GOOG stock ends lower as year-end tech trade cools — what Alphabet investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:41 ET — After-hours Alphabet Inc’s Class C (non-voting) shares (GOOG.O) ended the regular session down 0.4% on Monday and were little changed after the bell as heavyweight technology stocks pulled back in thin year-end trading. In after-hours trading — electronic trading after the 4 p.m. close — GOOG traded around $314.4. Yahoo Finance The drift lower matters now because Alphabet has been a key beneficiary of the 2025 run in large-cap technology, leaving investors sensitive to any pause in the sector as December liquidity thins. Alphabet is up roughly two-thirds in 2025, according to

Microsoft stock edges lower after the bell as year-end trade cools tech; MSFT investors eye Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:35 ET — After-hours Microsoft Corp shares ended Monday down about 0.1% at $487.11, after trading between $484.18 and $488.35 in the regular session. The stock was down about 0.1% in after-hours trading, the period after the 4 p.m. ET market close. StockAnalysis The muted move matters because Microsoft is one of the biggest weights in U.S. equity indexes, and late-December liquidity is thin as 2025 winds down. In that backdrop, small shifts in mega-cap technology can sway benchmarks and amplify day-to-day moves. U.S. stocks slipped broadly on Monday, with the S&P 500 down 0.3%

Apple Stock Steadies After Hours as Year-End Trading Turns Choppy; Fed Minutes Next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:14 ET — After-hours Apple Inc shares were up about 0.1% in after-hours trading at $273.74 on Monday, after slipping 0.15% in the regular session. The move matters because Apple is a heavyweight in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, so even a small swing can move index performance and risk sentiment when liquidity is thin. That matters more in the final week of the year, with U.S. markets closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day and few major corporate catalysts on the calendar.

Palantir stock slides after hours as tech cools into year-end; PLTR down 2.4%

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:24 ET — After-hours Palantir Technologies Inc (PLTR) shares fell $4.51, or 2.4%, to $184.20 in after-hours trading on Monday. The stock traded between $183.67 and $188.01 in the regular session, with about 26.4 million shares changing hands. The slide matters because Palantir has been one of 2025’s standout gainers, and year-end trading often magnifies profit-taking in high-flyers. The stock is up about 145% so far this year, according to Yahoo Finance. Yahoo Finance The broader tape turned softer into the final week of the year, with the S&P 500 down 0.34%, the Nasdaq off

AMD stock today: Shares tick higher after hours as year-end tech selling weighs on chipmakers

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 4:25 PM ET — After-hours Shares of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.O) rose 0.3% to $215.62 in after-hours trading on Monday, holding a small gain from the regular session. The stock finished up 0.28% at $215.58.

Micron stock closes up 3% as DRAM prices tick higher — why MU is moving today

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 4:09 PM ET — After-hours Micron Technology (MU) shares rose 3.4% on Monday to end at $294.40, rebounding from an early slide and finishing near the session high. The stock traded between $278.51 and $294.45 on volume of about 25.6 million shares, market data showed. The move matters because Micron sits in a pricing-driven corner of semiconductors, where small shifts in memory prices can flow quickly through earnings.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:13 ET — After-hours Tesla Inc (TSLA) shares were down 3.3% at $459.51 late in Monday’s regular session after South Korea’s L&F said the value of its battery-material supply deal with Tesla had shrunk to $7,386 from an earlier projection of $2.9 billion. “There is anxiety about the battery sector overall,” said Cho Hyun-ryul, a senior analyst at Samsung Securities.

The move matters now because year-end positioning is thinning liquidity and magnifying day-to-day swings in high-volatility tech names. Supermicro is treated as a proxy for spending on data-center builds, particularly systems that bundle advanced graphics chips into full server racks.

The stock opened at $31.37 and has traded between $30.25 and $33.15 so far in the session. The slide mattered because gold miners often move more than the underlying metal. Their costs tend to be slow to change, so swings in the gold price can quickly reshape profit expectations. That sensitivity comes into focus near year-end, when funds and commodity desks rebalance and lock in gains. Thin

The decline put a spotlight on a cyber risk that can matter quickly for database providers: patching cadence. When a vulnerability can be exploited without a login, security teams often move to lock down internet exposure before they do anything else. That urgency can ripple into spending decisions.

The Latin American e-commerce and payments bellwether is heading into the final three sessions of 2025, a stretch when lighter liquidity can make small moves look bigger than they are.
