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.

Bank of America stock today: BAC slips after-hours as year-end selling and rate focus set up January catalysts

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 19:01 ET — After-hours Bank of America shares dipped about 0.5% in after-hours trading on Wednesday, last near $55, after fluctuating between roughly $54.94 and $55.41 during the session. The year-end move matters because markets shut for New Year’s Day, giving investors a pause to reset expectations for rates and bank earnings before trading resumes in 2026. With the next round of big-bank results approaching, even small shifts in Treasury yields can move bank stocks because they influence lending margins and funding costs. In regular trading, Bank of America fell 0.5% to $55.00, alongside declines

Salesforce stock slips after-hours to end 2025 as focus turns to Agentforce AI and Feb. 25 earnings

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 19:03 ET — After-hours Salesforce, Inc. shares ended down 0.4% on Wednesday and hovered near $264.91 in after-hours trading, as the cloud software maker closed out 2025’s final session on a subdued note. The stock traded between $264.44 and $266.12 during the session. The late drift underscored how thin year-end liquidity can magnify moves in large-cap technology names, even without fresh company news. For Salesforce, the timing matters because investors are resetting exposure ahead of 2026, when spending on enterprise software and new AI features is expected to be under sharper scrutiny.

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

SoFi stock falls after-hours as Treasury yields tick up into year-end — what to watch next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:57 ET — After-hours SoFi Technologies, Inc. shares fell in after-hours trading on Wednesday, extending a year-end pullback for rate-sensitive fintech stocks. The stock was down 1.4% at $26.18, after trading between $26.08 and $26.90 with about 33.8 million shares changing hands.

The 10-year Treasury yield rose 3.5 basis points — one basis point is 0.01 percentage point — to 4.163% after jobless-claims data showed an unexpected dip in applications for unemployment benefits, a Reuters report said.

XRP price stock today: Ripple token slips below $1.85 as year-end risk-off grips crypto

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:32 ET — After-hours XRP fell about 1.6% to $1.84 on Wednesday, extending a late-year drift as traders closed out positions ahead of the New Year holiday. Investing.com data showed XRP last at $1.841, after a previous close of $1.871, with the token ranging between $1.8117 and $1.8830 on the day. Investing.com The move matters because crypto has traded like a macro-sensitive risk asset into year-end, with investors reacting to the same growth, rates and policy headlines that drive equities. That has left fewer token-specific catalysts able to overpower the broader tape. Bitcoin was down

Bitcoin price today: BTC slips toward $87,700 as year-end risk mood drags crypto stocks

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:34 ET — After-hours Bitcoin was down 0.7% at $87,696 on Wednesday, extending a late-year drift that has left the token on track for its first annual loss since 2022. Investing The year-end slide matters because the market has been treating bitcoin more like a “risk asset” — the kind that often falls when investors cut exposure to stocks and other higher-risk trades. Analysts say that link to equities could tighten further in 2026 as traders focus on interest-rate expectations and valuations in AI-related shares.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:33 ET — After-hours The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 303.77 points, or 0.63%, to 48,063.29 on Wednesday, extending Wall Street’s losing streak into the final trading day of 2025. The S&P 500 dropped 0.7% and the Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.8%. AP News The pullback mattered because it came as investors closed the books on a year of strong gains and positioned for fresh economic data that could reset expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts.

JPMorgan stock slips on final trading day of 2025 as banks lag; what to watch next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:35 ET — After-hours JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM) shares were down about 0.3% at $322.22 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, after a softer finish in the regular session. The stock traded between $322.13 and $324.82 on the day. The year-end dip mattered less for the biggest U.S. bank than what comes next: interest-rate expectations and the opening stretch of the 2026 economic calendar. Banks tend to track the bond market because shifts in rates can change loan margins and funding costs. JPMorgan is scheduled to release fourth-quarter and full-year results on Tuesday, Jan. 13,

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:12 ET — After-hours UnitedHealth Group Inc shares were down $2.03, or 0.6%, at $330.11 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, after moving between $329.46 and $333.24 in the regular session. About 4.2 million shares changed hands. The pullback matters because investors are entering 2026 focused on two levers that can swing health-insurer earnings quickly: medical-cost trends and the pace of regulatory scrutiny tied to government-funded programs. UnitedHealth has been a bellwether for managed care. When sentiment shifts on Medicare and Medicaid oversight, the stock often trades less on day-to-day news and more on expectations for

The stock fell $2.08 to $350.43 in afternoon dealings. The timing matters: the final session of the year is often driven by position-squaring and low liquidity, which can magnify small moves.
