NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 11:19 ET — Regular session Abivax Société Anonyme’s U.S.-listed American depositary shares (ABVX) fell about 3.8% to $133.04, down roughly $5.30 from Tuesday’s close, in late morning trade on Wednesday.

As of 1:47 p.m. in New York on Friday, December 26, 2025, U.S. markets are open, but the tape is behaving like a post-holiday hallway: quieter than usual, with sudden echoes when a small-cap name trips an algorithm.

December 25, 2025 — It’s Christmas Day, U.S. markets are taking a breather, and yet the AI-stock news cycle is doing what it always does: refusing to sleep.

As of 5:02 p.m. ET on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, the “AI trade” is closing out a holiday-shortened session with fresh momentum — and a new set of questions investors can’t ignore.

On the other hand, today’s biggest AI headlines aren’t just about chips and models anymore. They’re increasingly about dealmaking, data-center financing, capital-expenditure transparency, and regulatory pressure on how AI assistants get distributed to consumers. Reuters+1

Clearwater Analytics Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CWAN) is trading like a classic merger-arbitrage stock on December 23, 2025—hovering just below the agreed buyout price after the company signed a definitive deal to go private.

December 22, 2025 — ABIVAX Société Anonyme (ticker ABVX on Nasdaq and Euronext Paris) is back in the spotlight today, with traders juggling two storylines that can move a biotech stock fast: renewed takeover speculation involving Eli Lilly and Abivax’s addition to the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index (NBI), effective before today’s market open.

Amicus Therapeutics (FOLD) Stock Week Ahead: $14.50 BioMarin Buyout Puts the Deal Spread—and New Filings—Front and Center (Dec. 22–26, 2025)

As of Sunday, December 21, 2025, Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: FOLD) is no longer trading like a “typical biotech story stock.” After BioMarin’s all-cash $14.50-per-share takeover agreement, FOLD has effectively become a deal-driven, merger-arbitrage name—meaning next week’s action is likely to hinge less on quarterly fundamentals and more on the probability, timing, and conditions of closing. SEC+1 FOLD last traded around $14.18 (near the offer price), reflecting how quickly the market repriced the shares after the announcement.
