Micron stock slips on ex-dividend day as chip rally cools into year-end

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 09:41 ET — Regular session Micron Technology (MU.O) shares fell 0.6% to $284.79 in early trade on Monday. The move mattered for two reasons: Micron started trading ex-dividend, and the broader tech bid that powered last week’s gains cooled into the final week of 2025. Nasdaq+1 An ex-dividend date is the cutoff that determines who gets the next dividend; investors who buy on or after that date do not receive the upcoming payment.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 07:20 ET — Premarket Insight Enterprises shares were little changed at $83.48 before the opening bell on Monday, after the stock rose about 3% on Friday’s close.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 07:18 ET — Premarket Grupo Aeroméxico’s U.S.-listed shares were indicated flat ahead of Monday’s open, last at $22.91 after a 3.29% jump on Friday. StockAnalysis The move matters because Aeroméxico is a relatively new U.S. listing, and thin, year-end trading can exaggerate price swings for recently listed stocks.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 06:50 ET — Premarket Nvidia (NVDA.O) shares fell 1.1% in premarket trading on Monday, tracking a dip in U.S. stock-index futures after Wall Street ended last week at record highs. Reuters The chipmaker’s early moves are closely watched because Nvidia has been a key proxy for investor appetite for artificial intelligence-linked stocks, a theme that has helped power U.S. equities in 2025.

Tesla drops in premarket as supplier slashes battery deal from $2.9 bln to $7,386

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 06:53 ET — Premarket Tesla shares slid in premarket trading on Monday after a key battery-material supplier disclosed a steep reduction in the projected value of a supply deal tied to the electric-vehicle maker. Tesla was down about 2.1% at $475.19. Reuters The disclosure matters because it points to softer near-term demand for materials used in Tesla’s newer battery design, at a time investors are looking for proof the company can lower costs and grow volumes in a cooling EV market. The cut also lands during a holiday-shortened week when thinner trading can amplify price swings. Reuters+1
