U.S. stock futures are mixed in a quiet, shortened Christmas Eve session following a record-high close for the S&P 500 on Tuesday. Trading volumes are expected to be light ahead of the holiday with no major economic data scheduled for release.

Stocks to Watch

  • Tesla, Inc. shares rose 1.6% after the Delaware Supreme Court restored CEO Elon Musk's 2028 pay package, influencing investor sentiment.
  • Novo Nordisk A/S surged 7.3% as the FDA approved its Wegovy weight-loss pill, signaling significant market expansion for the drug.
  • ServiceNow, Inc. fell 2.5% after acquiring cybersecurity firm Armis for $7.75 billion, raising questions about integration and financial impact.

Looking ahead, traders will be monitoring market direction amidst historically thin holiday volume, with the session closing early at 1 PM ET.
