Voya and Kempner just trimmed Lincoln National stock — what new filings show

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 08:54 ET Voya Investment Management and Kempner Capital Management reduced their exposure to Lincoln National Corp in the third quarter, regulatory disclosures showed.

Oracle stock slips after insider sale filing as OpenAI-linked spending stays in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 09:56 ET — Regular session Oracle shares fell 0.4% to $197.27 in early trading on Monday after a company officer disclosed a planned share sale, with investors still wary about the cost of the software maker’s push to expand AI-related cloud capacity.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 09:46 ET — Regular session Palantir Technologies Inc shares were down 0.9% at $187.10 shortly after the opening bell on Monday, reversing a small early bounce as the broader tech sector softened.
