Costco Stock (COST) Week Ahead: Fresh News, Analyst Forecasts, and Key Levels to Watch Into Christmas Week

Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ: COST) heads into the week of December 22–26, 2025 with investors juggling two competing narratives: a fundamentally strong, membership-driven retailer that just posted solid quarterly results—versus a stock that has slid meaningfully from its early-2025 highs as valuation concerns, tariff headlines, and a rare “sell” call spark debate. With U.S. markets entering a holiday-shortened trading week, volatility can be amplified by lighter volumes—making headlines and macro data especially important for near-term direction. Below is what matters most for Costco stock in the week ahead, based on news and analysis available as of Sunday, December 21, 2025.

Oracle Stock (ORCL) Week Ahead: TikTok Joint Venture Headlines, OpenAI “Stargate” Spending Fears, and Key Levels to Watch (Dec. 22–26, 2025)

Published: December 21, 2025 Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) heads into a holiday-shortened Christmas trading week with two powerful forces pulling the stock in opposite directions: a fresh catalyst from the newly signed TikTok U.S. joint venture agreement, and ongoing investor anxiety over Oracle’s debt-fueled AI data center buildout tied to OpenAI and the broader “Stargate” infrastructure push. The result is a stock that can move sharply on headlines—especially when liquidity thins around the holidays. For traders and longer-term investors alike, the coming week (Dec. 22–26) is less about Oracle-specific scheduled events and more about macro data, year-end positioning, and any

Date: Sunday, December 21, 2025 CRH plc (NYSE: CRH) heads into a holiday-shortened week with a rare combination of near-term “mechanical” demand catalysts and fundamental headlines: its long-telegraphed move into the S&P 500 becomes official Monday, the company has just announced another U.S. aggregates acquisition, and analysts are actively debating how much of the recent rally is “index effect” versus durable earnings power. CRH+2The Irish Times+2 For investors planning the week ahead, the setup matters because liquidity will be thinner than usual—yet CRH could still see elevated volumes tied to index-tracking activity and year-end positioning.

Amazon.com Inc. enters the week of December 22–26, 2025 with investors balancing two forces that often collide at year-end: a thinly traded holiday market and an unusually dense stream of AI-driven headlines that keep Amazon stock (NASDAQ: AMZN) in focus.

StockAnalysis That puts AMZN in a familiar late-2025 range—close enough to recent highs to keep bulls engaged, but still far enough from the year’s peak to leave room for “catch-up” narratives into 2026.

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) heads into the final full week before year-end with a familiar tug-of-war shaping the stock: investors are weighing powerful AI-driven growth in Azure and the broader Microsoft Cloud against the cost, complexity, and scrutiny that come with building “planet-scale” AI infrastructure.
