Tesla stock ends 2025 lower as Musk charity share gift surfaces ahead of deliveries

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 7:33 PM ET — Market closed. Tesla shares finished the last trading session of 2025 lower after a regulatory filing showed Chief Executive Elon Musk gifted 210,699 shares to charities at the end of December. The stock last closed down 1.1% at $449.72. SEC The disclosure matters now because Tesla enters 2026 with investor focus turning back to near-term demand signals, starting with its quarterly vehicle deliveries update expected Friday.

Plug Power stock ends 2025 higher after analyst upgrade — with a key share-vote ahead

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 19:30 ET — Market closed Plug Power shares ended the year on a firmer note after Clear Street upgraded the hydrogen fuel-cell maker, even as U.S. equity markets went dark on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. TipRanks+1 The upgrade matters heading into the first trading day of 2026 because Plug’s stock has been volatile and investors remain focused on financing risk at cash-hungry clean-energy names, where new share issuance can quickly dilute existing holders. TipRanks+1 It also lands as shareholders head toward a late-January vote that could expand Plug’s ability to issue stock.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 19:30 ET — Market closed NIO Inc said it delivered a record 48,135 vehicles in December, capping a record quarter for the Chinese electric-vehicle maker. Its U.S.-listed shares last closed at $5.10, down 7.4%, with Wall Street shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. The delivery tally matters because it is one of the few high-frequency readouts investors get from Chinese EV makers. With no U.S. trading session on Thursday, the update sets the tone for how the stock could open when markets return on Friday. It also lands as sentiment around China’s

Vertiv stock ends 2025 down 1.5% as markets shut for New Year’s — what to watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 19:15 ET — Market closed Vertiv Holdings Co shares ended the final trading session of 2025 down 1.5% at $162.01, as U.S. markets stayed closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day. Reuters The move matters because Vertiv has become a closely watched proxy for spending on data centers, including power and cooling gear needed for AI-heavy computing loads. That makes the stock sensitive to shifts in risk appetite as investors reset positions at the start of a new year. Vertiv Holdings Co. Wall Street closed 2025 with another down session, even as the main indexes

Pan American Silver stock slips into 2026 as bullion cools; Galleon financing in focus

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 19:15 ET — Market closed Pan American Silver Corp (NYSE: PAAS) shares last closed down about 1.7% at $51.81 on Dec. 31, trimming gains into year-end after a sharp run-up for precious metals. Yahoo Finance The pullback matters because 2026 is starting with bullion prices still near record territory, and silver miners tend to magnify swings in the underlying metal as investors reset risk. Pan American’s revenue is closely tied to silver and gold prices, leaving the stock sensitive to shifts in macro expectations. Investors are also focusing on miners’ capital allocation after a record

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 19:11 ET — Market closed Starbucks Corp shares ended the last regular session of 2025 down 1.22% at $84.21, underperforming a broadly weaker market on Dec. 31.

Cisco stock today: CSCO heads into Jan. 2 ex-dividend as Wall Street reopens

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 7:07 PM ET — Market closed Cisco Systems (CSCO) shares will return to trading on Friday with the stock set to go ex-dividend, a calendar event that can sway near-term price action. The shares last closed down about 0.5% at $77.03. The timing matters because Jan. 2 marks the first U.S. trading day of 2026 and post-holiday liquidity — how easily shares change hands without moving the price — can be thin. Dividend-related flows can magnify moves when company news is light. Cisco heads into the reopening after U.S. stocks ended 2025 lower, with the

New York Stock Exchange The pause matters because gold miners tend to take their cue from bullion and real-time shifts in rates and the dollar, which can reset trader positioning quickly after a holiday break. Spot gold fell 0.78% to $4,312.39 an ounce in the last session, Reuters market data showed. Reuters Treasury yields firmed after a U.S. labor-market reading surprised to

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 18:59 ET — Market closed Shares of CRISPR Therapeutics AG ended the last trading session of 2025 down 1.4% at $52.44. U.S. stock markets were closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day, according to the NYSE holiday calendar. StockAnalysis+1 The pullback matters because CRISPR heads into 2026 with its first commercial product still early in launch and with investors seeking clearer signs of demand. The stock has tended to react sharply to shifts in sentiment around gene-editing drugmakers. Traders are also looking ahead to the next set of checkpoints: read-throughs from partner Vertex Pharmaceuticals, which

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 18:59 ET — Market closed. Zeta Global Holdings Corp shares last closed down 2.2% at $20.35 on Wednesday, the final U.S. trading session of 2025, with markets closed on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. Investing The pause matters because holiday-thinned trading can exaggerate moves, and investors are setting positions for 2026 after a strong year for equities.
