FTAI Aviation stock flirts with $200 after jet-engine-to-data-center power pivot

FTAI Aviation stock flirts with $200 after jet-engine-to-data-center power pivot

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 04:53 ET — Premarket FTAI Aviation Ltd. shares hovered near $200 in early premarket trading on Wednesday, up about 0.1% after surging 14.4% in the prior session. The stock closed Tuesday at $197.68 after touching $199.88 intraday. StockAnalysis The rally matters because it adds a new growth narrative to a company best known for aircraft engines. Investors have chased “power-adjacent” names as artificial intelligence drives a wave of data-center construction and electricity demand. The pitch from FTAI is speed. The company is offering a way to repurpose existing aviation hardware into power generation, rather than

AFJK jolts higher in premarket as Aimei Health extends a wild run into year-end

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 05:02 ET — Premarket Aimei Health Technology Co., Ltd shares rose 38% to $114 in premarket trading on Wednesday, extending Tuesday’s outsized move in the Nasdaq-listed blank-check company. The stock ended the prior session up 89% at $82.58 after trading in a wide range. StockAnalysis The spike matters because Aimei’s share count shrank sharply after recent redemptions, a setup that can amplify price swings when even modest buying hits a thin market. In a Dec. 2 filing, the company said shareholders redeemed 3,942,661 public shares for about $44.8 million, and that it would have about

Profusa stock whipsaws: PFSA dips premarket after 78% surge on debt restructuring

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 04:32 ET — Premarket Profusa Inc shares were down about 12% at 10.7 cents in premarket trading on Wednesday, after soaring 78% to 12.2 cents in the prior session as investors reacted to the company’s debt restructuring. Tuesday’s session saw the stock trade between 10.8 cents and 17 cents, with volume jumping to about 822 million shares. StockAnalysis The moves matter because Profusa is a thinly traded, penny-stock name where small shifts in financing terms can dominate price action. For existing shareholders, the central question is dilution — how many new shares might be created

Urgent.ly stock jumps again in premarket as ULY extends a volatile run

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 04:26 ET — Premarket Shares of Urgent.ly Inc surged 26.8% to $3.50 in premarket trading on Wednesday, after the roadside-assistance software provider ended Tuesday up 52.5% at $2.76. StockAnalysis The outsized move is drawing attention to Urgent.ly’s thin trading profile and a recent corporate update that reset the clock on a key shareholder vote. That matters now because microcap stocks can gap sharply when order flow concentrates ahead of scheduled events. Finviz+1 Urgent.ly said in a Form 8-K — a filing used to disclose major corporate events — that it convened and then adjourned its

Vanda Pharma stock jumps premarket after FDA approves Nereus, first new motion-sickness vomiting drug in decades

Vanda Pharma stock jumps premarket after FDA approves Nereus, first new motion-sickness vomiting drug in decades

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 04:27 ET — Premarket Vanda Pharmaceuticals’ shares surged about 18% in premarket trading on Wednesday after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved its motion-sickness vomiting drug, Nereus (tradipitant). StockAnalysis+1 The approval matters now because Vanda is moving from a long-running regulatory story to a commercial one, with investors shifting quickly to questions of launch execution, insurance coverage and pricing. The company said it expects to launch Nereus in the coming months. Reuters+1 It also gives Vanda a fresh catalyst heading into year-end trading, when extended-hours moves can be amplified by thinner liquidity. Shares closed
NIO stock steadies in premarket as China rolls out 2026 trade-in subsidies for EVs

NIO stock steadies in premarket as China rolls out 2026 trade-in subsidies for EVs

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 04:12 ET — Premarket Shares of China’s NIO Inc were little changed in early premarket trading on Wednesday after climbing 3% in the previous session, as traders weighed fresh signs Beijing will keep leaning on consumer support into 2026. The focus is on policy, not company headlines. For EV makers, demand in China can turn quickly on rebates, financing incentives and price cuts — and investors have been hunting for visibility into early-2026 orders. The timing matters, too. Year-end trading can be thin, and China-linked American depositary shares (ADSs) often swing more than usual when

