Tesla stock today: TSLA slides as supplier slashes a $2.9 billion battery deal to $7,386

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 02:35 ET — Market closed Tesla shares fell 3.3% to $459.64 in Monday’s regular session. South Korean battery-materials maker L&F said the value of its 2023 deal to supply Tesla and its affiliates with high-nickel cathode materials — a key ingredient in a battery’s positive electrode — from January 2024 through December 2025 has shrunk to $7,386 from an earlier projection of $2.9 billion. Sources and analysts linked the deal to Tesla’s in-house 4680 cells, and Samsung Securities analyst Cho Hyun-ryul said weaker electric-vehicle (EV) demand and production-yield issues — how many usable cells come

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 01:45 ET — Market closed CNOOC Limited shares climbed 4.36% to HK$21.54 in Hong Kong on Tuesday, from a previous close of HK$20.64, as oil prices steadied after a sharp prior-session rise.

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.
