Many firms bought bitcoin to diversify cash reserves, hedge against inflation, or attract investors-even non-crypto companies such as Strategy.

When bitcoin tumbled, share prices for exposed firms weakened and lenders pressed for liquidity, triggering distress. Strategy, the largest corporate holder with about 671,000 coins, saw its stock halve and created a $1.44 billion reserve to fund payments; Sequans sold 970 bitcoins to trim convertible debt.

Since 1926, markets finish higher roughly 70% of years, and a non-occurence often coincides with weaker starts in subsequent months. But a Santa Claus rally is no guarantee: examples like 2022 show that a late-year rally can precede sharp declines. For 2026, the story is mixed. Valuation sits near 30x trailing earnings, well above long-run averages, despite some normalization in tech-led markets. A potentially supportive AI-driven earnings path exists, but 2026 is a midterm-election year, typically challenging for markets, and policy/narrative around Fed leadership could add volatility.

Senator David McCormick's Bitcoin ETF Trades Spark Scrutiny Over Timing and Conflicts

December 27, 2025, 11:55 PM EST. Newly filed financial disclosures show U.S. Senator David McCormick reporting sizable Bitcoin ETF investments, including multiple purchases of the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) totaling up to $200,000. Trades occurred in a tight window in late November 2025 and were only disclosed on December 26, prompting questions about timing and potential conflicts given McCormick's role on the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and the Subcommittee on Digital Assets. While one trade posted a small gain and another a modest loss, the situation underscores how cryptocurrency regulation signals can influence policymaker investments. The filings also show large municipal-bond purchases in mid-December, but no legal violation is evident; such activity is allowed under current law.

Senator McCormick's Bitcoin ETF trades draw scrutiny after late-November disclosures

December 27, 2025, 11:54 PM EST. New disclosure shows Senator David McCormick made sizable bets on crypto and bonds, including up to $200,000 in the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) with trades on Nov. 24-28, disclosed Dec. 26. The timing-near a narrow window-stirs questions about conflicts of interest for a lawmaker on the Senate Banking Committee and its Subcommittee on Digital Assets, which shape crypto regulation. Bitcoin ETFs are highly responsive to regulatory signals, amplifying scrutiny of policymakers' crypto exposure. The filing also revealed large municipal-bond purchases in December, such as up to $500,000 in Pennsylvania and nearby issues. While no legal violation is evidenced, the episode underscores how disclosure timing and asset mix can become political headlines as crypto policy evolves.

Lloyds Metals and Energy Limited (NSE:LLOYDSME) – Private Groups Hold Majority Stake as Market Cap Surges

December 27, 2025, 11:53 PM EST. Lloyds Metals and Energy Limited (NSE:LLOYDSME) shows concentrated ownership by private companies, which hold the lion's share-about 59% of shares, with the top 3 shareholders controlling roughly 55%. This pattern implies potential influence over governance decisions and strategic direction. The largest confirmed holders include Thriveni Earthmovers Private Limited (31%), Crosslink Food And Farms Private Limited (12%), and Sunflag Iron and Steel Company Limited (11%). The stock's momentum coincided with a surge in the market cap to around ₹722b after a 5.3% gain. Investors should also consider institutional ownership levels, earnings growth, and analyst sentiment when assessing future performance.

Lloyds Metals and Energy: Private Companies Dominate Ownership as Market Cap Surges ₹722b

December 27, 2025, 11:52 PM EST. Private companies own a dominant stake in Lloyds Metals and Energy Limited, with the top three holders commanding a majority of shares and outsized influence over governance. Thriveni Earthmovers Private Limited leads at about 31%, followed by Crosslink Food and Farms Private Limited (12%) and Sunflag Iron and Steel Company Limited (11%), together comprising the majority stake. As the stock rose about 5.3% to push the company's market cap to ₹722b, the private shareholders stood to gain or lose most from price moves. Institutional ownership remains limited, while hedge funds show little activity. Investors may also weigh analyst forecasts alongside ownership data to gauge future performance.

