Honeywell (HON) Stock After Hours on Dec. 17, 2025: What Happened After the Bell and What to Watch Before Thursday’s Open

Honeywell International Inc. (NASDAQ: HON) ended Wednesday’s session with a rare advantage: it closed higher even as the broader market slid, then inched up again in after-hours trading—a setup that puts the focus squarely on Thursday morning’s macro catalyst rather than any fresh company-specific headline. With November’s U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) due at 8:30 a.m. ET on Thursday, Dec. 18, traders are effectively treating tonight as a “positioning window”—and Honeywell’s steadier, industrial profile is one reason it held up better than the tech-heavy tape on Wednesday.

Montreal Metro Grocery Store Robbed by Santa and Elf Crew as Quebec Food Insecurity Hits New Highs

MONTREAL — A surreal “holiday heist” in one of Montreal’s best-known neighbourhoods has sparked a very real debate about hunger, grocery inflation, and the limits of protest. According to Montreal police, multiple masked and costumed people walked out of a Metro grocery store on Laurier Street with food they hadn’t paid for — a theft the group behind it later framed as an act of “redistribution.” No one was hurt, no arrests had been announced as of Wednesday, and investigators say an inquiry is ongoing. tvanouvelles.ca+1 What made the incident travel fast across Quebec’s news cycle on December 17 wasn’t

Home Depot Stock After Hours (Dec. 17, 2025): HD Closes Higher on a Rough Market Day as CPI Looms Thursday Morning

Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE: HD) finished Wednesday’s session with a rare bright spot for investors in a market that broadly sold off. After the closing bell on December 17, 2025, the home-improvement giant remained in focus not because of an earnings report, but because of (1) renewed analyst commentary on the company’s path to a housing-led demand recovery and (2) a packed U.S. macro calendar set for Thursday morning, December 18, led by Consumer Price Index (CPI) data.
