Lam Research near $180 as year-end positioning puts chip-tool stocks back in play

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 23:12 ET — Market closed Lam Research Corp shares last closed up 0.4% at $178.07 on Friday, eking out gains in a quiet post-holiday session as semiconductor equipment names held firm into year-end. Reuters The move matters now because U.S. markets are heading into the final three trading days of 2025 with light volumes and portfolio adjustments that can amplify swings in widely owned momentum stocks. Reuters+1 Macro catalysts are also looming, with minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Dec. 9-10 meeting due Tuesday and traders watching the seasonal “Santa Claus rally” window that runs through

Rigetti stock drops nearly 9% as quantum names cool into year-end

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 21:47 ET — Market closed Rigetti Computing shares slid 8.6% to $22.38 in Friday’s regular session, retreating as quantum-computing stocks pulled back into the final week of the year. The move matters now because year-end trading tends to magnify swings in high-volatility stocks, while investors reassess crowded themes ahead of 2026. Reuters described Friday’s broader tape as light-volume and catalyst-thin, a backdrop that can sharpen moves in speculative corners of the market. Reuters Other “pure-play” quantum names fell in tandem. IonQ dropped about 7.6%, D-Wave Quantum slid about 8.1% and Quantum Computing Inc fell about

Intel’s 107,000-sq-ft Santa Clara buildout: what city documents show

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 20:59 ET Intel is seeking Santa Clara approval to build two new structures totaling 107,171 square feet at its Bowers campus, according to city project documents. The proposal lands as Intel leans into manufacturing investment and a broader turnaround under Chief Executive Lip-Bu Tan, while competing for advanced production against rivals such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co and Samsung Electronics. It also underscores the infrastructure demands of chipmaking in Silicon Valley, where large industrial projects can hinge on power and cooling capacity. The plans include a dedicated central utility building to support the manufacturing equipment.

Intel stock holds near $36 as investors weigh foundry signals into year-end

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 20:28 ET — Market closed Intel shares ended Friday up 0.1% at $36.20 and were last indicated at $36.19 as U.S. markets head into the final sessions of the year. Investing.com That matters for Intel because the stock has become a live referendum on its effort to claw back manufacturing leadership and sell chipmaking capacity to outside customers through its foundry business — a shift that requires heavy investment and patience. Reuters A Reuters report this week that Nvidia stopped moving forward with tests of Intel’s “18A” manufacturing process kept scrutiny on whether Intel can

Silver breaks $80 as Musk warns manufacturers face fallout from soaring metal prices

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 19:12 ET Silver rose to a record above $80 an ounce in an end-of-year rally, Bloomberg reported, extending a surge that is rippling through supply chains that depend on the metal. Bloomberg.com Tesla CEO Elon Musk warned manufacturers could suffer from the spike. “This is not good. Silver is needed in many industrial processes,” Musk posted on X. The Guardian The move matters now because silver is widely used in electrification, solar power panels, electric vehicles and data centers, industries where demand has been rising and inventories have been tightening, the Guardian reported.

A massive asteroid will skim past Earth in 2029 — and a Swiss-built camera is gearing up to watch it

A massive asteroid will skim past Earth in 2029 — and a Swiss-built camera is gearing up to watch it

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 18:41 ET Scientists are sharpening plans to study asteroid Apophis ahead of its unusually close — but safe — flyby of Earth in April 2029, with a Swiss-built camera selected for Europe’s planned Ramses mission. European Space Agency+1 The encounter matters because Apophis is expected to pass within about 32,000 km (20,000 miles) of Earth’s surface, closer than many satellites in geostationary orbit — and close enough for Earth’s gravity to alter the asteroid’s physical state. European Space Agency+2Media Relations+2 Media coverage on Sunday, including in India and the United States, highlighted the flyby and

Oracle stock holds near $200 as year-end Fed minutes loom and AI spending worries linger

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 18:53 ET — Market closed Oracle (ORCL.N) shares last closed up 0.25% at $197.99 on Friday, hovering just below the $200 level in a light, post-holiday session. The stock last traded at $196.90 in after-hours dealing. StockAnalysis With just three trading days left in 2025, Oracle has become a key test of investor appetite for big-ticket AI infrastructure bets. The company’s plans to expand cloud data center capacity have kept traders focused on funding needs and payoffs, not just topline growth.

Amazon stock braces for Monday after Amazon scraps Italy drone deliveries

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 18:43 ET — Market closed Amazon.com (AMZN.O) shares will be in focus when U.S. trading resumes on Monday after the company halted plans for commercial drone deliveries in Italy, citing regulatory hurdles. The stock last closed up $0.15, or 0.1%, at $232.52 on Friday. Reuters The decision puts a spotlight on the practical barriers to scaling new delivery technology overseas, even for the world’s largest online retailer. It is also a reminder that regulatory risk can intrude on experimental logistics projects that investors view as longer-term cost and service levers. Reuters The update arrived as

Meta stock ends lower as New York warning-label law and teen-user leak renew scrutiny

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 18:31 ET — Market closed Meta Platforms shares slipped in light post-Christmas trading on Friday, with investors weighing fresh scrutiny over teen engagement and “addictive” social-media features. The Washington Post+1 The issue matters for Meta because youth safety is shifting from reputational risk into rules, enforcement actions and lawsuits that can force product changes. That can affect user time spent on apps and, in turn, advertising inventory — still Meta’s core business. Reuters+1 It also arrives in a holiday-thinned market, when small shifts in sentiment can move large-cap tech shares more than usual. AP News

Broadcom stock holds above $350 into year-end as traders refocus on AI margins

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 18:20 ET — Market closed. Broadcom Inc. shares ended Friday’s session up 0.6% at $352.13, in subdued post-Christmas trading before U.S. markets shut for the weekend. Yahoo Finance The muted move matters because Broadcom has become a bellwether for the market’s “AI infrastructure” trade — a bet that heavy spending on data centers will keep powering chip and networking demand into 2026.

Tesla stock slips as robotaxi scrutiny and Fed minutes set up the year-end test

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 18:14 ET — Market closed Tesla shares closed down 2.1% on Friday at $475.19, heading into the final stretch of the year with U.S. stock markets shut on Sunday. The stock’s dip came in a light-volume, post-Christmas session that left Wall Street’s main indexes little changed, while consumer discretionary — the sector that houses Tesla — lagged. Reuters That matters now because thin year-end liquidity can amplify moves, and Tesla sits at the center of investor debate over how much value to assign to autonomous driving.
