Reddit stock pops nearly 4% as Needham spotlights AI-search citations

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 01:35 ET — Market closed Reddit, Inc. shares closed up 3.9% on Monday, outpacing a softer U.S. market as traders leaned into fresh analyst commentary linking the company to the rise of AI-powered search. The stock ended at $234.65 after trading between $223.91 and $236.00. Investing.com The move followed a Needham note arguing that as users shift from clicking links to reading AI-generated answers, the winners will be the sources those answers cite. “As overall referral traffic shrinks, the platforms that AI-Answers cite (like Reddit) become increasingly valuable,” Needham analyst Laura Martin said, according to

Energy Fuels stock rises on guidance-beat uranium output and new contracts — what’s next for UUUU

Energy Fuels stock rises on guidance-beat uranium output and new contracts — what’s next for UUUU

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 01:48 ET — Market closed. Energy Fuels Inc shares rose nearly 3% in Monday trading after the U.S.-listed uranium and rare earths producer said it exceeded 2025 uranium production and sales guidance and added new long-term supply contracts. The update matters because investors have been treating domestic uranium and “critical minerals” as strategic supply-chain assets, a theme that has pulled small- and mid-cap miners into the spotlight late in the year. A Reuters metals column on Monday noted the U.S. Geological Survey’s updated critical-minerals list now encompasses 60 materials, highlighting how broadly policymakers are defining

Fannie Mae stock (FNMA) slides 4% into year-end as housing data and Fed minutes loom

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 01:40 ET — Market closed Fannie Mae shares sank on Monday, closing down 4.1% at $10.33 in over-the-counter trading, after touching $10.55 at the high and $10.08 at the low. Volume was about 3.0 million shares. Investing.com The stock’s swings matter because Fannie Mae sits at the center of the U.S. mortgage machine. It buys home loans from lenders and guarantees mortgage-backed securities, so investor focus tends to snap to mortgage rates and the health of housing demand. With the year ending, that focus is sharpening. Fresh housing-price data and the Federal Reserve’s latest meeting

Serve Robotics stock drops 3% then ticks higher after hours as year-end trading thins

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 01:22 ET — Market closed. Serve Robotics shares fell 3.25% on Monday to close at $9.81, then rose about 2% in after-hours trade. MarketWatch The late-year backdrop matters for small-cap stocks like Serve, where lighter liquidity can exaggerate day-to-day moves. With fewer buyers and sellers around, even routine flows can push prices more than usual. MarketScreener “It’s a very light trading week ahead; volume is low,” said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research, pointing to tax-loss harvesting — selling losing positions to offset capital gains for tax purposes.

The stock was last up about 2% at $2.02 in late after-hours trading, with about 5.7 million shares changing hands.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 01:23 ET — Market closed Lululemon Athletica Inc (LULU) shares closed up 1.7% on Monday at $212.54 after the company said founder Chip Wilson submitted nominations for three director candidates in a move that could trigger a proxy fight. Yahoo Finance+1 The board challenge lands in the middle of a leadership handoff.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 00:50 ET — Market closed Baidu, Inc.’s U.S.-listed shares closed up 1.6% at $126.81 on Monday. A U.S. securities filing showed Baidu officer Wang Haifeng proposed selling 50,000 American depositary shares (ADS), worth about $6.24 million, after a same-day cashless option exercise and restricted-share vesting under company incentive plans.

Energy Transfer stock today: ET edges up as oil jumps, with pipeline risks and earnings in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 01:09 ET — Market closed Energy Transfer LP’s units closed up 0.12% at $16.27 on Monday, after trading between $16.24 and $16.34. Volume was about 11.8 million units. The modest move matters because Energy Transfer sits in the midstream pipeline group, where investors focus on cash payouts and steady fee revenue rather than big swings in commodity prices. Midstream operators are sometimes described as “toll roads” for oil and gas: they earn fees to move and store fuel. That can cushion earnings when oil and gas prices whip around, but the units still trade with

Hindustan Times+1 The timing matters because PAN — a tax identification number used widely across India’s financial system — is needed for filing income-tax returns and for many banking and investment transactions.
