Costco Stock (COST) Slides on Rare Sell Call: Today’s News, Analyst Forecasts, and What to Watch Next (Dec. 16, 2025)

Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ: COST) is under pressure on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, as investors weigh a rare bearish analyst call against the company’s still-strong fundamentals and recent earnings beat. As of 14:59 UTC on Dec. 16, Costco shares traded around $849, down roughly 1.3% on the session, after swinging between an intraday high near $861 and a low near $849.

IonQ, Inc. (NYSE: IONQ) is back in motion on December 16, 2025—rebounding after a sharp selloff that was fueled less by a “fundamental surprise” and more by the kind of headline cocktail that makes high-volatility stocks wobble: insider-trading filings, fresh global competition signals, and a market that’s currently treating “quantum” like a live wire. As of today’s session, IonQ shares are trading around $48.79, up about 5.9% from the prior close. That bounce matters because it arrives right as Jefferies initiates coverage on IonQ with a Buy rating and a $100 price target, effectively tossing a fresh canister of oxygen
