Microsoft stock edges lower after the bell as year-end trade cools tech; MSFT investors eye Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:35 ET — After-hours Microsoft Corp shares ended Monday down about 0.1% at $487.11, after trading between $484.18 and $488.35 in the regular session. The stock was down about 0.1% in after-hours trading, the period after the 4 p.m. ET market close.

Microsoft stock barely budges as year-end trading turns to Fed minutes and January earnings

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 18:37 ET — Market closed Microsoft Corp shares were little changed at the end of the holiday-shortened week, with U.S. markets closed on Sunday and investors turning attention to the final three trading days of 2025. The software maker’s stock last traded at $487.71, down 0.04% from the prior close, giving it a market value of about $3.85 trillion.
