NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 4:06 p.m. ET — Market Closed (Weekend) ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) heads into the final full week of 2025 with investors balancing two powerful forces: a broad U.S. equity market hovering near record levels, and an oil tape that has turned increasingly cautious about 2026 supply. COP shares last traded at about $91.54 at Friday’s close, with modest after-hours activity recorded late Friday evening. Public With U.S. markets shut for the weekend, the next meaningful catalyst for ConocoPhillips stock is likely to come from crude’s direction as futures reopen and repositioning picks up ahead of Monday’s

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 4:02 p.m. ET — Market closed Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIVN) enters the final trading stretch of 2025 with investors debating a familiar question: is the recent run the start of a durable re-rating tied to Rivian’s software-and-autonomy roadmap—or a momentum burst vulnerable to profit-taking and year-end volatility? With U.S. stock markets closed Sunday, Rivian shares last finished Friday at $20.90, down about 1.1% on the day, after-hours slightly lower at $20.87.

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.

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

(NASDAQ: PONY) heads into the final trading week of 2025 with investors debating a familiar question in the robotaxi universe: is the latest pullback a routine volatility shakeout—or a warning flare for a still-early public company priced on big future expectations?
