Why Super Micro (SMCI) stock is down today: an exec retirement filing meets year-end AI trade

Why Super Micro (SMCI) stock is down today: an exec retirement filing meets year-end AI trade

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:16 ET — Regular session Super Micro Computer, Inc. shares fell 1.7% to $29.15 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, after a regulatory filing showed the AI server maker’s head of operations will retire at year-end. The stock traded between $29.12 and $29.86. The timing matters because Super Micro’s customers care less about buzzwords and more about delivery schedules, power draw and cooling. Any hint of execution risk can move the stock quickly, especially into year-end when liquidity thins and position-squaring can exaggerate swings. The company said Senior Vice President of Operations George Kao will retire

Nebius stock dips as insiders flag share sales in SEC filings

Nebius stock dips as insiders flag share sales in SEC filings

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:20 ET — Regular session Nebius Group N.V. shares slipped on Wednesday as investors weighed insider notices to sell stock. The Nasdaq-listed shares were down about 1.9% at $83.59 in afternoon trading. The filings hit during year-end trading, when liquidity is typically thin and moves can be exaggerated. Nebius, a Netherlands-based data center operator, has drawn outsized attention as a “neocloud” provider — a firm that rents out high-end computing power for AI — after landing multi-billion-dollar infrastructure contracts with Microsoft and Meta Platforms. Reuters That backdrop makes insider supply a live issue, even when

Qualcomm stock slips in year-end trade as chip shares cool; what QCOM investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:13 ET — Regular session QUALCOMM Incorporated shares slipped in afternoon trading on Wednesday, underperforming the broader semiconductor group as U.S. stocks edged lower in holiday-thin year-end trading. The final session of the year often brings portfolio rebalancing and profit-taking — selling to lock in gains — which can amplify moves even when there is little company-specific news. Wall Street’s main indexes were slightly lower on the day, with technology shares dipping as traders looked ahead to 2026, Reuters reported. Reuters At 3:13 p.m. ET, Qualcomm was down $1.79, or about 1.0%, at $171.86 after

Western Digital stock slips today: WDC pulls back in year-end trade after leading S&P 500 in 2025

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:14 ET — Regular session Western Digital Corp (WDC.O) shares fell about 2.5% to $171.62 by 3:14 p.m. ET on Wednesday, the market’s final session of 2025.

Barron’s Why it matters now: Western Digital has become a heavily owned way to play the buildout of AI-focused data centers, and year-end portfolio rebalancing can amplify moves. Holiday-thinned

Carvana stock slips in thin year-end trade as Wall Street drifts lower

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:04 ET — Regular session Carvana Co. shares were down 1.5% at $423.29 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, extending a choppy finish to the year for one of 2025’s biggest gainers. The stock’s decline came as U.S. equities inched lower in the final trading session of 2025, with technology shares weighing on benchmarks in light, holiday-thinned volume. Reuters Thin liquidity — how easily shares can be bought and sold without moving the price — can amplify swings in high-beta stocks, which tend to move more than the wider market. “It’s perfectly fine in any bull

Freedom Holding stock today: FRHC slides 3% in year-end session as markets drift lower

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:07 ET — Regular session Freedom Holding Corp (FRHC) shares fell about 3% on Wednesday, sliding to $121.99 in afternoon trading after touching an intraday low of $121.64. The drop lands on Wall Street’s final session of 2025, when trading often thins out as investors close books and rebalance portfolios. In a low-liquidity market — meaning fewer buyers and sellers to absorb trades — smaller orders can move prices more than usual. U.S. stocks drifted lower in holiday-thin trading, with tech weighing on the major indexes. “It’s perfectly fine in any bull market to have

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:52 ET — Regular session ServiceNow shares edged lower on Wednesday as investors pared risk in thin year-end trading on Wall Street. The enterprise software maker’s stock was down about 0.3% at $153.81. The muted move came as major U.S. indexes drifted lower in the final session of 2025, with technology stocks slightly weaker on the day. “I do not expect that the last few days will have so much bearing on the performance of the next year,” Giuseppe Sette, co-founder and president of Reflexivity, said, pointing to profit-taking when liquidity is low.

GlobalFoundries (GFS) stock slides after Wedbush downgrade warns chip downturn will last longer

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:25 ET — Regular session Shares of GlobalFoundries Inc (GFS) fell 2.6% to $35.17 by 2:25 p.m. ET on Wednesday after Wedbush downgraded the contract chipmaker, pressuring the stock on the year’s final trading day. The shares touched $35.03 at the session low. The downgrade lands as investors try to pin down when demand will rebound across consumer electronics, industrial gear and autos — end markets that drive factory loadings for chipmakers. For GlobalFoundries, the timing matters because its business depends on keeping fabs busy; when customers cut orders, lower utilization means more fixed costs

Exxon Mobil stock slips today as oil heads for biggest annual drop since 2020

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:11 ET — Regular session. Exxon Mobil (XOM) shares edged lower on Wednesday, down 0.6% at $120.22 in afternoon trade, after moving between $119.87 and $121.49. The muted move still mattered on the final trading day of the year, with oil prices on track for their steepest annual decline since 2020 and investors recalibrating expectations for 2026 cash flow across the sector. For integrated oil majors like Exxon, small changes in crude prices and refinery profitability can swing sentiment quickly, especially in holiday-thinned trading when liquidity is lighter.

GE Vernova stock today: GEV edges lower in thin year-end trade as Wall Street dips

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:15 ET — Regular session. GE Vernova Inc. shares edged lower on Wednesday, sliding about 0.4% to $657.30 in afternoon trading as investors pared risk into the final session of 2025. The stock traded between $647.71 and $666.30. The move matters because GE Vernova has become a high-profile way to play rising spending on power generation and grid equipment, a theme tied to the buildout of electricity-hungry data centers. Into year-end, small shifts in positioning can move even large-cap stocks. With the New Year holiday set to interrupt trading and investors rebalancing portfolios, GE Vernova’s

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:38 ET — Regular session Vanda Pharmaceuticals shares jumped 28.1% to $9.01 at 1:38 p.m. ET on Wednesday after the company said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Nereus (tradipitant) to prevent vomiting induced by motion. Vanda said the oral drug is a neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor antagonist — meaning it blocks a receptor involved in nausea signaling — and called it the first new pharmacologic motion-sickness treatment in more than four decades. In late-stage Phase 3 trials — the final stage before approval — vomiting rates were about 10%–20% on Nereus versus 38%–44% on
