NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:55 ET — Regular session Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI) shares were down about 1.7% at $29.16 by 2:55 p.m. ET on Wednesday, after trading between $29.12 and $29.86 on about 15.4 million shares.

PayPal stock (PYPL) slips on last trading day of 2025 — what traders watch next

PayPal stock (PYPL) slips on last trading day of 2025 — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:36 ET — Regular session PayPal Holdings (PYPL.O) shares were down 0.5% at $58.83 on Wednesday afternoon, tracking a modest dip in U.S. equities as investors positioned for year-end. The move matters because payments stocks tend to be sensitive to shifts in the economic outlook. Transaction volumes are closely tied to consumer spending, and valuations can swing with interest-rate expectations. Wednesday’s session also came with lighter liquidity ahead of the New Year’s Day holiday, making routine flows look bigger in price action. Reuters U.S. labor-market data provided the main macro headline of the day. Initial

Santa Claus Rally Fizzles: S&P 500, Dow Slip as Tech Weighs on 2025 Finale

Santa Claus Rally Fizzles: S&P 500, Dow Slip as Tech Weighs on 2025 Finale

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:55 ET Wall Street’s main indexes inched lower in the final trading session of 2025, pressured by technology shares, but remained on track to finish the year with solid gains. The late-year dip matters because it comes after a volatile year shaped by tariff uncertainty from President Donald Trump and a powerful run in artificial intelligence, or AI, stocks that pushed major indexes to record highs. It also puts a spotlight on the market’s failure to deliver a “Santa Claus rally” — the seasonal pattern when the S&P 500 often rises over the last five

Dow Jones slips in thin New Year’s Eve trade as Apple, Microsoft weigh; jobless claims surprise

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:26 ET — Regular session The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped on Wednesday, extending a late-December pullback as tech heavyweights weighed in thin New Year’s Eve trade. At 12:00 p.m. ET, the Dow fell 116.75 points, or 0.24%, to 48,243.94. Reuters The dip matters now because it comes in the final hours of 2025, when year-end rebalancing and lighter liquidity can magnify moves in headline indexes. U.S. stock markets are open for normal hours on Dec. 31 but shut on Jan. 1 for New Year’s Day, before reopening on Jan. 2. MarketWatch The Dow can

Apple stock slips in year-end trading as tech drags; what investors watch next

Apple stock slips in year-end trading as tech drags; what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 12:07 ET — Regular session Apple shares dipped on Wednesday as investors continued to trim exposure to large technology names into the end of the year. The iPhone maker’s stock was down 0.2% at $272.63, after trading between $271.78 and $273.58. The move mattered because Apple’s enormous weighting in major indexes often makes it a bellwether for shifts in risk appetite on quiet days, when small flows can move prices more than usual. U.S. stocks were modestly lower in holiday-thin trading, extending a late-December drift that has undercut expectations for a “Santa Claus rally,” a

Microsoft stock slips in late-morning trade as year-end tech selling weighs on megacaps

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 11:52 ET — Regular session Microsoft (MSFT) shares fell 0.5% to $484.89 in late morning trading on Wednesday, after opening at $487.55. The stock has traded between $484.35 and $488.30, valuing the software maker at about $3.85 trillion. The dip matters now because Microsoft is one of the heaviest weights in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, and year-end positioning can sway index performance. Wall Street’s major indexes slipped in holiday-thin trading, extending a late-December tech wobble that has tested the usual “Santa Claus rally” — a seasonal pattern that often sees stocks rise in the

BigBear.ai stock slides in premarket after company delays key vote to double authorized shares (BBAI)

BigBear.ai stock slides in premarket after company delays key vote to double authorized shares (BBAI)

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 07:29 ET — Premarket Shares of BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (BBAI) fell 3.2% to $5.50 in premarket trading on Wednesday after the company delayed a shareholder vote on a proposal to double its authorized common stock. The vote would raise the ceiling on how many shares BigBear.ai can issue from 500 million to 1 billion. It does not put new stock into the market by itself, but it gives the board flexibility to sell shares, do stock-based deals or pay employees with equity. That flexibility is in focus because BigBear.ai told investors it is running short

D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) stock today: what’s moving shares in early premarket trade

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 07:41 ET — Premarket. Shares of D-Wave Quantum Inc were little changed in premarket trading on Wednesday, holding around $26.25. Other U.S.-listed quantum names were mixed, with IonQ and Rigetti Computing edging higher while Quantum Computing Inc slipped. The quiet start comes after a year of sharp swings for the stock, which is up about 213% year-to-date even after pulling back from a 52-week high of $46.75. About 12% of D-Wave’s free float is sold short — a measure of bearish positioning that can amplify moves when the stock runs. Finviz Why it matters now

Datavault AI (DVLT) stock today: shares slide in premarket as warrant-dividend plan sharpens focus on Jan. 7 record date

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 06:07 ET — Premarket Shares of Datavault AI Inc were down about 20% in early premarket trading on Wednesday, last at about $0.52. The decline comes as investors weigh a cluster of late-December corporate updates that combine traditional equity mechanics with digital-asset distribution steps, all with a near-term shareholder record date. That matters because these structures can create uncertainty around who qualifies, what brokerage holders must do to participate, and how much potential dilution sits behind the stock. Datavault said it intends to declare a special dividend of warrants to holders of common stock and

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:02 ET — Market closed. CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (CRWD) shares closed down about 0.1% at $475.63 on Tuesday after a filing showed the cybersecurity firm approved a new performance-based equity award for Chief Executive George Kurtz. The award is for a target 300,000 performance stock units — stock grants that vest only if targets are met — and can pay out between zero and 600,000 shares based on CrowdStrike’s three-year total shareholder return, or stock gains including dividends, versus S&P 500 constituents.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:06 ET — Market closed Palo Alto Networks shares finished flat on Tuesday after regulatory filings showed stock sales by two top executives, in muted year-end trading. SEC+1 The disclosures matter now because thin holiday liquidity can amplify reactions to company-specific signals, even when the transactions are routine. Investors also head into the final sessions of the year looking for clues on 2026 demand across cybersecurity budgets. The trades were reported in Form 4 filings, the SEC document insiders must file to disclose changes in their holdings. Both executives said the sales were made under

The stock traded between $375.10 and $384.90, with volume of about 1.5 million shares.
