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

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. The move comes on the final trading day of 2025, with U.S. markets set to close on Thursday for New Year’s Day and volumes thin in the holiday-shortened week. Reuters That matters now because smaller, high-volatility tech stocks tend to swing more when liquidity is light and investors rebalance portfolios into year-end. “It’s perfectly fine in any bull market to have moments of

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

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. The stock traded between $29.12 and $29.86. The timing matters because Super Micro’s customers care less about buzzwords and more about delivery schedules, power draw and cooling. Any hint of execution risk can move the stock quickly, especially into year-end when liquidity thins and position-squaring can exaggerate swings. The company said Senior Vice President of Operations George Kao will retire

Nebius stock dips as insiders flag share sales in SEC filings

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. Reuters That backdrop makes insider supply a live issue, even when

Qualcomm stock slips in year-end trade as chip shares cool; what QCOM investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:13 ET — Regular session QUALCOMM Incorporated shares slipped in afternoon trading on Wednesday, underperforming the broader semiconductor group as U.S. stocks edged lower in holiday-thin year-end trading. The final session of the year often brings portfolio rebalancing and profit-taking — selling to lock in gains — which can amplify moves even when there is little company-specific news. Wall Street’s main indexes were slightly lower on the day, with technology shares dipping as traders looked ahead to 2026, Reuters reported. Reuters At 3:13 p.m. ET, Qualcomm was down $1.79, or about 1.0%, at $171.86 after

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. Liquidity has been patchy heading into the New Year holiday, a setup that can magnify price swings. “Profit-taking opportunities” tend to show up “when liquidity was low,” said Giuseppe Sette, co-founder and president of Reflexivity.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 3:06 PM ET — Regular session Bloom Energy (BE.N) shares fell about 1% on Wednesday after Clear Street raised its price target — an analyst’s estimate of where a stock could trade over the next 12 months — to $58 from $50 but reiterated a Hold rating, a neutral call.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:04 ET — Regular session Carvana Co. shares were down 1.5% at $423.29 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, extending a choppy finish to the year for one of 2025’s biggest gainers. The stock’s decline came as U.S. equities inched lower in the final trading session of 2025, with technology shares weighing on benchmarks in light, holiday-thinned volume.

Bank of America stock dips as Fed repo borrowing hits a record at year-end

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:02 ET — Regular session Bank of America Corporation shares were down about 0.3% in afternoon trading on Wednesday as year-end funding-market flows and rate expectations set the tone for U.S. financial stocks. The move matters now because big banks are sensitive to shifts in short-term funding costs, which can filter into trading conditions and overall financing appetite heading into 2026. At year-end, liquidity often tightens as institutions trim balance sheets. It also comes ahead of a January stretch of catalysts that can reset expectations for Federal Reserve policy and the rate backdrop banks face.
