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

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.

NEW YORK — As of 9:00 a.m. ET on Friday, December 26, 2025, the U.S. stock market has not opened for the regular session yet (9:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m. ET), and trading conditions are typically thinner than usual in the post-Christmas stretch.

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.

Coupang Stock (NYSE: CPNG) News Today: Shares Jump on Data-Breach Update as Analysts Reprice Risk

December 26, 2025 — Coupang, Inc. stock (NYSE: CPNG) is back in the spotlight after a sharp U.S. premarket move tied to South Korea’s largest e-commerce platform and a fast-moving cybersecurity story. Shares rose about 6%–7% in premarket trading Friday after Coupang said it identified the former employee behind unauthorized access tied to a breach affecting roughly 33 million customers, and claimed that only a small subset of data was saved and later deleted.

BitMine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: BMNR) isn’t trading like a normal operating company right now—it’s trading like a publicly listed Ethereum balance sheet with a few business lines attached. And as of December 26, 2025, the story investors keep coming back to is simple: BitMine says it holds 4.066 million ETH, controls 3.37% of total ETH supply, and is pushing toward what it calls the “Alchemy of 5%” goal.

TSMC Stock News Today (Dec. 26, 2025): Taiwan Semiconductor Outlook, Analyst Forecasts, and the Catalysts Moving TSM

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) sits at the center of a strange modern triangle: AI demand, industrial policy, and geopolitics. On Dec. 26, 2025, that triangle is very much on display in the way investors are pricing (and re-pricing) TSMC stock—both on Taiwan’s market (TWSE: 2330) and in the U.S. via the ADR (NYSE: TSM). In Taiwan, shares rallied back above a psychologically important milestone while the broader market printed fresh highs. In the U.S., the ADR hovered around the high-$200s as investors weighed the next earnings catalyst and a year-end policy deadline tied to U.S. export controls. What

Updated: December 26, 2025 Barrick Mining Corporation stock is ending 2025 with a rare mix of tailwinds: record-high gold prices, a potential value-unlocking IPO/spin-out under review, and a major geopolitical overhang in Mali showing concrete signs of easing. On December 26, gold pushed to fresh all-time highs in early trading, reinforcing the “higher metal price → higher miner cash flow” narrative that has powered much of the sector’s momentum this year. Reuters But Barrick isn’t just a gold-price passenger right now. The company has also been reshaping itself through divestitures, stepping up shareholder returns, and signaling that its North American
