JPMorgan stock falls in after-hours as year-end selloff hits bank shares

JPMorgan stock falls in after-hours as year-end selloff hits bank shares

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:35 ET — After-hours JPMorgan Chase & Co. shares slid 1.3% on Monday and were last at $323.75 in after-hours trading. The decline matters because big banks are tightly linked to the direction of interest rates. When yields fall, investors often assume lending margins and some trading activity will cool, pressuring expectations for bank earnings. The timing also coincides with thin, holiday-shortened trading, when positioning around quarter- and year-end can amplify moves. That backdrop has pushed investors to focus on both rates and short-term liquidity conditions. U.S. stocks ended lower, with Treasury yields easing as
Coinbase stock slips after-hours as Needham cuts target on weak crypto volumes

Coinbase stock slips after-hours as Needham cuts target on weak crypto volumes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 5:36 PM ET — After-hours Coinbase Global shares fell about 1.3% to $233.77 in late after-hours trading on Monday after Needham cut its price target on the crypto exchange to $290 from $400. “Retail volumes typically remain muted until momentum returns,” Needham analyst John Todaro wrote. TipRanks The call matters because Coinbase’s results are closely tied to how actively customers trade crypto. The company runs a platform for retail and institutional clients and sells both transaction products and subscription-and-services offerings, making trading activity a key swing factor for revenue from quarter to quarter.

Netflix stock slips after hours as tech cools into year-end; Warner deal, earnings in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 4:49 PM ET — After-hours Netflix, Inc. shares slipped in after-hours trading on Monday, down 0.3% at $94.15. The muted move comes as investors head into the final sessions of the year with Netflix’s proposed Warner Bros Discovery transaction still dominating the company’s near-term narrative. Reuters That matters now because year-end trading can be thin, and deal headlines or financing updates can move merger-linked stocks quickly even when the broader tape is quiet. Reuters+1 Netflix agreed in early December to buy Warner Bros Discovery’s TV and film studios and streaming division for $72 billion. Under

Oracle stock falls in late trade after SEC filing shows planned sale by executive (ORCL)

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:43 ET — After-hours Oracle shares fell 1.3% in after-hours trading on Monday to $195.38, after an SEC filing showed an Oracle executive filed to sell a block of shares. SEC+1 The disclosure matters because trading has been thin into year-end, when incremental flows can push large-cap software names around. It also keeps attention on insider activity at a time when investors are debating how quickly Oracle’s cloud growth will translate into cash generation. Oracle has positioned its cloud business as a supplier of computing capacity for artificial intelligence workloads, but that push requires heavy

Natural gas price jumps after EIA storage draw; UNG and BOIL climb in late stock trading

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 5:17 PM ET — After-hours U.S. natural gas-linked funds rose in after-hours stock trading on Monday, tracking a firming in natural gas prices after a colder weather outlook and a government report showing a sizable storage withdrawal. Hellenic Shipping News+1 Why it matters now: winter gas trading is dominated by weather-driven demand and storage swings, and both can move quickly when forecasts change. Investors in gas ETFs and gas-heavy producers are watching whether early-season withdrawals keep inventories tight. EIA Information Releases+1 The latest price action is also being shaped by liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports,

Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq slip as Tesla, Nvidia retreat; SoftBank deal lifts DigitalBridge

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 4:59 PM ET — After-hours Wall Street closed lower on Monday as heavyweight technology shares retreated in the final week of 2025, taking some air out of last week’s push to record highs. The late-December wobble matters because many investors are managing year-end risk and rebalancing portfolios after a strong run. With fewer traders at their desks, small order flows can move prices more than usual. The bigger question for markets is whether the momentum behind 2025’s rally can carry into the first sessions of 2026, or whether profit-taking and crowded positioning will keep volatility

Dow Jones today: Tech pullback knocks the Dow down 249 points as Fed minutes loom

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:51 ET — After-hours Wall Street’s main indexes ended lower on Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average sliding 249.04 points, or 0.51%, to 48,461.93 as tech shares cooled after last week’s run-up. The S&P 500 fell 0.35% to 6,905.74 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.50% to 23,474.35. Reuters The timing matters because the market is heading into the final stretch of the year near record levels, when positioning and thin liquidity can magnify swings. Traders have also been watching whether a late-December “Santa Claus rally” — the seasonal tendency for stocks to rise into
GOOG stock ends lower as year-end tech trade cools — what Alphabet investors watch next

GOOG stock ends lower as year-end tech trade cools — what Alphabet investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:41 ET — After-hours Alphabet Inc’s Class C (non-voting) shares (GOOG.O) ended the regular session down 0.4% on Monday and were little changed after the bell as heavyweight technology stocks pulled back in thin year-end trading. In after-hours trading — electronic trading after the 4 p.m. close — GOOG traded around $314.4. Yahoo Finance The drift lower matters now because Alphabet has been a key beneficiary of the 2025 run in large-cap technology, leaving investors sensitive to any pause in the sector as December liquidity thins. Alphabet is up roughly two-thirds in 2025, according to

Microsoft stock edges lower after the bell as year-end trade cools tech; MSFT investors eye Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:35 ET — After-hours Microsoft Corp shares ended Monday down about 0.1% at $487.11, after trading between $484.18 and $488.35 in the regular session. The stock was down about 0.1% in after-hours trading, the period after the 4 p.m. ET market close. StockAnalysis The muted move matters because Microsoft is one of the biggest weights in U.S. equity indexes, and late-December liquidity is thin as 2025 winds down. In that backdrop, small shifts in mega-cap technology can sway benchmarks and amplify day-to-day moves. U.S. stocks slipped broadly on Monday, with the S&P 500 down 0.3%

Apple Stock Steadies After Hours as Year-End Trading Turns Choppy; Fed Minutes Next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:14 ET — After-hours Apple Inc shares were up about 0.1% in after-hours trading at $273.74 on Monday, after slipping 0.15% in the regular session. The move matters because Apple is a heavyweight in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, so even a small swing can move index performance and risk sentiment when liquidity is thin. That matters more in the final week of the year, with U.S. markets closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day and few major corporate catalysts on the calendar. Investopedia U.S. stocks finished lower on Monday, with the S&P 500 down
Palantir stock slides after hours as tech cools into year-end; PLTR down 2.4%

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:24 ET — After-hours Palantir Technologies Inc (PLTR) shares fell $4.51, or 2.4%, to $184.20 in after-hours trading on Monday. The stock traded between $183.67 and $188.01 in the regular session, with about 26.4 million shares changing hands. The slide matters because Palantir has been one of 2025’s standout gainers, and year-end trading often magnifies profit-taking in high-flyers. The stock is up about 145% so far this year, according to Yahoo Finance. Yahoo Finance The broader tape turned softer into the final week of the year, with the S&P 500 down 0.34%, the Nasdaq off
