US Stock Market Today (Dec. 26, 2025): Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Return From Christmas With “Santa Rally” Season in Focus

NEW YORK — U.S. stocks head into Friday’s session (December 26, 2025) with Wall Street trying to extend a late-year push that has already lifted major indexes to fresh records. Trading is expected to be lighter than usual—many desks are thinly staffed, and several overseas markets are closed—making prices more prone to quick swings even when the headlines feel quiet. Investing The big question for “US stock market today” coverage isn’t just whether the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq can add to this week’s gains—but what kind of rally this is: a steady, fundamentals-driven grind higher, or

Dow Jones Today (Dec. 26, 2025): DJIA Slips After Record Close as “Santa Rally” Meets Holiday-Thin Trading

NEW YORK — The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is back in action on Friday, December 26, 2025, after U.S. markets were closed for Christmas Day. After notching a fresh record close in the pre-holiday session, the blue-chip index has cooled a touch in early post-Christmas trading, with liquidity expected to stay thin as many desks remain lightly staffed and large parts of Europe observe Boxing Day. Reuters At last check, the Dow’s real-time “derived” reading was hovering around 48,637, down roughly 0.2% (about 100 points) from the prior close, after the index last officially closed at 48,731.16.

Nuvama Wealth Stock Split Explained: Why Shares Show an “80% Fall” on Dec 26, 2025 — Plus DCM Shriram Demerger, Ram Ratna Bonus and Hilton Rights Issue in Focus

Nuvama Wealth Stock Split Explained: Why Shares Show an “80% Fall” on Dec 26, 2025 — Plus DCM Shriram Demerger, Ram Ratna Bonus and Hilton Rights Issue in Focus

Indian markets reopened after the Christmas trading holiday to a familiar kind of investor whiplash: price screens flashing what looks like a sudden collapse in a well-followed stock — even though nothing “crashed” in the underlying business. The headline move on Friday, December 26, 2025 was in Nuvama Wealth Management, where several trading apps and watchlists appeared to show a plunge of nearly 80% at the open. But the apparent fall was mechanical, driven by Nuvama’s 1:5 stock split (sub-division) taking effect. At the same time, three other corporate actions landed on investors’ calendars today — a demerger (DCM Shriram

Compass Group PLC Stock (LSE: CPG) on 26 December 2025: Vermaat Deal Lands, FY26 Guidance Targets ~10% Profit Growth, Analysts See Upside

Compass Group PLC stock is heading into the year-end lull with investors balancing two powerful forces: the steadiness of its outsourcing-driven growth engine and the reality that 2026 growth rates are expected to cool as inflation moderates. One practical wrinkle first: London markets are shut for the Christmas/Boxing Day holidays, so there’s no fresh UK trading print for Friday, 26 December 2025. Reuters noted the London market would remain closed on Thursday and Friday for Christmas and Boxing Day.

GSK plc Stock (NYSE: GSK, LSE: GSK): Latest News, Forecasts, and Key Catalysts as of Dec. 26, 2025

December 26, 2025 — GSK plc stock is closing out the year with a familiar mix of “defensive pharma stability” and “pipeline-driven volatility.” The past two weeks delivered a cluster of headline-worthy updates: a U.S. FDA approval for GSK’s twice-yearly asthma biologic, a high-profile U.S. drug-pricing agreement that directly touches GSK’s respiratory franchise, regulatory momentum for expanded vaccine use in Europe, and fresh competitive noise around Shingrix—one of GSK’s biggest profit engines.

Rolls‑Royce Holdings plc (LSE: RR., ADR: RYCEY) is ending 2025 in a rare position for a once-embattled industrial giant: it’s become one of the FTSE 100’s defining comeback stories, helped by a potent mix of higher widebody engine flying hours, improving engine durability, booming demand for backup power in data centres, and a renewed commitment to returning cash to shareholders.

London Stock Exchange Group plc (LON: LSEG) heads into the final stretch of 2025 with a weirdly quiet tape—because the tape is literally paused.

Unilever PLC Stock (UL, ULVR) Outlook on Dec. 26, 2025: Magnum Spin-Off Aftermath, Analyst Targets, and What Comes Next

December 26, 2025 — Unilever PLC stock is ending 2025 with a simpler corporate shape, a fresh set of catalysts, and (inevitably) a new set of debates about what the company should be worth. In early December, Unilever completed the demerger of its ice cream business into The Magnum Ice Cream Company, then followed with a share consolidation designed to keep per‑share metrics comparable post-split. Reuters On December 26 (Boxing Day), markets in the UK are closed, so the headline Unilever share price in London is essentially a “holiday snapshot” rather than a live tug-of-war between buyers and sellers.

It’s still the iron-ore giant whose cash flows can swing with China’s steel cycle. But in the past few weeks, investors have been repricing Rio as something closer to a “materials platform” for the electrification era: copper growth, aluminium discipline, and an emerging lithium pillar—wrapped in a CEO-led push to simplify, sell non-core assets, and squeeze more output (and cash) out of the existing base.
