PepsiCo stock today: PEP edges up as Wall Street slips in thin year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:45 ET — Market closed PepsiCo shares ended up 0.3% at $144.24 on Monday, bucking a weaker U.S. market as investors moved toward defensive names into the final week of the year. U.S. stocks finished lower in a holiday-shortened week, with the S&P 500 down 0.35% and the Nasdaq off 0.50% as a broad selloff in risk assets weighed on the tape. “In light volume trading, we’re seeing a reversal of what we saw over the last couple of days,” said Rob Haworth, senior investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management.

Eaton stock today: ETN slips as Wall Street cools in year-end trade — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:46 ET — Market closed Eaton Corporation plc shares closed down 0.22% at $321.45 on Monday, tracking a broader pullback on Wall Street as investors started the final week of 2025 with lighter risk appetite. Investing.com+1 The move matters now because trading volumes typically thin out into the year-end, making day-to-day swings more sensitive to broad index moves and positioning. Eaton, a large industrial seen as a beneficiary of electrification and data center buildouts, often trades as a proxy for that theme when there is little company-specific news.

Target stock drops after activist buzz fades; Fed minutes set the next test for TGT

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:25 ET — Market closed Target Corporation (TGT) shares fell 1.4% on Monday to $98.10, after trading between $97.72 and $100.20 in a muted year-end session. About 8.8 million shares changed hands. The pullback matters because investors are recalibrating expectations around what, if anything, could force a faster turnaround at the big-box retailer as 2026 approaches. A late-week report has kept the stock in focus.

AT&T stock ends higher as Wall Street slips into year-end; traders eye Jan. 28 earnings

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:32 ET — Market closed AT&T Inc. shares ended Monday up 0.5% at $24.77, a modest gain that stood out as Wall Street’s major indexes finished lower to start the final trading week of the year. FinancialContent The move matters because markets are entering a holiday-shortened stretch with thinner liquidity, a setup that can amplify sector rotations and late-year positioning. For AT&T, the calendar adds pressure of its own: investors are already looking toward the company’s Jan. 28 earnings report for a read on wireless and fiber momentum and on cash generation that supports dividends

Reuters The chip-design software maker is closely watched because its electronic design automation (EDA) tools—software used to design and test chips—sit early in the semiconductor supply chain and tend to reflect demand for next-generation computing.

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

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.
