Oracle Stock Heads for Worst Quarter Since 2001 as AI Spending Fears Collide With OpenAI, TikTok, and Hollywood Bets

Oracle is closing out 2025 with the kind of volatility normally reserved for pure-play AI startups, not a 47-year-old enterprise software heavyweight. Shares are down about 30% so far this quarter, putting the stock on pace for its steepest quarterly decline since 2001, according to market reporting that tracked the move against Oracle’s early-2000s drawdowns.

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Stock Today: Takeover Bids, Netflix Deal Financing, and What Wall Street Forecasts on Dec. 24, 2025

December 24, 2025 — Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. is trading in takeover territory on Christmas Eve, with the stock hovering around $29 and repeatedly pulled toward the headline $30-per-share hostile bid from Paramount Skydance. As of the latest available pricing, WBD shares were near $29.14, effectively pricing in a live merger-arbitrage chess match: the market is treating the Paramount offer as a real anchor, while also respecting the signed Netflix agreement and the regulatory, timing, and litigation risks still hanging over both paths.

December 20, 2025 — Cloud computing stocks are ending the year with a familiar tailwind—surging demand for AI compute—but also with a sharper split between “scale winners” and “balance-sheet stress tests.” In the last 48 hours alone, the market’s cloud narrative has been shaped by a record pace of data-center dealmaking, new mega-contract momentum in cloud security, and a fresh reminder that financing is becoming a defining competitive advantage for 2026.

MARKET CALENDAR

Key Events Today

The catalysts most likely to move markets.

#1

U.S. index futures reopen at 18:00 ET

This is the clearest scheduled U.S.-market price-discovery point today and can transmit weekend news into equity-index futures before Monday's cash session.

#2

New Zealand retail sales at 18:45 ET

The Q2 retail package can move NZD and regional risk sentiment. Spillover to U.S. assets is usually secondary unless the result is unusually large.

#3

No scheduled domestic U.S. data or corporate reports

The absence of U.S. releases, earnings, IPO pricings and split events leaves fewer scheduled catalysts, increasing the relative importance of weekend headlines and positioning at the futures reopen.
