Applied Digital stock rises premarket as ChronoScale cloud spinout with Ekso draws investor focus

Applied Digital stock rises premarket as ChronoScale cloud spinout with Ekso draws investor focus

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 08:45 ET — Premarket Applied Digital Corporation shares rose about 1% to $24.31 in premarket trading on Wednesday, after a proposed cloud-business spinout kept the AI infrastructure stock in focus. The shares closed Tuesday at $24.08. Investing.com The plan would carve out Applied Digital Cloud and pair it with Nasdaq-listed Ekso Bionics, leaving Applied Digital more exposed to its core data-center development and colocation business. That matters now as investors continue to place a premium on scarce AI computing capacity while questioning how smaller players fund rapid expansion. The proposal also lands at a moment

Intel stock price today: INTC rises in premarket as Nvidia’s $5 billion stake takes focus

Intel stock price today: INTC rises in premarket as Nvidia’s $5 billion stake takes focus

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 06:47 ET — Premarket Intel shares rose in premarket trading on Wednesday, extending gains after Nvidia’s $5 billion stake became official in a recent filing. The stock was last up 1.6% at $37.90. Investing.com The move matters because Nvidia’s cash investment is both a balance-sheet boost and a vote of confidence for Intel at a time when the chipmaker is trying to rebuild credibility with customers and investors. It also comes with dilution, as Intel issued new shares to fund the deal. With year-end volumes typically thinner, incremental headlines can move prices more than usual.

FTAI Aviation stock flirts with $200 after jet-engine-to-data-center power pivot

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 04:53 ET — Premarket FTAI Aviation Ltd. shares hovered near $200 in early premarket trading on Wednesday, up about 0.1% after surging 14.4% in the prior session. The stock closed Tuesday at $197.68 after touching $199.88 intraday. StockAnalysis The rally matters because it adds a new growth narrative to a company best known for aircraft engines. Investors have chased “power-adjacent” names as artificial intelligence drives a wave of data-center construction and electricity demand. The pitch from FTAI is speed. The company is offering a way to repurpose existing aviation hardware into power generation, rather than

Stock Market Today: S&P 500 futures slip on New Year’s Eve as Meta’s Manus deal fuels AI chatter

Stock Market Today: S&P 500 futures slip on New Year’s Eve as Meta’s Manus deal fuels AI chatter

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 04:34 ET — Premarket U.S. stock index futures edged lower early Wednesday, setting up a cautious start to New Year’s Eve trading as investors weighed a fresh burst of dealmaking in artificial intelligence against a late-year pullback in big tech. The final session of the year tends to bring lighter volumes, and that can magnify moves as funds rebalance portfolios and adjust risk before year-end statements and benchmark resets. The S&P 500 is up about 17% so far this year and the Dow has logged a long monthly winning streak, leaving little tolerance for surprises.

Arm stock edges higher as Fed minutes steer year-end tech trade — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 23:11 ET — Market closed Arm Holdings’ U.S.-listed sponsored ADRs (ARM.O) ended Tuesday up 0.32% at $110.86, a small gain in a choppy session that left the broader market slightly lower. MarketWatch+1 The muted move matters now because investors are recalibrating rate-sensitive growth exposure into year-end, after minutes from the Federal Reserve’s December meeting highlighted unusually sharp divisions over the path of policy. Reuters For Arm, the next clear company catalyst is earnings.

IBM stock slips in thin year-end trade as tech rotation bites; eyes turn to Jan. 28 earnings

IBM stock slips in thin year-end trade as tech rotation bites; eyes turn to Jan. 28 earnings

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 21:44 ET — Market closed International Business Machines fell 1.2% on Tuesday, ending at $302.05 as the stock eased back from recent highs in the final stretch of the year. Yahoo Finance The timing mattered. Liquidity tends to thin late in December, and that can amplify moves when investors rebalance portfolios heading into year-end. IBM has still gained about 37% so far in 2025, and Tuesday’s drop pushed it below key near-term trend levels that chart-focused traders track.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 21:48 ET — Market closed Rigetti Computing, Inc. shares closed up 0.7% at $22.41 on Tuesday. About 24.9 million shares changed hands, a level traders flagged as elevated for the stock. The move mattered because quantum-computing “pure plays” have been a fast-money trade in late December, with sharp rallies followed by quick pullbacks as liquidity thins. Investors.com said the group saw a brief surge on Dec. 22 before a three-day sell-off tied to profit-taking and lighter institutional activity during the holidays.

Disney stock barely budges after-hours as DOJ cites $10 mln YouTube kids-privacy settlement

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 19:19 ET — After-hours Walt Disney (DIS) shares were little changed in after-hours trading on Tuesday after the U.S. Justice Department said the company agreed to pay a $10 million civil penalty to settle allegations it violated children’s online privacy laws in some videos uploaded to YouTube. Reuters The settlement matters because it targets how content makers label kid-directed videos online — a designation that can determine whether platforms collect data and serve targeted ads. Privacy enforcement has become a recurring headline risk for media groups as more viewing and marketing shifts to digital platforms.

No $2,000 IRS stimulus check is coming in February 2026 — but Trump’s tariff-check talk keeps the rumors alive

7 February 2026
