BitMine Immersion (BMNR) stock edges up after-hours after $13.2B crypto stash update — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 18:44 ET — After-hours BitMine Immersion Technologies, Inc. shares were up 0.8% in late after-hours trading on Monday at $28.54, after trading between $27.80 and $29.60 during the session.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:43 ET — After-hours Rocket Lab Corp shares fell 0.75% to $70.12 at the regular-session close on Monday, then rose 0.46% to $70.44 in after-hours trading, according to Google Finance data.

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.

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
