AppLovin (APP) Stock: Key News, Analyst Forecasts, and Risks to Know Before the Market Opens on Dec. 26, 2025

U.S. markets reopen on Friday, Dec. 26, 2025, after being closed for Christmas Day (Dec. 25)—and for a high-beta, headline-sensitive name like AppLovin Corporation (NASDAQ: APP), that “back-from-holiday” session can amplify volatility. New York Stock Exchange AppLovin enters the Dec. 26 open with a powerful tailwind: strong recent financial performance, a growing buyback program, and a wave of bullish analyst commentary tied to its AI-driven ad platform expansion. But there’s also a live overhang: regulatory scrutiny related to reported SEC interest in its data-collection practices, on top of a 2025 history that included short-seller allegations and sharp drawdowns.

Salesforce (CRM) Stock: Key News, Earnings Guidance, Analyst Forecasts, and Risks to Watch Before the Dec. 26, 2025 Market Open

Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE: CRM) heads into Friday’s post‑Christmas session with investors balancing two competing narratives: strong “agentic AI” momentum (and a fresh boost to full‑year guidance) versus the ongoing market debate over how quickly AI agents translate into durable, profitable growth at enterprise scale. Reuters U.S. equities resume regular trading hours on Friday, Dec. 26, 2025, after Christmas Day (Dec. 25) closed both NYSE and Nasdaq. The previous session (Dec. 24) was an early close—a detail that matters because holiday liquidity can exaggerate price moves and volumes. New York Stock Exchange Below is what to know before the opening bell.
Alibaba Stock (BABA) Before the Market Opens Dec. 26, 2025: Latest News, AI Chip Catalysts, Key Risks, and Analyst Targets

Alibaba Stock (BABA) Before the Market Opens Dec. 26, 2025: Latest News, AI Chip Catalysts, Key Risks, and Analyst Targets

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE: BABA; HKEX: 9988) heads into the Dec. 26, 2025 U.S. trading session with a familiar mix of powerful narrative and persistent friction: AI-driven cloud momentum on one side, and e-commerce price wars + geopolitics/regulation on the other. For investors looking to position ahead of Friday’s open, the “what matters most” list is unusually clear right now—because several of the biggest near-term catalysts are headline-driven, not spreadsheet-driven: U.S.-China chip policy, China’s tightening stance on platform pricing behavior, and the market’s appetite for “China AI” exposure as global investors hunt alternatives to a potentially overheated U.S. AI

Mastercard Stock (NYSE: MA): Key News, Analyst Forecasts, and What to Watch Before the Market Opens on Dec. 26, 2025

U.S. equities reopen for a full session on Friday, Dec. 26, 2025, after the Christmas holiday closure—despite the federal government’s holiday schedule for Dec. 24 and Dec. 26 not changing market hours. Reuters For Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE: MA), the day-after-holiday trade lands with a busy backdrop: fresh legal headlines around card fees, a newly boosted dividend and a sizable new buyback authorization, and a steady stream of product partnerships aimed at expanding beyond “just cards” into tokenization, identity, AI-enabled commerce, and blockchain-linked payment rails. Business Wire Below is what investors typically want in hand before the opening bell on Dec.
Azul S.A. Stock (AZULQ) Before the Dec. 26, 2025 Market Open: Latest News, Share Offering Details, Dilution Risk, and What to Watch

Azul S.A. Stock (AZULQ) Before the Dec. 26, 2025 Market Open: Latest News, Share Offering Details, Dilution Risk, and What to Watch

Azul S.A. heads into the Friday, December 26, 2025 session with its equity story dominated by restructuring mechanics, not day-to-day flight demand. In the past two weeks, the Brazilian airline’s Chapter 11 plan received U.S. court approval, and Azul moved to launch a large primary share offering in Brazil that is explicitly tied to converting debt into equity and raising fresh capital. Reuters For U.S.-based traders, the setup is even more complex because Azul’s U.S. listing changed in 2025: the company’s NYSE-traded ADSs were suspended and delisting proceedings began after the Chapter 11 filing, pushing the stock into an environment

Alphabet (GOOG) Class C Stock: Key News, Analyst Forecasts, and Risks to Watch Before the Market Opens Dec. 26, 2025

Alphabet Inc.’s Class C shares (NASDAQ: GOOG) head into the post‑Christmas reopening session with momentum, but also with a growing list of “big-ticket” variables investors will be re-pricing into year‑end positioning: AI infrastructure spending (and the power needed to run it), multiple antitrust fronts in the U.S. and Europe, and a deal pipeline that’s increasingly centered on cloud security and data‑center capacity. Below is what matters most before the U.S. stock market opens Friday, December 26, 2025.

