Oklo stock ends 2025 near $72: what’s driving OKLO and what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 21:05 ET — Market closed Oklo Inc. shares were last up about 0.2% at $71.76 on Wednesday after the U.S. market close, capping a muted year-end session for the nuclear start-up. The near-flat finish matters because Oklo’s stock has been driven less by current earnings and more by expectations for when it can license and deploy its first reactors. That puts investors’ attention on regulatory timelines and how the company funds its buildout. Oklo+1 Oklo is developing what it calls the Aurora “powerhouse,” part of a wave of so-called small modular reactors (SMRs) — smaller

Reuters The year-end drift matters because the market’s gains have been driven by the artificial intelligence trade,

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 21:11 ET — Market closed Caterpillar Inc shares slipped about 0.8% on Wednesday to close at $572.87, as U.S. stocks ended the year’s final session lower. MarketWatch+1 The move matters because Caterpillar is widely treated as a read-through on capital spending, from construction equipment to mining and energy projects. With 2026 starting amid shifting rate expectations and trade uncertainty, investors are using late-year price action as a quick gauge of risk appetite. Reuters Caterpillar is also coming off a strong 2025 run, leaving the stock more sensitive to profit-taking and any reset in expectations around

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 20:53 ET — Market closed Lam Research Corp shares fell 1.5% to $171.18 on Wednesday, extending a three-session slide as the chip equipment maker closed out the final trading day of 2025.

Mastercard stock ends 2025 lower as Wall Street slips — what’s next for MA shares

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 20:52 ET — Market closed Mastercard Incorporated shares fell 1.13% on Wednesday to close at $570.88, after trading between $570.79 and $578.00. The late-year dip matters because investors often treat card networks like Mastercard as read-throughs on consumer and business spending, especially into the first data-heavy weeks of a new year. It also lands at a moment when portfolio managers are resetting risk after a strong 2025, with interest-rate expectations and economic momentum likely to steer early-2026 positioning. Wall Street’s main indexes ended 2025 lower in holiday-thin trading, with the S&P 500 down 0.74%, and

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 20:44 ET — Market closed Nebius Group N.V. shares ended down 1.7% at $83.71 on Wednesday, after U.S. filings showed several insiders planned sales of the company’s Class A ordinary shares in early January. The stock traded between $82.94 and $86.41, with about 7.1 million shares changing hands. The disclosure matters because Nebius has been a high-beta proxy for the AI infrastructure buildout, where sentiment can swing quickly on any sign of incremental supply.

10% yield play on Lululemon draws options interest as SM Energy tops investor search lists

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 19:49 ET A new options trade pitch targeting about a 10% annualized return is putting Lululemon Athletica back on investors’ screens as the stock trades far below its highs. The setup matters now because investors are trying to balance two competing forces: bargain hunting after sharp drawdowns and the appeal of cash-like returns that can be earned while waiting. It also shows how options — once mainly the domain of professionals — are increasingly being used as a “paid waiting” strategy, especially when shares are volatile and valuations are in focus.
