Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc.

Rocket Lab Stock (RKLB) Hits a Record High After a Landmark $816M Missile-Tracking Satellite Deal: News, Forecasts, and What’s Next (Dec. 20, 2025)

December 20, 2025 — Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ: RKLB) is ending the week with the kind of headline every growth stock dreams about: a record close, a major U.S. national security contract, and renewed investor focus on the company’s longer-term “make-or-break” catalyst—Neutron, its next-generation medium-lift rocket.

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.

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.

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.

Shell Plc stock (ticker: SHEL) heads into the final stretch of 2025 with investors weighing two forces that often pull in opposite directions: near-term cash returns (dividends and aggressive buybacks) versus longer-term questions about production depth, portfolio reshaping, and execution risk across a sprawling global footprint. On the surface, Shell’s equity story still looks like the classic “Big Oil with discipline” trade—steady shareholder distributions, cost focus, and selective investment.
