AI stocks today: Nvidia slips after Intel stake filing as chip rally pauses

AI stocks today: Nvidia slips after Intel stake filing as chip rally pauses

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:37 ET — Regular session Nvidia shares fell nearly 2% in morning trading on Monday after Intel said in a filing that the AI chip leader completed a $5 billion purchase of Intel stock. Intel shares were slightly higher. Reuters The pullback matters because big tech and chip stocks have done much of the heavy lifting for U.S. equities in 2025, leaving the market sensitive to moves in a handful of AI bellwethers. Reuters It also lands in the final, holiday-thinned stretch of the year, when liquidity can be light and small flows can have

D-Wave stock steadies after brutal pullback as Wall Street targets clash

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:07 ET D-Wave Quantum shares were little changed on Monday as the stock tried to stabilize after a sharp pullback that has renewed debate over how to value early-stage quantum-computing companies. Shares traded at about $25.35 in morning trade. The swings matter because U.S.-listed “pure-play” quantum stocks — companies focused mainly on quantum rather than diversified technology businesses — have become one of the market’s most volatile corners into year-end. New analyst coverage has added targets and narratives, but it has not narrowed the gap between bullish long-term forecasts and near-term valuation concerns. Fintel+3TipRanks+3TipRanks+3 D-Wave

New SEC filings reveal who just trimmed JPMorgan stock

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:19 ET Key points: James Hambro & Partners LLP trimmed its stake in JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) by 5.4% in the third quarter, selling 39,479 shares, a regulatory filing showed. Two other money managers also disclosed smaller reductions in separate filings.

The disclosures are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and typically reflect holdings at quarter-end, meaning

Bitcoin dips under $88,000 as year-end trading thins; Strategy buy keeps crypto stocks in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:34 ET — Regular session Bitcoin edged lower in morning New York trading on Monday, slipping 0.3% to $87,647 after briefly climbing above $90,000 earlier in the session. The muted move matters because thin year-end liquidity can exaggerate swings, with many desks operating with reduced staffing and fewer catalysts before the calendar turns. Reuters reported U.S. markets are heading into a holiday-shortened week, with trading volumes expected to be light. Reuters Bitcoin is also sitting near a widely watched round-number level at $90,000, leaving traders sensitive to any shift in risk appetite tied to interest

Barrick slides as gold cools from record highs; Fed minutes in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:25 ET — Regular session Barrick Mining shares slid about 6% on Monday as gold prices retreated from record highs and investors locked in profits into year-end. Google+1 The move matters because gold’s 2025 rally has been steep, leaving miners exposed to sharp swings when traders unwind positions. Gold is often treated as a safe-haven — an asset investors buy when they want shelter from economic or geopolitical stress — and that demand can fade quickly when risks appear to ease. Reuters Investors are also looking ahead to the Federal Reserve’s December meeting minutes, due

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:23 ET — Regular session U.S. stocks edged lower on Monday as heavyweight technology shares retreated, opening a holiday-shortened week with caution. At 9:35 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI) fell 66.86 points, or 0.14%, to 48,645.62.

Dow slips from record close as tech rally cools in year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:30 ET — Regular session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped on Monday as heavyweight technology shares gave back some of last week’s gains, pulling the blue-chip index off its recent highs. By 9:35 a.m. ET, the Dow was down 66.86 points, or 0.14%, at 48,645.62. Reuters The move matters because the final week of the year typically brings lighter trading volume, which can exaggerate swings.

MarketBeat The move matters because Rocket Lab’s stock has been whipsawed by defense-contract headlines into year-end, a period when thin volumes can exaggerate price moves.
