NEW YORK — 5:45 a.m. ET, Thursday, Dec. 18, 2025 — Big Tech stocks are trying to steady in early premarket trading after a sharp AI-led pullback rattled the “Magnificent Seven” trade into year-end.

Meta vs. IRS: $16 Billion Tax Battle Over Ireland Profits Tests ‘Periodic Adjustments’ Strategy

WASHINGTON — December 18, 2025 — Meta Platforms’ long-running U.S. tax fight just entered a higher-stakes phase, with the Internal Revenue Service pursuing roughly $16 billion and leaning on a legal approach that could reshape how multinational companies price and report profits tied to intellectual property. Wall Street Journal At the center of the dispute is Meta’s decade-old structure for assigning rights to profit from markets outside the U.S. to an Irish affiliate—an arrangement the IRS says shifted tens of billions of dollars of income into a lower-tax jurisdiction. Meta disputes the government’s analysis and is now fighting the latest

NEW YORK — December 16, 2025 (1:45 PM ET) — AI stocks are trading on two competing forces in Tuesday’s U.S. session: renewed skepticism about whether massive AI infrastructure spending can translate into profits fast enough, and a fresh set of macro signals that could shape the interest-rate path into 2026.
