Exxon Mobil (XOM) Stock: What to Know Before the Market Opens on Dec. 26, 2025

Exxon Mobil (XOM) Stock: What to Know Before the Market Opens on Dec. 26, 2025

Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE: XOM) heads into Friday’s (Dec. 26, 2025) market open with its stock trading near recent highs—but with several fast-moving headlines in the background, from Russia-related legacy assets to a potentially major Iraq deal, plus a fresh long-term growth plan that’s reshaping the company’s investment narrative. Because U.S. markets were closed on Christmas Day, the most recent trading session for Exxon was the holiday-shortened Dec. 24 session. XOM closed at $119.22 on Dec. 24 with about 6.14 million shares traded—lighter-than-normal activity that can matter when liquidity returns post-holiday.

Eli Lilly (LLY) Stock: Key News, Catalysts, Forecasts and Risks to Watch Before the Dec. 26, 2025 Market Open

Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) heads into the Friday, Dec. 26, 2025 U.S. market open with investors balancing two powerful forces: policy-driven price pressure on GLP‑1 drugs and pipeline-driven growth potential that keeps Lilly at the center of the obesity and diabetes mega-trend. Because Christmas Day (Dec. 25) is a market holiday and Christmas Eve (Dec. 24) was an early close, the next “real” price discovery for LLY happens when trading resumes Friday morning—often with thinner holiday-week liquidity that can exaggerate moves.

Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B, BRK.A) Stock: What to Know Before the Market Opens on Dec. 26, 2025

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. stock heads into Friday’s post-Christmas session with a rare combination of “big picture” catalysts: a historic CEO handoff scheduled for January 1, 2026, a record cash-and-Treasury-bills war chest, and a portfolio that continues to shift away from Apple even as Berkshire initiates a new stake in Alphabet. With U.S. equities returning to a full trading day on Dec. 26 after the holiday closure, investors watching BRK.B and BRK.A are likely to focus less on short-term technical signals and more on what Berkshire’s balance sheet and leadership reshuffle say about 2026.

Heading into the Dec. 26 session, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) sits at the center of two competing narratives investors have been debating into year-end: (1) undeniable AI-and-cloud demand and (2) the cost and pace of monetizing it.

After a holiday-shortened Christmas Eve session pushed major indexes to fresh record closes, investors are using today’s quieter tape to do what they always do at year-end: sort the winners from the next wave, price in 2026 growth assumptions, and stress-test the “AI trade” against interest rates, regulation, and geopolitics. Reuters What’s striking about the headlines landing on 25.12.2025 is how clearly they map the tech sector’s current reality: AI infrastructure is still the gravitational center, but leadership is