Would You Buy the SpaceX IPO? Navigating a 2026 Doorstep at a $1.5T Valuation

December 27, 2025, 11:51 PM EST. SpaceX is reportedly targeting a 2026 IPO at a $1.5 trillion valuation, potentially the largest in history, per Bloomberg and Reuters. In Motley Fool Money, hosts Rick Pinares, Karl Teal, and Tim Beyers discuss what SpaceX is really worth, noting that about 70% of revenue comes from Starlink, the satellite-internet business, with the rest from rockets and launches. They debate whether SpaceX fits as a Rule Breaker and how to price the stock given its growth drivers, regulatory risks, and venture-scale economics. They also tackle whether to buy the IPO now or wait, and what questions investors should ask before committing capital. The full transcript and more episodes await in Fool's podcast center.

SpaceX IPO Could Reshape Markets with a $1.5T Debut

December 27, 2025, 11:50 PM EST. SpaceX is targeting a 2026 IPO at a potential $1.5 trillion valuation, which would be the largest debut in history. About 70% of revenue comes from Starlink, the satellite-internet network that is scaling worldwide. The panel weighs SpaceX's status as a Rule Breaker against aerospace risk, Musk's leadership, and the regulatory backdrop. They debate whether the IPO should be bought now or only after more clarity on profitability, capital needs, and competitive threats. If SpaceX can sustain Starlink growth while monetizing launches and other services, the stock could reshape the space economy and tech equities. Bottom line: the investment call hinges on valuation discipline, execution risk, and how investors price growth vs. risk in a first-of-its-kind issue.

How Company Bets on Bitcoin Can Backfire as Prices Sink

December 27, 2025, 11:33 PM EST. Bitcoin's surge and slide have exposed corporate bets on the cryptocurrency. Many firms bought bitcoin to diversify cash reserves, hedge against inflation, or attract investors-even non-crypto companies such as Strategy. Some funded purchases with convertible bonds, which can force repayment in cash or shares if prices fall and the stock dips. When bitcoin tumbled, share prices for exposed firms weakened and lenders pressed for liquidity, triggering distress. Strategy, the largest corporate holder with about 671,000 coins, saw its stock halve and created a $1.44 billion reserve to fund payments; Sequans sold 970 bitcoins to trim convertible debt. Analysts warn of contagion risk, but impacts may remain largely within the crypto sector unless prices keep sliding.

D-Wave Quantum: Assessing 10x Upside in a Quantum-Annealing Play

December 27, 2025, 11:03 PM EST. D-Wave Quantum is a small, high-risk, potentially asymmetric bet in a rapidly maturing quantum arena. Its production workloads using the Advantage2 platform have translated into nearly $3.7 million revenue and a gross margin above 70%, with over 100 revenue-generating customers and a key 10 million-euro contract with Swiss Quantum Technology. The company holds about $836 million in cash, supporting near-term commercialization and future gate-model development. However, a true 10-bagger hinges on a scalable fault-tolerant quantum computer, which remains uncertain; the stock trades at around 423x sales. Even under aggressive 2030 revenue scenarios and a 30x multiple, upside may be limited. Still, D-Wave could serve as a niche, diversified satellite position for risk-tolerant portfolios.

Oklo Inc. (OKLO) Slides Friday as Options Flow and Analyst Targets Signal Monday Moves

December 27, 2025, 10:35 PM EST. Oklo Inc. (OKLO) finished Friday lower after a choppy session, signaling ongoing volatility for the week as investors weigh options flow, insider and institutional activity, and evolving analyst targets ahead of Monday's open. The stock closed at $76.92, down about 5.4% after trading from a session high near $81, with roughly 7.1 million shares traded. On a weekly basis OKLO was down roughly 8%. Market observers highlighted lighter year-end volume, a shift in risk appetite, and a broader focus on nuclear and SMR/advanced-reactor names. The options market showed a skew toward puts, while activity ranged in a wide window around $65-$130, suggesting traders are pricing significant upside and downside risk. Notably, Spirit of America Management increased its stake, and data trackers flagged intensified insider and institutional activity as potential signals for Monday.

Oklo Inc. Stock Slumps into Weekend as Options Flow and Institutional Activity Set Up Monday

December 27, 2025, 10:34 PM EST. Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO) wrapped Friday lower as volatility persists in nuclear and AI-powered names. The stock closed at $76.92, down -5.41%, after trading as high as $81.14 on above-average intraday swings and about 7.12 million shares. Weeklies show a roughly 8% drop, underscoring momentum shifts without a new press release. Key drivers include options flow, institutional filings, and insider activity ahead of Monday's session: a stake boost by Spirit of America Management Corp and broader participation by institutions were noted by MarketBeat and Quiver Quantitative. Traders see wide options windows-roughly $65-$130-with more puts than calls recently. As positioning data accumulate, analyst targets and policy-linked risk remain on investors' radar for the next trading week.

