IBM stock rises in late trade after Lou Gerstner death, with earnings next on deck

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 3:43 PM ET — Regular session International Business Machines Corp (NYSE: IBM) shares rose about 0.8% to $307.58 in late afternoon trade on Monday, moving between $303.63 and $308.18. “Lou arrived at IBM at a moment when the company’s future was genuinely uncertain,” CEO Arvind Krishna wrote in an email to staff after former CEO Louis Gerstner died at 83. Reuters The move comes in the holiday-shortened final week of 2025, with U.S. markets set to close on Thursday for New Year’s Day. Wall Street’s main indexes were lower in afternoon trade as heavyweight technology

DoorDash stock slips today as tech rally cools; what investors watch next for DASH

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:28 ET — Regular session DoorDash, Inc. shares fell about 1.3% to $230.91 in afternoon trading on Monday after touching a session low of $230.14. At 3:28 p.m. ET, the stock was down $3.04 from its previous close, after earlier hitting $234.98.

DoorDash is closely watched as a read-through on consumer spending and app-based delivery demand, an area where investors have been quick to reward steady volume and punish heavier spending.

Western Digital (WDC) stock slips today as year-end tech pullback tests AI-storage rally

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:23 ET — Regular session Shares of Western Digital Corp fell about 0.8% to $180.15 by mid-afternoon in New York on Monday, trimming gains after an intraday rebound from the session’s low. The dip matters now because Western Digital has been a standout winner in 2025, leaving little room for disappointment as investors head into the new year. Barron’s said the stock is up about 303% in 2025, putting it at the top of the S&P 500’s leaderboard. Barron’s With markets entering the last stretch of the year, moves can look larger than the day’s

Spotify stock slips in late-December trade as tech cools — SPOT investors watch Fed minutes, 2026 pricing

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:46 ET — Regular session Spotify Technology S.A. shares fell about 0.4% to $582.26 in afternoon trading on Monday, down $2.09 from the prior close, according to LSEG data. The stock traded between $577.29 and $586.53. The move matters because markets are in the final stretch of the year, when fewer buyers and sellers — thinner liquidity — can magnify intraday swings. In that backdrop, single-stock moves often follow broad risk sentiment more than company headlines. Wall Street’s main indexes eased as investors took some profits in large-cap tech, and trading volumes were expected to

NBIS stock slides after Nebius CEO files to sell shares as AI trade cools

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:07 ET — Regular session Nebius Group N.V. shares fell on Monday after a filing showed founder and CEO Arkady Volozh intends to sell a small portion of his stake. The timing matters because NBIS has become a high-volatility proxy for investor appetite for AI data-center capacity, and year-end trading can amplify price swings. Google Finance data shows the stock has ranged from about $18 to $141 over the past 52 weeks, with a market value around $21.7 billion. Google The broader AI trade also cooled.

Oklo stock falls today as mini nuclear reactor names slide — what’s driving OKLO now

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:04 ET — Regular session Oklo Inc. shares fell 3.5% to $74.24 in afternoon trading on Monday, underperforming a modestly weaker U.S. market. The stock traded between $73.90 and $78.48, with about 5.4 million shares changing hands. The decline followed a broader pullback in U.S.-listed small modular reactor stocks after a Financial Times column flagged fresh doubts about SMR economics and deployment timelines. Financial Times Small modular reactors, or SMRs, are smaller nuclear units pitched as easier to manufacture and assemble than traditional large plants. The group has become a crowded “AI power” trade as

AI stocks slide today as Nvidia drops after Intel confirms $5 billion stake sale

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:06 ET — Regular session Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks slipped on Monday afternoon, with Nvidia down about 1.7% after Intel said it had completed a $5 billion private share sale to the chip designer. Intel The move matters now because a small group of AI-heavyweights has driven much of the market’s momentum, leaving investors quick to adjust risk when the leaders wobble. Trading has also turned thin in the holiday week, a setup that can exaggerate swings when big funds rebalance portfolios into year-end, Reuters reported. Reuters In a Form 8-K, Intel said it issued

Wall Street slips as Big Tech retreats; SoftBank deal lifts DigitalBridge

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 2:04 PM ET — Regular session Wall Street’s main indexes fell on Monday as heavyweight technology names retreated in the final trading week of the year. The S&P 500 fell about 0.4% and the Nasdaq slid about 0.6%, while the Dow eased about 0.5%. The pullback comes with just a handful of sessions left in 2025, a stretch when managers often adjust positions for year-end reporting and liquidity thins out. Investors were also watching for a so-called “Santa Claus rally,” the seasonal tendency for the S&P 500 to rise in the last five trading days

Dow slides as tech gives back gains into year-end, Fed minutes ahead

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 13:59 ET — Regular session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell on Monday afternoon as investors pared back positions in technology-linked names and banks in the final trading days of 2025. The move matters because year-end rebalancing and lighter holiday liquidity can amplify swings, with U.S. markets set to close on Thursday for New Year’s Day. The pullback also tests hopes for a “Santa Claus rally” — a seasonal stretch when stocks often rise over the last five sessions of the year and the first two of the next — after major indexes pushed toward

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 11:55 ET — Regular session Warby Parker Inc shares fell about 3% on Monday, extending a late-December pullback as U.S. stocks eased from record highs. The eyewear retailer was down 3.1% at $23.43 at 11:55 a.m. ET. The move came as Wall Street opened the final trading week of 2025 on the back foot, with heavyweight technology stocks giving up some of last week’s gains. Consumer discretionary shares were also under pressure, according to Reuters. Reuters That matters now because liquidity is thinning into year-end, which can amplify swings in single names.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 13:26 ET — Regular session Linde shares rose 0.3% to $426.07 in early afternoon trading on Monday, after moving between $423.65 and $427.29 in the session. The industrial gases maker held up even as U.S. stocks dipped from record highs in thin, holiday-shortened trading — a setup that can exaggerate moves in individual names. “It’s a very light trading week ahead; volume is low,” said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research in New York. He pointed to tax-loss harvesting — selling losing positions to offset capital-gains taxes — as one factor that can

Lumentum stock tumbles as year-end tech pullback hits AI optics names

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 12:56 ET — Regular session Shares of Lumentum Holdings fell 4.1% to $374.87 by 12:56 p.m. ET, extending a pullback from last week’s highs. The retreat matters because Lumentum has become a high-beta proxy for investor appetite in AI data-center hardware, after a sharp run that put the stock among the market’s standout gainers this year. Yahoo Finance The broader tape was softer.
