Abivax (ABVX) Stock in Focus: Eli Lilly Takeover Chatter, Obefazimod Phase 3 Momentum, and What to Watch Before the Next U.S. Session

NEW YORK — Friday, December 26, 2025 (9:13 a.m. ET): U.S. stocks are heading into a thin, post‑Christmas trading day, with Wall Street set for a relatively muted open as investors digest a strong 2025 tape and look ahead to 2026 rate and earnings narratives. Reuters In that kind of tape, headline-driven biotech names can swing harder than usual—and ABIVAX Société Anonyme (NASDAQ: ABVX) has been exactly that kind of stock in December: a mix of clinical-trial enthusiasm, index-related positioning, and renewed takeover speculation. As of the latest available quote this morning, ABVX was trading around $145.31 in the premarket,

Oracle Stock Heads for Worst Quarter Since 2001 as AI Spending Fears Collide With OpenAI, TikTok, and Hollywood Bets

Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) is closing out 2025 with the kind of volatility normally reserved for pure-play AI startups, not a 47-year-old enterprise software heavyweight. Shares are down about 30% so far this quarter, putting the stock on pace for its steepest quarterly decline since 2001, according to market reporting that tracked the move against Oracle’s early-2000s drawdowns. StockAnalysis The selloff has been fueled by a single, recurring question: Can Oracle finance—and execute—an AI data-center buildout big enough to meet demand without crushing its cash flow and balance sheet? That concern has only intensified as Oracle’s ambitions expand beyond the cloud.

American Airlines Will Hold Some Flights for Tight Connections: How the New Connect Assist “Short Hold” Service Works, Where It’s Live, and What Travelers Should Know

That price sits in the middle of a month defined by sharp, headline-driven swings—exactly what tends to happen when a company is simultaneously building out massive AI data center capacity and raising capital to fund it.