Record IPO boom in India: 701 companies raise ₹3.8 trillion in two years as young firms lead listings

December 27, 2025, 10:33 PM EST. India's IPO market surged again in 2025, with 365 issues raising ₹1.95 trillion, part of a two-year spree where 701 firms mobilised ₹3.8 trillion. A diverse mix-from tech startups to renewables and fintech-drove a record tally, surpassing prior highs. Mainboard IPOs accounted for 94% of fundraising, while SME listings rose to 259. Young companies (less than 20 years) contributed about 53% of the ₹3.8 trillion, underscoring the rising role of newer issuers in India's growth story. Strong retail participation and overseas demand supported valuations in the secondary market and robust IPO appetite. Market watchers expect momentum to persist, buoyed by continued issuer diversification and healthy primary market dynamics.

Record IPO Boom: 701 Issues Raise ₹3.8 Trillion; Young Firms Lead India's Listings

December 27, 2025, 10:32 PM EST. India's IPO market logged a blockbuster two-year run, with 701 listings raising ₹3.8 trillion between CY24 and CY25. In CY25 alone, 365 IPOs mobilised ₹1.95 trillion, topping the prior record. Mainboard IPOs accounted for 94% of total fundraising, while SME issues surged, reflecting strong demand from retail investors and overseas investors amid rich valuations in the secondary market. Notably, young companies-under 20 years-generated about 53% of the proceeds (≈₹2 trillion) across 508 listings, signaling a shift toward younger issuers. Diversification has broadened sector exposure and sustained primary market activity. If this momentum continues, India's growth story could gain even greater access to capital through a vibrant primary market pipeline.

Three AI Stocks to Buy with $2,000 and Hold for a Decade, Led by Alphabet

December 27, 2025, 10:18 PM EST. Investors with $2,000 can pursue a long-term bet on AI by buying three stocks and holding for a decade. The piece argues that AI is poised for durable growth as institutions pour capital into AI research and infrastructure, creating a favorable environment for firms with strong moats and solid finances. Alphabet is highlighted for its full-stack AI ecosystem, including TPUs (AI chips), the Gemini models, and Google Cloud, plus a vast data advantage from Search and YouTube. While not every AI stock will win, investing in high-quality names like Alphabet can harness the AI revolution over the coming years.

Eris Lifesciences (NSE:ERIS) Up 165% in 5 Years; EPS Growth Lags Price Momentum

December 27, 2025, 10:16 PM EST. Over the last five years, Eris Lifesciences (NSE:ERIS) has posted a total shareholder return (TSR) of about 165%, with dividends boosting the figure. The share price is up around 159% in the period, while EPS growth ran at about 5.6% per year. By comparison, the price-led growth of roughly 21% per year suggests rising investor sentiment and a valuation premium, with a P/E ratio near 50.08. The company has improved its bottom line, but analysts' outlook on revenue growth remains a factor. The TSR over the last twelve months was about 14% (including dividends), highlighting a strong, but nuanced, five-year return profile for ERIS.

Tech Stocks Today: Nvidia's Groq Licensing Deal, Nasdaq Year-End Test, and What Investors Need Before Monday's Open

December 27, 2025, 9:45 PM EST. U.S. tech stocks head into the final stretch of 2025 near record territory, with AI headlines and regulatory chatter likely to shape sentiment when trading resumes Monday. Friday's session closed with only modest moves and ultralow liquidity, as trading volume ran well below the 20-day average-roughly 10.22 billion shares. Even so, the tech trade remains leadership with the Nasdaq and broader indices in focus after a year dominated by AI infrastructure, cloud software and digital ads. Rotation away from mega-caps toward more moderately valued names has become a talking point as year-end seasonality eyes the Santa Claus rally. Nvidia's Groq licensing deal is among the catalysts investors will watch ahead of Monday's open, alongside week-ahead data and regulatory headlines.

