Verizon stock today: VZ edges up as DOJ DEI probe headline hangs over telecom ahead of Jan. 30 earnings

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 15:17 ET — Regular session Verizon Communications Inc shares were up 0.5% at $40.69 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, bucking a mostly flat U.S. market as investors digested new regulatory scrutiny and looked ahead to the carrier’s next earnings update. Reuters The latest headline matters because legal and compliance risk can move quickly for large government contractors, and telecoms are already grappling with intense competition and heavy capital spending.

Applied Materials stock slips as China’s 50% domestic chip-tool rule puts AMAT in the spotlight

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 15:20 ET — Regular session Applied Materials, Inc. (AMAT.O) shares slipped on Tuesday, with investors weighing fresh signs of tougher competition in China for semiconductor equipment makers.

Qualcomm stock edges up as Fed minutes hit; QCOM eyes Feb. 4 earnings call

Qualcomm stock edges up as Fed minutes hit; QCOM eyes Feb. 4 earnings call

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 15:14 ET — Regular session Qualcomm (QCOM.O) shares were up about 0.2% at $173.75 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, hovering near Monday’s close as markets digested new details on the U.S. interest-rate outlook. That matters for Qualcomm and other semiconductor names because investors often value them like “growth” stocks, whose prices can swing when bond yields move. In year-end trading, the rate narrative can outweigh company-specific headlines. Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Dec. 9-10 meeting — the detailed account of policymakers’ debate — showed officials split even after approving a quarter-point, or 0.25 percentage point,

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 13:50 ET — Regular session Pfizer Inc (NYSE:PFE) shares were up about 0.1% at $25.03 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, after moving between $24.92 and $25.10.

Milan, February 7, 2026, 10:54 (CET) — Market closed.
