Amphenol Corporation (NYSE: APH) heads into the Friday, December 26, 2025 U.S. market open with investors focused on a familiar mix: AI/data-center demand, record operating performance, and an M&A pipeline that could reshape the company’s scale—alongside the very real questions that come with funding and integrating big deals.

Altria Group (MO) Stock: What to Know Before the U.S. Market Opens on Dec. 26, 2025

Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE: MO) heads into the Dec. 26, 2025 session with an unusually “headline-heavy” setup for a mature, high-dividend consumer staples stock: a fresh FDA authorization tied to its smoke-free strategy, a CEO succession plan now on a calendar, and—crucially for short-term price action—an ex-dividend date that falls on Dec. 26. Reuters With U.S. markets reopening after the Christmas Day closure, MO last traded at $58.98 (Dec. 24 close). That price level matters because it frames the stock’s income appeal, valuation math versus management’s latest earnings outlook, and the likely mechanical move that can happen when a stock

Zoetis (ZTS) Stock: What to Know Before the Market Opens on Dec. 26, 2025

U.S. stocks return from the Christmas holiday pause with Zoetis Inc. (NYSE: ZTS) back in focus—not because of an earnings report due today, but because December has brought a cluster of shareholder-return actions, product catalysts, and analyst resets that investors are still digesting heading into the next session. Keep one calendar detail in mind first: U.S. exchanges were closed on Thursday, Dec. 25 (Christmas Day), and Wednesday, Dec. 24 had an early close at 1:00 p.m. ET. That means many investors are coming into Friday’s session with fewer “fresh” price signals than usual, making recent headlines and forward expectations matter
