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.

Arm stock edges higher as Fed minutes steer year-end tech trade — what investors watch next

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.

Prologis stock ticks up as Fed minutes sharpen rate watch heading into New Year’s Eve session

Prologis stock ticks up as Fed minutes sharpen rate watch heading into New Year’s Eve session

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:52 ET — Market closed. Prologis Inc (PLD) shares closed up 0.4% at $129.01 on Tuesday, after trading between $128.24 and $129.14. Volume was about 1.8 million shares, according to market data. The modest move still matters for Prologis because real estate investment trusts (REITs) tend to trade with interest-rate expectations. Higher bond yields can pressure valuations, while lower yields can make REIT dividends and property cash flows look more attractive. Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Dec. 9-10 meeting, released Tuesday, showed the quarter-point rate cut was “finely balanced,” as officials debated labor-market risks against

Analog Devices stock slips as year-end tech dip cools semis; what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:49 ET — Market closed. Analog Devices (ADI) shares slipped on Tuesday, ending down 0.3% at $274.82 as chip stocks drifted lower into the final stretch of the year. StockAnalysis The move matters because liquidity is thin in the holiday-truncated week, which can amplify relatively small shifts in positioning across semiconductors and other growth-linked stocks. Reuters Investors also digested minutes from the U.S. Federal Reserve’s December meeting, keeping interest-rate expectations in focus for rate-sensitive technology shares. Reuters ADI traded between $274.59 and $277.10 during the session after opening at $276.70, market data showed. StockAnalysis The

Deere stock slips ahead of ex-dividend day as Fed minutes hit year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:44 PM ET — Market closed Deere & Company (DE) shares were last down 0.05% at $469.94 after U.S. markets closed on Tuesday. The stock traded between $469.00 and $473.10 during the session. The move comes with Deere due to trade ex-dividend on Wednesday. “Ex-dividend” means the shares change hands without the right to the next dividend payment, so buyers on or after that date generally do not receive it. StockAnalysis That matters at year-end, when lighter liquidity can amplify small, technical flows. For dividend-paying stocks, positioning around the ex-dividend date can also pull demand

IBM stock slips in thin year-end trade as tech rotation bites; eyes turn to Jan. 28 earnings

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 21:44 ET — Market closed International Business Machines fell 1.2% on Tuesday, ending at $302.05 as the stock eased back from recent highs in the final stretch of the year. Yahoo Finance The timing mattered. Liquidity tends to thin late in December, and that can amplify moves when investors rebalance portfolios heading into year-end. IBM has still gained about 37% so far in 2025, and Tuesday’s drop pushed it below key near-term trend levels that chart-focused traders track.
