SMCI stock slips near $30 as Nvidia cools in year-end trade; what to watch

SMCI stock slips near $30 as Nvidia cools in year-end trade; what to watch

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:46 ET — Regular session Super Micro Computer shares fell about 1.1% to $30.29 in late afternoon trading on Monday, after swinging between $29.82 and $31.12 earlier in the session. The move matters now because year-end positioning is thinning liquidity and magnifying day-to-day swings in high-volatility tech names. Supermicro is treated as a proxy for spending on data-center builds, particularly systems that bundle advanced graphics chips into full server racks. With only a few sessions left in 2025, risk appetite has started to look more selective across AI suppliers. U.S. stocks dipped in light, holiday-shortened

DRDGOLD stock sinks as gold pulls back — what moved DRD today

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:07 ET — Regular session U.S.-listed shares of South Africa’s DRDGOLD Limited were down about 8.3% at $30.55 in afternoon trading on Monday, as gold-linked equities sold off. The stock opened at $31.37 and has traded between $30.25 and $33.15 so far in the session. The slide mattered because gold miners often move more than the underlying metal. Their costs tend to be slow to change, so swings in the gold price can quickly reshape profit expectations. That sensitivity comes into focus near year-end, when funds and commodity desks rebalance and lock in gains. Thin

Reuters The move comes in the holiday-shortened final week of 2025, with U.S. markets set to close on Thursday for New Year’s Day.

Society Pass (SOPA) stock surges as TikTok Shop live-commerce launch sparks frenzy

Society Pass said Bain & Company projects a $90 billion social commerce market in the region. GlobeNewswire For Society Pass, the launch is an attempt to turn a creator-led marketing business

Synopsys stock today rises as tech slips, Dec. 30 lawsuit deadline nears

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:46 ET — Regular session Synopsys, Inc. (SNPS) shares were up 0.4% at $479.18 in afternoon trading on Monday. The chip design software maker traded between $471.28 and $484.33. The move stood out as the broader market drifted lower into year-end. SPY was down about 0.3%, while QQQ fell 0.4% and the semiconductor-focused SOXX slipped 0.3%. Fresh legal headlines also put Synopsys back on some traders’ screens. Plaintiff law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld said in a notice that investors have until Dec. 30 to ask the court to appoint a lead plaintiff in a

Nvidia dips on Intel stake filing as AI stocks cool; DigitalBridge jumps on SoftBank deal

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:00 ET — Regular session Nvidia shares slid on Monday after Intel disclosed in a filing that the AI-chip designer had completed a $5 billion investment in the chipmaker, as a broader retreat in heavyweight technology stocks weighed on AI-linked names. Reuters+1 The move matters now because AI leaders have been central to this year’s U.S. equity run, and thin holiday trading can magnify swings as investors adjust positions into year-end. Reuters Investors are also tracking big-ticket infrastructure and partnership moves for clues on where the next wave of AI spending will land in 2026
MongoDB stock slides as “MongoBleed” exploitation warning puts database security in focus

MongoDB stock slides as “MongoBleed” exploitation warning puts database security in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:18 ET — Regular session MongoDB Inc (MDB) shares were down about 2.2% at $426.35 in afternoon trading on Monday, after swinging between $421.11 and $435.80 earlier in the session. The decline put a spotlight on a cyber risk that can matter quickly for database providers: patching cadence. When a vulnerability can be exploited without a login, security teams often move to lock down internet exposure before they do anything else. That urgency can ripple into spending decisions. Enterprises running self-managed databases may delay rollouts or add controls, while vendors face questions about whether cloud-managed

MercadoLibre stock today: MELI edges higher as year-end trading stays thin

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:28 ET — Regular session. MercadoLibre, Inc. shares were up 0.4% at $2,014.52 on Monday afternoon, after trading as high as $2,037.13 and as low as $1,986.98. The Latin American e-commerce and payments bellwether is heading into the final three sessions of 2025, a stretch when lighter liquidity can make small moves look bigger than they are. That timing matters because investors often use liquid growth stocks to fine-tune exposure before year-end rebalancing, even when there is little fresh company-specific news. U.S. Treasury yields — the interest rates paid on government debt — eased and

Verizon stock today edges up as VZ sets Jan. 30 earnings date, telecoms hold firmer than tech

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:32 ET — Regular session Verizon Communications Inc shares (VZ) edged up 0.1% to $40.53 in afternoon trading on Monday after the telecom operator said it will report fourth-quarter 2025 earnings on Jan. 30.

Wells Fargo stock dips in late trade as yields ease; Fed liquidity, earnings date in focus

Wells Fargo stock dips in late trade as yields ease; Fed liquidity, earnings date in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:25 ET — Regular session Wells Fargo & Company shares were down 0.6% at $94.66 on Monday afternoon, giving back ground after an early rise and underperforming their intraday high. The move matters because banks remain tightly linked to the interest-rate outlook heading into year-end. Even modest swings in yields can change expectations for what lenders earn on loans versus what they pay for deposits. Trading conditions are also thin in the final week of the year, which can exaggerate sector moves. That has left investors watching rates and liquidity gauges as closely as company

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:28 ET — Regular session DoorDash, Inc. shares fell about 1.3% to $230.91 in afternoon trading on Monday after touching a session low of $230.14. At 3:28 p.m. ET, the stock was down $3.04 from its previous close, after earlier hitting $234.98. The pullback lands in the final week of the year, when thin liquidity can amplify moves and portfolio managers adjust exposure ahead of year-end. DoorDash is closely watched as a read-through on consumer spending and app-based delivery demand, an area where investors have been quick to reward steady volume and punish heavier spending.

AngloGold Ashanti tumbles as margin hikes and profit-taking hit gold miners

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:18 ET — Regular session AngloGold Ashanti Plc shares slid 7.1% to $84.76 in afternoon trading, tracking a sharp reversal in precious metals that knocked gold miners lower. The stock touched $83.81 at the session low after peaking at $89.55 earlier in the day. The selling followed a broad pullback in gold and silver after CME Group raised margin requirements for precious-metals futures. A margin requirement is the cash collateral traders must post to hold leveraged positions, and higher margins can force investors to cut exposure. AP News That matters now because year-end trading is
