Adobe stock (ADBE) dips ahead of 2026 open — here’s what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 05:28 ET — Market closed. Adobe Inc (ADBE) shares fell 0.7% to $349.99 at Wednesday’s close, ending the last U.S. trading session of 2025 on a softer note. The stock ranged from $349.69 to $352.88, with about 2.1 million shares changing hands. Yahoo Finance The move matters because the first trading days of the new year often set the tone for risk appetite, especially in technology-heavy names. Adobe is also treated as a read-through on corporate spending for design, marketing and productivity software. That scrutiny is amplified by the industry’s push to monetize generative AI

Qualcomm stock slides into the New Year as chip shares cool — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 05:07 ET — Market closed QUALCOMM Incorporated shares ended the last trading day of 2025 lower as chip stocks slipped with a broader year-end pullback. The decline matters because investors often reset positions at the turn of the calendar, and semiconductors were among the most crowded trades in 2025. For Qualcomm, the next catalyst is not another holiday-thin session. It is the first wave of January economic data and the company’s next update on demand for smartphone chips and licensing. Qualcomm (QCOM) fell $2.59, or 1.5%, to $171.05 on Wednesday. The shares traded between $170.88

Space Forge sparks plasma on ForgeStar-1 in orbit, pushing semiconductors-in-space closer

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 05:19 ET U.K. startup Space Forge said on Dec. 31 it generated plasma — a superheated gas — aboard its ForgeStar-1 satellite, calling it a world-first for commercial in-space manufacturing.

Strategy (MSTR) stock ends 2025 lower as bitcoin slips — what investors watch next

Strategy (MSTR) stock ends 2025 lower as bitcoin slips — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 05:12 ET — Market closed. Strategy Inc shares last closed down 2.3% at $151.95, after touching $151.44 in the session, as bitcoin eased to about $87,744 early on Thursday. U.S. stock markets are shut for the New Year’s Day holiday. Nasdaq The move matters because Strategy trades as a high-beta proxy for bitcoin, meaning it often magnifies swings in the cryptocurrency. Crypto trades around the clock, even when U.S. equities are dark, leaving investors to price bitcoin risk into the next session. That link is under fresh scrutiny after bitcoin’s late-2025 slide, which has tightened
