Big Tech Stocks Today: Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta and Tesla — The AI Rally Meets a 2026 Reality Check (Dec. 20, 2025)

Big Tech stocks head into the final stretch of 2025 with the market’s most important narrative still intact: artificial intelligence is driving an infrastructure buildout so large that it’s reshaping corporate spending plans, data-center investment, and even geopolitics. But the headlines landing on December 20, 2025 underline a second, equally powerful theme investors will carry into 2026: the “Magnificent Seven” trade is no longer just about growth. It’s also about valuation discipline, export controls, regulation, boardroom governance, and the risk that macro conditions (rates and inflation) don’t cooperate. Below is what’s moving Big Tech stocks right now—plus the forecasts and

Amazon Layoffs in Luxembourg: 370 Jobs Cut at European Headquarters as AI Restructuring Accelerates

December 19, 2025 — Amazon is preparing to eliminate 370 roles at its European headquarters in Luxembourg, a move that would amount to roughly 8.5% of the site’s workforce and mark the company’s largest-ever round of cuts at the location. The plan, which has been negotiated under European labour rules and set out in a formal “social plan,” is landing hardest on employees in technical roles—while raising urgent concerns for foreign workers whose residency status can depend on how quickly they find new employment.

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

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

Top AI Stocks to Buy Today (Dec. 18, 2025): Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, Broadcom, Micron and More as AI Trade Rebounds

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? Oracle’s financing headlines and the sudden repricing in “AI infrastructure” names show how quickly sentiment can swing—even

Big Tech stocks are back in control of the tape around 12:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, December 18, 2025, with investors leaning into a familiar late-cycle trade: cooler inflation → lower yields → higher-growth tech. After Wednesday’s sharp pullback on renewed “AI bubble” chatter, the Magnificent Seven are broadly higher in midday trading, helped by a one-two catalyst punch: a benign inflation print (with important caveats tied to the recent U.S. government shutdown) and a fresh confirmation of AI hardware demand after Micron’s blowout results and guidance.

Amazon AI Chief Rohit Prasad to Leave as Andy Jassy Puts AWS Veteran Peter DeSantis in Charge of AGI, Nova Models, Chips and Quantum

December 18, 2025 — Amazon is reshaping its artificial intelligence leadership at a moment CEO Andy Jassy calls an “inflection point,” moving longtime AWS executive Peter DeSantis into a newly expanded organization that brings together Amazon’s most ambitious AI model work, custom silicon development, and quantum computing efforts. The change comes as Rohit Prasad, the senior vice president and head scientist who helped build Alexa and later led Amazon’s “AGI” organization, plans to depart at the end of 2025.
