D-Wave stock slides into year-end as quantum peers retreat in thin trade

D-Wave stock slides into year-end as quantum peers retreat in thin trade

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 02:54 ET — Market closed. D-Wave Quantum Inc shares were last down 8.1% at $25.29, extending a late-week pullback in U.S.-listed quantum-computing names. The move matters because the final trading days of the year often come with thinner liquidity, which can amplify swings in volatile, high-momentum stocks. That can leave price action looking dramatic even when the broader market backdrop is relatively calm. Reuters U.S. stocks ended nearly flat in a light post-Christmas session on Friday, Reuters reported. Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group, said the market was “catching our breath” after a

Western Digital stock ends week higher as year-end data, AI storage demand stay in focus

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 23:13 ET — Market closed Western Digital shares ended the last U.S. session higher, closing up 1.1% at $181.54 on Friday. MarketWatch The move matters into the final stretch of the year because investors have leaned into “picks-and-shovels” hardware tied to artificial intelligence, where storage demand rises as data-center capacity expands. Reuters Markets also face a year-end run of U.S. economic releases and Federal Reserve minutes that can swing interest-rate expectations, a key input for tech-heavy trades.

Texas Instruments stock in focus after Weebit Nano lands ReRAM licensing deal

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 22:25 ET — Market closed Texas Instruments (TXN.O) shares are likely to be in focus when U.S. markets reopen on Monday after memory-technology firm Weebit Nano (WBT.AX) said it licensed its ReRAM technology to the chipmaker. GlobeNewswire+1 TI shares last closed down about 0.1% at $176.88 on Friday. Texas Instruments Investor Relations The agreement matters because it targets memory inside “embedded processing” chips — the microcontrollers and other small processors that run equipment in factories, cars and consumer devices. Those chips need non-volatile memory, which retains data even when power is off. GlobeNewswire+1 Weebit said

IonQ drops with quantum peers into year-end, as investors weigh next catalysts

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 9:31 PM ET — Market closed IonQ shares fell 7.6% to $46.00 in their last U.S. session on Friday, retreating with other quantum-computing stocks into the final days of the year. The move matters because IonQ is one of a small set of publicly traded “pure plays” in quantum computing — companies whose main business is building quantum hardware and services — and the group has been prone to sharp swings on relatively little news. Reuters With the sector still early in commercial adoption, traders have been treating customer deals and roadmaps as key markers

The move matters now because investors are weighing whether ServiceNow’s push into big-ticket dealmaking will strengthen growth without adding unwanted balance-sheet risk, at a time when year-end trading can be choppy and volumes thin. investor.servicenow.com+1 A Bloomberg report on Friday highlighted that ServiceNow has committed at least $12 billion in 2025 to acquisitions or strategic investments, underscoring why the market is parsing each new

Nvidia stock closes higher on Groq licensing deal as Wall Street heads into year-end

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 18:08 ET — Market closed. Nvidia (NVIDIA Corporation) shares last closed up 1.0% at $190.53 on Friday, outperforming a flat broader market after news of a licensing deal with AI chip startup Groq. Nasdaq+1 The move matters because it highlights Nvidia’s effort to defend its lead in artificial intelligence computing as more workloads shift toward “inference” — the step where trained AI models generate answers for users in real time — a segment where Nvidia faces intensifying competition.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 1:03 p.m. ET — Market closed Data center stocks are heading into the final trading days of 2025 with a familiar set of tailwinds—and a growing list of real-world constraints investors can’t ignore. The AI buildout that helped power much of this year’s equity gains remains the dominant demand driver for everything from GPUs and networking gear to cooling systems and “four walls” colocation space. But as Wall Street heads into a holiday-shortened week, thin liquidity, year-end positioning, and the market’s next read on the Federal Reserve are likely to decide whether the sector starts

Quantum Computing Stocks: IonQ, Rigetti, D-Wave and QUBT Slide Into Year-End—What to Watch Before Monday’s Open

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:45 p.m. ET — Market closed (Weekend). Quantum computing stocks are heading into the final trading week of the year with a familiar mix of promise and turbulence—exactly the kind of setup that can amplify both opportunity and risk when liquidity is thin. In the most recent regular session (Friday), several of the best-known “pure-play” quantum names posted sharp declines even as the broader U.S. market largely drifted in quiet, post-holiday trade. IonQ (IONQ) finished at $46.00, down about 7.6%. Rigetti Computing (RGTI) closed at $22.38, down roughly 8.6%. D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) ended at $25.29,

With the S&P 500 hovering near record territory after a quiet, low-volume post-Christmas session, investors are heading into the final trading days of 2025 weighing two powerful—and conflicting—narratives: the continued buildout of AI infrastructure that keeps lifting chip and cloud leaders, and a growing drumbeat of skepticism about valuation, deal structures, and how the AI boom is being financed.
