Oracle stock slips into after-hours as tech fades on final day of 2025

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 4:48 ET — After-hours Oracle Corp shares were down 1.2% at $194.91 shortly after the close on Wednesday, as trading thinned into the New Year holiday.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 4:28 PM ET — After-hours Amazon.com (AMZN.O) shares slipped 0.7% to $230.82 in after-hours trading on Wednesday after a soft finish to the last regular session of 2025.

Meta stock slips after-hours as scam-ad scrutiny mounts, Manus AI deal draws focus

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 4:35 PM ET — After-hours Meta Platforms (META) shares slipped about 0.9% in after-hours trading on Wednesday, hovering near $660. The Facebook and Instagram owner traded between $659.35 and $667.08 in the session. The year-end move comes as investors weigh two forces that can pull in opposite directions: Meta’s push to add new AI features and the risk that tougher fraud rules raise costs or slow ad sales. With liquidity thinning into holidays, company-specific headlines can have an outsized impact. Meta still relies on advertising for the bulk of its revenue, which makes brand safety

UCL’s bicentenary countdown gets tense as provost says he’s “horrified” by antisemitism reports

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 16:24 ET University College London (UCL) President and Provost Michael Spence said he was “horrified” by reports that some Jewish students continue to face harassment and abuse, and said the university would keep acting quickly on incidents. The statement matters now because UCL is moving toward a high-profile bicentenary in 2026, when it plans a year of events marking 200 years since its founding. UCL says it has more than 50,000 students and over 16,000 staff, giving it an outsized public footprint in British higher education.

The stock’s modest move underscored how little it took to nudge megacap technology names at year-end, when many portfolio managers are closing books and liquidity is thinner than normal. “It’s perfectly fine in any bull market to have moments of cost,” said Giuseppe Sette, co-founder and president of Reflexivity, pointing to profit-taking when liquidity is low.
