Amazon stock ticks up as court blocks NLRB challenge; what AMZN investors watch next

Amazon stock ticks up as court blocks NLRB challenge; what AMZN investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 4:07 PM ET — After-hours Amazon.com, Inc. shares ended slightly higher on Tuesday as investors digested a U.S. appeals court ruling that kept a labor-board case on the agency track. The stock closed up 0.18% at $232.49. Investing.com The legal backdrop matters for Amazon because labor rules can influence how it runs its delivery network and what it pays to keep packages moving on time. For investors, the key question is whether regulatory decisions add friction to a model built on scale and tight cost control. The court decision also landed in holiday-thin trading, when

Apple stock slips after Fed minutes as year-end trading thins — what AAPL investors are watching

Apple stock slips after Fed minutes as year-end trading thins — what AAPL investors are watching

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 16:06 ET — After-hours Apple Inc (AAPL) shares were last down about 0.2% at $273.18 in Tuesday’s regular session, after trading between $272.28 and $274.00. The iPhone maker’s market value stood near $3.0 trillion and the stock traded at about 30 times trailing earnings. The move mattered because Apple is one of the biggest stocks in U.S. benchmarks, and small price changes can carry outsized influence when markets are lightly staffed and liquidity is thin. Investors used the lull to trim crowded positions in the biggest technology names after recent gains. “The valuation gap is

Coca-Cola stock slips as Fed minutes hit thin year-end trade; KO investors eye next catalyst

Coca-Cola stock slips as Fed minutes hit thin year-end trade; KO investors eye next catalyst

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 3:25 PM ET — Regular session Coca-Cola shares edged lower on Tuesday, holding near $70 as investors kept risk-taking limited in thin, year-end trading. The quiet tape matters because Coca-Cola is a classic defensive stock. When markets get choppy, investors often rotate into consumer staples — everyday products like food and beverages — for steadier demand and cash returns. It also matters now because interest-rate expectations are back in focus. Dividend-paying shares can lose relative appeal when bond yields rise, since investors can earn more in cash-like alternatives without taking equity risk. Coca-Cola was down

Seagate stock edges lower as year-end AI trade cools; STX turns to January earnings

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 15:01 ET — Regular session Seagate Technology Holdings plc shares were down 0.2% at $280.77 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, drifting after a year when the hard-drive maker became a marquee bet on AI-linked data-center spending. The stock has traded between $280.19 and $284.09 so far in the session, with about 694,000 shares changing hands. The soft patch matters because Seagate has been one of 2025’s standout infrastructure winners, leaving the stock more sensitive to shifts in sentiment around cloud budgets, storage pricing and the durability of the AI spending cycle. Investors are also closing

Adobe stock barely budges near $353 as Fed minutes loom — what ADBE investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 12:26 ET — Regular session Adobe shares were little changed on Tuesday, trading near $353 as investors braced for the Federal Reserve’s latest policy meeting minutes later in the day. The “minutes” — the detailed record of the Fed’s meeting — matter now because rate expectations can swing Treasury yields and, in turn, valuations for long-duration growth stocks such as software companies. Minutes from the Fed’s Dec. 9-10 meeting are due at 2 p.m. ET, after policymakers cut rates by a quarter point (0.25 percentage point) to a 3.50%-3.75% range, a decision that drew three

Why Triple Flag Precious Metals (TFPM) stock is up today: gold rebounds, Fed minutes ahead

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 12:14 ET — Regular session Triple Flag Precious Metals shares were up 1.9% at $33.76 by 11:58 a.m. ET on Tuesday, after trading between $33.16 and $34.57 earlier in the session. The move matters now because precious-metals equities have been prone to sharp swings in thin year-end trading, as investors rebalance after an outsized run in bullion. It also puts the spotlight back on companies whose cash generation is closely tied to gold and silver prices, as the market weighs whether this week’s volatility marks a pause or a change in tone.

Bitcoin price today slides toward $87K as ETF outflows weigh; Strategy, Coinbase stocks in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 04:13 ET — Premarket Bitcoin slipped early Tuesday, down 1.9% at $87,748 after trading between $86,780 and $89,410, with investors cautious in thin year-end conditions. The move matters because crypto has been trading more like other risk assets — sensitive to shifts in interest-rate expectations and liquidity. With U.S. markets heading into the final two sessions of the year, relatively small flows can push prices around. Reuters Attention has also turned back to the spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), vehicles that hold bitcoin and trade like shares. Those funds helped broaden access to bitcoin, but

Bitcoin to $40,000? Macro strategist Luke Gromen trims risk as gold regains ground

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 03:02 ET Global macro analyst Luke Gromen is trimming his bitcoin exposure and warned the cryptocurrency could slide toward $40,000 in 2026, even as he still expects debt-heavy governments to lean on inflation and weaker currencies. “A move toward the $40,000 range in 2026 is possible,” Gromen said on the RiskReversal podcast. Bitbo His caution is gaining attention as bitcoin trades in thin year-end conditions and has struggled to hold above $90,000.

AMAT stock ends higher in thin year-end trade as tech slips — what investors are watching next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:00 PM ET — Market closed Applied Materials shares ended Monday up 0.44% at $263.05, near the top of their 52-week range, after a session that saw the broader market retreat from recent highs. The stock traded between $260.00 and $264.65 on the day.

Booking Holdings (BKNG) stock barely moves — ETF outflows and New Year’s catalysts in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:49 ET — Market closed. Booking Holdings shares finished nearly flat on Monday, closing at $5,441.33 after trading in a roughly $58 range during the session. The muted close masked a familiar late-December dynamic: fund flows and thin liquidity can matter as much as company headlines, especially for high-priced, widely held stocks. That matters now because U.S. markets are heading into a holiday stretch, with New Year’s Day falling on Thursday and U.S. equity markets shut. New York Stock Exchange+1 Booking opened at $5,443.39, dipped as low as $5,403.94 and topped out at $5,462.00 before

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 20:32 ET — Market closed GE Aerospace shares fell $3.56, or 1.1%, to $311.58 on Monday. The stock traded ex-dividend on Monday, meaning buyers from that day forward are no longer entitled to the next quarterly payout. GE Aerospace’s board declared a $0.36-per-share dividend payable on Jan. 26, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close on Dec. 29. GE Aerospace The timing matters because thin year-end trading can magnify routine calendar effects like dividends, while investors look ahead to the company’s next results for fresh guidance.