Stock Market Today: S&P 500 futures slip on New Year’s Eve as Meta’s Manus deal fuels AI chatter

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 04:34 ET — Premarket U.S. stock index futures edged lower early Wednesday, setting up a cautious start to New Year’s Eve trading as investors weighed a fresh burst of dealmaking in artificial intelligence against a late-year pullback in big tech. The final session of the year tends to bring lighter volumes, and that can magnify moves as funds rebalance portfolios and adjust risk before year-end statements and benchmark resets. The S&P 500 is up about 17% so far this year and the Dow has logged a long monthly winning streak, leaving little tolerance for surprises.
Vodafone shares near £1 as buyback filing hits and valuation debate sharpens

Vodafone shares near £1 as buyback filing hits and valuation debate sharpens

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 03:53 ET Vodafone shares hovered just below the £1 level on Wednesday, trading at about 99.22 pence in London, as the telecoms group continued a steady run of share buybacks into year-end. (https://www.investing.com/equities/vodafone-historical-data) The move matters because the one-pound mark is a psychological threshold for retail and institutional investors in the U.K., where Vodafone is a heavyweight in the FTSE 100. It also comes as trading volumes thin out around the holidays, making price levels and corporate buying programmes more visible in daily market moves. In a regulatory filing on Tuesday, Vodafone said it repurchased

AI stocks today: Nvidia’s China H200 chip rush puts chipmakers in focus before New Year trade

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 03:59 ET — Market closed Nvidia (NVDA.O) has approached contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (2330.TW) to ramp output of its H200 graphics processing units — chips used to train and run artificial-intelligence models — as demand from Chinese tech firms jumps, sources told Reuters. Chinese companies have ordered more than 2 million H200 chips for 2026, far above the roughly 700,000 units Nvidia holds in inventory, the people said. TSMC is expected to begin work on expanded output in the second quarter of 2026, and the plan depends on whether Beijing clears H200 imports

EQT stock wobbles premarket as U.S. natural gas futures slide after weather-driven rally

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 04:06 ET — Premarket EQT Corp shares were last down about 0.5% in extended trading early Wednesday, tracking a pullback in U.S. natural gas futures. Investing.com+1 The move matters because producers’ revenue is tied to natural gas prices, which can swing sharply in winter as heating demand rises and falls with the weather. This week’s volatility has been amplified by strong liquefied natural gas (LNG) export demand — LNG is natural gas cooled into a liquid for shipment — which can tighten the domestic market when export plants pull more fuel from U.S. pipelines. hellenicshippingnews.com

Silver price stock today: SLV in focus as spot silver drops 7% from record highs

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 02:54 ET — Market closed. Spot silver slid 7.1% to $71.02 an ounce early Wednesday, extending a sharp retreat from Monday’s record $83.62. Reuters The pullback matters now because silver’s outsized 2025 rally has pushed more trading into equity-style vehicles such as silver-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which trade like stocks. Those products reprice quickly when the metal swings. Reuters It is also a year-end tape. Liquidity is thinner, and positioning tends to be crowded after big runs, making price moves look more dramatic than they would in a normal week. Reuters The dollar was part

Dow Jones today: Fed minutes and thin liquidity set the tone for 2025’s final session

NEW YORK, Dec 31, 2025, 02:56 ET — Market closed The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended slightly lower on Tuesday as investors digested Federal Reserve meeting minutes and pared exposure to parts of the tech-heavy rally into the year’s final session. The index finished at 48,367.06, down 94.87 points, or 0.20%. Reuters The timing matters. Wednesday is the last U.S. cash equity session of 2025, and trading has been thin, a setup that can amplify swings when big funds rebalance portfolios and traders close books. Reuters A fresh debate is taking shape under the surface: whether 2026 returns broaden beyond

Bristol-Myers Squibb stock edges higher as Wall Street drifts into year-end — what’s next for BMY

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 23:30 ET — Market closed Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. shares closed up 0.18% at $54.21 on Tuesday, after trading between $53.92 and $54.35. The stock has ranged from $42.52 to $63.33 over the past 52 weeks. Bristol Myers Squibb Investors The modest gain came as Wall Street drifted lower in holiday-thinned trade. “The growth rates are going to converge between technology and everything else next year,” said Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide, as investors repositioned after a tech-led run; the S&P 500 slipped 0.14% and the Nasdaq fell 0.23%.

