Amazon stock slips in year-end trade as Evercore flags AMZN for 2026—what’s next

Amazon stock slips in year-end trade as Evercore flags AMZN for 2026—what’s next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 12:10 ET — Regular session Amazon.com, Inc. shares dipped on Wednesday, down about 0.5% at $231.44 in midday trading. The muted move matters now because year-end trading typically brings lighter liquidity, making single-stock moves more sensitive to positioning than to fresh fundamentals. The broader tape stayed cautious on the final U.S. trading day of 2025, with major indexes edging lower in holiday-thinned volumes and U.S. markets set to close on Thursday for New Year’s Day. Reuters On the catalyst front, Evercore ISI analyst Mark Mahaney called Amazon his “top pick” for 2026 in a client

Apple stock slips in year-end trading as tech drags; what investors watch next

Apple stock slips in year-end trading as tech drags; what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 12:07 ET — Regular session Apple shares dipped on Wednesday as investors continued to trim exposure to large technology names into the end of the year. The iPhone maker’s stock was down 0.2% at $272.63, after trading between $271.78 and $273.58. The move mattered because Apple’s enormous weighting in major indexes often makes it a bellwether for shifts in risk appetite on quiet days, when small flows can move prices more than usual. U.S. stocks were modestly lower in holiday-thin trading, extending a late-December drift that has undercut expectations for a “Santa Claus rally,” a

Broadcom stock slips today as insider sale filings hit tape in thin year-end trade

Broadcom stock slips today as insider sale filings hit tape in thin year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 12:12 ET — Regular session Broadcom Inc. shares slipped in midday trading on Wednesday, down 0.7% at $347.36. The stock touched a session low of $345.43 as the final U.S. trading session of 2025 stayed choppy. The pullback matters because the semiconductor group is heading into 2026 with investors split on how much AI-driven spending can keep offsetting margin pressure from custom chips. Broadcom is a bellwether for that trade because it sells both AI-related silicon and enterprise software through VMware. Year-end trading can magnify small moves, and insider transactions draw extra attention in thin

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 11:55 ET — Regular session Tesla shares were down about 0.2% at $453.58 in late morning trading on Wednesday, extending a muted move as investors focused on near-term demand signals into year-end. The stock traded between $452.42 and $458.39 in the session. The market’s attention is on Tesla’s fourth-quarter and full-year production and delivery report due Friday, a closely watched update that investors use as an early read on demand before earnings.

The stock has ranged from $213.61 to $217.54 so far in the session. The move comes with investors squaring year-end positions and looking ahead to near-term catalysts in early January, including AMD’s scheduled appearance at the CES tech show in Las Vegas.

Nvidia stock ticks higher after China H200 supply report; NVDA eyes CES, earnings

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 11:52 ET — Regular session. Nvidia shares edged higher on Wednesday after a report said the company has approached Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co to ramp production of its H200 chips for Chinese customers. The stock was up 0.7% at $188.82 in late-morning New York trading. Reuters The development matters because Nvidia’s data-center products sit at the center of the AI spending boom, and any change in China access can swing expectations for demand and supply. The H200 is a graphics processing unit, or GPU — a specialized chip used to train and run AI models.

Meta stock today: META slips after Reuters scam-ad “playbook” report as Manus AI deal stays in focus

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 11:57 ET — Regular session Meta Platforms shares dipped on Wednesday after a Reuters investigation said internal documents showed the Facebook and Instagram owner developed a “global playbook” to fend off pressure to crack down on scammers and delay tougher checks on advertisers. Meta was down 0.4% at $663 by 11:57 a.m. ET, after closing at $665.95 on Tuesday. The documents said Meta estimated universal advertiser verification — an identity check before ads run — could cost about $2 billion to implement and reduce revenue by up to 4.8%, while Google has said it has

Microsoft stock slips in late-morning trade as year-end tech selling weighs on megacaps

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 11:52 ET — Regular session Microsoft (MSFT) shares fell 0.5% to $484.89 in late morning trading on Wednesday, after opening at $487.55. The stock has traded between $484.35 and $488.30, valuing the software maker at about $3.85 trillion. The dip matters now because Microsoft is one of the heaviest weights in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, and year-end positioning can sway index performance. Wall Street’s major indexes slipped in holiday-thin trading, extending a late-December tech wobble that has tested the usual “Santa Claus rally” — a seasonal pattern that often sees stocks rise in the

Micron stock slips today as China’s CXMT targets $4.2 billion DRAM IPO

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 12:00 ET — Regular session Micron Technology, Inc. shares were down about 1.8% at $287.35 in late-morning New York trading on Wednesday. The stock has ranged from $284.45 to $293.91 so far in the session, with about 9.2 million shares traded. The move matters now because Micron has become a high-sensitivity bet on memory pricing, where profits can swing quickly when supply or demand shifts. After a sharp run this year, investors have shown less tolerance for headlines that hint at fresh capacity. Micron has been among the strongest S&P 500 performers in 2025, with

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 23:23 ET — Market closed Newmont Corporation shares closed up 2.1% at $101.86 on Tuesday, snapping back as gold prices recovered from a sharp early-week slide. The stock traded between $100.31 and $102.70 during the session. The rebound came after the CME said new performance bond (margin) requirements for metals futures would take effect after the close of business on Dec. 29 — a change that can force leveraged traders to cut positions.

The move matters because Constellation has become a key proxy for bets that electricity demand from artificial intelligence data centers will keep tightening U.S. power markets, lifting the value of steady, around-the-clock generation such as nuclear.
