AI Stocks Today (Dec. 22, 2025): Nvidia’s China Chip Pivot, Micron’s Memory Squeeze, and 2026 Forecasts Driving the AI Trade

Updated: Dec. 22, 2025 — 10:22 a.m. ET (15:22 UTC) U.S. equities are starting the holiday-shortened week with a familiar engine: artificial intelligence. By mid-morning Monday, AI chip stocks and the broader tech complex were extending a rebound that picked up late last week, as investors balanced fresh catalysts (notably in semiconductors and cloud) against lingering concerns about valuations, export controls, and the “who actually earns the ROI?” question that keeps resurfacing whenever capex numbers climb. Reuters At the center of today’s tape is a single theme that keeps proving it can move multiple sectors at once: the AI supply

Pfizer Stock Outlook for 2026: Oncology Momentum, Obesity Deals, and the Patent Cliff Investors Can’t Ignore

Pfizer Stock Outlook for 2026: Oncology Momentum, Obesity Deals, and the Patent Cliff Investors Can’t Ignore

As of Monday, December 22, 2025, Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) is once again at the center of a familiar market debate: is this a battered pharma giant destined to stay “dead money,” or a dividend-rich turnaround story that could surprise investors as its pipeline matures? The short-term reality is tough to miss. Pfizer has guided to flat-to-down revenue in 2026, with continued COVID-franchise erosion and an accelerating loss-of-exclusivity cycle. But the longer-term case—outlined in a wave of investor and analyst commentary this month—rests on whether Pfizer can execute in the two areas that matter most to its post-patent-cliff future: oncology and

Uber Stock Outlook for 2026: Baidu Robotaxi Trials, Profit Momentum, and Why UBER Shares Look “Historically Cheap”

Dec. 22, 2025 — Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER) is ending the year with a familiar investor paradox: the business looks stronger on many core metrics, yet the stock has been trading like a company facing an “existential” technology threat. The latest catalyst arrived Monday with a headline that lands directly in the center of that debate—Uber and Lyft said they will work with China’s Baidu to launch driverless taxi trials in the U.K. in 2026, adding another major autonomy partner to Uber’s growing robotaxi web. Reuters As of Monday afternoon, Uber shares were around $82, up roughly 3% on the

CRH plc Stock Today (Dec. 22, 2025): S&P 500 Debut, Fresh Buyback Update, and What Analysts Forecast Next

New York — Wall Street began the holiday-shortened week with a steady bid for risk, led by a renewed push in technology and AI-linked names. As of 10:16 a.m. ET on Monday, Dec. 22, 2025, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite were all higher, as investors weighed an AI-driven momentum rebound against thin year-end liquidity and a busy batch of economic updates still due before Christmas.

Nike Stock (NKE) News Today, Dec. 22, 2025: China Slump, Tariffs, and Turnaround Costs Dominate Forecasts After Earnings

NIKE, Inc. stock is starting the week still digesting a bruising post-earnings selloff, with investors focused less on the fact that the company beat Wall Street’s profit expectations and more on what management signaled about margins, China, and the cost of the turnaround. As of Dec. 22, NIKE shares (NYSE: NKE) were trading around the high-$50s, after opening higher and swinging through a wide intraday range. That price action fits the current Nike narrative: the company isn’t “broken,” but its recovery is proving messy—especially in China—while tariffs and discounting are squeezing profitability.

December 22, 2025 — Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIVN) is ending the year with a very different vibe than the one that dominated much of the post-IPO era: the stock is pushing to fresh highs, sentiment is swinging from “cash-burn problem” to “platform story,” and Wall Street is suddenly arguing about software subscriptions and AI chips instead of just vehicle deliveries. On Monday, Rivian shares touched a new 52-week high of $22.68, capping a sharp recent run-up that some market trackers put at roughly 20% in the past week.
