MENLO PARK / NEW YORK — December 14, 2025 — Robinhood Markets, Inc.

Apple Stock (AAPL) News and Forecasts for December 14, 2025: iPhone 17 Momentum, 2026 AI Catalysts, and Wall Street Price Targets

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) enters the week of December 15 with investor attention split between two powerful narratives: a strong iPhone 17-led cycle and rising expectations that Apple will “show its AI hand” in 2026, including a more capable Siri. At the same time, ongoing regulatory and legal battles—from the App Store to EU digital rules—remain a steady overhang for the world’s most closely watched consumer-tech stock. Below is a comprehensive look at the latest Apple stock price backdrop, today’s key developments (as of Sunday, December 14, 2025), and the forecasts investors are watching most closely.

Pfizer Stock (PFE) Outlook: This Week’s Key Headlines, Dividend Update, and What to Watch Ahead of 2026 Guidance (Updated Dec. 14, 2025)

Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) heads into the new trading week with investors balancing two very different storylines: a steady, high-yield “value pharma” profile versus a news-driven catalyst tape around obesity deals, oncology data, cost cuts, and shifting U.S. COVID-vaccine policy. As of the latest close, Pfizer shares were around $25.85. With markets closed on Sunday (Dec. 14), the next big directional test arrives quickly: Pfizer’s analyst and investor call on Tuesday, Dec. 16, where management is scheduled to provide full-year 2026 financial guidance.

Crypto Millennials: Bitcoin’s $90K Whiplash, ETF-Driven Forecasts, and the Week Banks Moved Closer to Crypto

From student-loan repayments and childcare costs to buying a first home (or deciding they can’t), millennials are juggling the most complex “adult money” era in decades. And yet, crypto remains one of the most millennial financial habits—part conviction, part rebellion, part hedge, part FOMO. The past week (December 8–14, 2025) delivered a snapshot of why: crypto prices swung hard, big-name forecasts got cut, and regulators nudged traditional banking deeper into digital assets—all while social platforms continued to shape how younger adults learn (and mislearn) money. If you’re a millennial building wealth, the message from this week’s headlines is clear: crypto is

Carvana Stock (CVNA) This Week and Week Ahead: S&P 500 Inclusion, Fresh $550 Target, and the Catalysts That Could Drive Volatility (Updated Dec. 14, 2025)

Updated: Sunday, Dec. 14, 2025 (U.S. markets closed)Carvana Co. (NYSE: CVNA) ended the last trading session (Friday, Dec. 12) at $455.68, after a wild, headline-driven week that pushed the stock to an intraday high of $485.27. The big narrative hasn’t changed: Carvana’s upcoming S&P 500 addition has poured fuel on an already powerful momentum trade—while the fundamentals story (profitability, scale, and improving credit profile) continues to give bulls something sturdier than vibes. The next few sessions, however, could be especially noisy: major U.S. economic data, options expiration, and S&P 500 “index effect” positioning are all stacking up at the same

EV & Clean Energy Leaders: US Stocks Week Ahead (Dec. 15–19, 2025) — Tesla, Rivian, NextEra, Solar and Grid Tech in Focus

Updated: December 14, 2025 US-listed EV and clean energy leaders enter the new week with a rare mix of tailwinds and tripwires: a fresh Federal Reserve rate cut that should support long-duration growth stocks, a catch-up “data deluge” after the fall government shutdown, and a policy backdrop that’s now the single biggest swing factor for renewables and EV demand. The story of Dec. 8–14 wasn’t just about individual tickers—it was about the new hierarchy of catalysts: (1) US demand signals after the EV tax-credit reset, (2) whether Big Tech’s power appetite accelerates clean power buildouts or pulls capital toward gas

Defense & Aerospace Majors: US Stocks Week Ahead (Dec 15–19, 2025) — Boeing, Lockheed, RTX, Northrop, General Dynamics, L3Harris & HII in Focus (Updated Dec 14, 2025)

Defense and aerospace majors head into the week of December 15–19, 2025 with three powerful forces colliding: a new U.S. rate-cut backdrop, a Washington policy catalyst as Congress races toward year-end, and a fast-moving shift in Pentagon priorities toward AI-enabled procurement and production speed. The result is a sector that still looks “defensive” in name, but is increasingly being traded like a mix of industrial momentum + geopolitical hedge + technology platform. Below is what mattered most for US-listed defense and aerospace names from Dec 8–14, 2025, and what investors are likely to watch next week. The week that just

Cybersecurity US Stocks Week Ahead (Dec. 15–19, 2025): Zscaler’s Bounce Test, SailPoint’s Post-Earnings Reset, and Fed-Cut Volatility

Updated Sunday, December 14, 2025 (market data through the Dec. 12 close). US cybersecurity stocks head into the new week after a volatile stretch that mixed a dovish Federal Reserve rate cut with a sudden risk-off pulse in megacap tech—an uncomfortable combination for a sector that often trades like “defensive growth.” The result: investors are still rewarding high-quality recurring revenue and platform narratives, but they’re also getting more selective on valuation, guidance tone, and “AI spending” second-order effects. Below is what moved major US-listed cybersecurity names between Dec. 8–14, 2025, and what to watch next week across CrowdStrike (CRWD), Palo

Software & SaaS US Stocks Week Ahead (Dec 15–19, 2025): Oracle’s AI Capex Shock, Adobe’s AI Lift, and Deal-Making Signals Investors Are Watching

Updated: Sunday, December 14, 2025 Software and SaaS stocks head into the new week with a familiar tailwind—lower interest rates—but a newly sharpened investor filter: prove the AI spend pays back, and prove it soon. The past seven days (Dec. 8–14) delivered a concentrated mix of catalysts for US-listed software names: a major M&A splash (IBM’s $11 billion agreement to buy Confluent), a mega-cap guidance jolt (Oracle), a beat-and-raise from a marquee creator platform (Adobe), and a late-week fresh deal rumor that could reshape cybersecurity workflows (ServiceNow reportedly nearing a deal for Armis).
