Updated: December 14, 2025 IonQ, Inc. (NYSE: IONQ) heads into the week of Dec. 15–19, 2025 with the kind of setup traders love and long-term investors fear: big expectations, big narratives, and big price swings. The quantum-computing pure play just finished a volatile week with multiple “headline catalysts” landing almost back-to-back—an EU quantum-communications rollout, fresh analyst coverage calling quantum “the next big compute revolution,” and a cluster of insider filings that inevitably get over-interpreted in a momentum tape. Here’s what actually happened this week (Dec. 8–12), what the latest coverage and forecasts say, and the concrete catalysts likely to matter

Boeing Stock (BA) This Week: Spirit Acquisition, FAA MAX 10 Review, Deliveries, and Key Catalysts for the Week Ahead (Updated Dec. 14, 2025)

Boeing stock (NYSE: BA) finished the week higher after a volatile stretch driven by Spirit AeroSystems integration, November delivery data, FAA scrutiny of the 737 MAX 10, and fresh program headlines—including another Air Force One delay. Here’s what moved BA this week and what investors are watching next. Boeing’s stock ended the latest trading week with a familiar “two-steps-forward, one-step-back” rhythm—typical for a turnaround story where the real battle is fought in factories, regulatory offices, and supply chains rather than on earnings headlines.

The big narrative hasn’t changed: Carvana’s upcoming S&P 500 addition has poured fuel on an already powerful momentum trade—while the fundamentals story (profitability, scale, and improving credit profile) continues to give bulls something sturdier than vibes. The next few sessions, however, could be especially noisy: major U.S. economic data, options expiration, and S&P 500 “index effect” positioning are all stacking up at the same

JTC Plc Share Price, News and Forecast: Permira’s 1,340p Takeover Keeps LSE:JTC Range‑Bound — What to Watch This Week (Updated 14 Dec 2025)

Updated Sunday, 14 December 2025 — JTC plc (LSE:JTC) is trading in an unusually tight band because the stock is effectively in “takeover limbo”: markets are weighing a recommended all‑cash acquisition at 1,340p per share against the time, conditions and risks of getting that deal over the line.

Big Tech Stocks Week Ahead: Fed Data Blitz, AI Bubble Jitters and Nvidia’s China Chip Twist (Updated Dec. 14, 2025)

Updated: December 14, 2025 Big Tech U.S. stocks head into the new week with two forces pulling in opposite directions: a still-booming AI infrastructure buildout—and a fresh wave of investor anxiety about whether the “AI trade” is getting ahead of itself. Last week (Dec. 8–14) delivered a bit of everything: a high-profile call to rotate away from the “Magnificent Seven,” a sharp late-week pullback in tech and semiconductors, major new AI capex commitments from hyperscalers, and a rapidly evolving Nvidia-China story that is now entangled in both Beijing’s internal approvals and Washington’s political scrutiny.

Dec. 14, 2025 — U.S. semiconductor and chip stocks head into the new week with a familiar combination of tailwinds and landmines: booming AI infrastructure demand on one side, and valuation sensitivity, China policy turbulence, and margin questions on the other. The past seven days delivered a reminder that the “AI trade” can turn quickly. A sharp late-week pullback — led by heavyweight chip names — left investors reassessing how much perfection is already priced into the sector and how quickly the next leg of AI monetization can show up in earnings.