Newmont stock rebounds as gold steadies after CME margin jolt; Raymond James lifts target

Newmont stock rebounds as gold steadies after CME margin jolt; Raymond James lifts target

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 23:23 ET — Market closed Newmont Corporation shares closed up 2.1% at $101.86 on Tuesday, snapping back as gold prices recovered from a sharp early-week slide. The stock traded between $100.31 and $102.70 during the session. The rebound came after the CME said new performance bond (margin) requirements for metals futures would take effect after the close of business on Dec. 29 — a change that can force leveraged traders to cut positions. Investors also digested minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Dec. 9–10 meeting, released Tuesday, that highlighted divisions after officials voted to lower rates

Constellation Energy stock slips today as Calpine deal steps and nuclear AI demand stay in focus

Constellation Energy stock slips today as Calpine deal steps and nuclear AI demand stay in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 23:22 ET — Market closed Constellation Energy Corporation shares slipped 0.4% to $357.12 on Tuesday, ending the session lower as the market headed into the final trading days of the year. The move matters because Constellation has become a key proxy for bets that electricity demand from artificial intelligence data centers will keep tightening U.S. power markets, lifting the value of steady, around-the-clock generation such as nuclear. Nuclear sentiment was in focus again after Duke Energy said it applied to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for an early site permit for a potential new nuclear

Lockheed Martin stock today dips despite $500 million Pentagon contract flow for Aegis, THAAD work

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 23:22 ET — Market closed Lockheed Martin Corp shares finished slightly lower on Tuesday after the Pentagon disclosed about $500 million in contract modifications tied to the contractor’s naval combat systems and missile-defense work. The new awards matter now because investors are trying to gauge how reliably big defense primes can translate steady government spending into cash flow as 2025 ends and budget debates shift toward 2026. They also highlight the role of foreign military sales and allied demand in Lockheed’s order pipeline. Foreign Military Sales is a U.S. government program that handles government-to-government weapons

ConocoPhillips stock rises as oil steadies; Australia gas well update and Feb. 5 earnings in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 23:19 ET — Market closed ConocoPhillips shares ended Tuesday up about 1.6% at $94.10, after trading between $92.79 and $94.31. The gain mattered because oil producers have been moving with crude into year-end, with traders trying to price 2026 supply risks against signs of a looser market. For ConocoPhillips, the next major checkpoint is guidance. The company is set to release fourth-quarter results before the market opens on Feb. 5 and host a conference call later that day to discuss 2026 guidance, it said. ConocoPhillips Oil prices finished near flat on Tuesday after Monday’s jump,

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 23:11 ET — Market closed Arm Holdings’ U.S.-listed sponsored ADRs (ARM.O) ended Tuesday up 0.32% at $110.86, a small gain in a choppy session that left the broader market slightly lower. MarketWatch+1 The muted move matters now because investors are recalibrating rate-sensitive growth exposure into year-end, after minutes from the Federal Reserve’s December meeting highlighted unusually sharp divisions over the path of policy. Reuters For Arm, the next clear company catalyst is earnings. Arm’s investor relations calendar lists Feb. 4, 2026 as a tentative date for its fiscal third-quarter results, a report investors will use
Last day for India taxpayers: Aadhaar–PAN linking and revised ITR deadline collide on Dec. 31

Last day for India taxpayers: Aadhaar–PAN linking and revised ITR deadline collide on Dec. 31

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:59 ET India has set a Dec. 31 deadline for a subset of Permanent Account Number (PAN) holders to provide their Aadhaar number to tax authorities, according to a government notification. (Notification No. 26/2025) The cut-off matters because PAN is the tax identity number used for filing income tax returns and is commonly required for many financial activities. A PAN that becomes inoperative can create friction for taxpayers when they file returns or complete transactions. The date also lands at the end of India’s year-end compliance window. The Income Tax Department’s tax calendar lists Dec.
