Quantum Computing Stocks Slip Into New Year Holiday as Traders Eye CES, Earnings Next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 13:13 ET — Market closed Quantum computing stocks ended 2025 on a softer note, with several of the sector’s most traded names closing lower ahead of the New Year’s Day market holiday.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 13:05 ET — Market closed Nvidia ended 2025 down 0.6%, but was back in focus on Thursday after Reuters reported it asked Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co to ramp production of its H200 artificial-intelligence processors to meet demand from China.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 1:03 PM ET — Market closed China’s BYD reported its weakest annual sales growth in five years, putting a spotlight on the pressure from an EV price war as U.S. markets stayed shut on Thursday for the New Year’s holiday. Reuters The update matters now because China is the world’s biggest electric-vehicle market, and year-end sales and delivery tallies often reset expectations for demand, pricing and margins. Traders also have Tesla’s fourth-quarter deliveries report on Friday as the next major checkpoint for the sector. Reuters In the last U.S. session on Wednesday, Tesla closed down

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 12:48 ET — Market closed Nvidia has approached Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co about ramping output of its H200 artificial intelligence chip as demand from Chinese technology firms accelerates, sources told Reuters. Reuters The China demand story lands as investors gauge whether the AI trade can extend after it powered much of Wall Street’s 2025 gains and pushed major U.S. indexes to record highs, Reuters reported.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 12:28 ET — Market closed.

New York Stock Exchange The pause matters because investors are starting 2026 with equities priced for continued strength after a year dominated by tariff headlines and an artificial intelligence-led surge in megacap technology. “It’s frankly hard to find an asset class that did poorly outside of the U.S. dollar,” said Scott Ladner, chief investment officer at Horizon in Charlotte, North Carolina.

SoFi stock slips into 2026 after year-end selloff — here’s what traders are watching next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 12:00 ET — Market closed. SoFi Technologies, Inc. shares ended the year on a softer note, closing down 1.4% at $26.18 on Wednesday after trading between $26.08 and $26.90. The move matters because the first days of a new year often reset positioning, and SoFi’s stock has tended to trade like a rate-sensitive growth name. When investors de-risk, fintech lenders can get hit harder than the broader market. With U.S. markets shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday, attention shifts to what reopens trading in 2026: interest-rate expectations, risk appetite and the first
