PepsiCo Stock (NASDAQ: PEP) Week Ahead: Elliott-Driven Reset, Analyst Price Targets, and What to Watch (Dec. 22–26, 2025)

PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ: PEP) heads into the week of December 22–26, 2025 in a familiar spot for defensive consumer staples: the stock is reacting less to day-to-day hype and more to big-picture execution—pricing, product mix, productivity, and any headline risks that can quickly swing sentiment in a low-volume holiday market. As of December 21, 2025, PepsiCo shares are around $148. The week ahead is Christmas-shortened (early close on Christmas Eve; closed on Christmas Day), which often means thinner liquidity and potentially sharper moves on headlines—even for “steady” names like PepsiCo.

NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE) heads into a holiday-shortened week with investors balancing two forces that often pull utility stocks in opposite directions: rapidly rising power demand tied to AI and data centers (a growth catalyst) and the interest-rate/policy backdrop (a valuation and permitting risk).

Booking Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: BKNG) enters the week of December 22–26, 2025 in a familiar place for long-term investors: near highs, supported by resilient global travel demand, but still facing a fast-evolving competitive and regulatory backdrop.

ON Semiconductor Stock (NASDAQ: ON) Week Ahead Outlook: Nasdaq-100 Exit, Buybacks, and GaN Catalysts to Watch (Dec. 22–26, 2025)

Date: Sunday, December 21, 2025 ON Semiconductor Corporation (onsemi) heads into a holiday-shortened trading week with two unusual forces likely to dominate price action: (1) index-driven flows tied to ON’s removal from the Nasdaq-100, and (2) a steady drumbeat of strategic announcements aimed at power semiconductors for AI infrastructure, EVs, and industrial energy systems.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) Stock Week Ahead: Holiday-Shortened Trading, New Gene-Therapy Data, and Fresh Analyst Targets (Dec. 22–26, 2025)

Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (NASDAQ: VRTX) heads into the week of December 22–26, 2025 with a familiar setup for biotech investors: a cash-rich market leader in cystic fibrosis (CF), a pipeline that could meaningfully diversify revenue over the next 12–24 months, and a stock that can move quickly on headlines—even when broader markets are quiet. The difference this time is the calendar. U.S. equities trading will be compressed by Christmas, with an early close on Wednesday, Dec. 24 (1:00 p.m. ET) and markets closed Thursday, Dec. 25. That tends to thin liquidity and can magnify price swings—up or down—on even modest
