Big Tech stocks 2026 forecast: Nvidia’s China chip rush sets the first test for AI leaders

Big Tech stocks 2026 forecast: Nvidia’s China chip rush sets the first test for AI leaders

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:07 ET Nvidia has approached Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co to ramp up production of its H200 artificial intelligence chips as Chinese technology companies place large orders for 2026, sources told Reuters. The push puts AI chip supply — and the politics around who gets it — back at the center of the 2026 outlook for Big Tech stocks. Reuters The year begins after U.S. stocks posted another strong run in 2025, a period dominated by President Donald Trump’s tariff uncertainty and a rush into AI-related shares. The S&P 500 gained 16.39% in 2025 and the

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 9:52 a.m. ET — Market closed (weekend) Oracle Corporation stock is heading into the final three U.S. trading sessions of 2025 with a familiar tug-of-war: bulls point to explosive cloud infrastructure demand and a record backlog, while skeptics focus on the financing and cash-flow strain of Oracle’s accelerated AI data-center buildout.

With U.S. markets closed for the weekend, Ford shares will next trade when the New York Stock Exchange reopens Monday, Dec. 29.
