Arcutis Biotherapeutics stock slides today as biotech pulls back, ARQT down nearly 3%

Arcutis Biotherapeutics stock slides today as biotech pulls back, ARQT down nearly 3%

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:45 ET — Regular session Arcutis Biotherapeutics shares fell 2.9% to $27.74 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, after moving between $27.72 and $28.65. Volume was about 0.6 million shares. The drop outpaced broader biotech gauges, with the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF down about 1.5% and the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF off about 1.1%. That matters for Arcutis because it trades as a growth story tied to one product franchise, leaving the stock prone to outsized moves when sentiment sours across biotech and high-multiple names. Arcutis is a commercial-stage medical dermatology company whose main product, Zoryve

Accenture stock slips as Argus cuts target; Fed minutes keep Wall Street cautious

Accenture stock slips as Argus cuts target; Fed minutes keep Wall Street cautious

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:33 ET — Regular session Accenture plc shares were down about 0.5% on Tuesday, drifting lower in a quiet year-end session after Argus lowered its price target on the IT services company while maintaining a buy rating. The move matters because Accenture is widely treated as a read-through on corporate technology spending, and late-December liquidity is thin. In that backdrop, even routine changes in analyst targets can move large-cap consulting names more than usual. Traders were also navigating a fresh macro signal after Federal Reserve meeting minutes showed policymakers split over how quickly to keep

Vera Therapeutics stock drops 3% today as biotech slips into year-end trading

Vera Therapeutics stock drops 3% today as biotech slips into year-end trading

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 2:26 PM ET — Regular session Vera Therapeutics, Inc. shares slid 3.4% to $50.45 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, giving back some recent gains as biotech stocks softened late in the year. The move matters now because Vera has become a bellwether “event-driven” biotech name, where day-to-day trading can swing sharply as investors calibrate risk around FDA timelines and competitive positioning in kidney disease. Thin year-end liquidity can amplify those swings, and traders have been quick to trim exposure to smaller, higher-beta healthcare names when the sector loses momentum. Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s December

Rigetti stock today: RGTI steadies as Fed minutes and year-end flows keep quantum names jumpy

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:34 ET — Regular session Rigetti Computing shares edged up 0.3% to $22.34 on Tuesday afternoon, after swinging about 3% between the day’s high and low. IonQ rose 1.2% and D-Wave Quantum gained 1.6%. The muted move matters because quantum-computing stocks have become a high-beta pocket of the market, prone to sudden swings when liquidity thins and rate expectations shift. With the calendar turning, traders are re-pricing how much room the Federal Reserve has to ease in 2026. U.S. stocks were subdued in holiday-thin trading, with investors rotating within technology after a late-year run-up, Reuters

Ares Management stock drops 3% in New York as Fed minutes hit year-end trading

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 2:20 PM ET — Regular session Shares of Ares Management Corp fell 3.1% to $163.85 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, down $5.20 from Monday’s close. The stock traded between $168.99 and $163.49, with about 966,000 shares changing hands. The move matters because Ares is closely tied to credit-market conditions. Investors are weighing where interest rates settle in early 2026 and what that means for fundraising, deal activity and returns in private credit. A Reuters Breakingviews column said private credit is losing some of its pricing edge as bank-led bond and loan markets regain momentum, pushing

AT&T stock today ticks higher as Fed minutes loom and year-end rotation lifts telecoms

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:35 ET — Regular session AT&T Inc shares were up 0.1% at $24.80 in afternoon trade on Tuesday, hovering near the top of a tight day range as the broader market struggled for direction. The stock traded between $24.75 and $24.85. The move matters because income-heavy telecom stocks often trade with interest-rate expectations at year-end, when many investors rebalance portfolios. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note rose 1.8 basis points — a basis point is 0.01 percentage point — to 4.134%, and traders were awaiting the Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes later in the

PayPal stock slips in late trade after Fed minutes; here’s what PYPL investors are watching next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:33 ET — Regular session PayPal Holdings (PYPL.O) shares were down about 0.6% at $59.14 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, after the Federal Reserve’s latest meeting minutes sharpened the debate over where interest rates go next. The move matters because liquidity is thin into year-end, when smaller trades can have an outsized impact on price. For consumer-facing fintech names like PayPal, rate expectations and spending signals can quickly swing sentiment. Investors are also recalibrating for 2026 after fresh color from the Fed on how comfortable policymakers are with further easing. The minutes are a detailed

IonQ stock rises today after South Korea seals 100-qubit quantum system deal

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:31 ET — Regular session IonQ, Inc. shares were up 1.3% at $45.83 in regular trading on Tuesday after the company said it finalized an agreement to deliver a 100-qubit Tempo quantum system to South Korea’s Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI). The stock has traded between $45.48 and $47.40, with volume around 9.3 million shares. IonQ said the system will be integrated into KISTI-6 “HANGANG,” a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster, in what it described as the country’s first on-site hybrid quantum-classical setup; CEO Niccolo de Masi called the deal “a defining moment
Freeport-McMoRan stock today: FCX edges up as copper rebounds toward record highs

Freeport-McMoRan stock today: FCX edges up as copper rebounds toward record highs

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 2:22 PM ET — Regular session Freeport-McMoRan shares rose about 0.5% to $51.75 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, after swinging between $50.87 and $52.67 earlier in the session. The move matters because Freeport’s earnings tend to track copper prices closely. When the metal rises, miners typically see higher revenue per pound sold, which can lift cash generation. Copper’s year-end rally has put the spotlight back on supply tightness and demand tied to electrification and the buildout of power-hungry data centers. That backdrop has helped keep interest in large, liquid copper names such as Freeport. U.S.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:21 ET — Regular session Karman Holdings Inc. shares were down 3.6% at $74.81 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, after touching $74.21 at the session low. The stock traded as high as $78.55, with about 465,000 shares changing hands. The dip comes in the final week of the year, when thinner liquidity can exaggerate moves in individual stocks. “It’s just a healthy rebalancing of allocations more so than an emotionally driven sell-off,” said Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide, in a broader market note on holiday-thin trading. Fund flows have also become a near-term
