NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 22:10 ET — Market closed QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) shares fell 0.8% to close at $173.43 on Monday, after trading between $175.19 and $172.79.

Amphenol stock slips in year-end tech pullback; Fed minutes and housing data loom

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 9:54 PM ET — Market closed Amphenol Corp shares fell 0.4% to end at $136.90 on Monday, as heavyweight technology names retreated and pulled the broader market lower in the final week of 2025. StockAnalysis+1 The move matters now because Amphenol sits at the intersection of industrial and tech spending: it sells connectors, sensors and high-speed cables used in data communications and other end markets that often trade with investor sentiment toward big tech and AI-linked hardware demand. Reuters With trading conditions typically thinner into year-end, swings tied to positioning can have an outsized impact

Synopsys stock closes higher as traders eye Dec. 30 lawsuit deadline and Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:23 ET — Market closed Synopsys shares ended Monday up 0.4% at $478.97, holding gains into the close even as broader U.S. stocks slipped in holiday-thinned trading. Reuters The chip-design software maker is closely watched because its electronic design automation (EDA) tools—software used to design and test chips—sit early in the semiconductor supply chain and tend to reflect demand for next-generation computing. Reuters The timing matters. U.S. markets are heading into the final days of the year with light liquidity, while investors await the Federal Reserve’s December meeting minutes on Tuesday for clues on the

KLA stock drops after tech pullback hits chip equipment names; Fed minutes next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:14 ET — Market closed KLA Corp shares fell on Monday, snapping a six-session winning streak, as a pullback in heavyweight technology stocks spilled into chip-linked names. MarketWatch+1 The move matters now because chip equipment makers like KLA sit early in the semiconductor supply chain, and their shares often track shifts in investor appetite for the tech trade. Year-end positioning can exaggerate those swings when liquidity is thin. Reuters+1 Wall Street started the holiday-shortened week on a softer note after last week’s rally, with the Nasdaq down 0.5% and the S&P 500 off 0.35%, Reuters

Western Digital stock slips as tech cools; Fed minutes and Jan. 22 earnings date loom

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:12 ET — Market closed Western Digital Corp shares slipped 1.0% on Monday to close at $179.68, after swinging between $176.70 and $184.77 in choppy year-end trade. StockAnalysis The move matters because Western Digital has been one of 2025’s standout AI infrastructure winners, helped by demand for high-capacity hard drives used in AI data centers. Barron’s said Western Digital is up 303% this year, while rival Seagate has gained 232%. Barron’s Investors now head into a thin final stretch of the year with minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Dec. 9-10 meeting due at 2 p.m.

SMCI stock slips as Super Micro flags operations chief retirement in new 8-K

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:04 ET — Market closed Super Micro Computer (SMCI.O) shares fell 1.8% on Monday to close at $30.08 after the server maker disclosed an operations leadership change in a regulatory filing. Investing.com+1 The change matters because Super Micro’s growth story depends on execution — building and shipping complex, high-powered servers used in artificial intelligence data centers. The company has faced investor scrutiny this year after it cited delivery delays tied to last-minute design changes. Reuters Monday’s move also came as investors trimmed exposure to large technology stocks that have led 2025’s rally, leaving little appetite

DoorDash stock falls as year-end dip hits growth names; Evercore reiterates bullish view

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 20:55 ET — Market closed DoorDash (DASH.O) shares fell 1.2% on Monday to close at $231.01, underperforming a broadly weaker session on Wall Street as holiday-thinned trading drained momentum from growth stocks. The move comes as investors try to square upbeat demand signals with a company that has warned it plans to spend more aggressively in 2026, a posture that can pressure near-term profits even when revenue keeps rising. With only a few sessions left in 2025, money managers are also rebalancing portfolios and harvesting gains, a dynamic that can amplify swings in stocks with

Meta snaps up Manus AI agent startup as it races to sell “digital employees”

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:43 ET Meta Platforms said on Monday it would acquire Manus, a Chinese artificial intelligence startup whose software can operate as a “digital employee” for tasks such as research and automation. https://www.reuters.com/world/china/meta-acquire-chinese-startup-manus-boost-advanced-ai-features-2025-12-29/ The deal lands as Big Tech pushes “AI agents” — programs that can carry out multi-step work with limited direction — from demonstrations into tools that people and companies will pay to use.

BitMine Immersion (BMNR) stock edges up after-hours after $13.2B crypto stash update — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 18:44 ET — After-hours BitMine Immersion Technologies, Inc. shares were up 0.8% in late after-hours trading on Monday at $28.54, after trading between $27.80 and $29.60 during the session. The move matters because BitMine has become a crypto-treasury stock, meaning investors often trade it as a proxy for the cryptocurrency it holds on its balance sheet. That can amplify swings when token prices move or when the company signals new buying plans. Crypto prices softened into year-end trading, a backdrop that can pull crypto-linked equities with it. Ether was down about 0.6% and bitcoin was
