Oracle (ORCL) stock ends 2025 lower as New Year holiday shuts U.S. markets — what’s next

Oracle (ORCL) stock ends 2025 lower as New Year holiday shuts U.S. markets — what’s next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 10:18 ET — Market closed. Oracle Corp (ORCL.N) shares fell 1.17% to $194.91 on Wednesday, tracking a dip in U.S. stocks as 2025’s final session ended. Trading volumes were thin in the holiday-shortened week, and U.S. markets are closed Thursday for New Year’s Day. MarketWatch+1 The year-end slide leaves Oracle starting 2026 with investors still focused on the cost of its AI push. In its latest quarterly report, Oracle forecast higher spending and said fiscal 2026 capital expenditures would be about $15 billion higher than the $35 billion it estimated in September.

Oracle stock slips into after-hours as tech fades on final day of 2025

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 4:48 ET — After-hours Oracle Corp shares were down 1.2% at $194.91 shortly after the close on Wednesday, as trading thinned into the New Year holiday. The move matters now because Oracle has become a bellwether for investor appetite for big-ticket cloud infrastructure spending tied to artificial intelligence. With the calendar turning, portfolio managers are rebalancing exposure and scrutinizing cash needs across the AI supply chain. For Oracle, the debate has centered on how quickly cloud demand converts into profit while the company ramps spending on data centers — large, long-lived projects that can weigh

AI stocks today: Meta rises on Manus buy as Nvidia slips and Fed minutes keep rates in focus

AI stocks today: Meta rises on Manus buy as Nvidia slips and Fed minutes keep rates in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:48 ET — After-hours Meta Platforms rose on Tuesday after the Facebook owner said it would acquire Chinese-founded artificial intelligence startup Manus, keeping the spotlight on “agent” software that can act on a user’s behalf. The move matters now because Big Tech’s AI spending cycle is shifting beyond chatbots toward tools designed to do work, not just answer questions. Deals and funding rounds are one way companies try to buy speed in a crowded market. It also lands into year-end positioning, when light volumes can exaggerate moves and investors rebalance away from crowded winners. Rate

Oracle stock rises as Fed minutes near; insider sale notice adds to OpenAI scrutiny

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:29 ET — Regular session Oracle shares rose 0.8% to $197.03 in morning trading on Tuesday, recovering after a 1.3% slide in the prior session. MarketWatch The move matters because Oracle is trading like a rate-sensitive, high-valuation software name, with investors using macro signals to price long-dated growth. Minutes from the Fed’s last policy meeting are expected later Tuesday, a potential catalyst for bond yields and tech multiples.

Oracle stock slips after insider sale filing as OpenAI-linked spending stays in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 09:56 ET — Regular session Oracle shares fell 0.4% to $197.27 in early trading on Monday after a company officer disclosed a planned share sale, with investors still wary about the cost of the software maker’s push to expand AI-related cloud capacity. The filing matters because Oracle has become a touchstone for a broader market question: how much debt and spending big tech can absorb as demand for AI computing accelerates, especially heading into year-end when liquidity can thin and moves can get exaggerated.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 06:54 ET — Premarket Microsoft (MSFT.O) shares slipped about 0.2% in premarket trading on Monday, changing hands around $486.69, as equity futures edged lower to start the final week of 2025. MarketWatch data showed the stock was down $1.02 from Friday’s close.(MarketWatch quote) The software maker is one of the biggest weights in the Nasdaq and S&P 500, leaving it a key swing factor when holiday-thinned volumes can amplify moves.

Cloud Computing Stocks Outlook 2026: The Biggest Winners, Risks, and Fresh Analyst Calls as AI Supercharges the Cloud (Dec. 25, 2025)

December 25, 2025 — U.S. markets are closed for Christmas, but investor focus hasn’t slowed.

December 23, 2025 — Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. Series A common stock (NASDAQ: WBD) traded around $28.98 in U.S. trading on Tuesday, hovering between two competing takeover paths: Netflix’s agreed cash-and-stock combination for WBD’s studios and streaming assets, and Paramount Skydance’s hostile all-cash tender offer for the whole company. The latest catalyst hit late Monday and spilled into Tuesday’s market: Paramount Skydance amended its $30-per-share offer, adding a high-profile financing enhancement—an “irrevocable personal guarantee” from Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison covering $40.4 billion of equity financing—while keeping the headline price unchanged.

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBD) stock is trading like a company caught in the gravitational field of two giants—because it is.

Monday, 22 December 2025 (22.12.2025) opens the holiday-shortened trading week with AI stocks back in the driver’s seat—but with the kind of “two steps forward, one geopolitical step sideways” energy that has defined much of 2025’s tech tape. Over the past few sessions, investors have rotated back into the AI trade after a bout of valuation angst, helped by a tech rebound and renewed confidence that enterprise and hyperscaler AI spending isn’t evaporating—it’s just getting more selective.

Updated: Sunday, December 21, 2025 Data center stocks head into a holiday-shortened week with a familiar setup—and a few fresh fault lines. Demand for AI compute remains strong, but the market is increasingly pricing the constraints around that demand: power availability, grid rules, financing terms, and the evolving perimeter of U.S. semiconductor export controls. For investors watching the full “data center stack”—from AI chips and networking to power/cooling gear and data center REITs—the coming week is likely to be less about earnings and more about macro prints, liquidity, and headline-driven sentiment.
