Coinbase stock slides to $226 as bitcoin ends 2025 in the red — what COIN investors are watching next

Coinbase stock slides to $226 as bitcoin ends 2025 in the red — what COIN investors are watching next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 10:37 ET — Market closed. Coinbase Global shares fell 2.4% in Wednesday’s year-end session, closing at $226.14, as investors marked down crypto-linked equities alongside a softer finish for bitcoin. Investing.com The move matters heading into 2026 because Coinbase’s business is tightly tied to trading activity in crypto markets, which tends to cool when prices and risk appetite weaken. With U.S. equity markets closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day, Wednesday’s close served as the last risk check before the first session of the new year.

Disc Medicine (IRON) stock today: year-end rally keeps January FDA decision in focus

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 10:07 ET — Market closed Disc Medicine, Inc. shares rose 3.3% to $79.41 in the last U.S. trading session of 2025, before Wall Street shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. Investors are focused on a U.S. Food and Drug Administration decision expected by the end of January on Disc’s lead drug candidate bitopertin for erythropoietic protoporphyria, or EPP, a rare genetic disease in which light exposure can trigger severe pain. Investing.com Australia The ruling is being watched beyond Disc because bitopertin is among the early drugs tapped for the FDA’s Commissioner’s National

Strategy (MSTR) stock drops into year-end as bitcoin’s annual loss looms; MSCI review next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 10:01 ET — Market closed Strategy Inc shares fell in the final trading session of 2025, tracking a softer bitcoin market, as U.S. stocks were shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. Strategy ended Wednesday down $3.63, or 2.3%, at $151.95. The move matters because investors often treat Strategy — chaired by longtime bitcoin advocate Michael Saylor — as a high-beta proxy for bitcoin. The company has built its identity around holding bitcoin on its balance sheet and raising capital to buy more. Bitcoin was on track to post its first annual loss

Apple stock slips into 2026 as year-end tech pullback bites; AAPL earnings next

Apple stock slips into 2026 as year-end tech pullback bites; AAPL earnings next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 09:31 ET — Market closed. Apple Inc (AAPL.O) shares slipped $1.22, or 0.45%, to close at $271.86 on Wednesday, the final trading day of 2025. U.S. markets are shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. Yahoo Finance+1 The move matters because it leaves Apple starting 2026 with investors rotating around megacap tech after a late-December pullback. “It’s just a healthy rebalancing of allocations more so than an emotionally driven sell-off,” said Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide. Reuters Trading stayed light into the holiday, a backdrop that can amplify moves when large

D-Wave Quantum stock today: QBTS on hold as New Year’s shutdown shifts focus to January catalysts

D-Wave Quantum stock today: QBTS on hold as New Year’s shutdown shifts focus to January catalysts

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 06:01 ET — Market closed D-Wave Quantum Inc shares were last at $26.15, down 0.4% from the prior close after a volatile final trading day of 2025, with U.S. stock markets shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. The pause matters because many quantum-computing names have traded like high-beta “theme” stocks, swinging with risk appetite and liquidity rather than day-to-day company news. Trading resumes on Friday, when investors typically get their first read on how much year-end positioning carried into January. Nasdaq Macro data are also back in focus after a late-December drop

Strategy (MSTR) stock ends 2025 lower as bitcoin slips — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 05:12 ET — Market closed. Strategy Inc shares last closed down 2.3% at $151.95, after touching $151.44 in the session, as bitcoin eased to about $87,744 early on Thursday. U.S. stock markets are shut for the New Year’s Day holiday. Nasdaq The move matters because Strategy trades as a high-beta proxy for bitcoin, meaning it often magnifies swings in the cryptocurrency. Crypto trades around the clock, even when U.S. equities are dark, leaving investors to price bitcoin risk into the next session. That link is under fresh scrutiny after bitcoin’s late-2025 slide, which has tightened

Apple stock (AAPL) heads into 2026 near $272 as New Year’s Day shuts markets — what to watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 05:03 ET — Market closed Apple Inc shares ended the last regular session down 0.45% at $271.86. U.S. stock markets are closed on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday and are set to reopen on Friday. The holiday pause gives investors a clean break between year-end positioning and the next run of catalysts. Apple remains a bellwether for consumer-tech demand and for the direction of Nasdaq heavyweights. The broader market also finished 2025 on a softer note, with the Nasdaq down 0.76% and technology and energy stocks among the biggest drags, Reuters reported. Thin

GE Aerospace stock slips into year-end close — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 20:50 ET — Market closed GE Aerospace shares closed down 1.2% on Wednesday at $308.03, trimming year-end gains after a strong run through 2025. The stock still ended the year up about 85%, based on its Dec. 31, 2024 close of $166.79. Chase ID Center The late-year dip matters because GE has been one of the market’s standout industrial winners, leaving less room for disappointment as investors reset portfolios for 2026. Traders are using the last prints of the year to gauge whether aerospace leaders can hold premium valuations into a January stretch packed with

10% yield play on Lululemon draws options interest as SM Energy tops investor search lists

10% yield play on Lululemon draws options interest as SM Energy tops investor search lists

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 19:49 ET A new options trade pitch targeting about a 10% annualized return is putting Lululemon Athletica back on investors’ screens as the stock trades far below its highs. The setup matters now because investors are trying to balance two competing forces: bargain hunting after sharp drawdowns and the appeal of cash-like returns that can be earned while waiting. It also shows how options — once mainly the domain of professionals — are increasingly being used as a “paid waiting” strategy, especially when shares are volatile and valuations are in focus.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 20:16 ET — Market closed Rigetti Computing shares closed down 1.2% on Wednesday at $22.15, ending the final session of 2025 lower as investors trimmed exposure to quantum-computing plays in thin year-end trade. StockAnalysis The move mattered more for what it signaled than the size of the drop: holiday-shortened weeks can exaggerate risk-off flows, and speculative technology names often feel it first when liquidity dries up. Reuters With U.S. markets closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day, positioning for the first full session of 2026 will be in focus as investors gauge whether demand returns

Shopify stock dips as year-end trading turns defensive; rates back in focus for SHOP

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 19:41 ET — After-hours Shopify Inc shares fell 1.7% to $160.97 on Wednesday, as investors trimmed some high-growth exposure on the final trading day of 2025. The stock traded between $160.75 and $163.83 and is about 12% below its 52-week high, according to the company’s investor relations quote. Shopify Investors The decline lands as markets head into a holiday break, with U.S. exchanges closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day and set to reopen on Friday.

Visa stock ends 2025 lower: why V slipped today and what investors are watching next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 18:32 ET — After-hours Visa Inc. shares fell on Wednesday, ending the year’s final session down 0.8% at $350.71. The stock was little changed in after-hours trading. The slide matters because Visa is a bellwether for digital payments, and its shares often move with expectations for consumer spending and travel. With 2025 closing out, investors used thin liquidity to square positions and rotate risk ahead of January data. U.S. stocks also ended lower in the final session of 2025, with the S&P 500 down 0.74%, the Nasdaq down 0.76% and the Dow down 0.63%, Reuters
