AI Stocks Today (Dec. 18, 2025): Nvidia, Microsoft, Broadcom and Micron Rebound as Inflation Cools and OpenAI’s Mega-Round Talk Raises the Stakes

Updated: Dec. 18, 2025 (4:15 PM EST) AI stocks ended Thursday with a sharp rebound after a bruising stretch that revived “AI bubble” fears across semiconductors and mega-cap tech.

TradingView+2Reuters+2 By the close, Wall Street’s tech-heavy leadership reasserted itself. The S&P 500 rose 0.78% to 6,773.91, the Nasdaq Composite gained 1.37% to 23,004.92, and

Gold prices cooled slightly Thursday but stayed close to record territory after a softer-than-expected U.S. inflation print shifted rate expectations again—supportive for non-yielding bullion—while simultaneously undermining gold’s role as an inflation hedge. Spot gold was last trading around the $4,330–$4,335/oz area in late afternoon U.S. dealing, while U.S. gold futures hovered in the mid-$4,360s.

FactSet Research Systems Inc. (NYSE: FDS) delivered a “beat-and-dip” kind of morning on Thursday, December 18, 2025: the company topped Wall Street expectations for revenue and adjusted earnings in its fiscal first quarter, reaffirmed full‑year guidance, and expanded its share repurchase authorization to $1 billion—yet the stock fell sharply in trading. The Motley Fool+3GlobeNewswire+3Reuters+3 That tension captures the current mood around FactSet stock: investors are weighing steady subscription growth and durable retention against margin pressure from heavier technology/content spending—and the broader anxiety that AI tools could reshape the financial information market faster than incumbents can monetize the shift.

Inspire Medical Systems (INSP) Stock Plunges on Medicare Coding Reversal: Latest News, Analyst Forecasts, and What Investors Are Watching
