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

Updated: 1:59 p.m. ET, Thursday, December 18, 2025 AI stocks are rebounding sharply midday Thursday after a bruising bout of “AI trade” volatility earlier this week. The catalyst is familiar: hard evidence of demand. Micron’s blowout outlook and comments around high-bandwidth memory (HBM) have steadied sentiment across semiconductors and mega-cap tech—just as markets digest softer U.S. inflation data, renewed debate over debt-funded data-center expansion, and a fresh jolt from private-market headlines around OpenAI’s next fundraising ambitions.

Big Tech Stocks Today: Magnificent Seven Rally Near Noon ET as Soft Inflation and AI Demand Reset the Narrative

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.

NEW YORK — As of 6:00 p.m. EST, the U.S. “AI trade” is ending Wednesday on a sharply split note: mega-cap AI infrastructure and chip leaders fell hard into the close, while memory maker Micron Technologies jumped in extended trading after delivering a bullish outlook tied directly to AI data-center demand.
