Anglo American plc Stock (LON: AAL) on Dec. 24, 2025: Teck Merger Momentum, Copper-Led Tailwinds, and the Next Big Catalysts

Anglo American plc shares are heading into the Christmas break with three storylines colliding in the most “mining-sector” way possible: a copper price sprint to fresh records, a mega-merger sprinting through approvals, and a portfolio clean-up that’s steadily turning Anglo into a simpler, more copper-heavy business. As of the last full London session before the holiday closures, Anglo American traded around 2,993p (GBX), up ~3% over five days and ~11.5% since the start of 2025, according to market data published late Dec. 23.

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Stock After Hours Today, Dec. 23, 2025: Paramount’s $30 Bid Still “Not Sufficient,” Netflix Deal Still Preferred — What to Know Before the Dec. 24 Open

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. Series A (NASDAQ: WBD) is ending Tuesday, December 23, 2025 with its share price pinned near a headline number that now dominates nearly every conversation around the stock: $30 per share. After the closing bell, WBD investors are weighing fresh reporting and commentary from major shareholders on Paramount Skydance’s amended all‑cash takeover offer—and the reality that WBD’s board is still backing Netflix’s competing transaction. With U.S. markets set for an early close on Wednesday (Dec. 24), the next session could also see thinner liquidity and sharper price swings than usual. WBD stock price check: where Warner

Clearwater Analytics (CWAN) Stock After Hours: Take-Private Deal Keeps Shares Pinned Near $24 — What to Watch Before the Market Opens Dec. 24, 2025

Clearwater Analytics Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CWAN) finished Tuesday, December 23, 2025, in “deal-trade” mode — and that’s still the story after the bell. With the company now under a signed agreement to be acquired for $24.55 per share in cash, CWAN’s upside is largely capped unless a higher bid emerges during the go-shop window, while the remaining downside is mostly tied to deal risk and timing.

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Series A Stock Today: Paramount’s $30 Bid Gets Larry Ellison Backstop as Netflix Deal Enters Crunch Time

December 23, 2025 — Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. Series A common stock (NASDAQ: WBD) traded around $28.98 in U.S. trading on Tuesday, hovering between two competing takeover paths: Netflix’s agreed cash-and-stock combination for WBD’s studios and streaming assets, and Paramount Skydance’s hostile all-cash tender offer for the whole company. The latest catalyst hit late Monday and spilled into Tuesday’s market: Paramount Skydance amended its $30-per-share offer, adding a high-profile financing enhancement—an “irrevocable personal guarantee” from Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison covering $40.4 billion of equity financing—while keeping the headline price unchanged.

Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TECK.A, TECK.B; NYSE: TECK) is ending 2025 in the rarest of market habitats: an event-driven mining stock with a macro tailwind and a very real operational “boss fight” still underway at its flagship copper mine.

ServiceNow (NOW) Stock Drops After $7.75 Billion Armis Deal: Today’s News, Analyst Forecasts, and What’s Next (Dec. 23, 2025)

ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE: NOW) stock traded lower on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, after the enterprise software leader announced its largest acquisition to date: a $7.75 billion all‑cash agreement to buy cyber exposure management specialist Armis. The move is designed to deepen ServiceNow’s security and risk footprint—especially across operational technology (OT), IoT, and medical devices—at a moment when AI adoption is expanding corporate “attack surfaces” and making cyber governance a board-level priority.

Warner Bros. Discovery Stock (WBD) Today: Paramount’s $30 Bid vs. Netflix Deal, Fresh Deal Updates, and Analyst Forecasts (Dec. 23, 2025)

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBD) stock is trading like a company caught in the gravitational field of two giants—because it is. Shares hovered around $28.89 in Tuesday trading (Dec. 23, 2025) as investors weighed a strengthened hostile bid from Paramount Skydance against Warner Bros. Discovery’s board-backed agreement with Netflix. Reuters At the center of today’s move is a simple question with very not-simple implications: Which deal—if any—actually closes? That uncertainty is what’s setting the tone for WBD stock right now, and it’s also why traditional “fundamentals-first” stock narratives have taken a back seat to merger math, financing certainty, and

Clearwater Analytics Holdings, Inc.

Warner Bros. Discovery Stock (WBD) Surges Into a Deal-Driven Crossroads: Netflix Merger, Paramount’s Ellison-Backed Bid, and Wall Street Forecasts (Dec. 23, 2025)

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBD) is trading less like a traditional media stock and more like a live, headline-powered referendum on which future it gets: a Netflix tie-up for its crown-jewel entertainment assets, or a full-company buyout pitched by Paramount Skydance—now reinforced by a massive personal guarantee from Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison. As of Tuesday, Dec. 23, WBD shares were around $28.75. That price matters, because it sits in the gravitational pull of two competing proposals—and it reflects how investors are weighing a higher nominal offer against deal certainty, timing, break fees, and regulatory risk.

Paramount Skydance Corporation stock (NASDAQ: PSKY) is back in the spotlight on December 23, 2025, after the company sharpened the financing behind its high-profile attempt to acquire Warner Bros.

The short version: PSKY hasn’t raised its headline $30-per-share cash offer for WBD, but it strengthened the credibility of its funding with an “irrevocable personal guarantee” of $40.4 billion from Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, increased its regulatory reverse termination fee, and extended the tender
