Nike Stock (NKE) Today: Tim Cook’s $3M Buy Lifts Shares as Wall Street Weighs Tariffs, China Weakness, and a Slow Turnaround

NEW YORK — As of 3:01 p.m. ET on Friday, Dec. 26, 2025, NIKE, Inc. (NYSE: NKE) shares are trading around $60.52, up about 0.9% on the day. Nike’s move is unfolding in a light, post-Christmas trading session with the major U.S. indexes hovering near record territory and showing limited conviction either way—typical of late-December tape, when liquidity can thin and single-stock catalysts matter more. Reuters What’s different for Nike this week: a rare, high-profile insider signal from Apple CEO Tim Cook, paired with fresh debate about whether CEO Elliott Hill’s turnaround plan is gaining traction—or simply getting more expensive.

Chernobyl Radiation Shield Damaged: IAEA Says New Safe Confinement Lost Key Safety Function After Drone Strike — Repairs Could Take Years

A decade-long international effort to “cap” the world’s most infamous nuclear disaster site is now facing a daunting reality: the massive steel arch built to contain the remains of Chernobyl’s destroyed Reactor 4 can no longer fully do the job it was designed for. In early December 2025, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said the New Safe Confinement (NSC) — the giant protective shelter over the reactor — has lost its primary safety functions, including its confinement capability, after sustaining damage from a drone strike earlier this year. While the IAEA says there has been no permanent damage to

GE Vernova Stock (NYSE: GEV) Today: Live Price Check, Fresh Contract News, Analyst Targets, and What Investors Are Watching Next

As of 2:44 p.m. ET in New York on Friday, December 26, 2025, GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) shares are trading at $662.08, down $5.24 (-0.79%) on the session, with an intraday range of $660.61–$670.00 on about 750K shares. The broader U.S. market is essentially flat in a holiday-thinned session—SPY is modestly lower, QQQ slightly higher, while DIA and cyclical industrials (XLI) are softer. For GEV investors, that “quiet tape” matters because the stock has been anything but quiet this month: GE Vernova hit record territory around mid-December after a bullish investor update, and then saw sharp, sentiment-driven swings tied

NuScale Power (SMR) Stock Slides in Post‑Christmas Trading: Latest News, Analyst Forecasts, and What Investors Are Watching Next

New York — As of 2:35 p.m. ET on Friday, December 26, 2025, NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR) shares are trading around $15.04, down about $1.05 (roughly 6.5%) on the day. The drop is landing in a broader market that’s notably quiet after the Christmas holiday. Midday, the S&P 500 was slightly lower (down about 0.1%), with similarly modest moves in the Dow and Nasdaq—classic thin-liquidity conditions where high-volatility names can swing harder than usual. AP News Today is also a normal, full trading session for U.S. equities (after the early close on Christmas Eve and the Christmas Day shutdown),

(Nasdaq: SIDU) was trading around $2.36, up roughly $0.16 (about 7%) on the day — but also near the session’s low ($2.35) after touching an intraday high of $3.36 on enormous volume (about 153 million shares). That volatility is happening against a notably quiet post‑Christmas tape for the broader market. In midday trading, U.S. benchmarks were only slightly lower with lighter holiday volume expected, according to the Associated Press. AP News So why is a micro-cap space-and-defense name trading like a momentum rocket today?

Eli Lilly Stock (LLY) Today: GLP‑1 Price Cuts, the Obesity Pill Race, and What Investors Are Watching Into 2026

New York — Friday, December 26, 2025 (2:28 p.m. ET): Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) is trading near $1,075 per share, essentially flat to slightly lower on the day in a thin, post‑Christmas U.S. session where the major indexes are hovering close to record levels. Reuters For investors, the timing matters: holiday trading often amplifies short‑term moves and can distort intraday signals. But Lilly is not a “holiday tape” stock—its valuation and momentum remain anchored to a handful of blockbuster catalysts in obesity and diabetes, plus a pipeline that’s becoming harder for competitors to match. Below is a market‑relevant,

Reuters What’s making AG especially watchable right now is the
