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. All three benchmarks still ended 2025 up by double digits after a year dominated by investor demand

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

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

Home Depot stock today: HD slips into the year-end close as investors eye Fed signals and an insider sale filing

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.

Salesforce stock today: CRM slips in late-year session as software shares soften

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. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) was down about 1.1%, while the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), a proxy for the Nasdaq-100, fell about 0.7%. That matters now because cloud software valuations tend to swing with expectations for U.S. interest rates, and year-end trading can amplify

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

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

Sunrun stock drops today as Treasury yields tick higher in year-end trading

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:30 ET — Regular session Sunrun Inc. shares fell 3.8% to $18.37 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, extending a pullback in rate-sensitive solar names on the final session of the year. The Nasdaq-listed stock opened at $19.06 and traded between $18.34 and $19.20. The move matters now because residential solar installers are closely tied to interest rates: higher borrowing costs can raise customer monthly payments and pressure the economics of financing-heavy business models. U.S. Treasury yields edged higher after a surprise drop in jobless claims, with the 10-year yield up about 1 basis point —

The stock has traded between $81.25 and $89.36, with about 243,000 shares changing hands.

IBM stock slides nearly 2% in year-end session as profit-taking dents Dow

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 3:21 PM ET — Regular session Shares of International Business Machines Corp fell about 1.8% on Wednesday, trading around $296.64 in the afternoon after touching a session low of $295.92. The stock opened near $301.76 and was set for its second straight daily drop as the year winds down. The move matters because the final sessions of the year often bring thinner trading and sharper swings, especially in high-priced Dow components. With many investors sitting on sizable 2025 gains, even routine portfolio tweaks can hit bellwethers like IBM harder than usual. U.S. stocks drifted lower
