Eternal Limited Stock (NSE: ETERNAL) News Today (17 December 2025): Jefferies Sticks With ₹480 Target, JM Financial Cuts to ₹400 as Quick-Commerce Competition Heats Up

Eternal Limited stock—traded on India’s National Stock Exchange as ETERNAL—is back in the spotlight on Wednesday, 17 December 2025, after a volatile stretch that has reignited a familiar debate: how much is India’s food-delivery and quick-commerce growth worth when competition keeps getting louder? Business Standard+1 Eternal (formerly Zomato Limited) runs four main businesses—Zomato (food delivery), Blinkit (quick commerce), District (going-out experiences), and Hyperpure (B2B supplies). That mix matters, because the stock’s near-term mood swings are often driven by Blinkit growth expectations and the market’s view on when spending-heavy expansion turns into durable profits.

Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (SGX: BS6) Stock: What Investors Need to Know on 17 Dec 2025 as Order Book Stays Near US$23 Billion and Analyst Targets Cluster Around S$3.80–S$4.10

Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) Ltd (SGX: BS6) has become one of Singapore’s most-watched industrial stocks in 2025 for a simple reason: the company is sitting on a multi‑year revenue pipeline while the global shipping industry is being pushed—by fuel economics, regulation and geopolitics—into a once‑in‑a‑generation fleet renewal cycle. On 17 December 2025, BS6 traded around the mid‑S$3.40s to S$3.40s, with Investing.com showing S$3.470 for the session (high S$3.480, low S$3.420) on volume of about 4.64 million shares.

On December 17, 2025, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited (OCBC, SGX: O39) is sitting in an interesting spot that long-term bank investors tend to love and fear in equal measure: the share price is near its recent highs, while the narrative has shifted from “rate-driven earnings boom” to “can fee income, wealth, and capital returns keep the story compelling as margins normalize?” OCBC shares were around the S$19.3–S$19.4 area on the day, with Investing.com showing S$19.36 for Dec 17, after trading between S$19.20 and S$19.45 (volume about 2.40 million) and a daily move of -0.41%.

Singtel Stock (SGX: Z74) Today: Latest News, Dividend Outlook, and Analyst Forecasts as of Dec. 17, 2025

SINGAPORE — Dec. 17, 2025. Singapore Telecommunications Limited (Singtel) shares are trading around the mid–S$4.50 range as investors weigh a familiar Singtel mix: resilient cash flows and shareholder returns on one side, and regulatory/operational risk—especially via Optus—on the other. google.com As of mid-afternoon Singapore time, Google Finance showed Singtel at about S$4.54, with a 52‑week range of roughly S$3.04 to S$4.92, and a trailing P/E near 12. The indicated dividend yield sits around 4%, though Singtel’s “core + value realisation” framework means the headline yield can shift with divestments, buybacks, and payout decisions. google.com+1 Below is what’s driving Singtel stock

Oracle Stock (ORCL) After Hours Today, Dec. 16, 2025: The $248 Billion “Lease Commitments” Question and What to Watch Before Wednesday’s Open

Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) shares finished Tuesday’s session on a firmer note after a bruising, headline-heavy stretch for the AI-infrastructure trade. The stock closed at $188.65, up 2.02% on Dec. 16 (16.12.2025), and traded without a dramatic new jolt in the early post-close window—suggesting investors are still digesting the same core debate: Oracle’s AI-driven growth opportunity vs. the financing and execution risk of building out massive data-center capacity fast enough to deliver it. MarketWatch What matters for the opening bell on Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2025 is whether today’s modest rebound becomes a base—or a pause—while markets continue to price the

Spotify Technology S.A.

On December 16, 2025, the streaming leader is hovering around the $578 level—close to its 52‑week peak—after a volatile stretch of news that included a major product partnership in South Korea, a U.S.-EU policy flare‑up that name‑checked Spotify, and a service outage that dented sentiment earlier in the week.

Renewable Energy Stocks Today (Dec. 16, 2025): Sunrun, Enphase, SolarEdge and First Solar in Focus

Renewable energy stocks in the U.S. are trading mixed in Tuesday’s session as investors balance a softer risk tone on Wall Street with a powerful long-term tailwind: rapidly rising electricity demand—especially from AI data centers—and the buildout of “time-to-power” infrastructure like utility-scale solar, battery storage, and distributed energy resources. By early afternoon in New York (around 1:45–2:30 p.m. ET), major indexes were lower, with energy among the weakest S&P 500 sectors as crude slid to its lowest level since 2021, according to Reuters. Reuters That macro setup matters for clean energy too: many renewable developers and equipment makers are highly sensitive to
