KLA Stock (KLAC) News on Dec. 25, 2025: $1,500 Targets, AI Chip Spending Tailwinds, and the Valuation Debate

December 25, 2025 — KLA Corporation (NASDAQ: KLAC) heads into the Christmas holiday with Wall Street still arguing about the same deliciously modern question: when an “AI infrastructure” theme stock doubles in a year, is that a sign of a durable shift… or the moment optimism quietly turns into overpayment? With U.S. markets closed for Christmas Day, the latest actionable “stock tape” comes from Wednesday’s close (Dec. 24). KLAC last finished at $1,276.99, after trading between $1,265.00 and $1,279.18 in a lighter-volume holiday week session. StockAnalysis Today’s coverage (Dec. 25) is dominated by two fresh takes: one that frames KLA’s

AMC Robotics Corporation (AMCI) Stock News on Dec. 25, 2025: Post‑SPAC Volatility, Withdrawn Japan Release, and What Investors Watch Next

AMC Robotics Corporation stock (Nasdaq: AMCI) heads into December 25, 2025 with the kind of price action that makes both momentum traders and risk managers sit up straighter. The shares last closed Dec. 24 at $9.35, up 47.94% on the day, on roughly 26.5 million shares of volume—an outsized turnover for a newly listed, tightly held name. Finviz Under the hood, the story is less “steady fundamentals” and more a collision of fresh de‑SPAC mechanics, a concentrated ownership structure, and headline-driven trading—including a Dec. 18 notice telling readers to disregard two Dec. 17 releases tied to Japan.

Russia’s Crypto Pivot: Retail Trading Limits, Exchange Launch Plans, and Bitcoin Mining’s Ruble Link

Russia’s Crypto Pivot: Retail Trading Limits, Exchange Launch Plans, and Bitcoin Mining’s Ruble Link

Moscow — December 25, 2025. Russia is moving toward the most formal, retail-facing crypto regime it has ever proposed — but with guardrails designed to keep the market tightly supervised, limit household exposure, and preserve the ruble’s monopoly on domestic payments. At the center of the shift is a new concept paper from the Bank of Russia that would allow both retail (“non‑qualified”) and professional (“qualified”) investors to buy crypto through licensed intermediaries, under mandatory testing and strict limits for most citizens. Central Bank of Russia Today’s follow-up reporting (December 25) adds a key operational angle: Russia’s biggest exchanges say

Budapest Update Dec. 25, 2025: Gellért and Rác Baths Renovation Delays Deepen as BKK Signs MOL Bubi 3.0 Contract

BUDAPEST, Hungary — December 25, 2025. Budapest is closing out the year with two headline stories that matter to both residents and visitors: the city’s famous thermal bath renovations are facing renewed uncertainty after a key financing step stalled, while the capital’s MOL Bubi bike-sharing system is moving into a major expansion phase—without the feared winter shutdown. Together, the developments highlight the same pressure point for Hungary’s capital: modernizing essential, high-demand public assets—whether they’re heritage spas that anchor Budapest’s tourism brand or daily mobility services that keep the inner city moving—while navigating complex funding and procurement timelines.

Natural Gas Prices Today (Dec. 25, 2025): Henry Hub Whipsaws on Holiday Volume, Europe’s TTF Ticks Higher, Asia LNG Firms on South Korea Demand

Natural Gas Prices Today (Dec. 25, 2025): Henry Hub Whipsaws on Holiday Volume, Europe’s TTF Ticks Higher, Asia LNG Firms on South Korea Demand

Natural gas “today” (Thursday, December 25, 2025) is a classic holiday-market paradox: not many people are trading, but the people who are trading can move prices. Across the major benchmarks, the story is broadly consistent—winter weather risk is back in focus, LNG demand remains a powerful support in the U.S., and Europe is watching both temperature swings and storage levels as it heads deeper into the heating season.

AI Stocks Today (Dec. 25, 2025): Nvidia’s Groq Deal, Snowflake’s M&A Talks, UiPath’s Index Boost, and Meta’s WhatsApp AI Clash

December 25, 2025 — It’s Christmas Day, U.S. markets are taking a breather, and yet the AI-stock news cycle is doing what it always does: refusing to sleep. With investors digesting a holiday-thinned week of announcements, today’s biggest AI-stock narratives revolve around AI inference hardware, software consolidation, and regulatory pressure on AI distribution channels—the plumbing that decides which chatbots can reach billions of users.

Comet 3I/ATLAS Today (Dec. 25, 2025): What’s New After the Flyby, What NASA and ESA Just Saw, and Why It Matters

December 25, 2025 marks the strange, quiet “afterglow” phase of Comet 3I/ATLAS—the third confirmed interstellar object ever found passing through our solar system. The comet’s closest approach to Earth is already behind us (it passed at a safe distance), but the science story is still unfolding fast: Breakthrough Listen has now reported results from an ultra-sensitive “are you broadcasting?” radio search, while NASA and ESA continue to publish spacecraft observations that help pin down what this visitor is actually made of—and how it behaves when the Sun starts cooking it.

US Economy Ends 2025 With 4.3% GDP Growth—Why the Affordability Crisis Still Defines Trump’s America

December 25, 2025 On paper, the U.S. economy is finishing 2025 with the kind of headline numbers politicians love: strong growth, rising corporate profits, and a stock market that just hit fresh records heading into the holiday break. But on the ground—at grocery stores, on rent renewals, and in household budgets—many Americans are still asking the same question: If growth is booming, why does life feel so expensive? A wave of late-December economic updates has sharpened that paradox. The government’s latest GDP snapshot points to fast expansion. Corporate profits are rising. Holiday spending remains resilient. And Wall Street has pushed

Night Sky Today (Dec. 25, 2025): Crescent Moon and Saturn at Dusk, Brilliant Jupiter Later, Ursid Meteors, and a Christmas ISS Flyby

Christmas night has a delightfully “classic winter sky” vibe in the Northern Hemisphere: a fat waxing crescent Moon glowing in the southwest as twilight fades, Saturn parked nearby like a steady golden bead, and Jupiter muscling its way up in the east-northeast to dominate the late-evening and overnight sky. StarDate Online Add in the last few nights of the Ursid meteor shower (still active through Dec. 26), plus a widely timed International Space Station pass before sunrise in many parts of North America and Europe, and Night Sky Today is doing its best to be a holiday encore.

December 25, 2025 — A new batch of SEC filings is offering a clearer look at how professional money managers are positioning around Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) going into 2026. Several firms disclosed new stakes or sizeable increases in Meta during the third quarter, while other investors trimmed exposure—a split-screen picture that comes as Meta faces a new wave of European regulatory pressure tied to WhatsApp and rival AI chatbots, and as Wall Street debates whether Meta’s AI spending surge will translate into durable returns.