NVIDIA (NVDA) Stock: Latest News, Analyst Forecasts, and Key Catalysts Ahead of the Dec. 26, 2025 Market Open

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) heads into Friday, December 26, 2025—the first U.S. trading session after the Christmas Day market closure—with investors weighing two fast-moving storylines that could drive premarket sentiment: NVIDIA’s non-exclusive inference-technology licensing deal with AI chip startup Groq and a politically charged reopening of part of the China market for NVIDIA’s H200 accelerators. With the company’s next major public milestones—including CES 2026 in early January and a scheduled earnings date in late February—the setup is less about “one headline” and more about how multiple catalysts and risks are converging at once. Below is what to know before the
Citigroup (C) News Today: Regulatory Progress, Banamex Sale, and Wall Street’s 2026 Outlook for Citi Stock

Citigroup (C) News Today: Regulatory Progress, Banamex Sale, and Wall Street’s 2026 Outlook for Citi Stock

NEW YORK — Dec. 25, 2025 — Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE: C) is closing out 2025 with a very different narrative than the one investors grew used to over the past decade: momentum. Citi shares last traded around $121.56 on Wednesday’s Christmas Eve session (Dec. 24), after moving between roughly $119.40 and $122.83, putting the stock near recent highs heading into the year-end holiday break. MarketBeat That price action matters because 2025 has increasingly been framed on Wall Street as “the Citi comeback year,” driven by a combination of turnaround execution, improving sentiment toward large U.S. banks, and—critically—fresh signs that Citi’s

Caterpillar (CAT) News and Stock Forecast for 2026: AI Data Center Power Tailwind, Mining Autonomy Deals, Tariff Risks and Key Analyst Calls (Dec. 25, 2025)

IRVING, Texas — December 25, 2025 — Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) closes out 2025 at the center of several powerful cross-currents: a surge in demand for on-site power tied to AI data centers, accelerating mining autonomy and electrification, a strategic push deeper into software, and a still-material cost overhang from tariffs—plus fresh legal risk in compact equipment. Reuters With U.S. markets shut for Christmas Day, the most recent trading snapshot is from Dec. 24, 2025, when Caterpillar shares closed at $583.76 (early close session).

AMD Stock News Today (Dec. 25, 2025): China AI Chip Exports, OpenAI’s 6‑Gigawatt Deal, Zen 6 Signals, and Wall Street Forecasts

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD) heads into the final week of 2025 with two narratives pulling investor attention in opposite directions: accelerating demand for AI infrastructure outside the hyperscalers—and tightening, politically charged rules around what high-end compute can be shipped into China. On a quiet Christmas Day for markets, the AMD story is still moving: export licensing and “fee” frameworks are evolving, large China-based buyers are reportedly evaluating significant orders, and AMD’s own roadmap messaging continues to steer toward rack-scale systems and multi-year AI deployments with marquee partners. AMD stock: where shares stand heading into year-end U.S. markets were

BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) Stock News Today: Ethereum Treasury Hits 4.066M ETH, 50B Share Vote Ahead, and Fresh Price Targets (Dec. 25, 2025)

BitMine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: BMNR) has become one of the market’s strangest (and most talked-about) hybrids: part crypto-treasury vehicle, part operating business, and increasingly a high-volatility proxy for Ethereum—with corporate actions that can matter as much as the coin price itself. With U.S. markets closed for Christmas Day, today’s “BMNR stock” conversation is really about what investors learned in the final holiday-shortened stretch—especially BitMine’s latest Ethereum hoard update, an upcoming shareholder vote that could dramatically expand dilution capacity, and a widening gap between bullish and bearish valuation models. Below is a detailed roundup of current news, forecasts, and

Below is a full roundup of the latest Rocket Lab stock news, forecasts, and analysis as of Dec. 25, 2025, plus what investors are watching next.