AST SpaceMobile Outshines Redwire: A Sharper Moonshot Play in Space Stocks

December 27, 2025, 9:44 PM EST. Redwire has lagged due to earnings misses, dilution, and contract delays, with a partial rebound from a new docking-system agreement with The Exploration Company. Yet investors remain skeptical about a durable turnaround without clearer profitability. By contrast, AST SpaceMobile has powered higher on a long-term satellite-based broadband story, rising more than fourfold YTD despite a soft quarterly report. The sector's winners may hinge on growth visibility and margin recovery in 2026. For readers, the takeaway is: avoid Redwire's volatility and focus on stocks with credible scale in space-enabled communications, where the near-term catalysts could come from increasing commercial deployments and broader coverage. Commercial activity continues to accelerate, supporting the bull case for AST SpaceMobile.

Vedanta Hits 52-Week High as NCLT Clears Demerger; ₹81,743 Crore Capex Fuels Energy-Transition Metals Focus

December 27, 2025, 9:29 PM EST. Vedanta Ltd ends 2025 with momentum after the NCLT cleared its demerger, paving a path to five listed entities and a cleaner, sector-focused structure. Vedanta Aluminium, Vedanta Oil & Gas, Vedanta Iron & Steel, Vedanta Power, and Vedanta Limited are set to become the primary vehicles, with shareholders receiving equity in the new companies while retaining holdings in Vedanta Limited. The stock climbed to a fresh 52-week high near ₹607 in intraday trade, lifting 2025 gains to about 35% as the rally extends to 13 sessions. The move aligns with a hefty capex plan of roughly ₹81,743 crore designed to support India's infrastructure build-out and the energy-transition metals cycle, potentially unlocking more transparent valuation for each business.

S&P 500 vs Nifty 50: Why ₹1 Lakh in a US Index Looks More Profitable for Indian Investors Despite Lower 10-Year US Returns

December 27, 2025, 9:28 PM EST. As a backdrop, the rupee has weakened for over a decade, roughly 3% a year, with 2025 around ₹89-₹91 per USD. A Vested Finance analysis shows that although Indian equities delivered strong local gains, ₹1 lakh invested in the S&P 500 in 2015 would translate into a higher rupee value than the same amount in the Nifty 50, thanks to currency depreciation. By history, the Nifty rose about 232%; the S&P 500 about 230% in dollars, but rupee conversion yields approx ₹4.36 lakh vs ₹3.32 lakh, a rupee advantage of ~₹1.06-1.13 lakh depending on FX level. The takeaway: pursue structural diversification-keep Indian equities as the growth engine and use global equities as a hedge against currency erosion and macro shocks.

Rocket Lab Stock (RKLB) Pulls Back After Breakout Week: What Friday's Selloff Means

December 27, 2025, 9:12 PM EST. Friday's session left RKLB down about 8.5% after a breakout week, as markets paused and volume thinned. The pullback appears to be a classic digesting gains move rather than a fresh negative catalyst. Traders cited light liquidity, with day volume well below average amid a holiday tape, amplifying moves in high-beta space names. The core driver remains the SDA contract win: an $816 million award to design and manufacture 18 satellites for TRKT3, featuring the Phoenix infrared sensor payload and StarLite protection sensors. Investors also consider potential upside from related subsystems, potentially lifting total capture value toward $1 billion. In context, RKLB has traded as a high-beta space infrastructure name, prone to pullbacks after sharp rallies.

Netflix Stock Weekend Update: Warner Bros. Financing, Ad-Tier Momentum, and Targets Ahead

December 27, 2025, 8:37 PM EST. Netflix's week begins with focus on the Warner Bros. Discovery deal and how financing and timeline risks could pressure its valuation. Netflix's refinance of part of a roughly $59 billion bridge loan, adding a $5 billion revolver and two $10 billion delayed-draw loans, with roughly $34 billion remaining to be syndicated. The deal's closure is now expected after Warner's Global Networks split in Q3 2026, creating an overhang as investors weigh leverage against potential IP expansion. In the near term, the ad-supported tier debate intensifies after a UK milestone where streaming subscribers on ad-supported plans surpassed ad-free, per Ampere Analysis. If the trend solidifies, Netflix could benefit from a broader addressable audience even as it navigates financing and regulatory hurdles ahead of Monday's open.

NSE Allowed to Intervene in Case Against Madhabi Buch and Other SEBI Officials

December 27, 2025, 8:22 PM EST. A special court under the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has allowed the NSE to participate in proceedings against former SEBI chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch and others, saying the exchange must present the true and correct facts. The case stems from a complaint by Sapan Shrivastava alleging stock-market fraud and regulatory violations tied to a 1994 listing, naming Buch, other SEBI officials, NSE functionaries and government figures. The court granted NSE's intervention to place relevant facts on record and contest the complainant's contentions, deeming it essential for the ends of justice under CrPC Section 302 and related provisions in the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.

