Pfizer Stock (NYSE: PFE) News Today: 2026 Guidance, Earnings Forecasts, Analyst Price Targets and Key Catalysts

December 17, 2025 Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) stock is back in the spotlight on December 17 as investors digest the company’s newly issued full-year 2026 financial guidance, along with a stack of fresh reporting and analyst commentary about what comes next for one of the world’s biggest drugmakers. The immediate market reaction has been skeptical: Pfizer’s outlook points to another year of flat-to-down top-line performance as COVID-era revenue continues to normalize and a looming loss-of-exclusivity (LOE) cycle begins to bite harder. Pfizer+1 As of 00:43 UTC on Dec. 17 (late Dec. 16 in New York), Pfizer shares were about $25.53,

Tesla Stock (TSLA) Hits Record High Near $490 as Robotaxi Testing Accelerates — California Autopilot Deadline, Analyst Forecasts, and Key Risks in Focus

December 17, 2025 — Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) is back at the center of the market’s imagination machine. Shares are trading around $489.88, after a record close near $490 that snapped a roughly one‑year “no new highs” streak and reignited the debate over what Tesla really is: car company, AI company, robotaxi platform, or all of the above. Investopedia The timing isn’t subtle. Over the last 48 hours, Tesla has stacked multiple headline catalysts: Elon Musk publicly pointing to driverless robotaxi testing, a fresh regulatory development in California that could have threatened sales but was temporarily put on hold, and

Tilray Brands (TLRY) Stock News Today: Trump Cannabis Rescheduling Reports Fuel Volatility, Fresh Forecasts and Key Levels (Dec. 17, 2025)

Tilray Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) stock is back in the spotlight on December 17, 2025, as cannabis stocks react—again—to fast-moving headlines around potential U.S. federal marijuana rescheduling. In the latest session, TLRY traded around $13.94, up roughly 27% on the day, after swinging between about $10.32 and $14.54—a reminder that Tilray remains one of the market’s most headline-sensitive, momentum-driven names. So what changed this time? A cluster of reports and follow-on commentary about President Donald Trump and a possible executive order aimed at reclassifying marijuana—paired with the stock’s own structural catalysts (notably its recent 1-for-10 reverse split)—is amplifying both upside

British American Tobacco (BATS.L / BTI) Stock: Today’s Buyback Update, Dividend Dates, and 2026 Outlook (Dec. 17, 2025)

British American Tobacco (BATS.L / BTI) Stock: Today’s Buyback Update, Dividend Dates, and 2026 Outlook (Dec. 17, 2025)

British American Tobacco p.l.c. (BAT) entered mid-December with its share price near multi-year highs, and the news flow on Wednesday, December 17, 2025 is very “capital allocation meets governance”: the company disclosed another daily share repurchase under its ongoing buyback programme and filed a director declaration under UK listing rules. Meanwhile, investors are still digesting BAT’s early-December FY2025 pre-close trading update, where management reaffirmed its medium-term growth algorithm but signaled that 2026 performance is likely to land at the lower end of its target range—largely because the U.S. vaping market remains distorted by illicit competition and uneven enforcement.

Diageo (DGE.L) Stock News Today: Guinness Maker Strikes $2.3bn Asahi Deal — What It Means for Diageo Shares on 17 December 2025

Diageo plc stock is firmly in the spotlight on 17 December 2025, after the Johnnie Walker and Guinness owner announced a major East Africa transaction that brings in fresh cash, reduces leverage, and reshapes how the group operates in the region. In a market that has been punishing global spirits makers for slowing demand (especially in the US and parts of Asia), Diageo’s decision to sell its controlling stake in East African Breweries (EABL) to Asahi is being read as more than a simple portfolio tweak. It’s a balance-sheet move, a “simplify the footprint” move, and—depending on your level of

Unilever PLC Stock (UL/ULVR): Today’s News, Analyst Forecasts, and What the Magnum Spin-Off Changes for 2026

Unilever PLC stock is back in the spotlight on 17 December 2025 as investors digest a fast-moving mix of portfolio restructuring, governance drama tied to Ben & Jerry’s, and fresh analyst revisions that hint at a slightly slower growth runway after the group’s ice cream separation. In early trading, Unilever’s U.S.-listed ADR (NYSE: UL) traded around $64.33, after a prior close near $64.94. In London, Unilever shares fell 1.06% on Tuesday to £47.94, lagging the broader FTSE 100 in a risk-off session.

UK Stock Market Today (17 December 2025): FTSE 100 Set to Jump as UK Inflation Drops to 3.2% Ahead of Bank of England Rate Decision

London shares are poised for a stronger start on Wednesday, 17 December 2025, after a sharper-than-expected drop in UK inflation reinforced expectations that the Bank of England will cut interest rates at its final policy meeting of the year on Thursday (18 December). Reuters+1 UK stock market snapshot: what traders are watching this morning Early indicators across UK markets point to a “rates relief” tone: This setup matters because the UK’s equity benchmarks are highly sensitive to shifts in rate expectations—especially through bank earnings assumptions, property and housebuilder sentiment, and the currency translation effect for globally exposed blue chips.

LONDON — 17 December 2025 — Rolls-Royce Holdings plc stock (LSE: RR., often referenced as RR.L) is closing out 2025 with a familiar theme: cash generation plus operational execution, now reinforced by another shareholder-return move and a steady stream of programme milestones across civil aerospace, defence and power systems.

Updated: 17 December 2025 GSK plc stock (LSE: GSK; NYSE: GSK) is in focus on Dec. 17 after a major U.S. regulatory win: the FDA approved Exdensur (depemokimab‑ulaa) for severe asthma—giving GSK a new, ultra‑long‑acting biologic that’s dosed just twice a year.

Barclays PLC Stock (BARC.L, BCS) Today: Buyback Update, Saudi Arabia Return, and Analyst Price Targets Ahead of the Bank of England Decision

London / New York — Wednesday, December 17, 2025. Barclays PLC stock is back in the spotlight as investors weigh three big forces at once: (1) an active share buyback that continues to shrink the share count, (2) a strategic push back into Saudi Arabia’s dealmaking ecosystem, and (3) a macro backdrop dominated by UK inflation data and a closely watched Bank of England (BoE) rate decision. Investegate+2The National+2 What makes today particularly interesting is how these pieces interact. Buybacks tend to support earnings per share and can put a floor under dips—but they also place a bet that the
