Constellation Energy stock slips today as Calpine deal steps and nuclear AI demand stay in focus

Constellation Energy stock slips today as Calpine deal steps and nuclear AI demand stay in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 23:22 ET — Market closed Constellation Energy Corporation shares slipped 0.4% to $357.12 on Tuesday, ending the session lower as the market headed into the final trading days of the year. The move matters because Constellation has become a key proxy for bets that electricity demand from artificial intelligence data centers will keep tightening U.S. power markets, lifting the value of steady, around-the-clock generation such as nuclear. Nuclear sentiment was in focus again after Duke Energy said it applied to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for an early site permit for a potential new nuclear

Lockheed Martin stock today dips despite $500 million Pentagon contract flow for Aegis, THAAD work

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 23:22 ET — Market closed Lockheed Martin Corp shares finished slightly lower on Tuesday after the Pentagon disclosed about $500 million in contract modifications tied to the contractor’s naval combat systems and missile-defense work. The new awards matter now because investors are trying to gauge how reliably big defense primes can translate steady government spending into cash flow as 2025 ends and budget debates shift toward 2026. They also highlight the role of foreign military sales and allied demand in Lockheed’s order pipeline. Foreign Military Sales is a U.S. government program that handles government-to-government weapons

ConocoPhillips stock rises as oil steadies; Australia gas well update and Feb. 5 earnings in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 23:19 ET — Market closed ConocoPhillips shares ended Tuesday up about 1.6% at $94.10, after trading between $92.79 and $94.31. The gain mattered because oil producers have been moving with crude into year-end, with traders trying to price 2026 supply risks against signs of a looser market. For ConocoPhillips, the next major checkpoint is guidance. The company is set to release fourth-quarter results before the market opens on Feb. 5 and host a conference call later that day to discuss 2026 guidance, it said. ConocoPhillips Oil prices finished near flat on Tuesday after Monday’s jump,

Arm stock edges higher as Fed minutes steer year-end tech trade — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 23:11 ET — Market closed Arm Holdings’ U.S.-listed sponsored ADRs (ARM.O) ended Tuesday up 0.32% at $110.86, a small gain in a choppy session that left the broader market slightly lower. MarketWatch+1 The muted move matters now because investors are recalibrating rate-sensitive growth exposure into year-end, after minutes from the Federal Reserve’s December meeting highlighted unusually sharp divisions over the path of policy. Reuters For Arm, the next clear company catalyst is earnings. Arm’s investor relations calendar lists Feb. 4, 2026 as a tentative date for its fiscal third-quarter results, a report investors will use

Last day for India taxpayers: Aadhaar–PAN linking and revised ITR deadline collide on Dec. 31

Last day for India taxpayers: Aadhaar–PAN linking and revised ITR deadline collide on Dec. 31

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:59 ET India has set a Dec. 31 deadline for a subset of Permanent Account Number (PAN) holders to provide their Aadhaar number to tax authorities, according to a government notification. (Notification No. 26/2025) The cut-off matters because PAN is the tax identity number used for filing income tax returns and is commonly required for many financial activities. A PAN that becomes inoperative can create friction for taxpayers when they file returns or complete transactions. The date also lands at the end of India’s year-end compliance window. The Income Tax Department’s tax calendar lists Dec.

Southern Copper stock today: SCCO pares early jump as copper nears $13,000

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:59 ET — Market closed Southern Copper Corp (SCCO) ended slightly higher on Tuesday, closing up 0.1% at $145.48. The shares swung between $145.34 and $149.33 after opening at $148.09. Copper prices stayed in focus after the metal edged toward $13,000 a metric ton in London, squeezed by mine disruptions and supply being pulled into the United States ahead of potential tariffs. “Tariff worries have encouraged buyers to front-load shipments into the U.S.,” SP Angel analyst John Meyer said in a note, referring to accelerated deliveries before possible duties; U.S. Comex prices were also trading

Prologis stock ticks up as Fed minutes sharpen rate watch heading into New Year’s Eve session

