Healthcare stocks today: FDA decisions jolt biotechs as Wall Street shuts for New Year

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 13:41 ET — Market closed Vanda Pharmaceuticals’ FDA win in motion sickness set the tone for outsized, stock-specific swings in healthcare shares as Wall Street paused for the New Year’s Day holiday.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 10:45 ET — Market closed.