Tariffs to push home goods prices higher in 2026, Wells Fargo warns

December 27, 2025, 7:52 PM EST. Wells Fargo warns that home goods prices could rise in early 2026 as tariffs push up import costs. Retailers have mostly held or modestly raised prices this holiday season, while pursuing targeted promotions, per Lauren Murphy of Wells Fargo Retail Finance. Many retailers front-loaded inventory purchases in early 2025 to hedge against tariff shocks. The share of inventory in transit from overseas is expected to rise, boosting costs for retailers that rely on imports. As price pressures mount in home goods, price hikes could come faster than in apparel, where a lower base helps cushion some impact. Shoppers are advised to consider major purchases now to lock in savings before tariffs lift prices further.

Parkson Retail Asia: Temporary Stock Weakness vs. Strong Fundamentals (SGX:O9E)

December 27, 2025, 7:51 PM EST.Parkson Retail Asia (SGX:O9E) has fallen about 22% in three months, but its fundamentals suggest a potential rebound. A standout ROE of 80% (TTM to Sep 2025) signals highly efficient use of equity, versus an industry average of 7.4%. Five-year net income growth of about 47% aligns with earnings growth, and is strong relative to the industry's 6.6% pace. The stock's lack of regular dividends implies profits are reinvested for growth rather than distributed to shareholders, i.e., active reinvestment. Investors should assess whether earnings growth and high ROE are already priced into the P/E relative to peers. If earnings momentum continues, the recent weakness could prove temporary, though valuation will hinge on sustained profitability and reinvestment returns.

4 Stocks to Hold for the Next 5 Years

December 27, 2025, 7:35 PM EST. Investing for the long term requires a disciplined, resilient mindset to navigate volatility. The article argues that market prices reflect short-term emotions while a company's true value rests in its long-term earning power and assets. By focusing on the big picture, investors can view price dips as buying opportunities rather than panics. The piece highlights four stocks to buy and hold for at least five years, starting with MercadoLibre and Microsoft. MercadoLibre dominates Latin American e-commerce and fintech via Mercado Pago, Mercado Envíos, and a payments ecosystem serving a large unbanked population, with strong profitability and growth. Microsoft is monetizing generative AI across its stack, fueling Azure revenue growth and broad enterprise adoption.

2 No-Brainer Dividend Stocks to Buy Right Now: Coca-Cola and PepsiCo

December 27, 2025, 7:20 PM EST. Two big trends are reshaping consumer staples: rising costs squeezing spending, and a shift toward healthier choices. That backdrop pressures food-focused names but creates a contrarian opportunity for long-term investors. Coca-Cola (KO) and PepsiCo (PEP) are highlighted as Dividend Kings that have raised dividends for 50+ years. Coke trades as a reasonably valued play with solid Q3 momentum: organic sales up around 6%, vs. PepsiCo's 1.3% in Q3. While Coke's valuation sits near its five-year average, its 2.9% dividend yield remains appealing to conservative buyers. PepsiCo, a broader mix of beverages, snacks, and foods, offers diversification and resilient cash flow. The takeaway: both names look attractively priced for patient holders willing to ride out sector volatility.

2 Red-Hot Growth Stocks to Buy in 2026: Figma and CoreWeave

December 27, 2025, 7:04 PM EST. Two growth stocks to watch in 2026: Figma and CoreWeave. The thesis: developers may migrate from Adobe to Figma's cloud-based UI/UX tools, fueling revenue growth-ARR above $10k for 10k+ customers and 2024 revenue up ~48%. Analysts expect Figma to grow revenue at ~27% CAGR to about $1.53B by 2026, narrowing losses as AI features and international expansion gain traction. CoreWeave shifted from crypto mining to AI workloads, operating 33 data centers with Nvidia GPUs to serve enterprise AI and ML tasks. Both names appear reasonably valued relative to long-term growth and stand to benefit from persistent AI demand. For investors able to hold for several years, these two offer attractive secular tailwinds.

Auric Mining (ASX: AWJ) Stock Rally: Does ROE Explain Its Fundamentals?

