Seagate stock edges lower as year-end AI trade cools; STX turns to January earnings

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 15:01 ET — Regular session Seagate Technology Holdings plc shares were down 0.2% at $280.77 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, drifting after a year when the hard-drive maker became a marquee bet on AI-linked data-center spending. The stock has traded between $280.19 and $284.09 so far in the session, with about 694,000 shares changing hands.

Vera Therapeutics stock drops 3% today as biotech slips into year-end trading

Vera Therapeutics stock drops 3% today as biotech slips into year-end trading

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 2:26 PM ET — Regular session Vera Therapeutics, Inc. shares slid 3.4% to $50.45 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, giving back some recent gains as biotech stocks softened late in the year. The move matters now because Vera has become a bellwether “event-driven” biotech name, where day-to-day trading can swing sharply as investors calibrate risk around FDA timelines and competitive positioning in kidney disease. Thin year-end liquidity can amplify those swings, and traders have been quick to trim exposure to smaller, higher-beta healthcare names when the sector loses momentum. Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s December

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:32 ET — Regular session Spotify Technology S.A. (NYSE: SPOT) shares were down about 0.6% at $577.84 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, after swinging between $576.69 and $584.52. The stock’s drift came as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq were subdued in choppy, year-end trading, with investors awaiting the Fed’s December meeting minutes later in the day. “It’s just a healthy rebalancing of allocations more so than an emotionally driven sell-off,” said Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide. Reuters For Spotify, the timing matters because the market’s appetite for growth stocks often moves with interest-rate

OpenAI’s Altman and Palantir’s Karp take on short sellers, echoing Elon Musk’s playbookNEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 08:48 ET

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Palantir Technologies CEO Alex Karp have sharpened their criticism of short sellers, lining up with Elon Musk’s long-running fights with traders who bet against his companies. Altman said he sometimes wished OpenAI were public so skeptics could short its stock, adding: “I would love to see them get burned on that,” according to a Dec. 29 Business Insider report.

Why Caterpillar stock is riding an AI data-center generator boom

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 08:26 ET Demand for Caterpillar’s natural-gas generators to power artificial intelligence (AI) data centers is increasingly driving its shares, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, describing the stock as up about 62% this year. One Utah project led by Joule Capital Partners is set to use more than 700 Caterpillar generators to support six data centers, the paper said. The Journal said Caterpillar is investing $725 million to expand a Lafayette, Indiana plant and plans to more than double turbine-engine production by 2030 after power-and-energy sales rose 22% to $7.8 billion in 2024.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 06:43 ET — Premarket Kenon Holdings Ltd (NYSE: KEN) shares closed 3.7% higher at $66.69 on Monday after touching $67, a fresh 52-week high, on slightly above-average volume, LSEG data showed.
