KLAC traded around $1,224 in the latest available session check on Tuesday, keeping the stock close to recent highs after a strong move earlier this week following a high-profile Wall Street upgrade (and while investors digest an insider filing that’s drawing attention, even if it’s routine in nature).

Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals (ARWR) Stock Drops on Dec. 16, 2025: Latest News, Analyst Forecasts, and What Investors Are Watching

Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARWR) is seeing a sharp pullback in Tuesday trading (Dec. 16, 2025), with shares recently changing hands around $62—down roughly 9% from the prior close—after hitting an intraday low near $59.76. That drop may look dramatic in isolation, but it’s landing on top of an unusually eventful stretch for the RNA interference (RNAi) biotech: Arrowhead just transitioned into a commercial-stage story after its first FDA approval, picked up an FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation for a follow-on indication, and kicked off a new Alzheimer’s-related clinical program—three ingredients that tend to increase both upside narratives and day-to-day volatility

Compass Inc stock COMP: Latest news, analyst forecasts, and key catalysts on December 16 2025

Compass Inc stock (NYSE: COMP) is back in the spotlight on December 16, 2025, as investors juggle a cocktail of real-estate industry disruption, Big Tech “portal wars,” and a major consolidation bet that could reshape U.S. residential brokerage. By midday Tuesday, COMP was trading around $10.76 after opening at $10.42, with an intraday range roughly $10.28–$10.76 on volume above 2.3 million shares. That price action matters because it comes immediately after a sharp volatility spike tied to a single unnerving question: What happens to real-estate search traffic (and lead economics) if Google decides it wants a bigger slice?

Pfizer Stock (PFE) Slides After 2026 Guidance: COVID Sales Drop, Patent Cliff and Analyst Forecasts in Focus

Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) shares fell sharply in U.S. trading on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, as investors weighed the drugmaker’s first look at full-year 2026 guidance, an updated 2025 revenue outlook, and fresh commentary on cost savings and capital allocation. By late morning ET, Pfizer stock was trading around $25, down roughly 5% on the day after swinging between the mid-$26s and just under $25. The market’s message was clear: Pfizer’s transition away from pandemic-era revenue is still a work in progress, and 2026 is shaping up as another “bridge year” where lower COVID-19 sales and patent expirations pressure results—partly

NEW YORK — Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. Series A shares (NASDAQ: WBD) are trading like a merger-arbitrage ticker rather than a traditional media stock on Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2025, with the price effectively “pinned” near $30 as investors handicap two competing endgames: Paramount Skydance’s $30-per-share all-cash tender offer versus Netflix’s prior agreement to acquire key WBD assets at a $27.75 per-share implied value. Netflix+1 As of the latest available quote Tuesday, WBD traded around $29.25, down modestly on the day, after touching an intraday high near $29.69.

Texas Instruments Incorporated (NASDAQ: TXN) is back in the spotlight on December 16, 2025, as investors balance two forces moving in opposite directions: near-term pressure on the earnings story (highlighted by a high-profile Wall Street downgrade) and long-term confidence in the company’s U.S. manufacturing buildout, including a major Sherman, Texas production milestone expected this week. With TXN trading modestly lower intraday, today’s coverage centers on whether Texas Instruments’ aggressive capacity investments—once framed as a strategic advantage—could temporarily become a drag on margins, while the analog semiconductor cycle recovers more slowly than hoped.

Stellantis stock rattled by $26.5 billion EV reset and dividend halt ahead of Monday trade

7 February 2026
Milan, February 7, 2026, 10:54 (CET) — Market closed. Stellantis shares (STLA) closed at $7.28 in New York on Friday, down 23.8%, after the Jeep maker unveiled a €22.2 billion ($26.5 billion) hit tied to scaling back electric-vehicle plans and said it would not pay a dividend in 2026. The selloff matters going into next week because it forces a quick rethink on cash and capital returns at a company investors once treated as a high-yield play. With markets shut for the weekend, traders will be looking for any follow-through from credit markets and analysts before Monday’s open. In Europe,
