MARA Holdings (MARA) Stock News on Dec. 18, 2025: Bitcoin Volatility, AI Data-Center Pivot, and Analyst Forecasts in the Spotlight

Dec. 18, 2025 — MARA Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MARA) is getting the full “crypto equity” treatment again: big moves, big opinions, and a market narrative that shifts faster than a mining rig in a heat wave. On today’s tape, the stock is trading around $9.93, after a sharp pullback that follows a broader reset in bitcoin-linked equities. Bitcoin itself is hovering near the high-$80,000s, still well below its early-October peak—an important detail, because MARA’s share price remains tightly tied to bitcoin’s direction and to investor confidence in bitcoin miners’ margins.

Bloom Energy Corporation (NYSE: BE) is having one of those “welcome to the modern market” weeks—where a stock can look unstoppable for months, then suddenly drop hard as sentiment flips on a dime.

Globalstar, Inc. (NASDAQ: GSAT) is having one of those “welcome to modern markets” weeks: a red-hot rally meets a sharp pullback, and investors are left sorting signal from noise.

Vertiv (VRT) Stock on Dec. 18, 2025: Why Shares Are Swinging on AI Data Center Angst — and What Analysts Forecast Next

Vertiv Holdings Co. (NYSE: VRT) is having the kind of December that gives long-term investors heartburn and short-term traders a full-time job.

StockAnalysis The immediate story isn’t a sudden collapse in Vertiv’s business. It’s the market doing what it does best: taking a real concern (AI infrastructure is expensive and increasingly debt-financed) and stress-testing every company connected to that trade—whether they’re building chips, leasing data centers, or selling the unglamorous but essential “keep the servers alive” gear like power

Dec. 18, 2025 — Vistra Corp. (NYSE: VST) is back in the spotlight as investors try to reconcile two powerful (and sometimes contradictory) forces moving power-generator stocks right now: record-high capacity payments in the PJM power market and shifting sentiment around AI-driven electricity demand.
