AMD stock today: Shares tick higher after hours as year-end tech selling weighs on chipmakers

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 4:25 PM ET — After-hours Shares of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.O) rose 0.3% to $215.62 in after-hours trading on Monday, holding a small gain from the regular session. The stock finished up 0.28% at $215.58. Investing.com The move comes with U.S. markets down to three sessions left in 2025, a stretch when thin liquidity can exaggerate swings in heavily owned technology and semiconductor names. Reuters U.S. stocks eased from record highs, with the Dow down 0.38%, the S&P 500 off 0.32% and the Nasdaq down 0.53%, a Reuters report showed. “In light volume trading, we’re

Micron stock closes up 3% as DRAM prices tick higher — why MU is moving today

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 4:09 PM ET — After-hours Micron Technology (MU) shares rose 3.4% on Monday to end at $294.40, rebounding from an early slide and finishing near the session high. The stock traded between $278.51 and $294.45 on volume of about 25.6 million shares, market data showed. The move matters because Micron sits in a pricing-driven corner of semiconductors, where small shifts in memory prices can flow quickly through earnings. Investors have been watching for signs that supply remains tight as AI-related demand pulls capacity toward higher-end products. A key focus is high-bandwidth memory, or HBM —

Nvidia Stock Slips After Intel Confirms $5 Billion Share Sale to NVDA — What Traders Watch Next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:08 ET — After-hours Nvidia Corporation shares slipped on Monday after Intel confirmed it completed a $5 billion private stock sale to the AI chip designer, formalizing a minority stake first announced in September. Nvidia was last down 1.3% at $188.01 in late regular trading, while Intel rose 1.3% and Advanced Micro Devices was little changed.

Tesla stock drops after supplier slashes $2.9 billion battery deal to $7,386

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:13 ET — After-hours Tesla Inc (TSLA) shares were down 3.3% at $459.51 late in Monday’s regular session after South Korea’s L&F said the value of its battery-material supply deal with Tesla had shrunk to $7,386 from an earlier projection of $2.9 billion. “There is anxiety about the battery sector overall,” said Cho Hyun-ryul, a senior analyst at Samsung Securities. Reuters The supplier disclosure matters because Tesla is closing out the year with investors demanding proof points on the parts of its story that sit outside core vehicle sales. Small shifts in demand signals can

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 4:11 PM ET — After-hours Meta Platforms shares ended Monday’s regular session down 0.5% at $659.88, after swinging between $654.40 and $660.19. Volume was about 6.1 million shares, roughly in line with recent daily trading. Investing.com The Facebook-owner’s dip tracked a broader pullback from record highs as 2025 winds down, with investors paring exposure to heavyweight growth names after last week’s rally. U.S. stocks edged lower, with the Nasdaq Composite off 0.5% and the S&P 500 down 0.3% by the close. “The broader market is looking at the strength of last week and selling off

Broadcom stock slips into after-hours as year-end tech pullback bites

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 4:05 ET — After-hours Broadcom Inc. (AVGO) shares fell on Monday as profit-taking hit chip stocks in the final week of the year, ending regular trading down 0.8% at $349.39. Yahoo Finance The stock traded between $344.69 and $350.33 during the session, hovering near the psychologically important $350 level heading into after-hours. Yahoo Finance The dip matters now because Broadcom remains a heavily owned AI-infrastructure name, and price swings tend to amplify into year-end when liquidity is thinner and portfolio managers rebalance. Reuters It also comes as the tech trade shows signs of fatigue after

SMCI stock slips near $30 as Nvidia cools in year-end trade; what to watch

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:46 ET — Regular session Super Micro Computer shares fell about 1.1% to $30.29 in late afternoon trading on Monday, after swinging between $29.82 and $31.12 earlier in the session. The move matters now because year-end positioning is thinning liquidity and magnifying day-to-day swings in high-volatility tech names. Supermicro is treated as a proxy for spending on data-center builds, particularly systems that bundle advanced graphics chips into full server racks. With only a few sessions left in 2025, risk appetite has started to look more selective across AI suppliers. U.S. stocks dipped in light, holiday-shortened

Synopsys stock today rises as tech slips, Dec. 30 lawsuit deadline nears

SPY was down about 0.3%, while QQQ fell 0.4% and the semiconductor-focused SOXX slipped 0.3%. Fresh legal headlines also put Synopsys back on some traders’ screens. Plaintiff law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld said in a notice that investors have until Dec. 30 to ask the court to appoint a lead plaintiff in a

MongoDB stock slides as “MongoBleed” exploitation warning puts database security in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:18 ET — Regular session MongoDB Inc (MDB) shares were down about 2.2% at $426.35 in afternoon trading on Monday, after swinging between $421.11 and $435.80 earlier in the session. The decline put a spotlight on a cyber risk that can matter quickly for database providers: patching cadence. When a vulnerability can be exploited without a login, security teams often move to lock down internet exposure before they do anything else. That urgency can ripple into spending decisions. Enterprises running self-managed databases may delay rollouts or add controls, while vendors face questions about whether cloud-managed

MercadoLibre stock today: MELI edges higher as year-end trading stays thin

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:28 ET — Regular session. MercadoLibre, Inc. shares were up 0.4% at $2,014.52 on Monday afternoon, after trading as high as $2,037.13 and as low as $1,986.98. The Latin American e-commerce and payments bellwether is heading into the final three sessions of 2025, a stretch when lighter liquidity can make small moves look bigger than they are. That timing matters because investors often use liquid growth stocks to fine-tune exposure before year-end rebalancing, even when there is little fresh company-specific news. U.S. Treasury yields — the interest rates paid on government debt — eased and
