Reddit stock pops nearly 4% as Needham spotlights AI-search citations

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 01:35 ET — Market closed Reddit, Inc. shares closed up 3.9% on Monday, outpacing a softer U.S. market as traders leaned into fresh analyst commentary linking the company to the rise of AI-powered search. The stock ended at $234.65 after trading between $223.91 and $236.00.

Nio’s new ES8 hits 40,000 deliveries in 100 days — and the ramp is speeding up

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:42 ET Nio Inc said on Monday it had delivered the 40,000th unit of its third-generation ES8, a flagship three-row electric SUV, roughly 100 days after the model launched. CnEVPost+1 The milestone lands as the Chinese EV maker heads into year-end with investors watching whether higher-priced models can keep momentum in a fiercely competitive home market dominated by heavy discounting and fast product launches. Nio guided in November for fourth-quarter deliveries of 120,000 to 125,000 vehicles, below an earlier goal of 150,000, and said it aimed for its first non-GAAP quarterly profit — a measure

Tesla stock slips into year-end week as robotaxi scrutiny builds

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 00:16 ET — Market closed Tesla shares closed down 2.1% on Friday at $475.19, after touching a session low of $473.82, according to market data. Yahoo Finance The move matters because Tesla’s valuation increasingly hinges on its autonomy ambitions, and the regulatory bar for driverless operations is moving in real time. A tightening rulebook can slow deployments and raise compliance costs for companies selling the “self-driving” story. Reuters Over the weekend, a Reuters report on Alphabet’s (GOOGL.O) Waymo highlighted how a San Francisco power outage this month left robotaxis stalled at intersections when traffic lights
