Semiconductor Stocks Today: Nvidia Rebounds, Micron and Chip Equipment Rally, While Broadcom and Arm Lag on Fresh Analyst Calls (Dec. 15, 2025)

U.S.-listed semiconductor stocks are trying to steady themselves in late-morning trading on Monday, December 15, 2025, after last week’s AI-driven shakeout rattled the “chip trade.” By around 11:30 a.m. ET, the group is splitting into clear winners and losers: AI accelerators and memory names are back in favor, semiconductor equipment makers are surging on upbeat 2026–2027 demand forecasts, and several “old-economy” chip exposures—analog and smartphones—are under pressure following high-profile downgrades. Reuters+1 Semiconductor market snapshot at 11:30 a.m. ET Semiconductor ETFs are modestly higher, signaling stabilization rather than a full-throttle rebound.

Late morning on Monday, December 15, 2025 (around 11:30 a.m. ET), “AI stocks” are once again doing what they’ve done all year: pulling the broader market narrative toward big, fast-moving bets on compute, data centers, and monetization—and then snapping back when investors start asking the same hard question: Where are the profits relative to the spending? After last week’s sharp shakeout in AI-linked names, U.S. traders started this new week with a cautious rebound in mega-cap tech, while several AI bellwethers remained volatile amid a heavy calendar of economic reports and fresh analyst forecasts for 2026.

Elon Musk Net Worth in 2025: Bloomberg Estimates $470 Billion as Tesla Robotaxi News and SpaceX IPO Talk Fuel Fresh Forecasts

Elon Musk’s net worth has once again become a daily headline—not because his paycheck changed, but because the market values of his companies did. As of December 15, 2025 (12:02 a.m. UTC), the Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimates Musk’s net worth at about $470 billion, with Tesla listed as his biggest asset. Bloomberg That figure is not a bank balance. It’s an estimate of the value of Musk’s stakes—mostly in Tesla, SpaceX, and his AI-and-social portfolio—minus liabilities, updated as stock prices move and private-company valuations get refreshed. Bloomberg explicitly describes its index as dynamic, updating figures every business day after U.S. trading closes, using the latest closing prices

Rheinmetall Aktie Today (15 December 2025): Share Price Slides on Berlin Peace Talks, Despite Tank Megaproject Approval and Bullish Analyst Targets

Rheinmetall Aktie (Rheinmetall AG shares) traded lower on Monday, 15 December 2025, as markets digested fresh developments around high-level Ukraine talks in Berlin—headlines that have recently been enough to move Europe’s defence stocks even when company fundamentals remain strong. By late morning/early afternoon trading, Rheinmetall shares were down roughly 2–3%, with Reuters reporting a 2.8% drop as defence names broadly slipped. Reuters The pullback came despite a notable piece of supportive news for Rheinmetall’s longer-term land-systems pipeline: Germany’s competition authority, the Bundeskartellamt, has approved an expansion of a Rheinmetall-KNDS joint venture framework to support a future Bundeswehr main battle tank project—an “interim solution” designed to bridge capability needs
