Pfizer stock today: PFE in focus as 2026 U.S. drug price hikes kick off — what to watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 05:20 ET — Market closed. Pfizer Inc (NYSE:PFE) is in focus after annual U.S. drug pricing changes for 2026 included increases on some of its medicines, a politically sensitive topic heading into the new year. Pfizer shares last closed down 0.36% at $24.90 on Wednesday after trading between $24.88 and $25.02, with about 29.4 million shares changing hands. The price resets typically arrive on Jan. 1, when manufacturers post higher list prices — the sticker price before rebates — for many branded drugs. This year’s round is landing as the Trump administration keeps pressure on

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 05:36 ET — Market closed Ondas Holdings Inc shares closed up 8.6% at $9.76 on Wednesday after the Nasdaq-listed company flagged fresh orders in its autonomous systems business.

Western Digital stock today: WDC slips after year-end drop as New Year’s Day shuts markets

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 05:26 ET — Market closed Western Digital shares fell 2.2% to $172.27 in the final U.S. session of 2025, underperforming a broader market pullback before New Year’s Day closed Wall Street. The NYSE and Nasdaq are shut on Thursday and are set to reopen on Friday. MarketWatch The move came as U.S. stocks ended the year’s last session lower, with investors trimming risk in thin holiday trading. “It’s perfectly fine in any bull market to have moments of cost,” said Giuseppe Sette, co-founder and president of Reflexivity, as markets headed into 2026 with a heavy

Severn Trent’s ‘Critical’ Telford Water Expansion Plan Lands as Leicester Sinkhole Shuts Road

Severn Trent’s ‘Critical’ Telford Water Expansion Plan Lands as Leicester Sinkhole Shuts Road

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 05:14 ET Britain’s Severn Trent Water is seeking a “critical” expansion of its Rodway Water Treatment Works near Newport to extract more water and safeguard supply to around 43,000 properties in Telford, local media reported on Thursday. Shropshire Star The plan lands as utilities face heightened scrutiny over resilience after a run of winter disruptions, from supply interruptions to pipe bursts that can force emergency repairs and road closures. In England and Wales, most households receive water and sewerage services from licensed monopoly providers, with bills and investment packages reset through Ofwat’s five-year price review

Adobe stock (ADBE) dips ahead of 2026 open — here’s what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 05:28 ET — Market closed. Adobe Inc (ADBE) shares fell 0.7% to $349.99 at Wednesday’s close, ending the last U.S. trading session of 2025 on a softer note. The stock ranged from $349.69 to $352.88, with about 2.1 million shares changing hands. Yahoo Finance The move matters because the first trading days of the new year often set the tone for risk appetite, especially in technology-heavy names. Adobe is also treated as a read-through on corporate spending for design, marketing and productivity software. That scrutiny is amplified by the industry’s push to monetize generative AI

Qualcomm stock slides into the New Year as chip shares cool — what investors watch next

Qualcomm stock slides into the New Year as chip shares cool — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 05:07 ET — Market closed QUALCOMM Incorporated shares ended the last trading day of 2025 lower as chip stocks slipped with a broader year-end pullback. The decline matters because investors often reset positions at the turn of the calendar, and semiconductors were among the most crowded trades in 2025. For Qualcomm, the next catalyst is not another holiday-thin session. It is the first wave of January economic data and the company’s next update on demand for smartphone chips and licensing. Qualcomm (QCOM) fell $2.59, or 1.5%, to $171.05 on Wednesday. The shares traded between $170.88

Outlook Therapeutics stock drops after FDA issues another Lytenava CRL for wet AMD

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 04:59 ET — Market closed Outlook Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: OTLK) shares fell sharply in after-hours trading on Dec. 31 after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration again declined to approve its ONS-5010/LYTENAVA (bevacizumab-vikg) filing for wet age-related macular degeneration. The stock closed down 15.51% at $1.58 and slid to $0.58 after hours. Nasdaq The decision is the third complete response letter the company has received on the application, following earlier FDA letters in August 2023 and August 2025, Ophthalmology Times reported.

Strategy (MSTR) stock ends 2025 lower as bitcoin slips — what investors watch next

Strategy (MSTR) stock ends 2025 lower as bitcoin slips — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 05:12 ET — Market closed. Strategy Inc shares last closed down 2.3% at $151.95, after touching $151.44 in the session, as bitcoin eased to about $87,744 early on Thursday. U.S. stock markets are shut for the New Year’s Day holiday. Nasdaq The move matters because Strategy trades as a high-beta proxy for bitcoin, meaning it often magnifies swings in the cryptocurrency. Crypto trades around the clock, even when U.S. equities are dark, leaving investors to price bitcoin risk into the next session. That link is under fresh scrutiny after bitcoin’s late-2025 slide, which has tightened

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 05:03 ET — Market closed Apple Inc shares ended the last regular session down 0.45% at $271.86. U.S. stock markets are closed on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday and are set to reopen on Friday. The holiday pause gives investors a clean break between year-end positioning and the next run of catalysts. Apple remains a bellwether for consumer-tech demand and for the direction of Nasdaq heavyweights. The broader market also finished 2025 on a softer note, with the Nasdaq down 0.76% and technology and energy stocks among the biggest drags, Reuters reported. Thin

No $2,000 IRS stimulus check is coming in February 2026 — but Trump’s tariff-check talk keeps the rumors alive

7 February 2026
The IRS has not announced new federal stimulus payments for February 2026, and Congress has not approved fresh checks. Trump told NBC he is considering $2,000 tariff rebate checks but has not committed, saying any payout would likely come later in 2026. The IRS warns taxpayers to ignore texts and emails about “stimulus payments” and verify notices through official channels.
