with about 33.8 million shares changing hands. The selloff came as U.S. borrowing costs moved higher, a key variable for consumer lenders. The 10-year Treasury yield rose 3.5 basis points — one basis point is 0.01 percentage point — to 4.163% after jobless-claims data showed an unexpected dip in applications for unemployment benefits, a Reuters report said.

Costco stock slips after-hours as insider sale filing hits tape; investors eye Jan. 7 sales update

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. U.S. markets are also closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day, pushing the next regular session to Friday. Reuters Wall Street ended the year’s last trading day lower, with the S&P 500 down 0.74% and the Nasdaq off 0.76%,

Stock market today: S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow slide to end 2025 as traders reset for 2026

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. Reuters The late slide matters because year-end flows can exaggerate price moves when liquidity dries up, and many big investors have already locked in gains. Traders will get a clearer read on risk appetite once normal volumes return. The Labor Department reported weekly

AppLovin stock falls nearly 3% into year-end as tech slide hits high-growth names

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:17 ET — After-hours AppLovin Corp shares fell 2.9% on Wednesday to $673.43, extending a late-December pullback on the final trading day of 2025. The stock traded between $698.79 and $672.29, with about 1.5 million shares changing hands, according to Investing.com data. Investing.com The slide came as Wall Street ended the year’s last session lower in holiday-thinned markets, with the S&P 500 down 0.74% and the Nasdaq off 0.76%.

UnitedHealth stock slips into year-end close — what traders are watching next

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

Coinbase stock drops after hours as bitcoin heads for first annual loss since 2022

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. Crypto sentiment turned cautious into year-end as bitcoin headed for its first annual loss since 2022, down more than 6% for 2025, Reuters reported. Bitcoin hit a record above $126,000 in October but lost momentum after U.S. tariff and export-control headlines sparked a sharp selloff and more than $19 billion of forced liquidations across leveraged positions,

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.

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

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.
