Warby Parker slides as year-end tech pullback cools the “Santa Claus” trade

Warby Parker slides as year-end tech pullback cools the “Santa Claus” trade

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.

Linde stock edges higher as tech retreat drags Wall Street in thin year-end trade

Linde stock edges higher as tech retreat drags Wall Street in thin year-end trade

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

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. The Nasdaq-100 tracker Invesco QQQ was down about 0.8% and the S&P 500 proxy SPDR SPY slipped roughly 0.6%. “This is (not) the beginning of the end of the tech dominance, it’ll

Salesforce stock holds up as year-end tech pullback hits AI bellwethers

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 12:47 ET — Regular session Salesforce shares were little changed in midday trading on Monday, holding near $266 as technology and AI-linked stocks pulled back in the final week of 2025. The muted move in the enterprise-software bellwether comes as investors lock in gains and rebalance portfolios during a holiday-shortened stretch when thin liquidity can amplify market swings. Reuters Traders are watching Federal Reserve meeting minutes and a weekly reading of U.S. jobless claims for clues on 2026 rate expectations, with U.S. markets shut on Thursday for New Year’s Day.

GE Vernova stock slips as jet-engine turbine demand for AI data centers stays in focus

GE Vernova stock slips as jet-engine turbine demand for AI data centers stays in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 12:27 ET — Regular session GE Vernova Inc shares edged lower on Monday as investors weighed a report that data-center developers are increasingly using aircraft-engine-based turbines to secure power faster. The stock was down 0.2% at $662.11 in midday trading. The issue matters now because investors have tied GE Vernova’s valuation to a surge in electricity demand from artificial intelligence-heavy computing. Fresh signs that customers are paying for “bridge” power while they wait for grid hookups can shift expectations for near-term orders, backlog and pricing. A Financial Times report said data centers facing multi-year waits

AAOI stock swings, then slips as investors refocus on 800G ramp

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 11:56 ET — Regular session Applied Optoelectronics shares were down 0.9% at $36.85 in late morning trading on Monday, after swinging between $36.17 and $39.15 as volumes stayed elevated. The reversal kept the spotlight on the fiber-optics supplier after a sharp pullback late last week, when traders began locking in gains following a run to fresh highs.

Why IREN stock is whipsawing today as bitcoin slips and tech rally cools

Why IREN stock is whipsawing today as bitcoin slips and tech rally cools

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 12:27 ET — Regular session IREN Ltd (IREN.O) shares swung sharply on Monday and were last down 0.5% at $40.08 in midday New York trading. The stock has ranged from $38.55 to $42.25 so far in the session. The whipsaw highlights how tightly the Nasdaq-listed name trades with risk appetite in the final week of the year, when holiday-thinned volumes can amplify moves. It also reflects IREN’s dual exposure to two volatile themes: bitcoin mining and the build-out of data centers for artificial intelligence workloads. That combination can make the stock sensitive to both crypto

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 12:16 ET — Regular session Cisco Systems (CSCO.O) shares fell 0.6% to $77.71 in late-morning trading on Monday. The stock was down about 46 cents from its prior close. The move came as U.S. stocks eased from recent highs to start the final three sessions of 2025, with heavyweight technology and artificial intelligence (AI) names giving back some of last week’s gains.

Sandisk stock slides 4% as weekend rating trim dents year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:44 ET — Regular session Key points Sandisk Corp shares fell 4.3% to $239.37 on Monday, after swinging between $236.64 and $249.84 in early trading. The drop matters because Sandisk has been one of 2025’s standout gainers, leaving the stock more sensitive to shifts in sentiment and analyst calls into year-end. Kiplinger listed Sandisk as the S&P 500’s top performer for 2025, with a roughly sixfold rise.

Amazon slips as Italy drone-delivery pullback lands in year-end tech cool-off

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 09:56 ET — Regular session Amazon.com shares were down about 0.3% at $231.91 in morning trading on Monday after the company said it would stop pursuing commercial drone deliveries in Italy. Reuters The move matters because Amazon’s drone effort is aimed at speeding up the “last mile” — the final leg of delivery to a customer’s door — and cutting logistics costs over time. A retreat from Italy underscores how regulatory hurdles can slow that rollout. Reuters It also comes as big technology stocks, which helped power the market’s 2025 advance, gave back ground at

Intel shares were slightly higher. Reuters The pullback matters because big tech and chip stocks have done much of the heavy lifting for U.S. equities in 2025, leaving the market sensitive to moves in a handful of AI bellwethers.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:23 ET — Regular session U.S. stocks edged lower on Monday as heavyweight technology shares retreated, opening a holiday-shortened week with caution. At 9:35 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI) fell 66.86 points, or 0.14%, to 48,645.62.
