NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:23 ET — Market closed Synopsys shares ended Monday up 0.4% at $478.97, holding gains into the close even as broader U.S. stocks slipped in holiday-thinned trading.

Mastercard stock slips with payments peers as year-end trading thins; MA eyes Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:31 ET — Market closed Mastercard Inc shares fell 0.3% to $577.90 on Monday, after trading between $577.01 and $581.99. The move mattered because year-end liquidity is thinning, amplifying small shifts in risk appetite across large-cap stocks. Investors also start repositioning for January, when macro data and central bank signals typically regain control of price action. For payments stocks, the rate outlook has become a near-term driver. Expectations for 2026 policy easing can support spending and travel volumes that generate fees for card networks, while higher yields can pressure equity valuations. Wall Street’s main indexes

KLA stock drops after tech pullback hits chip equipment names; Fed minutes next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:14 ET — Market closed KLA Corp shares fell on Monday, snapping a six-session winning streak, as a pullback in heavyweight technology stocks spilled into chip-linked names. MarketWatch+1 The move matters now because chip equipment makers like KLA sit early in the semiconductor supply chain, and their shares often track shifts in investor appetite for the tech trade. Year-end positioning can exaggerate those swings when liquidity is thin. Reuters+1 Wall Street started the holiday-shortened week on a softer note after last week’s rally, with the Nasdaq down 0.5% and the S&P 500 off 0.35%, Reuters

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:14 ET — Market closed Wells Fargo & Co shares fell 0.8% on Monday to close at $94.52, as U.S. bank stocks retreated in thin year-end trading. The stock traded between $94.37 and $95.61. StockAnalysis The move matters because banks have been among the steadier performers this year, and investors often trim exposure into the final sessions of the calendar. The SPDR S&P Bank ETF slid 0.9%, and the Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF ended down about 0.5%. Treasury yields set the starting point for lending rates, and they influence the return banks earn on

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 09:11 PM ET — Market closed Warner Bros Discovery’s Series A shares were down 1 cent, or 0.04%, at $28.79 on Monday. The stock is trading like a deal-arbitrage play, with investors trying to price the odds of rival bids for the media group and the timing of what comes next. Paramount Skydance is pursuing a $30-per-share all-cash tender offer, while Netflix has a board-backed cash-and-stock agreement on the table.

Verizon stock ends flat at $40 as VZ sets Jan. 30 earnings date; traders watch Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:04 ET — Market closed Verizon Communications Inc shares ended Monday flat at $40.48 and were last down 0.1% at $40.44 in after-hours trading after the carrier said it will report fourth-quarter results on Jan. 30. StockAnalysis+1 The announcement locks in the next near-term catalyst for a stock that has been rangebound into year-end, with investors focused on how carriers navigated holiday promotions and customer switching. That matters because Verizon’s quarterly update is one of the few hard datapoints left on the calendar before January, when trading volumes often pick up and rate expectations can

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:01 ET — Market closed The Coca-Cola Company (KO.N) shares closed up 0.4% at $70.16 on Monday, holding in positive territory as U.S. stocks ended lower in holiday-thinned trading.

Western Digital stock slips as tech cools; Fed minutes and Jan. 22 earnings date loom

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:12 ET — Market closed Western Digital Corp shares slipped 1.0% on Monday to close at $179.68, after swinging between $176.70 and $184.77 in choppy year-end trade. StockAnalysis The move matters because Western Digital has been one of 2025’s standout AI infrastructure winners, helped by demand for high-capacity hard drives used in AI data centers. Barron’s said Western Digital is up 303% this year, while rival Seagate has gained 232%.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:04 ET — Market closed Super Micro Computer (SMCI.O) shares fell 1.8% on Monday to close at $30.08 after the server maker disclosed an operations leadership change in a regulatory filing.

Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) stock slides as metals retreat from record highs; Fed minutes next

The copper producer’s stock ended down 2.9% at $51.48. FinancialContent The move matters now because Freeport’s earnings tend to swing with metals prices, and the latest selloff hit after a year-long rally pushed several contracts to record levels. The year-end calendar can amplify price moves as trading liquidity thins and positioning gets reset. Reuters Gold and silver are closely watched as broader sentiment gauges for metals and

Circle stock today: CRCL slips as year-end trading thins and prediction-market bets come into focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 20:41 ET — Market closed Circle Internet Group, Inc. shares ended down about 0.9% at $80.51 on Monday, after trading between $79.00 and $82.96 as volumes thinned in the final week of the year. The move matters because Circle is one of the most visible publicly traded plays on stablecoins — cryptocurrencies designed to hold a steady value, typically pegged to the U.S. dollar — and the stock has become sensitive to shifts in risk appetite and rates.
