Big Tech Stocks on December 25, 2025: Magnificent Seven News, AI Forecasts, and What Wall Street Is Watching for 2026

U.S. markets are closed for Christmas Day, but the Big Tech stocks story isn’t taking a holiday. After a holiday-shortened Christmas Eve session that ended with fresh record closes for the Dow and S&P 500—and extended a multi-day “Santa rally” streak—investors are heading into the final trading days of 2025 with one big question: can the Magnificent Seven keep carrying the tape in 2026, or does the AI trade finally have to prove its payoff? Reuters The latest headlines hitting Big Tech today (December 25, 2025) make that debate feel even sharper. Nvidia is cutting a noteworthy licensing deal in

EV Stocks News Today (Dec. 25, 2025): Tesla Robotaxi Hype, EV Demand Forecasts, and New Catalysts in Asia

Even with U.S. markets closed for Christmas, EV stocks are still getting fresh inputs on December 25, 2025—from robotaxi optimism and charging-infrastructure warnings to new EV launches and battery/energy-storage deals in Asia. Taken together, today’s coverage reinforces a theme investors have been pricing in for months: “EV stocks” are no longer trading on EV unit growth alone. They’re increasingly trading on (1) autonomy and software narratives, (2) policy and incentive changes that reshape demand, and (3) who controls batteries, costs, and supply chains. Below is a detailed roundup of the most notable news, forecasts, and analyses dated Dec. 25, 2025,

Semiconductor Stocks Today (Dec 25, 2025): Nvidia–Groq Deal, Micron’s HBM Boom, Intel Foundry Questions, and 2026 Forecasts

December 25, 2025 — U.S. markets are closed for Christmas, but the semiconductor sector enters the holiday break with momentum, fresh AI-driven headlines, and a growing stack of 2026 forecasts that are increasingly shaping how investors think about chip stocks. A holiday-shortened session on Wednesday (Dec. 24) delivered record closes for major U.S. indexes, while chip names stayed central to the “AI spending vs. valuation” debate that has defined the second half of 2025.

AI Stocks Today (Dec. 25, 2025): Nvidia’s Groq Deal, Meta’s WhatsApp Probe, and the 2026 AI Spending Forecasts Moving Markets

U.S. markets are closed for Christmas, but the AI stock conversation is anything but quiet. After the Dow and S&P 500 finished at record highs in a shortened Christmas Eve session, investors are heading into the final stretch of 2025 and the opening weeks of 2026 with one question front and center: does the AI trade have another leg higher—or does the bill for all that infrastructure spending finally come due? Reuters On Dec. 25, three storylines dominate the “AI stocks” landscape: Below is what’s driving headlines today, what analysts are forecasting for 2026, and how investors are thinking about

US Stock Market Today (Dec. 25, 2025): S&P 500 and Dow End Christmas Eve at Record Highs as 2026 Outlook Turns to AI, Earnings, and Fed Rate Cuts

NEW YORK — December 25, 2025. Wall Street is closed for Christmas Day, but the story investors are taking into the holiday is anything but quiet: U.S. stocks left off at fresh records, the “Santa Claus rally” window has begun, and strategists are already sketching a 2026 roadmap built around three swing factors—artificial intelligence investment, corporate profit growth, and the Federal Reserve’s next moves on rates. New York Stock Exchange The timing matters. With trading paused, markets are in “reflection mode”—digesting where prices ended the final full session before year-end positioning accelerates and before the calendar flips into a U.S.

Dow Jones Industrial Average Holds Record Close as Wall Street Closes for Christmas: DJIA Santa Rally Watch, Fed Rate-Cut Bets, and 2026 Outlook

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is spending Christmas Day at a fresh record—even though U.S. stock markets are shut today, Thursday, December 25, 2025. The blue-chip Dow Jones index last traded in Wednesday’s shortened Christmas Eve session, when it rose 288.75 points (0.60%) to close at an all-time high of 48,731.16. Reuters That record close is more than a holiday headline. It’s a snapshot of what has defined the market’s late-2025 push: a renewed bid for AI-linked names, resilient (if uneven) U.S. data, and a steady drumbeat of debate about how far the Federal Reserve will go with rate

Costco Stock (COST) After Hours Today: Analyst Upgrade, Price Targets, and What to Watch Before the Market Opens Dec. 26, 2025

AbbVie (ABBV) Stock on Dec. 25, 2025: After-Hours Check, Today’s Headlines, and What to Watch Before the Dec. 26 Open

Dec. 25, 2025 (Thursday) is Christmas Day in the U.S. — and that matters because there was no regular trading session and no closing bell today. U.S. stock markets were closed for the holiday, with the last regular session ending early on Wednesday, Dec. 24. NASDAQ Trader So if you’re checking AbbVie Inc. (NYSE: ABBV) “after the bell” on Dec. 25, what you’re really looking at is the latest available post-close/extended-hours pricing from Dec. 24, plus any fresh news/analysis published today that could influence sentiment when the market reopens Friday, Dec. 26, 2025.

Bank of America Stock (BAC) After Hours Today (Dec. 25, 2025): What to Know Before the Market Opens Tomorrow

Bank of America Corporation (NYSE: BAC) is heading into Friday’s reopening session with a key wrinkle: U.S. stock markets were closed today, Thursday, Dec. 25, for Christmas, so there was no “after-the-bell” price action in the usual sense. The most recent “close” investors can anchor to is Wednesday’s Christmas Eve early-close session. New York Stock Exchange That matters because BAC is sitting near fresh highs, liquidity is thin in holiday weeks, and the next wave of catalysts (rates, bank regulation, and the Q4 earnings runway) can move large-cap financials quickly when volume is light. Below is what’s happening with Bank

Netflix Stock (NFLX) After Hours on Christmas Day 2025: Latest Headlines, Analyst Forecasts, and What to Watch Before the Market Opens Dec. 26

U.S. stock markets are closed today, Thursday, Dec. 25, 2025, for Christmas Day, so there is no official closing bell or “after-hours” session happening tonight. The most recent tradable reference point for Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) is Wednesday’s shortened session (Dec. 24)—when U.S. markets closed early ahead of the holiday. NASDAQ Trader That doesn’t mean NFLX is “quiet.” Instead, investors are heading into Friday’s reopen with a fresh stack of deal-related developments, a new company-issued warning tied to a mini‑tender offer, and ongoing debate about Netflix’s long-term strategy as it pursues the biggest entertainment transaction in years.

Palantir Stock (PLTR) After the Bell on Dec. 25, 2025: What to Know Before the Market Opens Friday

U.S. markets are dark today for Christmas Day, which means there was no new closing print for Palantir Technologies (PLTR) on Thursday, Dec. 25, 2025—and no “after-the-bell” catalyst to digest in the usual sense. The next key moment for PLTR shareholders is Friday’s reopening on Dec. 26, when normal trading resumes and post-holiday liquidity (often thin) can amplify moves in momentum names. New York Stock Exchange Even with the holiday pause, the Palantir story hasn’t stopped moving.

Johnson & Johnson Stock After Hours Today (Dec. 25, 2025): JNJ Holds Near $208 — What to Know Before the Market Opens Dec. 26

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) is in an unusual “after the bell” setup today: there is no U.S. closing bell on Dec. 25 because the New York Stock Exchange is closed for Christmas Day, following a scheduled early close on Wednesday, Dec. 24.
