AST SpaceMobile stock rises today after insider-buy filing as options heat up on BlueBird rollout

AST SpaceMobile stock rises today after insider-buy filing as options heat up on BlueBird rollout

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:15 ET — After-hours AST SpaceMobile, Inc. shares rose on Tuesday and were last up about 4.3% at $74.68 in after-hours trading, extending a volatile stretch for the satellite-to-smartphone company. The move matters because investors are trying to pin down how quickly AST can turn recent launch milestones into repeatable deployment — and, eventually, commercial service that supports the stock’s premium expectations. In the near term, traders have been keying off any new disclosures on insider activity, partner readiness and derivatives positioning as proxies for sentiment ahead of the company’s next operational updates.

Walmart stock today: WMT slips after app outage; SEC filings spotlight insider sales and trading plans

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:16 ET — After-hours. Walmart Inc (WMT) shares were down 0.5% at $111.92 in after-hours trading on Tuesday. The stock traded between $111.85 and $112.68 in the regular session, with about 11.7 million shares changing hands. The move comes during the year-end stretch when volumes tend to thin out and single headlines can sway sentiment. For Walmart, the focus is on execution heading out of the holiday period and into its fiscal fourth-quarter reporting window. A brief disruption in online service matters because Walmart’s growth plan increasingly runs through digital ordering and delivery. Any checkout

Exxon Mobil stock edges up after-hours as oil holds steady and energy sector leads year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:10 ET — After-hours Exxon Mobil (XOM) shares ticked higher in after-hours trading on Tuesday, rising about 0.4% to $120.99 as of 5:10 p.m. ET. The stock traded between $120.63 and $121.75 during the session, with volume around 11.1 million shares. The move mattered because Exxon and its peers tend to track crude oil prices, and oil has swung on geopolitics into the final stretch of the year. Trading has also been thinner than usual, which can amplify sector moves. Energy led the S&P 500’s sector performance, with the energy sub-index up 0.8% as fading

Eli Lilly stock ticks up after hours as China price cuts put Mounjaro, Wegovy in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 5:08 PM ET — After-hours Eli Lilly shares were up 0.1% in after-hours trading on Tuesday at $1,079.75 after a Reuters report said it and Novo Nordisk are lowering prices of their top-selling obesity drugs in China. Reuters The pricing move matters because investors have treated Lilly’s obesity franchise as a main growth engine, helping support a premium valuation. A sharper-than-expected push to discount in large markets can pressure margins, even if it expands the customer base. It also lands as drugmakers pivot toward cash-pay channels — patients paying out of pocket, rather than relying

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 5:05 PM ET — After-hours UnitedHealth Group shares were up about 1% at $332.16 in after-hours trading on Tuesday, following the 4 p.m. close. The stock ranged from $329.18 to $336.03 during the day’s session, with about 4.4 million shares traded. The gain came as U.S. stocks ended slightly lower in holiday-thin trading. The S&P 500 slipped 0.14%, the Dow fell 0.20% and the Nasdaq lost 0.23%. Reuters Investors are repositioning as 2025 winds down, and swings can look sharper when volumes are light. “It’s just a healthy rebalancing of allocations more so than an

AppLovin stock slips after Fed minutes as year-end tech rotation hits APP shares

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 16:58 ET — After-hours AppLovin shares eased in after-hours trading on Tuesday, last down 0.8% at $693.71. The pullback lands as investors thin out risk into year-end and recalibrate expectations for interest rates after the Federal Reserve’s latest meeting minutes. Higher rates typically pressure richly valued growth stocks because future profits are discounted more heavily. Reuters+1 AppLovin has been a standout in 2025, up about 121% year-to-date, leaving the stock more exposed to profit-taking during holiday-light trading. MarketBeat+1 The Fed’s minutes — the detailed account of policymakers’ debate — showed deep divisions at the December

Costco stock edges lower after hours as investors circle Jan. 7 sales update

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:05 ET — After-hours Costco Wholesale Corporation shares eased in after-hours trading on Tuesday, with the stock down about 0.2% at $865.65 at 17:05 ET. The late-session drift came as investors wrapped up a holiday-thinned trading week and digested signals on interest rates, a key input for valuation across the market. U.S. equities finished slightly lower and Federal Reserve minutes released on Tuesday underscored a nuanced debate over economic risks. Reuters For Costco, the timing matters because the next company read on demand is close. The warehouse retailer is scheduled to publish its December sales

Goldman Sachs stock slips after Fed minutes — here’s what traders are watching next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 16:52 ET — After-hours Goldman Sachs shares slipped on Tuesday, down about 0.9% at $884.42 in after-hours trading. The stock traded between $881.25 and $895.39 during the session. The move matters because Goldman is a bellwether for investment banks, where shifts in rate expectations can ripple through trading activity, dealmaking sentiment and risk appetite. It also comes at a tricky moment on the calendar. Thin year-end volumes can amplify small moves, especially in high-priced Dow components like Goldman. Other big banks were mixed to lower in late trading, with JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley and Bank of

Robinhood stock slips after December trading-volumes snapshot; Needham trims target on crypto caution

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 16:55 ET — After-hours Robinhood Markets closed down 1.7% at $115.45 on Tuesday, after touching $118.57 earlier in the session. Shares were little changed in after-hours trading. The move follows a late-day update from the online brokerage on how much customers have traded so far this month, a metric investors use as a quick read on momentum. Robinhood’s transaction revenue rises and falls with activity, particularly in options and crypto. The timing matters because Wall Street has been debating whether retail trading is cooling into year-end after a volatile stretch for digital assets. Needham on

Netflix stock dips after hours as Warner Bros seen rejecting Paramount bid in latest twist

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 4:42 PM ET — After-hours Netflix (NFLX.O) shares slipped in after-hours trade on Tuesday after a report said Warner Bros Discovery was expected to reject Paramount Skydance’s latest hostile bid, keeping Netflix’s offer in play. Netflix was down about 0.4% at $93.78. The bidding fight matters now because it has become the clearest near-term driver for Netflix sentiment, with investors weighing deal certainty against the risk of a higher price or tougher terms. It has also kept attention on how much balance-sheet risk Netflix would take on in a blockbuster transaction. Year-end trading conditions have

Intel stock climbs as Nvidia finalizes $5 billion stake — what’s next for INTC

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 4:32 PM ET — After-hours Intel (INTC) shares rose about 1.7% to $37.30 in after-hours trading on Tuesday, extending gains from the prior session after the chipmaker confirmed Nvidia’s $5 billion investment has closed. The confirmation lands as Intel tries to rebuild investor confidence around a turnaround that requires heavy spending on manufacturing and next-generation chip development. It also crystallizes one of the more unusual alignments in the sector: the world’s leading AI chip company taking a large equity stake in a longtime CPU rival, while both compete for data-center dollars.

Strategy (MSTR) stock today: Shares hold near $156 after fresh bitcoin-buying update

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 16:48 ET — After-hours Strategy Inc (MSTR) shares were up 0.1% at $155.61 in after-hours trading on Tuesday after moving between $154.25 and $159.32 during the regular session. Bitcoin rose 1.1% to $88,203 and other crypto-linked stocks were mixed, with Coinbase down 0.9%, Marathon Digital off 1.8% and Riot Platforms down 3.8%. The move matters because Strategy has become a widely used proxy for bitcoin sentiment in U.S. equities. Its large bitcoin holdings can make the stock swing harder than the cryptocurrency itself. That matters now because Strategy often finances purchases by selling new shares,
