Micron stock pulls back from record close as Fed minutes, AI memory crunch stay in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 4:12 PM ET — After-hours Micron Technology, Inc. shares ended down 0.6% on Tuesday at $292.74, a day after the memory-chip maker finished at a record $294.37. The stock traded between $298.53 and $292.03 during the session. The dip matters because Micron has become a key gauge for the industry’s newest bottleneck: high-bandwidth memory, a fast type of DRAM used in AI systems. The iShares Semiconductor ETF was little changed on the day. A shifting mix of demand is driving the debate. Research firm IDC said major suppliers have redirected capacity toward AI data-center parts

Nvidia stock dips after AI21 Labs talk report as NVDA investors size up Intel stake

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 16:03 ET — After-hours Nvidia (NVDA.O) shares edged lower on Tuesday after a report said the AI-chip leader is in advanced talks to buy Israel-based AI startup AI21 Labs in a deal estimated at $2 billion to $3 billion. The stock ended the regular session down about 0.3% at $187.65. Reuters+1 The report matters because Nvidia has been pushing deeper into the broader AI stack — not just chips, but the software and talent that help companies build and run AI systems.

Meta stock closes up on Manus AI agent deal — what investors are watching next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 16:04 ET — After-hours Meta Platforms, Inc. shares closed higher on Tuesday after the Facebook owner said it would acquire Chinese-founded artificial intelligence startup Manus, a move that put fresh focus on the company’s push into advanced AI features. Meta ended the regular session at $666.49, up 1.2%. Yahoo Finance+1 The purchase matters because “AI agents” — software designed to carry out multi-step tasks with limited instructions — are emerging as the next battleground for consumer and business AI, and investors are looking for clear product paths rather than research demos.

Tesla stock today: TSLA slips after company posts delivery-consensus table ahead of Friday numbers

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 16:07 ET — After-hours Tesla shares fell about 0.8% on Tuesday to $455.75 after the electric-vehicle maker published a company-compiled analyst consensus that points to a weaker fourth-quarter delivery count. The timing matters: Tesla is expected to report its official fourth-quarter and full-year production and delivery tally on Friday (Jan. 2), and analysts expect a year-over-year decline after U.S. tax credits expired in September. Tesla’s cheaper “Standard” versions of the Model Y and Model 3, launched in October, have not erased worries about demand and competition.

Synopsys stock slips today as SNPS faces lawsuit deadline in thin year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 15:44 ET — Regular session Synopsys shares were down $3.06, or 0.6%, at $475.91 in late-afternoon trade, after moving between $472.05 and $483.14 on the day. The chip-design software company sells electronic design automation tools — software used to design and verify semiconductors — and its stock has been sensitive to shifts in AI-linked tech sentiment into year-end. That sensitivity is getting tested on a holiday-thinned session when small headlines can drive outsized moves. “It’s just a healthy rebalancing of allocations more so than an emotionally driven sell-off,” said Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at

Terns Pharmaceuticals stock slides today, testing the $40 level after December share sale

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 15:30 ET — Regular session. Shares of Terns Pharmaceuticals, Inc. fell 2.8% to $40.34 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, after swinging between $39.99 and $41.98. The pullback puts the stock back around $40, the price used in the company’s recent upsized equity offering — a level traders often watch after a big deal resets supply and demand. That matters now because Terns’ December financing and trial update put new attention on how quickly the biotech can turn early leukemia data into larger studies, while also giving it a much longer cash runway. Biotech shares were

Bloom Energy stock slips today as Clear Street lifts target but keeps Hold in thin year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 15:25 ET — Regular session Bloom Energy Corp shares fell on Tuesday as year-end positioning and a soft tape for growth stocks kept pressure on the fuel-cell maker. The stock was down 1.7% at $86.93 in afternoon trading. The move matters because trading volumes have stayed light in the holiday-truncated week, which can amplify intraday swings in volatile names. U.S. stocks were subdued in choppy trade, with gains in communication services capped by declines in technology and financials, Reuters reported.
