AI stocks today: Nvidia AI21 buyout talk hits tape as Meta climbs on Manus deal

AI stocks today: Nvidia AI21 buyout talk hits tape as Meta climbs on Manus deal

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 13:31 ET — Regular session Nvidia shares were nearly flat on Tuesday after an Israeli report said the AI-chip leader is in advanced talks to buy startup AI21 Labs for as much as $3 billion. Nvidia was down about 0.02% at $188.18 in early afternoon trade. Reuters The M&A chatter is landing in a holiday-thin week when investors are reassessing crowded AI trades after a late-2025 tech rally stalled on Monday. Strategists say the rotation has looked more like year-end rebalancing than panic selling. Reuters Traders are also bracing for macro headlines that can swing

Reddit stock price today barely moves as CTO share-sale filing and AI-search thesis collide

Reddit stock price today barely moves as CTO share-sale filing and AI-search thesis collide

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 12:33 ET — Regular session Reddit shares were little changed on Tuesday, holding near $234.60 in midday trading, as investors digested an insider sale disclosed in a regulatory filing and a fresh round of bullish talk on the company’s role in AI-driven search. The muted move matters because Reddit has been one of the market’s standout winners since its March 2024 debut, and attention is shifting from momentum to whether the platform can keep turning AI-driven attention into ad dollars. A year-end tape that has been broadly calm leaves company-specific signals — even routine ones

Intel (INTC) stock jumps after Nvidia closes $5 billion share purchase

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:30 ET — Regular session Intel shares rose 3.8% to $38.08 in morning trade on Tuesday after the chipmaker confirmed Nvidia had completed a $5 billion stock purchase. The transaction lands as Intel looks to reinforce its finances after years of missteps and capital-intensive production expansions, with the Nvidia investment seen as a key lifeline. Reuters In a Form 8-K — a filing companies use to disclose material events between quarterly reports — Intel said it issued and sold 214,776,632 shares to Nvidia for $5.0 billion in cash, or $23.28 per share, and that the

SanDisk stock today: SNDK rebounds from early dip as year-end trade thins

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:41 ET — Regular session Sandisk Corp shares rose 0.8% to $246.30 in late morning trade on Tuesday after dropping as much as 3.1% earlier in the session. The stock ranged from $236.64 to $246.84. The year-end tape has put Sandisk back on watchlists because it has been one of 2025’s biggest winners. Kiplinger recently ranked SanDisk as the S&P 500’s top gainer for the year, up about 594%, alongside storage and memory peers Western Digital, Micron Technology and Seagate Technology.

Cisco stock today: CSCO slips in late-morning trade as tech pressure lingers ahead of Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:31 ET — Regular session Cisco Systems, Inc. shares dipped on Tuesday, tracking a cautious turn in large-cap tech and year-end repositioning with Federal Reserve minutes due later in the day. The move matters because liquidity is thinner than normal in the holiday-shortened week, which can amplify small shifts in sentiment. U.S. markets are closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day, leaving investors a narrow window to adjust portfolios before 2026. Reuters Cisco’s modest decline also comes a day after U.S. stocks ended lower as heavyweight technology names retreated from last week’s record-high levels in

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:16 ET — Regular session Advanced Micro Devices shares edged down about 0.3% to $214.97 in early trade on Tuesday, after opening at $216.00 and moving between $214.76 and $216.54. The stock’s drift lower came as Wall Street opened subdued, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq little changed after a tech-led pullback the prior session. Reuters Why it matters now: the market is in the final stretch of 2025, when liquidity can thin and small swings in mega-cap tech tend to spill into chip stocks. “This is (not) the beginning of the end of the

NASA wants a long-range drone detection system at Kennedy Space Center as security tightens

NASA wants a long-range drone detection system at Kennedy Space Center as security tightens

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 08:24 ET NASA is seeking a drone-detection and analysis system to spot unauthorized aircraft over the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, according to a sources sought notice posted for industry review. (HigherGov) The capability matters because the agency said the data would be used to make rapid decisions to protect NASA personnel, the public, launch vehicles and other high-value assets. The notice also underscores the sensitivity of the mission: performance could involve access to classified information or work in a security area up to the level of Secret, it said.

Samsung and SK Hynix get U.S. 2026 license to ship chipmaking tools to China as key waiver expires

Samsung and SK Hynix get U.S. 2026 license to ship chipmaking tools to China as key waiver expires

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 04:40 ET The U.S. government has granted Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix annual licences to bring chip manufacturing equipment to their facilities in China for 2026, two people familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Reuters The decision lands days before a broader privilege known as “validated end user” status expires on Dec. 31. The status allowed certain foreign-owned plants in China to receive some U.S.-origin chipmaking tools under sweeping exemptions rather than applying shipment by shipment. That timing matters for the memory-chip supply chain. Samsung and SK Hynix use China as a key production

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 04:59 ET — Premarket Micron Technology shares were up 3.4% in premarket trading on Tuesday, indicating a move to about $294.37. The early rise comes as memory-chip stocks remain keyed to supply headlines. A Reuters report said the U.S. granted Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix annual licences for 2026 to bring chipmaking equipment into their China facilities, a development that could influence output at two major Micron rivals.

AI Stocks Today: Nvidia Slips Premarket After Intel Filing Confirms $5B Stake

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 04:29 ET — Premarket Nvidia shares dipped 1.2% to $188.22 in premarket trading on Tuesday after Intel said a $5 billion stock purchase by the AI chip designer had been completed. Intel shares rose 1.3% to $36.68. (source) The move lands as investors reassess crowded “AI trade” positions into the final sessions of the year, with thinner liquidity often amplifying early moves in mega-cap tech.
