Pfizer stock flat after hours as TD Cowen sticks with Hold; Feb. 3 results ahead

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 19:40 ET — After-hours Pfizer Inc. shares were little changed in late after-hours trading on Tuesday, down about 0.02% at $24.99, after moving between $24.92 and $25.10 in the regular session.

Eli Lilly stock ticks up after hours as China price cuts put Mounjaro, Wegovy in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 5:08 PM ET — After-hours Eli Lilly shares were up 0.1% in after-hours trading on Tuesday at $1,079.75 after a Reuters report said it and Novo Nordisk are lowering prices of their top-selling obesity drugs in China.
