Oklo stock slips today after SEC filings show insiders moved 15 million OKLO shares into trusts

Oklo stock slips today after SEC filings show insiders moved 15 million OKLO shares into trusts

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 3:29 PM ET — Regular session Oklo Inc. shares slipped on Wednesday after regulatory filings showed the nuclear startup’s top executives shifted large blocks of stock into family and estate-planning trusts. The disclosures matter because Oklo’s shares have been volatile, and trading has often been sensitive to insider activity and potential dilution at early-stage companies that are still working toward commercial deployment. They also land as investors reassess the pace of U.S. nuclear buildout and the long approval timelines that can make or break project schedules for advanced reactor developers. Oklo shares were down about

DJT stock rises after Trump Media plans Crypto.com token giveaway for shareholders

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:27 ET — Regular session Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) shares rose on Wednesday after the company said it plans to distribute a new digital token to shareholders in partnership with Crypto.com.

Disney stock falls on $10 million YouTube kids-privacy settlement as ‘Zootopia 2’ record fails to lift shares

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:30 ET — Regular session The Walt Disney Company’s shares fell on Wednesday after U.S. authorities said the entertainment group agreed to pay a $10 million civil penalty to resolve allegations tied to children’s privacy rules on YouTube. Reuters The case matters now because regulators have been sharpening their focus on how large media and digital brands handle data tied to children — a sensitive area for a company whose franchises and marketing reach deep into family viewing. Investors have also been quick to discount headlines that raise compliance risk as year-end liquidity thins. Reuters+1

IBM stock slides nearly 2% in year-end session as profit-taking dents Dow

IBM stock slides nearly 2% in year-end session as profit-taking dents Dow

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 3:21 PM ET — Regular session Shares of International Business Machines Corp fell about 1.8% on Wednesday, trading around $296.64 in the afternoon after touching a session low of $295.92. The stock opened near $301.76 and was set for its second straight daily drop as the year winds down. The move matters because the final sessions of the year often bring thinner trading and sharper swings, especially in high-priced Dow components. With many investors sitting on sizable 2025 gains, even routine portfolio tweaks can hit bellwethers like IBM harder than usual. U.S. stocks drifted lower

The stock traded between $151.68 and $152.54, while peer Exxon Mobil fell about 0.6%.

Brent was around $61 a barrel and U.S. WTI near $58, according to Reuters. Reuters Analysts have warned that supply could outstrip demand in 2026, with some forecasting more downside early next year before prices stabilize.

Rigetti (RGTI) stock slides today as year-end profit-taking weighs on quantum shares

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 3:19 PM ET — Regular session. Shares of Rigetti Computing (RGTI.O) were down 1.7% at $22.03 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, as the quantum-computing name tracked a cautious tone in year-end markets. The move comes on the final trading day of 2025, with U.S. markets set to close on Thursday for New Year’s Day and volumes thin in the holiday-shortened week. Reuters That matters now because smaller, high-volatility tech stocks tend to swing more when liquidity is light and investors rebalance portfolios into year-end. “It’s perfectly fine in any bull market to have moments of

Nebius stock dips as insiders flag share sales in SEC filings

Nebius stock dips as insiders flag share sales in SEC filings

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:20 ET — Regular session Nebius Group N.V. shares slipped on Wednesday as investors weighed insider notices to sell stock. The Nasdaq-listed shares were down about 1.9% at $83.59 in afternoon trading. The filings hit during year-end trading, when liquidity is typically thin and moves can be exaggerated. Nebius, a Netherlands-based data center operator, has drawn outsized attention as a “neocloud” provider — a firm that rents out high-end computing power for AI — after landing multi-billion-dollar infrastructure contracts with Microsoft and Meta Platforms. Reuters That backdrop makes insider supply a live issue, even when

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:13 ET — Regular session QUALCOMM Incorporated shares slipped in afternoon trading on Wednesday, underperforming the broader semiconductor group as U.S. stocks edged lower in holiday-thin year-end trading. The final session of the year often brings portfolio rebalancing and profit-taking — selling to lock in gains — which can amplify moves even when there is little company-specific news. Wall Street’s main indexes were slightly lower on the day, with technology shares dipping as traders looked ahead to 2026, Reuters reported.
