IBM stock slides nearly 2% in year-end session as profit-taking dents Dow

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 3:21 PM ET — Regular session Shares of International Business Machines Corp fell about 1.8% on Wednesday, trading around $296.64 in the afternoon after touching a session low of $295.92. The stock opened near $301.76 and was set for its second straight daily drop as the year winds down.

Rigetti (RGTI) stock slides today as year-end profit-taking weighs on quantum shares

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 3:19 PM ET — Regular session. Shares of Rigetti Computing (RGTI.O) were down 1.7% at $22.03 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, as the quantum-computing name tracked a cautious tone in year-end markets.

Why Super Micro (SMCI) stock is down today: an exec retirement filing meets year-end AI trade

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:16 ET — Regular session Super Micro Computer, Inc. shares fell 1.7% to $29.15 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, after a regulatory filing showed the AI server maker’s head of operations will retire at year-end.

Nebius stock dips as insiders flag share sales in SEC filings

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:20 ET — Regular session Nebius Group N.V. shares slipped on Wednesday as investors weighed insider notices to sell stock. The Nasdaq-listed shares were down about 1.9% at $83.59 in afternoon trading. The filings hit during year-end trading, when liquidity is typically thin and moves can be exaggerated. Nebius, a Netherlands-based data center operator, has drawn outsized attention as a “neocloud” provider — a firm that rents out high-end computing power for AI — after landing multi-billion-dollar infrastructure contracts with Microsoft and Meta Platforms.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:50 ET — Regular session Alignment Healthcare, Inc. shares rose about 3.4% to $19.90 in mid-afternoon trading on Wednesday, after earlier touching $19.93 as the stock fluctuated between $18.83 and $19.93. The move came as investors weighed a cluster of insider-transaction disclosures that can shape sentiment in smaller healthcare names, especially in thin year-end markets.
