IBM stock slips in thin year-end trade as tech rotation bites; eyes turn to Jan. 28 earnings

IBM stock slips in thin year-end trade as tech rotation bites; eyes turn to Jan. 28 earnings

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 21:44 ET — Market closed International Business Machines fell 1.2% on Tuesday, ending at $302.05 as the stock eased back from recent highs in the final stretch of the year. Yahoo Finance The timing mattered. Liquidity tends to thin late in December, and that can amplify moves when investors rebalance portfolios heading into year-end. IBM has still gained about 37% so far in 2025, and Tuesday’s drop pushed it below key near-term trend levels that chart-focused traders track. A 50-day moving average — a simple trend gauge that smooths prices over 50 sessions — stood

Nu Holdings stock beats the market in thin year-end trade — what NU investors are watching next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:12 ET — Market closed Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: NU) shares climbed 1.3% to $16.88 on Tuesday, ending higher even as Wall Street posted a modest decline in the penultimate session of 2025. The move mattered because liquidity is thin into year-end, which can magnify day-to-day swings and drive fast rotations between crowded trades and laggards. For Nu, the bounce comes after a weaker month. The stock has fallen about 4.7% over the past four weeks, leaving investors watching whether the next earnings update can reset sentiment. Nu traded between $16.60 and $17.11 during the

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:04 ET — Market closed Eaton Corporation plc shares edged lower on Tuesday, closing down 0.18% at $320.86, as Wall Street drifted modestly lower in light year-end trading.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:06 ET — Market closed Palo Alto Networks shares finished flat on Tuesday after regulatory filings showed stock sales by two top executives, in muted year-end trading. SEC+1 The disclosures matter now because thin holiday liquidity can amplify reactions to company-specific signals, even when the transactions are routine.

Volume was about 1.33 million shares, and the stock was little changed in after-hours trading, which takes place electronically after the 4 p.m. close.

Applied Materials stock snaps 7-day rally as China pushes “50% domestic tools” rule

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 21:50 ET — Market closed Applied Materials, Inc. shares ended Tuesday down 1.17% at $259.97, snapping a seven-day winning streak for the chip-equipment maker.
