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

(NASDAQ: OPEN) heads into the final trading days of 2025 with investors balancing two powerful forces: meme-stock-style volatility and a housing market still highly sensitive to interest rates.

Oracle Stock (ORCL) Heads Into the Final Week of 2025: AI Capex Pressure, OpenAI Exposure, Analyst Forecasts, and What to Watch Before Monday’s Open

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 markets shut for the weekend, investors are parsing Friday’s close, late-week commentary, and fresh year-end positioning signals—while looking ahead to Monday’s reopening amid holiday-thinned liquidity and a packed macro calendar.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 7:52 a.m. ET — Market closed The Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) heads into the final stretch of the year with momentum still intact—but with a growing “show me the earnings” demand from investors as policy headlines and macro data collide. The benchmark Shanghai Composite ended Friday at 3,963.68, up 0.1%, with combined turnover across Shanghai and Shenzhen totaling about 2.16 trillion yuan, as gains in themes such as commercial spaceflight and lithium batteries helped offset weakness elsewhere.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 5:56 a.m. ET — Market closed Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA) heads into the final trading week of the year with investors balancing two competing narratives: a sharp post-holiday pullback in the latest session, and a broader push by the company to evolve from a COVID-era windfall into a multi-product vaccine and therapeutics platform. With U.S. equity markets closed for the weekend, Monday’s session will reopen the conversation around whether Friday’s decline was simple year-end positioning—or the start of another volatility burst for one of biotech’s most heavily debated tickers.

Ford Stock (NYSE: F) News, Forecasts and What to Watch Before Monday’s Session

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 2:04 a.m. ET — Market closed Ford Motor Company stock (NYSE: F) heads into the final trading days of 2025 with investors weighing two very different storylines: Ford’s push to lean harder into profitable trucks and hybrids while recalibrating its EV roadmap—and a drumbeat of quality-related headlines that can translate into real costs. With U.S. markets closed for the weekend, Ford shares will next trade when the New York Stock Exchange reopens Monday, Dec. 29. The setup matters because late-December sessions can magnify moves—on relatively modest news—thanks to holiday-thinned liquidity and year-end positioning. Ford stock

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 4:52 p.m. ET — Market closed. Carvana Co. (NYSE: CVNA) is heading into the final full trading week of 2025 with Wall Street still debating the same question that has fueled much of the stock’s narrative this year: after a blockbuster rebound and a spot in the S&P 500, is there still meaningful upside left for 2026—or are investors now paying too much for the turnaround? With U.S. markets closed for the weekend, CVNA shares last finished at $438.47, down 0.7% in the most recent session, after trading between $436.74 and $446.39. The latest Carvana

NEW YORK — As of 4:36 a.m. ET on Saturday, December 27, 2025, U.S. stock markets are closed for the weekend, leaving Ford Motor Company investors with a familiar year-end task: separate the headlines that change the business from the headlines that merely change the mood. Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) last traded around $13.31, down about 0.4% from the prior close. With the New York Stock Exchange shuttered until Monday, the next real price discovery won’t happen until the opening auction. The market backdrop: a thin, year-end tape near record highs Ford isn’t trading in a vacuum. On Friday,

New York (as of 1:47 a.m. ET, Saturday, December 27, 2025) — Centrus Energy Corp. (LEU) heads into the final trading days of 2025 with investors focused on a familiar mix of catalysts: U.S. government funding decisions, the race to build domestic uranium enrichment capacity, and the market’s willingness to keep paying a premium for “nuclear fuel security” exposure.

New York time check: It is 2:19 p.m. ET on Friday, December 26, 2025 in New York. That matters today because U.S. markets are in a thin, holiday week session—the kind of tape where headline-driven moves can be amplified by lighter volume. Midday reports show U.S. indexes hovering near record levels, with investors focused on the year-end “Santa Claus rally” period and what comes next for rates and 2026 earnings.

As of 1:55 p.m. ET in New York on Friday, December 26, 2025, AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTS) was trading around $72.04, down about 7.7% on the day, with shares fluctuating between roughly $71.89 and $79.39 amid heavy volume. The broader market backdrop was comparatively calm, with the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) essentially flat and the Nasdaq-leaning QQQ modestly higher at the same time—an important reminder that today’s move appears more stock-specific than macro-driven. That “stock-specific” lens matters because AST SpaceMobile is in a catalyst-heavy phase: it’s transitioning from highly publicized technology milestones and early commercial agreements to the far

NEW YORK — Dec. 26, 2025 (1:18 p.m. ET) — Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA) shares were trading at about $31.31, down roughly 4.4% on the day, in a notably quiet, post-holiday session where low liquidity can exaggerate moves in individual names. The pullback comes even as the broader market hovers near record territory during the so-called “Santa Claus rally” window, with investors balancing year-end positioning against a steady drumbeat of vaccine-policy headlines and pipeline expectations that will shape 2026 for vaccine makers like Moderna.

BitMine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: BMNR) isn’t trading like a normal operating company right now—it’s trading like a publicly listed Ethereum balance sheet with a few business lines attached. And as of December 26, 2025, the story investors keep coming back to is simple: BitMine says it holds 4.066 million ETH, controls 3.37% of total ETH supply, and is pushing toward what it calls the “Alchemy of 5%” goal. PR Newswire That “treasury-first” identity is also why BMNR headlines tend to arrive in clusters: weekly ETH updates, big capital moves, and now a January 15, 2026 annual meeting where

TSMC Stock News Today (Dec. 26, 2025): Taiwan Semiconductor Outlook, Analyst Forecasts, and the Catalysts Moving TSM

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) sits at the center of a strange modern triangle: AI demand, industrial policy, and geopolitics. On Dec. 26, 2025, that triangle is very much on display in the way investors are pricing (and re-pricing) TSMC stock—both on Taiwan’s market (TWSE: 2330) and in the U.S. via the ADR (NYSE: TSM). In Taiwan, shares rallied back above a psychologically important milestone while the broader market printed fresh highs. In the U.S., the ADR hovered around the high-$200s as investors weighed the next earnings catalyst and a year-end policy deadline tied to U.S. export controls. What

Oracle Stock News and Forecast (ORCL) for Dec. 26, 2025: TikTok JV, $523B Backlog, and AI Spending in Focus

December 26, 2025 — Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) is closing out 2025 in a very Oracle kind of way: one part enterprise-software cash machine, one part AI infrastructure sprint, and one part political-regulatory soap opera thanks to TikTok. In the first full U.S. trading session after Christmas (following an early close on Dec. 24 and a market closure on Dec. 25), Oracle stock is hovering around the high-$190s and attempting to stabilize after a wild second half of the year. NASDAQ Trader But the real story isn’t today’s tick-by-tick. It’s the tug-of-war between (1) Oracle’s enormous contracted backlog and cloud
