Shopify Stock (SHOP) Today: UBS Sees 15–20% Growth Potential as Temu App and AI Upgrades Shape the 2026 Outlook

December 15, 2025 — Shopify Inc. (NASDAQ: SHOP; TSX: SHOP) stock traded lower on Monday as investors weighed a fresh round of analyst commentary, new ecosystem headlines, and the company’s broader push to turn AI into a commerce growth engine. SHOP was last seen around $161–$163, down roughly 1%–2% on the session after an intraday run that previously touched the high-$160s. Investing.com+1 While day-to-day volatility is nothing new for high-multiple software names, the current debate around Shopify stock is sharpening into a familiar split: bulls point to accelerating commerce enablement (AI, enterprise, payments, international), while skeptics focus on valuation risk

Copper Price Today (Dec. 15, 2025, 3:30 PM EST): Copper Holds Near $5.42/lb as LME Prices Stay Close to Record Highs and 2026 Forecasts Shift

Copper prices are back in focus heading into the final stretch of 2025, with the “red metal” hovering near record territory after a sharp run-up and an equally sharp bout of volatility late last week. As of the latest mid‑afternoon pricing available, benchmark COMEX copper futures (most‑active contract) traded around $5.4185 per pound, up about 1.1% on the day, with the day’s range roughly $5.3433–$5.5192, according to Investing.com’s derived real-time feed. Investing.com In London, copper is still being priced like a market wrestling with two competing stories: (1) tightness and inventory distortions linked to U.S. stockpiling and (2) macro and China-demand anxiety that can knock prices around quickly.

Arista Networks (ANET) Stock Today (Dec. 15, 2025): Price Rebound, Fresh Wall Street Forecasts, and the 2026 Catalysts Investors Are Watching

Arista Networks, Inc. (NYSE: ANET) started the week with a bounce after a bruising end to last week—an important setup for investors trying to separate short-term volatility from longer-term AI and cloud networking demand. As of the latest available market update on December 15, 2025, ANET was trading around $126.42, up roughly 1.33% on the day, with the session ranging from about $123.55 to $127.35. That gain follows Friday’s sharp decline, when ANET fell 7.17% (per Investing.com’s daily historical pricing). Investing.com Even after Monday’s rebound, Arista remains well below its 52-week high of $164.94—a reminder that 2025’s “AI infrastructure trade”

McDonald’s Stock (NYSE: MCD) Today: Dividend Day, Analyst Targets, and 2026 Growth Outlook (Dec. 15, 2025)

McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE: MCD) enters the new week with a theme investors have heard all year—but one that’s still proving durable: when consumers get more price-sensitive, scale, value, and operational consistency can matter more than trendier growth stories. On Monday, Dec. 15, McDonald’s shares were trading around $317 with a tight intraday range, reflecting a market that appears more focused on “steady and predictable” than “high beta.” At the same time, today is a meaningful date for income-focused holders: McDonald’s dividend payment—boosted earlier this quarter—hits shareholder accounts.

Circle Internet Group Stock (NYSE: CRCL) Drops on Dec. 15, 2025 as Interop Labs Deal and OCC Charter News Reset the Narrative

Circle Internet Group stock (NYSE: CRCL) slid sharply in Monday trading, a reminder that “crypto-adjacent” equities can swing hard even when the headlines look positive. Shares were trading around $76, down roughly 9% on the day, after opening near $83–$84 and touching an intraday low around $75. StockAnalysis+1 That move arrives as investors digest two closely timed developments that matter to Circle’s long-term thesis—but also complicate the near-term story: a new cross-chain acquisition agreement announced today, and a major U.S. regulatory milestone (conditional OCC approval for a national trust charter) disclosed late last week.

ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE: NOW) is in the spotlight on December 15, 2025, after a sharp selloff that pushed the enterprise software leader to one of its steepest declines in months. The trigger: reports that ServiceNow is in advanced talks to buy IoT/OT cybersecurity firm Armis in a deal that could reach $7 billion, alongside a notable KeyBanc downgrade that amplified an already jittery debate about how AI could reshape (and potentially disrupt) traditional SaaS economics.

Fiserv (FISV) Stock Today, Dec. 15, 2025: Latest News, Forecasts, and Analyst Outlook

Fiserv, Inc. stock is back in the spotlight on Monday, December 15, 2025, as investors balance two competing narratives: a stream of legal headlines tied to the company’s late-October collapse, and a set of forward-looking forecasts that still point to Clover as a rare pocket of strength inside a business that’s trying to rebuild credibility. As of late morning in New York, Fiserv shares were trading around the high-$60s (about $68–$69), after the stock’s historic re-pricing in October and a volatile early-December stretch.

As of 11:30 a.m. EST on Dec. 15, 2025, the crypto market is starting the week under pressure, with Bitcoin sliding into the mid-$86,000s and Ethereum hovering around the $3,000 level after a volatile stretch that has traders watching key technical zones and macro catalysts closely.

Bitcoin Price Today (Dec. 15, 2025, 11:30 a.m. ET): BTC Slides Toward $86K as Liquidations Hit, While Traders Watch ETF Flows and Central Banks

As of 11:30 a.m. ET on Monday, December 15, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) was trading around $86,450, down roughly 2.9% on the session, after printing an intraday range that has stretched from about $86,454 to $89,948.

Akamai Technologies (AKAM) Stock Jumps After KeyBanc Double Upgrade to Overweight and $115 Target — Edge Compute Momentum Takes Center Stage (Dec. 15, 2025)

Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM) is getting a jolt of Wall Street adrenaline on Monday, December 15, 2025, with the stock rising about 4% in intraday trading. Shares were recently around $89.33, up roughly $3.45 from the prior close. The day’s move is being widely tied to a notable analyst reversal: KeyBanc double-upgraded Akamai to Overweight from Underweight and lifted its price target to $115 from $66, arguing that Akamai’s revenue profile can accelerate as the business continues shifting toward compute. Investing.com+1 That framing matters because Akamai’s investment narrative has been evolving in public view: from “legacy CDN giant” to

Applied Digital (APLD) and the AI Data Center Power Crunch: $16B Backlog, New Buildouts, and the Utilities Rush (Dec. 15, 2025)

The global race to scale artificial intelligence is no longer just about who can secure the most advanced GPUs. Increasingly, it’s about who can secure the hardest inputs of all: grid-ready power, purpose-built data centers, and financing that can survive multi-year construction timelines. That shift is pushing Applied Digital Corporation (NASDAQ: APLD) into the spotlight. The company has positioned itself as a builder and operator of high-density, liquid-cooled “AI factories” — specialized data centers designed to handle modern AI training and inference workloads — and it’s doing it with long-term leases that are starting to look like a prized form
