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

ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE: NOW) heads into the week of December 22–26, 2025 with momentum in its product narrative—but also with headline risk that has recently dominated the stock. The company has closed its largest acquisition to date (Moveworks), announced a security-focused buyout of identity specialist Veza, and completed a 5-for-1 stock split—all while markets digest reports that ServiceNow is in advanced talks to buy cybersecurity firm Armis for up to $7 billion.

GlobalFoundries Stock (GFS) Today: Latest News, Analyst Forecasts, and the 2026 Setup (Dec. 21, 2025)

December 21, 2025 — GlobalFoundries (NASDAQ: GFS) stock is heading into the final stretch of the year with a familiar investor question hanging in the air: is this “boring but essential” chipmaker quietly building a better growth engine—or just treading water while the AI boom happens elsewhere? As of the latest available trade (markets are closed today, Sunday), GFS last traded around $36.63 with heavy recent volume, putting it near the middle of its 52-week range and keeping the company squarely in “watchlist” territory for investors who want semiconductor exposure outside the bleeding-edge race.

SanDisk Corporation stock (Nasdaq: SNDK) heads into the weekend with momentum—and a growing debate over just how far the rally can go. As of Saturday, December 20, 2025, shares are indicated around $237.61, reflecting the last U.S. session’s move and a sharp gain versus the prior close. The latest catalyst is not an earnings report from SanDisk itself, but a sector-wide re-rating after peer Micron delivered a bullish outlook tied to AI-driven memory demand—an update that helped lift other memory names, including SanDisk, in the same breath.
