Analog Devices stock drifts into year-end as Fed minutes loom

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 00:40 ET — Market closed Analog Devices shares closed down 0.3% at $276.84 in the most recent session, as investors headed into a holiday-shortened week with the Federal Reserve’s December meeting minutes due Tuesday.

Zeta Global’s 8% jump puts the $20 level in focus as options activity spikes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 12:16 ET — Market closed Zeta Global Holdings Corp shares last ended Friday up 8.3% at $20.70, marking a sharp move above the $20 threshold as markets head into the final sessions of the year.
