Amkor Technology (AMKR) Stock Drops on Dec. 16, 2025: Latest News, Forecasts, and What Investors Are Watching

Amkor Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMKR) is having a rough session on Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2025, with shares sliding sharply after a recent run-up. As of the latest available trade timestamp, AMKR was $39.89, down $4.02 (-9.16%) on the day, after trading between $43.88 (intraday high) and $39.89 (intraday low). That kind of move can feel like the floor suddenly became a trapdoor. But for Amkor, today’s volatility lands in the middle of a bigger story: advanced packaging becoming one of the most strategically important choke points in semiconductors—especially as AI and high-performance computing push the industry toward more complex “multi-chip”

Vertiv (VRT) Stock News Today (Dec. 16, 2025): Why Shares Fell, What Analysts Forecast, and What to Watch Next

Vertiv Holdings (often listed as Vertiv Holdings Co. / “Vertiv Holdings, LLC Class A” on market platforms) is ending 2025 with a very familiar investor debate: AI data-center infrastructure demand looks strong, but the stock’s valuation has become a lightning rod. Nasdaq+1 On Tuesday, December 16, 2025, Vertiv shares closed around $158 after another volatile stretch. The stock’s day range was roughly $154.65–$162.47, and the session marked a ~2%+ decline on the day. StockAnalysis+1 That move follows a sharp pullback earlier in the month—including a nearly 10% drop on Dec. 12—as investors reacted to a prominent analyst downgrade, “index inclusion”

KLA Corporation (KLAC) Stock News Today: Cantor Upgrade, Jefferies $1,500 Target and AI Chip-Equipment Forecasts (Dec. 16, 2025)

KLA Corporation stock (NASDAQ: KLAC) is back in the spotlight on December 16, 2025, as a fresh wave of bullish analyst calls collides with new industry forecasts that point to a multi-year upcycle in chipmaking equipment—one that’s increasingly tied to AI-driven demand. KLAC traded around $1,224 in the latest available session check on Tuesday, keeping the stock close to recent highs after a strong move earlier this week following a high-profile Wall Street upgrade (and while investors digest an insider filing that’s drawing attention, even if it’s routine in nature). Below is what’s moving KLA stock today, what analysts are

Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals (ARWR) Stock Drops on Dec. 16, 2025: Latest News, Analyst Forecasts, and What Investors Are Watching

Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARWR) is seeing a sharp pullback in Tuesday trading (Dec. 16, 2025), with shares recently changing hands around $62—down roughly 9% from the prior close—after hitting an intraday low near $59.76. That drop may look dramatic in isolation, but it’s landing on top of an unusually eventful stretch for the RNA interference (RNAi) biotech: Arrowhead just transitioned into a commercial-stage story after its first FDA approval, picked up an FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation for a follow-on indication, and kicked off a new Alzheimer’s-related clinical program—three ingredients that tend to increase both upside narratives and day-to-day volatility
Compass Inc stock COMP: Latest news, analyst forecasts, and key catalysts on December 16 2025

Compass Inc stock COMP: Latest news, analyst forecasts, and key catalysts on December 16 2025

Compass Inc stock (NYSE: COMP) is back in the spotlight on December 16, 2025, as investors juggle a cocktail of real-estate industry disruption, Big Tech “portal wars,” and a major consolidation bet that could reshape U.S. residential brokerage. By midday Tuesday, COMP was trading around $10.76 after opening at $10.42, with an intraday range roughly $10.28–$10.76 on volume above 2.3 million shares. That price action matters because it comes immediately after a sharp volatility spike tied to a single unnerving question: What happens to real-estate search traffic (and lead economics) if Google decides it wants a bigger slice? Below is

Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE: MA) stock traded around the mid-$560s on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, as investors weighed two very different forces: fresh legal pressure tied to card “swipe fee” litigation and a steady drumbeat of growth-and-innovation headlines, including new partnerships in lending and blockchain-enabled payments.

Pfizer Stock (PFE) Slides After 2026 Guidance: COVID Sales Drop, Patent Cliff and Analyst Forecasts in Focus

Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) shares fell sharply in U.S. trading on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, as investors weighed the drugmaker’s first look at full-year 2026 guidance, an updated 2025 revenue outlook, and fresh commentary on cost savings and capital allocation. By late morning ET, Pfizer stock was trading around $25, down roughly 5% on the day after swinging between the mid-$26s and just under $25. The market’s message was clear: Pfizer’s transition away from pandemic-era revenue is still a work in progress, and 2026 is shaping up as another “bridge year” where lower COVID-19 sales and patent expirations pressure results—partly

Warner Bros. Discovery Series A Stock (NASDAQ: WBD) on Dec. 16, 2025: Takeover Battle, Latest News, Analyst Forecasts, and What Comes Next

NEW YORK — Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. Series A shares (NASDAQ: WBD) are trading like a merger-arbitrage ticker rather than a traditional media stock on Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2025, with the price effectively “pinned” near $30 as investors handicap two competing endgames: Paramount Skydance’s $30-per-share all-cash tender offer versus Netflix’s prior agreement to acquire key WBD assets at a $27.75 per-share implied value. Netflix+1 As of the latest available quote Tuesday, WBD traded around $29.25, down modestly on the day, after touching an intraday high near $29.69. That sub-$30 trading level is the market’s way of pricing in a central

Texas Instruments (TXN) Stock News Today: Goldman Sachs Downgrade, Sherman Fab Ramp, and Wall Street Forecasts (Dec. 16, 2025)

Texas Instruments Incorporated (NASDAQ: TXN) is back in the spotlight on December 16, 2025, as investors balance two forces moving in opposite directions: near-term pressure on the earnings story (highlighted by a high-profile Wall Street downgrade) and long-term confidence in the company’s U.S. manufacturing buildout, including a major Sherman, Texas production milestone expected this week. With TXN trading modestly lower intraday, today’s coverage centers on whether Texas Instruments’ aggressive capacity investments—once framed as a strategic advantage—could temporarily become a drag on margins, while the analog semiconductor cycle recovers more slowly than hoped.

Netskope, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTSK) stock is back in motion on December 16, 2025, rebounding after a sharp post-earnings slide that reminded investors of a simple truth about newly public, high-growth cybersecurity names: the fundamentals can be strong and the stock can still whip around like a drone in a wind tunnel. By late morning in U.S. trading, Netskope shares were changing hands around the $20 level—up roughly 7% on the day—after closing down 8.06% on Dec. 15. StockAnalysis+1 The tug-of-war now is clear: bulls point to accelerating subscription momentum (ARR and contracted backlog), improving non-GAAP margins, and new AI-era product
