AI Stocks Today (Dec. 18, 2025): Nvidia, Microsoft, Broadcom and Micron Rebound as Inflation Cools and OpenAI’s Mega-Round Talk Raises the Stakes

Updated: Dec. 18, 2025 (4:15 PM EST) AI stocks ended Thursday with a sharp rebound after a bruising stretch that revived “AI bubble” fears across semiconductors and mega-cap tech. The day’s tone shift was driven by two things investors care about most right now: a cooler-than-expected inflation update (supportive for growth-stock valuations) and a blockbuster outlook from Micron that reinforced a simple message—AI infrastructure spending is still accelerating, and the supply chain is still tight. TradingView+2Reuters+2 By the close, Wall Street’s tech-heavy leadership reasserted itself. The S&P 500 rose 0.78% to 6,773.91, the Nasdaq Composite gained 1.37% to 23,004.92, and

NEW YORK — December 18, 2025 (12:00 p.m. ET) — After a bruising few sessions driven by data-center financing jitters, the AI trade is finding its footing again at midday. A cooler-than-expected inflation read helped lift rate-cut hopes, while Micron’s blockbuster outlook for AI-linked memory demand reignited risk appetite across semiconductors and the broader tech complex. Reuters+1 That rebound doesn’t erase the market’s big new question: can the industry keep funding a trillion-dollar buildout of chips, power, and data centers long enough for profits to catch up?
