CRH plc Stock Today (Dec. 22, 2025): S&P 500 Debut, Fresh Buyback Update, and What Analysts Forecast Next

CRH plc stock (NYSE: CRH) is starting this week with two headline catalysts hitting at once: its official inclusion in the S&P 500, and a new “transaction in own shares” update tied to its ongoing $300 million buyback program.

US Stock Market Today (Dec. 22, 2025, 10:16 a.m. ET): Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Rise as Tech Rebound Builds Into Holiday Week

New York — Wall Street began the holiday-shortened week with a steady bid for risk, led by a renewed push in technology and AI-linked names. As of 10:16 a.m. ET on Monday, Dec. 22, 2025, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite were all higher, as investors weighed an AI-driven momentum rebound against thin year-end liquidity and a busy batch of economic updates still due before Christmas.

Nike Stock (NKE) News Today, Dec. 22, 2025: China Slump, Tariffs, and Turnaround Costs Dominate Forecasts After Earnings

Nike Stock (NKE) News Today, Dec. 22, 2025: China Slump, Tariffs, and Turnaround Costs Dominate Forecasts After Earnings

NIKE, Inc. stock is starting the week still digesting a bruising post-earnings selloff, with investors focused less on the fact that the company beat Wall Street’s profit expectations and more on what management signaled about margins, China, and the cost of the turnaround. As of Dec. 22, NIKE shares (NYSE: NKE) were trading around the high-$50s, after opening higher and swinging through a wide intraday range. That price action fits the current Nike narrative: the company isn’t “broken,” but its recovery is proving messy—especially in China—while tariffs and discounting are squeezing profitability.

December 22, 2025 — Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIVN) is ending the year with a very different vibe than the one that dominated much of the post-IPO era: the stock is pushing to fresh highs, sentiment is swinging from “cash-burn problem” to “platform story,” and Wall Street is suddenly arguing about software subscriptions and AI chips instead of just vehicle deliveries. On Monday, Rivian shares touched a new 52-week high of $22.68, capping a sharp recent run-up that some market trackers put at roughly 20% in the past week.

CRH PLC Stock Enters the S&P 500 Today: Buybacks, 2025 Guidance, Analyst Forecasts and What to Watch Next (Dec. 22, 2025)

NEW YORK — Dec. 22, 2025 — CRH plc (NYSE: CRH), one of the world’s largest building materials groups, is stepping into a new spotlight on Monday: its addition to the S&P 500 becomes effective prior to the open of U.S. trading today, a milestone that often triggers index-fund rebalancing, a short-term liquidity boost, and heightened media attention. CRH+1 At the same time, the company is actively returning capital.

Warner Bros. Discovery Stock (WBD) Today: Paramount Adds Larry Ellison’s $40.4B Guarantee, Netflix Locks In Deal Financing — What It Means for Shares (Dec. 22, 2025)

Warner Bros. Discovery Stock (WBD) Today: Paramount Adds Larry Ellison’s $40.4B Guarantee, Netflix Locks In Deal Financing — What It Means for Shares (Dec. 22, 2025)

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBD) stock is trading like a referendum on one question: which bidder (if any) ultimately wins one of the biggest media takeovers in history. As of Dec. 22, 2025, WBD shares were last at $27.77, after swinging between $27.07 and $29.31 in a volatile session. The day’s catalyst is straightforward: Paramount Skydance doubled down on its hostile takeover attempt with a major financing upgrade—an “irrevocable personal guarantee” from Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison covering $40.4 billion of equity financing—while Netflix moved to strengthen its own bid by refinancing a large piece of the bridge funding backing

Broadcom Inc. stock (NASDAQ: AVGO) is starting Christmas week back in the spotlight after a volatile mid-December stretch that whipsawed chip investors: first, a sharp selloff tied to margin worries in AI hardware; then, a rebound as traders rotated back into semiconductors on fresh optimism around artificial intelligence. As of early Monday, December 22, Broadcom shares were trading around $340, up roughly 3% from the prior close, alongside gains across major chip names in premarket action. Reuters+1 That “up again” headline, though, misses the more interesting story: Broadcom is simultaneously (1) posting record financial results and guiding higher, (2) warning

Updated: December 22, 2025 Ondas Holdings Inc.

Dec. 22, 2025 — Hecla Mining Company (NYSE: HL) is starting the holiday-shortened week with two powerful tailwinds that tend to make mining stocks behave like they’ve had three espressos: index inclusion and surging metal prices.

Amazon Stock News Today (AMZN): Shares Hold Near $227 as OpenAI Talks, AWS AI Chips, and 30‑Minute Delivery Tests Set Up 2026

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) stock is trading around the $227 level on December 22, 2025, as investors weigh a fast-moving mix of AI/cloud catalysts, new delivery experiments, and big-ticket spending plans that could reshape Amazon’s growth narrative into 2026. After a year in which Amazon’s share performance has been described as roughly flat—especially compared with broader large-cap benchmarks—today’s debate is less about whether Amazon is still a high-quality business and more about what deserves credit (and what deserves scrutiny) in its next phase: AWS’ AI momentum, the economics of faster delivery, and the payback period on surging infrastructure investment.
