ASML Stock (NASDAQ: ASML) Weekend Briefing: AI-Driven Demand, China Risk, and What to Watch Before Monday’s Open

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:24 a.m. ET — Market closed (U.S. equities closed for the weekend) ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ: ASML), the Dutch chipmaking-equipment powerhouse at the heart of advanced semiconductor manufacturing, heads into the final week of 2025 with investors balancing two forces that rarely coexist peacefully: a powerful AI-led demand narrative and persistent geopolitical risk tied to U.S.-China tech restrictions. With U.S. markets closed this weekend, the actionable question for ASML shareholders is less about “what happened overnight” and more about “what could reprice the stock when trading resumes Monday, Dec. 29.” In thin year-end conditions—when liquidity

Salesforce (CRM) Stock Update: Shares Hold Near $266 Into the Weekend as AI Forecasts, Analyst Targets, and Year-End Trading Set the Tone

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:19 a.m. ET — Market Closed (Weekend) Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE: CRM) heads into the weekend with investors balancing two realities at once: the market’s year-end “thin liquidity” mood and the company’s increasingly high-stakes push to monetize AI agents at enterprise scale. With U.S. markets shut until Monday’s open, Salesforce stock is effectively “frozen” at Friday’s closing levels—leaving the next session to digest any weekend headlines, shifts in index futures, and renewed positioning around megacap software. Where Salesforce stock stands heading into Monday Salesforce shares finished Friday’s regular session at $266.08, up about 0.31% on the

Coinbase Stock (COIN) Weekend Outlook: India Arrest in Data-Breach Probe, Stablecoin Policy Headlines, and Analyst Targets Ahead of Monday

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:10 a.m. ET — Market closed Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN) heads into the final stretch of the year with investors balancing two big forces that often move the stock fast: headline risk (security and regulation) and cycle exposure (crypto prices and trading activity). With U.S. stock markets closed for the weekend, COIN won’t trade again in the regular session until Monday morning—but crypto trades 24/7, and the weekend tape can still shape Monday’s open. As of the most recent U.S. close, Coinbase shares finished Friday at $236.90, down 1.18% on the day. Nasdaq Meanwhile,

Hecla Mining (HL) Stock: Silver’s Record Surge Puts the U.S. Top Silver Producer in Focus as Markets Close for the Weekend

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:13 a.m. ET — Market closed Hecla Mining Company (NYSE: HL) heads into the final Monday trading session of 2025 with a familiar tailwind and a new complication: silver just posted another historic move, but U.S. equity markets are now shut until the opening bell on Monday—leaving investors to price weekend headlines, thin holiday liquidity, and a commodity rally that’s moving faster than many Wall Street models can update. HL stock last finished regular trading at $20.20 on Friday (Dec. 26), up 1.87% on the day. After-hours trading showed $20.25 as of 7:59 p.m. ET.

Sabrina Carpenter’s Holiday Surge: “When Did You Get Hot?” Debuts on Pop Airplay as She Drops a Bonus Track — While Kim Kardashian’s “Kimsmas Live” Shows TikTok Shopping’s Next Phase

The final week of 2025 has become a real-time case study in how modern celebrity runs on momentum: new music drops timed to holiday attention spikes, social-first video releases built for algorithmic discovery, and commerce-driven “events” staged like entertainment. On one side, pop star Sabrina Carpenter is stacking up radio entries at once—while extending the life of her Man’s Best Friend era with a Christmas Eve bonus-track surprise and a stylized lyric video designed to travel across feeds. On the other, Kim Kardashian is turning holiday content into a full funnel: family-photo chaos on Instagram, high-glam Christmas Eve looks, and

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:08 a.m. ET — Market Closed Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd. (Nasdaq: CRDO) heads into the final full week of the year with investors parsing a sharp one-day drop that arrived in the kind of thin, post-holiday tape where small catalysts can feel louder than they are. U.S. markets are closed this weekend, so the next key checkpoint for CRDO stock will be Monday’s regular session, when liquidity returns and traders decide whether Friday’s move was a pause—or the start of something more serious.

(NASDAQ: PANW) is heading into the final days of the year with investors balancing two forces that rarely coexist peacefully: strong cybersecurity demand (and AI-driven security hype) on one side, and elevated expectations—plus big-ticket acquisitions—on the other.

Robinhood Markets (HOOD) Stock Slips Into the Weekend: Fresh Analyst Targets, Newest Headlines, and What to Watch Before Monday

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 10:51 p.m. ET — Market closed Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOOD) heads into the final week of 2025 with investors balancing a powerful year-to-date run against a choppy, headline-sensitive tape and the thin liquidity that often defines late-December trading. HOOD shares finished Friday, Dec. 26 at $118.13, down 1.92% on the day, after trading between $117.70 and $121.03. StockAnalysis That slip came as U.S. equities cooled in a quiet, post-holiday session that snapped a short winning streak—more “pause” than “panic,” according to market strategists watching the year-end “Santa Claus rally” window.

Nationwide £50 Bonus Cheque Deadline: How to Claim the “Big Nationwide Thank You” Before 1 January 2026

Nationwide £50 Bonus Cheque Deadline: How to Claim the “Big Nationwide Thank You” Before 1 January 2026

With New Year just days away, Nationwide Building Society is urging members who received a paper cheque—rather than an automatic bank credit—to pay it in before 1 January 2026 or risk losing the money. Nationwide says all payments under its “Big Nationwide Thank You” scheme have already been issued, but cheques must be paid in by the deadline to avoid missing out. Nationwide+2Nationwide+2 The timing matters: 1 January 2026 is a UK bank holiday, so leaving it to the last moment could be a gamble if your bank’s cheque-deposit options (branch, app, or Post Office) are limited over the holiday

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 10:53 p.m. ET — Market closed (weekend). ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE: NOW) is heading into the final stretch of 2025 with its stock hovering near the mid-$150s and investors weighing two forces that don’t always play nicely together: an aggressive M&A push and Wall Street’s appetite for clean, repeatable subscription growth. Shares last traded around $153.89 following Friday’s session, with about 5.45 million shares changing hands in thin, post-holiday trade. That broader “thin tape” matters. U.S. stocks ended Friday essentially flat in a light-volume, post-Christmas session, with the Dow down 0.04%, the S&P 500 down 0.03%,

(Nasdaq: ALAB) is heading into the final trading days of 2025 with a familiar setup for high-beta semiconductor names: thin year-end liquidity, heightened sensitivity to AI-infrastructure sentiment, and a steady drip of filings that can move the conversation even when there’s no headline catalyst. With U.S. equity markets closed for the weekend, the latest “hard” reference point for ALAB is Friday’s close (Dec. 26): shares finished at $167.26, down 1.59% on the day after trading between $166.10 and $172.88, on volume of roughly 2.0 million

(NYSE: CVNA) heads into the final full trading week of 2025 with a familiar mix of ingredients: a still-hot momentum narrative, a newly “institutionalized” shareholder base after its S&P 500 inclusion, and the kind of valuation that makes both bulls and bears speak in italics. With U.S. equity markets closed for the weekend, investors are digesting Friday’s quiet, post-holiday tape and a batch of late-week commentary that frames a simple question for Monday’s open: is CVNA’s 2025 surge “done,” or just taking a breath before the calendar
