IREN stock slips in New York trade as bitcoin eases into year-end

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:50 ET — Regular session IREN Limited shares fell about 1% on Wednesday to $37.92, paring earlier losses as the price of bitcoin drifted lower. The Nasdaq-listed company sits at the intersection of two volatile trades: bitcoin mining and data centers built for artificial intelligence workloads. That combination has made the stock sensitive to shifts in crypto prices and risk appetite. Reuters Moves late in the year can also be magnified by portfolio adjustments, as funds lock in gains or harvest losses before the calendar turns. “Some year-end rebalancing is going on,” Michael Dehal, senior

Eli Lilly stock today: LLY slips as China Mounjaro cuts and U.S. pricing reset draw focus

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:48 ET — Regular session Eli Lilly shares edged lower on Wednesday as investors weighed new signals that blockbuster diabetes and obesity drugs are heading into 2026 with lower price tags in some markets. The stock was down 0.1% at $1,078.95 by 1:48 p.m. ET, after trading between $1,076.86 and $1,083.25. The pricing debate matters for Lilly because its growth story is dominated by GLP-1 drugs, a class of diabetes and obesity treatments that mimic a gut hormone to curb appetite and lower blood sugar. Moves that broaden access can lift volumes, but price cuts

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:52 ET — Regular session Sandisk Corp shares were down 1.1% at $237.64 on Wednesday, after the flash-memory maker set Jan. 29 for its fiscal second-quarter results as year-end trading stayed thin. The stock has ranged from $235.54 to $241.69, while peers Western Digital, Micron Technology and Seagate Technology also traded lower and the broader market drifted modestly down. The timing matters because Sandisk has been one of 2025’s biggest winners, rising nearly 600% since returning to the market after being spun off from Western Digital earlier this year and joining the S&P 500 in

Rocket Companies stock drops today as RKT gives back gains despite 2025-low mortgage rates

Rocket Companies stock drops today as RKT gives back gains despite 2025-low mortgage rates

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:13 ET — Regular session Rocket Companies Inc shares were down 3.2% at $19.41 in early afternoon trading on Wednesday, after touching $20.19 earlier in the session. The stock has traded between $19.41 and $20.19, while the broader market was modestly lower. The move matters because Rocket’s business is tightly linked to mortgage rates: lower rates can revive refinancing and boost home-loan demand, while higher rates tend to choke off volume. The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage fell to 6.15% this week, its lowest level in 2025, Freddie Mac said. Freddie Mac “After starting the year
