NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:38 ET — Regular session Johnson & Johnson shares were up about 0.3% at $208.28 in afternoon trading on Monday after the healthcare conglomerate said it had completed its $3.05 billion cash acquisition of Halda Therapeutics.

Bank of America stock drops as Treasury yields dip in thin year-end trade

Bank of America stock drops as Treasury yields dip in thin year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 11:58 ET — Regular session Bank of America Corp (BAC) shares fell about 1.3% on Monday to $55.43 in late morning trading, as investors trimmed exposure to big U.S. lenders in year-end trade. The move matters because bank profits are closely tied to interest-rate expectations. A flatter yield curve — when long-term rates fall relative to short-term rates — can squeeze the spread banks earn on lending. With U.S. markets closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day and few major corporate catalysts on the calendar, traders have leaned on rate moves and macro signals to

U.S. markets are shut on Thursday for New Year’s Day. Reuters For Costco, attention is shifting to its next scheduled updates — including a December sales report in early January — as traders weigh whether holiday demand held up while interest-rate expectations remain in flux.

Dentsply Sirona stock holds $11.5 in early premarket as dividend date passes and earnings come into view

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 04:40 ET — Premarket DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc shares were unchanged in early premarket indications on Monday, last at $11.52. The dental products maker is coming off an ex-dividend session, a calendar event that can move prices as the stock trades without the right to the next payout. Investing.com That matters in the final trading days of the year, when activity often thins and macro expectations can take a bigger role in price action.

Investing.com The pullback comes as investors navigate a holiday-thinned market where year-end portfolio adjustments can exaggerate moves, especially in high-momentum technology names. Reuters That matters for Palantir because the stock has been a popular proxy for the “AI” trade — shorthand for artificial intelligence software that learns from data to automate tasks and speed decisions — leaving it sensitive to swings in rate expectations and risk

Nvidia stock in focus after report details payouts in Groq licensing deal

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 02:23 ET — Market closed Nvidia shares ended Friday up $1.93, or about 1%, at $190.53.

Altria stock drops on ex-dividend move as Juul patent fight returns to view

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 23:38 ET — Market closed Altria Group shares ended Friday down 2.34% at $57.60, underperforming a flat-to-lower U.S. market as the stock traded ex-dividend, Investing.com data showed. Investing.com The move matters now because Altria is held largely for income, and dividend-related trading can distort the tape into year-end, when liquidity is thinner and positioning shifts quickly. It also matters because Altria’s payout is large enough to account for much of a one-day swing. The company’s $1.06 quarterly dividend implies an annual yield of about 7.4% at Friday’s close, keeping the stock in focus for yield
