Micron (MU) Stock Jumps to Fresh High After Record FY2026 Q1 Results and a Blockbuster AI Memory Forecast — What Investors Are Watching on Dec. 19, 2025

Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) is extending a powerful rally on Friday, December 19, 2025, after a record fiscal first-quarter report and an outlook that shocked Wall Street with just how tight the memory market has become in the AI era. Shares traded around $267 in mid-day action, up about 7% on the session, after touching an intraday high of $268.08.

NVIDIA Stock (NVDA) Jumps on China Export Review News as Wall Street Raises 2026 Targets

Dec. 19, 2025 — NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) is back at the center of the AI trade on Friday after a major policy headline revived the market’s biggest “what if” question around the chipmaker: how much incremental upside could reopen China demand create—without reigniting regulatory blowback? Nvidia shares were trading higher on the day, near $179, after reports that the U.S. government has begun an inter-agency review that could allow exports of Nvidia’s H200 AI chips to China under a framework that would include a 25% government fee on sales.

Broadcom Inc.

Larry Page has spent most of the past decade doing what he appears to prefer: staying out of the spotlight while the company he co-founded—Google, now the core of Alphabet—reshapes how billions of people find information, buy products, and build software. But on December 18, 2025, Page is back in the headlines anyway, pulled forward by three forces that don’t require a public appearance: a renewed surge in Alphabet’s market value, a tightening ring of global regulation around Google’s platform power, and an unusually local flashpoint—Palo Alto’s growing backlash against billionaire “compounds,” where Page is singled out alongside other tech titans.
