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

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,

UnitedHealth stock slips into year-end close — what traders are watching next

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

Adobe stock slips in year-end trading as tech eases; ADBE investors look to 2026 catalysts

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:42 ET — Regular session Adobe Inc shares were down 0.6% on Wednesday as U.S. tech stocks drifted lower in thin, year-end trading. 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. Wall Street’s major indexes were edging lower, even as they remained set for double-digit annual gains, Reuters reported. Reuters For Adobe, the tape action underscores how closely the stock is trading with broader software sentiment going into 2026. A software-focused ETF

GlobalFoundries (GFS) stock slides after Wedbush downgrade warns chip downturn will last longer

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:25 ET — Regular session Shares of GlobalFoundries Inc (GFS) fell 2.6% to $35.17 by 2:25 p.m. ET on Wednesday after Wedbush downgraded the contract chipmaker, pressuring the stock on the year’s final trading day.

For GlobalFoundries, the timing matters because its business depends on keeping fabs busy; when customers cut orders, lower utilization means more fixed costs

Bitcoin price today slips under $88,000 as year-end trade thins; Coinbase, miners mixed

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:40 ET — Regular session Bitcoin slipped below $88,000 on Wednesday as trading remained thin into the end of the year and investors weighed the outlook for U.S. interest rates. The world’s largest cryptocurrency was last down 0.7% at $87,753. Ether, the second-largest token, was little changed, up 0.1% at $2,974.81.

Trump Media and Technology Group said it will distribute a new digital token to shareholders, a sign of

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 12:52 ET — Regular session Shares of Gulfport Energy Corp fell 2.8% to $207.18 in midday NYSE trade on Wednesday, tracking a broader pullback in U.S. natural-gas-linked assets. The U.S. Natural Gas Fund, an ETF tied to natural gas futures, was down 5.1%, while gas-focused peers EQT, Antero Resources and Range Resources fell between 2.5% and 2.8%.

The company’s core assets include Appalachia acreage in Ohio’s Utica and Marcellus and

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 12:43 ET — Regular session. Intel (INTC) shares were up about 0.2% at $37.39 in midday trade on Wednesday, after a regulatory filing confirmed Nvidia had completed a $5 billion purchase of Intel stock. The shares have traded between $37.12 and $38.01 so far in the session. The disclosure matters because Intel is still in a capital-heavy rebuild, trying to fund manufacturing expansion while defending its core PC and server chip franchises against increasingly tough competition.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 12:20 ET — Regular session Nike (NKE) shares rose 4.1% to $63.72 in midday trading on Wednesday after a regulatory filing showed CEO Elliott Hill bought about $1 million of stock.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 12:19 ET — Regular session. Miami International Holdings, Inc. shares were down 2.2% on Wednesday midday, a softer tape in thin, year-end trading for the exchange operator.

Ambev stock today: ABEV dips before the bell after Tuesday’s jump — here’s what’s driving it

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 08:41 ET — Premarket Ambev S.A. shares were down 0.8% at $2.461 in premarket trading, after ending Tuesday up 2.5% at $2.48. The ADR has traded between $2.28 and $2.60 in recent sessions, reflecting choppy year-end positioning. StockAnalysis The timing matters because late-December trading can amplify small flows, especially in high-yield stocks where investors are repositioning around payouts. For Ambev, the week’s dividend schedule has been the main company-specific marker on screens. Ambev told investors in a U.S. securities filing that its board approved dividends of 0.4612 reais per share, “to be made on December

Robinhood stock slips in premarket after December trading snapshot; Barclays flags crypto softness

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 06:14 ET — Premarket Shares of Robinhood Markets (HOOD.O) were down about 0.6% in premarket trading on Wednesday after the online broker released a late-month snapshot of December trading activity. The early read matters because Robinhood’s results are heavily influenced by how much customers trade, especially in options and cryptocurrency, which can swing quickly into quarter-end. Investors are also watching whether newer lines such as prediction markets can cushion any slowdown in crypto-related activity heading into the final week of the year. Robinhood said equity notional trading volumes — the total dollar value of stock

XRP price today: Token holds near $1.87 as U.S. XRP ETF inflows extend streak into year-end

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 02:55 ET — Market closed. XRP held near $1.87 early on Wednesday, up about 0.5% from its previous close. Bitcoin rose about 1.3% and ether gained roughly 0.8%, according to market data. The move matters because XRP has struggled to break out of a narrow range even as fresh vehicles have broadened access for traditional investors. ETFs, or exchange-traded funds, trade like stocks and can offer exposure to an asset without requiring investors to hold the underlying token directly. Traders have been leaning on flow data for clues into year-end, when liquidity is thin and
