JPMorgan slashes KB Home target to $50 as Wall Street flags weaker 2026 returns

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:18 ET JPMorgan Chase cut its price target on KB Home to $50 from $71 and kept a Neutral rating on the homebuilder on Monday, according to a report carried by TheFly. TipRanks The call is the latest sign that analysts are recalibrating expectations for U.S. homebuilders as weaker demand and heavier incentives squeeze margins heading into 2026.

Why Goldman Sachs stock is weighing on the Dow in 2025’s final week

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 11:41 ET — Regular session Goldman Sachs shares slid on Monday, underperforming most big U.S. lenders and weighing on the Dow as year-end trading stayed choppy. The stock was down 1.1% at $896.74 in late-morning trade. The move mattered because markets are entering the final three sessions of the year with liquidity thin and investors quick to lock in gains or manage taxes. Wall Street’s main indexes eased from recent highs as technology and materials stocks retreated, Reuters reported. Reuters For banks, the rate outlook is back in focus. U.S. Treasury yields edged lower as

IonQ stock slips as Korea’s KISTI finalizes 100-qubit quantum system deal

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 11:38 ET — Regular session Shares of IonQ Inc fell 1.7% to $45.22 in late-morning trading on Monday after the quantum computing company said it finalized an agreement with South Korea’s Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) to deliver a 100-qubit system. IonQ Investors The announcement matters because hardware deliveries are a visible test of whether quantum-computing developers can turn research partnerships into paid deployments of machines that cost far more than typical cloud subscriptions. IonQ is one of a small set of U.S.-listed pure plays that can swing sharply on contract headlines.

Walmart stock bucks tech-led slide as Vizio ad push comes back into focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 11:28 ET — Regular session Walmart Inc’s shares rose on Monday, bucking a pullback in U.S. stocks that was led by heavyweight technology names. Reuters The move matters now because trading is thinning into year-end, when investors often rotate toward steadier, defensive names as they lock in gains and trim risk. The broader market has been wrestling with whether a seasonal “Santa Claus rally” can hold without more help from tech. Reuters For Walmart, the tape is also reflecting a debate over what drives the next leg of earnings growth: core grocery-led traffic, or higher-margin
CoreWeave stock slips with AI-linked tech as year-end rally cools

CoreWeave stock slips with AI-linked tech as year-end rally cools

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 11:17 ET — Regular session CoreWeave Inc shares fell about 1% on Monday, sliding to $75.62 in late-morning trading after a choppy open. The Nvidia-backed cloud provider has become a proxy for investor sentiment toward the build-out of computing infrastructure needed for artificial intelligence, and the stock has tended to move with swings in big tech. Reuters+1 The pullback comes in the final week of 2025, when trading can be thin and moves can be exaggerated. Wall Street also started the week on the back foot, putting the seasonal “Santa Claus rally” — a pattern

Citi stock slides in thin year-end trade as rate-cut bets return to focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:56 ET — Regular session Citigroup Inc shares fell about 1.4% to $118.75 on Monday morning, underperforming a softer U.S. financial sector. The move comes in the final full trading week of 2025, when light holiday volumes and portfolio rebalancing can magnify day-to-day swings. Reuters Investors are also recalibrating bets on the Federal Reserve’s 2026 path after this month’s rate cut, with money markets pricing further easing into next year. Reuters That matters for banks because their net interest margin — the spread between what they earn on loans and pay on deposits — can
Sandisk stock slides 4% as weekend rating trim dents year-end trade

Sandisk stock slides 4% as weekend rating trim dents year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:44 ET — Regular session Key points Sandisk Corp shares fell 4.3% to $239.37 on Monday, after swinging between $236.64 and $249.84 in early trading. The drop matters because Sandisk has been one of 2025’s standout gainers, leaving the stock more sensitive to shifts in sentiment and analyst calls into year-end. Kiplinger listed Sandisk as the S&P 500’s top performer for 2025, with a roughly sixfold rise. Kiplinger The pullback also lands in a seasonally quiet week, with U.S. markets closed Thursday for New Year’s Day and investors watching Tuesday’s Federal Reserve minutes for clues
Coinbase dips after Needham slashes target, flags weak crypto trading volumes

Coinbase dips after Needham slashes target, flags weak crypto trading volumes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:46 ET — Regular session Shares of Coinbase Global fell on Monday after Needham and Company lowered its price target for the cryptocurrency exchange operator, citing continued softness in crypto trading volumes. TipRanks The call matters because Coinbase’s revenue is closely tied to customer activity, which typically cools when crypto prices lose momentum and retail trading fades. TipRanks It also lands in a year-end stretch when liquidity is thinner and investors are quick to fade riskier, high-beta stocks while waiting for fresh signals on interest rates and risk appetite. Reuters+1 Coinbase shares were down about

Robinhood slips after Needham trims target to $135 as crypto-linked stocks ease

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:13 ET — Regular session Robinhood Markets, Inc. shares slipped on Monday after Needham & Company lowered its price target, a modest reset in expectations for a stock that has been sensitive to shifts in outlook for retail trading. MarketBeat The call matters now because Robinhood sits at the center of two volatile profit drivers — active trading and crypto — as investors head toward year-end positioning and into a new earnings cycle. Small changes in assumptions about customer activity can ripple through forecasts. Reuters It also lands as crypto prices soften, a factor that

Rocket Lab stock rebounds as year-end turbulence keeps Space Force contract in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:17 ET — Regular session Rocket Lab Corp shares rose 2.4% to $72.36 by 10:11 a.m. ET on Monday, a bounce after last week’s sharp swings. MarketBeat The move matters because Rocket Lab’s stock has been whipsawed by defense-contract headlines into year-end, a period when thin volumes can exaggerate price moves. Shares jumped 17.7% on Dec. 19 and nearly 10% on Dec. 22 before sliding 8.5% on Friday, historical pricing showed. Observer News Enterprise Investors are still digesting what the company’s latest Space Development Agency award could mean for Rocket Lab’s push beyond its small-launch

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 09:41 ET — Regular session Apple shares edged lower in early New York trading on Monday, slipping about 0.2% to $273.40. The pullback comes as heavyweight technology stocks give back some ground after last week’s gains pushed the S&P 500 to fresh highs and left it within about 1% of the 7,000 mark, Reuters reported. Reuters Why it matters now: trading volumes are expected to be light in the holiday-affected week, with U.S. markets shut on Thursday for New Year’s Day. Some investors had been looking for a “Santa Claus rally” — a seasonal tendency

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 09:35 ET — Regular session Nvidia shares were down about 1.4% at $187.92 in early U.S. trading on Monday after Intel disclosed details of a $5 billion share sale to the AI chipmaker.
