SoFi Technologies (SOFI) Stock: Weekend Pause Near $27 as Wall Street Weighs 2026 Upside, Valuation Risk, and SoFiUSD Catalyst

SoFi Technologies (SOFI) Stock: Weekend Pause Near $27 as Wall Street Weighs 2026 Upside, Valuation Risk, and SoFiUSD Catalyst

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 11:53 a.m. ET — Market closed (Weekend). SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI) enters the final week of 2025 with investors balancing two competing narratives: a fintech name that’s rebuilt momentum on profitability and product expansion, and a stock that now has to “earn” its premium in a market where year-end positioning, light volumes, and rate expectations can amplify every headline. That backdrop matters because U.S. stocks just ended a quiet, post-Christmas session near record highs, with the major indexes barely moving as traders looked ahead to the final stretch of the year.

Basic Materials Stocks Today: Metals Rally, China Policy Signals, and Fed-Cut Bets Shape the Week Ahead

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 1:26 p.m. ET — Market closed (U.S. equities; weekend) Basic materials stocks are heading into the final trading stretch of 2025 with a powerful set of cross-currents: record-setting precious metals prices, fresh China policy headlines that matter for global demand (and supply risk), and a U.S. market backdrop defined by light year-end liquidity and an intense focus on the Federal Reserve’s 2026 rate path. Reuters+2Reuters+2 Because U.S. stock exchanges are closed on Sunday, investors are using the pause to reassess what moved the sector into the weekend—and what could move it sharply when the next

Utilities Stocks in Focus: Fed Minutes, Treasury Yields, Winter Storm Risk—and the AI Power Boom Ahead of Monday’s Open

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 1:34 p.m. ET — Market closed Utilities stocks are heading into the final full trading week of 2025 with two narratives pulling the sector in different directions: the traditional “bond proxy” role that can rise or fall with interest-rate expectations, and a fast-evolving growth story tied to electrification and surging power demand from AI-driven data centers. With U.S. markets closed for the weekend, investors are using Sunday to assess what mattered most in the last 48 hours—and what could move utilities when trading resumes Monday: December FOMC meeting minutes, year-end liquidity conditions, and the latest

Industrials Stocks Outlook: XLI Near Highs as Year-End Rotation, Fed Minutes, and Defense Headlines Set the Tone for Monday

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 1:22 p.m. ET — Market Closed Industrials stocks are heading into the final three trading sessions of 2025 with a rare mix of forces pulling at the sector at once: a year-end “rotation” narrative that’s shifting attention beyond mega-cap tech, a key week for rate expectations as investors brace for Federal Reserve minutes, and fresh geopolitical headlines that are directly relevant to aerospace-and-defense names. With U.S. equities closed Sunday, the big question for industrials investors isn’t what’s happening right now on the NYSE floor—it’s what could matter most when regular trading resumes Monday, Dec. 29:

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 1:10 p.m. ET — Market closed U.S. technology stocks head into the final three trading days of 2025 with a familiar tug-of-war: bullish momentum in the major indexes and AI-driven megacaps on one side, and renewed scrutiny of valuations and AI infrastructure spending on the other. With U.S. equity markets shut for the weekend, attention shifts to Sunday evening index futures and to the catalysts waiting in the holiday-thinned week ahead—most notably Federal Reserve meeting minutes and a handful of key economic releases.

Space and Defense Stocks: RTX, Lockheed, Boeing, Rocket Lab in Focus as Geopolitics and Year-End Trading Set Up Monday’s Session

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:59 p.m. ET — Market closed U.S. stock exchanges are shut for the weekend, leaving space and defense investors to parse a dense batch of late-week headlines and year-end macro signals before trading resumes Monday morning. The New York Stock Exchange’s core trading session runs 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET, meaning the next real “price discovery” window for aerospace and defense names arrives with Monday’s open—likely in thin, end-of-year liquidity where headlines can move stocks faster than fundamentals.

Quantum Computing Stocks: IonQ, Rigetti, D-Wave and QUBT Slide Into Year-End—What to Watch Before Monday’s Open

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:45 p.m. ET — Market closed (Weekend). Quantum computing stocks are heading into the final trading week of the year with a familiar mix of promise and turbulence—exactly the kind of setup that can amplify both opportunity and risk when liquidity is thin. In the most recent regular session (Friday), several of the best-known “pure-play” quantum names posted sharp declines even as the broader U.S. market largely drifted in quiet, post-holiday trade. IonQ (IONQ) finished at $46.00, down about 7.6%. Rigetti Computing (RGTI) closed at $22.38, down roughly 8.6%. D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) ended at $25.29,

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:29 p.m. ET — Market closed Wall Street is shut for the weekend, but AI stocks are not taking a break in the headlines. With the S&P 500 hovering near record territory after a quiet, low-volume post-Christmas session, investors are heading into the final trading days of 2025 weighing two powerful—and conflicting—narratives: the continued buildout of AI infrastructure that keeps lifting chip and cloud leaders, and a growing drumbeat of skepticism about valuation, deal structures, and how the AI boom is being financed.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:28 p.m. ET — U.S. stock market closed. XRP (Ripple’s associated token) is trading around $1.87 in weekend dealing, holding a tight band as traders weigh thin year-end liquidity, spot XRP ETF flow headlines, and a broader risk-asset backdrop shaped by a late-December equity market hovering near record territory.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:18 p.m. ET — U.S. stock market closed Bitcoin (BTC) traded around $87,856 on Sunday afternoon in New York, holding inside a tight band after a holiday week defined by thinning liquidity and renewed attention on U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETF flows. The world’s largest cryptocurrency posted an intraday high near $87,955 and a low around $87,418, underscoring how even modest order flow can move prices when many desks are lightly staffed late in the year.

Brian Moynihan’s 2026 Outlook: How Bank of America Sees AI Boosting Growth, While Consumer Confidence, Tariffs, and Copper Set the Tone for Markets

Brian Moynihan’s 2026 Outlook: How Bank of America Sees AI Boosting Growth, While Consumer Confidence, Tariffs, and Copper Set the Tone for Markets

Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan is ending 2025 with a message that’s equal parts upbeat and wary: consumer spending is still growing, the U.S. economy looks positioned for solid growth in 2026, and artificial intelligence is starting to show measurable economic lift. But the next year, in his view, will also be shaped by a familiar trio of destabilizers—policy uncertainty, geopolitical shocks, and the real-world infrastructure constraints behind the AI boom. In a recent interview on CBS’s Face the Nation (filmed Dec. 17, aired Dec. 21; transcript published Dec. 28), Moynihan said Bank of America’s transaction data shows spending
