Nebius Group N.V. (NBIS) Stock News: Blackwell Ultra Launch, Microsoft & Meta Deals, and Wall Street Forecasts (Dec. 20, 2025)

Nebius Group N.V. (NASDAQ: NBIS) stock is ending the week with a loud reminder that the “AI infrastructure” trade is still very much alive—and still extremely volatile.

December 20, 2025 — Moderna, Inc.

3i Group plc Stock (LSE:III) News, Forecasts and Analysis as of 20 December 2025: Action Wobbles in France, Analysts Stay (Mostly) Bullish

Dec. 20, 2025 — London. 3i Group plc (LSE:III) ends the week in a familiar place for long-time shareholders: priced like a premium product, but currently being treated like a discounted one. After a bruising sell-off following November’s half-year update, the stock has steadied around the low-3,200s pence—yet it’s still roughly 27% below its 52‑week peak set in late October. Hargreaves Lansdown+1 That split personality is the story of 3i right now. On paper, the firm’s biggest asset—European discount retailer Action—is still growing. In the market, investors are debating whether the recent soft patch in France is a temporary pothole…

National Grid plc Stock (NG.L): Share Price, RIIO‑T3 Decision, Sea Link Contracts and Analyst Forecasts as of 20 December 2025

National Grid plc stock is heading into the end of 2025 with investors focused on a single, very modern problem: electrification is accelerating faster than grid infrastructure can comfortably keep up. For a regulated utility, that can be a gift (predictable, funded growth) or a headache (political scrutiny, bill impacts, execution risk). Right now, the market is weighing both. As of the latest available close (19 December 2025), National Grid shares (LSE: NG.) were trading around 1,142p, giving the group a market capitalisation of roughly £56.6 billion and a trailing dividend yield around 4.1% (based on broker-screen pricing).

Imperial Brands PLC shares head into the Dec. 20 weekend with investors focused on three fresh threads: an updated credit view from Fitch, a steady drumbeat of share buybacks under the company’s new £1.45 billion programme, and a forward outlook that still leans heavily on the tobacco cash machine while “next generation products” (NGP) scale from a smaller base. The stock is hovering around the 3,176p area, within a 52-week band that’s stretched roughly from the mid‑2,500s to the low‑3,300s.

December 20, 2025 — Rio Tinto plc stock heads into the weekend with a lot of narrative gravity: a new CEO’s strategy reboot, fresh spending on long-life iron ore supply, an Australian government move to protect a key aluminium asset, and a legal overhang tied to sanctions-era fallout. If you’re tracking Rio Tinto share price moves, this week has been less about a single headline and more about the market trying to price a portfolio-wide “remodel”: iron ore durability, copper growth (and costs), lithium execution after a major acquisition, and energy risk in aluminium.
