NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:58 ET Nike shares rose 4% in the final session of 2025 after CEO Elliott Hill disclosed he bought about $1 million worth of stock, offering investors a fresh signal of confidence as the sportswear maker heads into 2026 under scrutiny for a turnaround.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 18:23 ET — Market closed Visa Inc shares ended the final trading day of 2025 down 0.8% at $350.71, as investors digested a new filing on the payments network’s restricted Class B share conversion rates.