Prologis stock ticks up as Fed minutes sharpen rate watch heading into New Year’s Eve session

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:52 ET — Market closed. Prologis Inc (PLD) shares closed up 0.4% at $129.01 on Tuesday, after trading between $128.24 and $129.14. Volume was about 1.8 million shares, according to market data. The modest move still matters for Prologis because real estate investment trusts (REITs) tend to trade with interest-rate expectations. Higher bond yields can pressure valuations, while lower yields can make REIT dividends and property cash flows look more attractive. Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Dec. 9-10 meeting, released Tuesday, showed the quarter-point rate cut was “finely balanced,” as officials debated labor-market risks against

Chubb stock today: CB slips on Fed minutes, holds near a 52-week peak

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:46 ET — Market closed Chubb Limited shares ended slightly lower on Tuesday as investors weighed fresh signals on where U.S. interest rates go next. The stock closed at $314.14, down about 0.1%. The move matters because insurers invest premium income largely in bonds, and shifting yields can change what new investments earn over time. Rate expectations also shape risk appetite late in the year, when liquidity can thin and price swings can look larger than usual. U.S. stocks finished modestly lower and Treasury yields edged up after the Federal Reserve released minutes of its

Analog Devices stock slips as year-end tech dip cools semis; what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:49 ET — Market closed. Analog Devices (ADI) shares slipped on Tuesday, ending down 0.3% at $274.82 as chip stocks drifted lower into the final stretch of the year. StockAnalysis The move matters because liquidity is thin in the holiday-truncated week, which can amplify relatively small shifts in positioning across semiconductors and other growth-linked stocks. Reuters Investors also digested minutes from the U.S. Federal Reserve’s December meeting, keeping interest-rate expectations in focus for rate-sensitive technology shares. Reuters ADI traded between $274.59 and $277.10 during the session after opening at $276.70, market data showed. StockAnalysis The

Union Pacific stock slips as rivals press regulators to reject Norfolk Southern merger filing; UNP sets Q4 earnings date

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:43 PM ET — Market closed Union Pacific Corporation shares fell 0.6% to close at $233.11 on Tuesday, as investors digested fresh pushback from rival railroads seeking to derail the company’s merger application with Norfolk Southern on procedural grounds. Yahoo Finance+1 The filings matter because the merger is entering a gatekeeping phase at the U.S. Surface Transportation Board, the federal regulator that oversees freight-rail competition and approves major rail combinations. If the board decides the application is incomplete, the review clock effectively resets. Surface Transportation Board+1 That timing risk is front and center for Union

Deere stock slips ahead of ex-dividend day as Fed minutes hit year-end trade

Deere stock slips ahead of ex-dividend day as Fed minutes hit year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:44 PM ET — Market closed Deere & Company (DE) shares were last down 0.05% at $469.94 after U.S. markets closed on Tuesday. The stock traded between $469.00 and $473.10 during the session. The move comes with Deere due to trade ex-dividend on Wednesday. “Ex-dividend” means the shares change hands without the right to the next dividend payment, so buyers on or after that date generally do not receive it. StockAnalysis That matters at year-end, when lighter liquidity can amplify small, technical flows. For dividend-paying stocks, positioning around the ex-dividend date can also pull demand

Seagate (STX) stock slips as 2025 AI-storage rally cools — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:25 ET — Market closed Seagate Technology Holdings plc shares fell 0.4% to close at $280.08 on Tuesday, after trading between $278.90 and $284.09. The pullback matters because Seagate has been one of the market’s standout “AI infrastructure” winners this year, riding demand for data storage as cloud companies build out data centers. With the calendar turning, investors are reassessing how much of that story is already in the stock. That debate has sharpened into year-end, when positioning can shift quickly and high-flying names often see profit-taking. Traders are also looking ahead to the company’s

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

The IRS has not announced new federal stimulus payments for February 2026, and Congress has not approved fresh checks.

The IRS warns taxpayers to ignore texts and emails about “stimulus payments” and verify notices through official channels.