December 27, 2025, 6:35 PM EST. Auric Mining (ASX: AWJ) has surged about 19% over the last three months, prompting a closer look at whether fundamentals back the move. The piece centers on the company's ROE (8.6% trailing twelve months to June 2025) and compares it with the industry average of 9.2%, noting that profits rose 60% over five years. While the ROE isn't standout, the improving earnings trajectory has outpaced the broader industry's 12% growth, suggesting other drivers-such as strategic execution or a modest payout ratio-may be supporting growth. The analysis also weighs whether Auric Mining is fairly valued using standard metrics, asking if the expected earnings growth is already embedded in the stock price and what that implies for future performance. Investors should consider both valuation measures and future earnings potential.

AMD Stock Poised for a 60% Jump in 2026 as Trump Eases Chinese AI-Chip Sales

December 27, 2025, 6:34 PM EST. AMD surged in 2025, up about 78%, but a pullback near a 52-week high creates a potential entry point. The piece highlights a potential reopening of a key revenue stream after export controls restricted sales of advanced AI data-center chips to China, potentially boosting AMD's 2026 earnings if the market reopens. Analysts expect 2025 earnings around $3.97 per share, with expectations of roughly $6.46 in 2026, though upside could exceed estimates thanks to stronger AI demand. The Trump administration's move to allow sales of high-end chips to China, mirroring Nvidia's recent changes with the H200, could lift AMD's sales in 2026. If AMD can re-enter China, demand for advanced AI chips could drive revenue and spark another rally.

ASND:CA Stock Analysis and AI Trading Signals – Ascendant Resources (Dec 27, 2025)

December 27, 2025, 6:33 PM EST. December 27, 2025 update on Ascendant Resources Inc. (ASND:CA) shows a long-term plan to buy near 0.06 with a stop loss @ 0.06; there are No Short plans offered at this time. The piece flags AI Generated Signals for ASND:CA, and provides ratings across terms: Near – Strong, Mid – Strong, Long – Neutral. A chart is included. Investors should monitor whether AI signals and price near the 0.06 level justify risk, and stay alert for any changes to the ratings or trading plans.

ABB Stock Slump Despite Solid Fundamentals: Aussie Broadband's 6% ROE and 60% Earnings Growth

December 27, 2025, 6:17 PM EST. Aussie Broadband (ASX:ABB) has fallen about 12% over three months, but its fundamentals remain solid. The stock's ROE is around 6.0% on AU$33m of net income and AU$545m in equity (ttm to June 2025), modest yet higher than the industry average of 3.8%. The company has posted about 60% net income growth across the last five years, suggesting earnings expansion despite a lean ROE. Faster industry growth and a favorable payout/reinvestment mix may be driving the earnings-upside. Investors should consider whether the market has already priced in this growth, especially against the industry's 10% growth pace. If profitability and cash returns strengthen, ABB could regain momentum even as the share price slides.

ASX Consumer Stocks in 2025: Opportunities and Risks

December 27, 2025, 6:02 PM EST. The ASX 200 has shown notable volatility in 2025, but the consumer discretionary space remains a key engine for growth and portfolio balance. Diversification is essential as market turbulence highlights cyclicality: discretionary stocks are highly sensitive to RBA policy and wage data, yet offer upside when sentiment improves. A structural shift is underway: disposable income is flowing from goods to experiences and digital engagement-subscriptions, travel, and online entertainment-while traditional upgrades may pause. The sector is bifurcated, favoring quality management and solid balance sheets in a high-cost environment. Major stock to watch: Wesfarmers (ASX: WES) with defensive exposure through Bunnings and Kmart, among others in travel, media, and gambling.

Buy and Hold: 5 AI Stocks to Own Through 2035

December 27, 2025, 6:01 PM EST. Investors can capture the AI boom by holding a handful of proven winners through 2035. The AI market is projected to grow from about $270B today to over $5.2T next decade, fueled by chip and data-center investments powering AI workloads. The piece highlights five leaders, including Nvidia – dominant in AI accelerators with a large GPU moat and a hefty backlog – and Alphabet – with its expansive AI ecosystem, TPU chips, and potential Gemini deployments. It also notes Microsoft as a core player through cloud and software tools. While private or lesser-known names may emerge, sticking with these high-conviction rulers offers a clearer path to ride the decade of AI-driven growth.

Warner Bros. Discovery Stock Weekend Update: Netflix Deal vs Paramount Skydance Tender Heats Up

December 27, 2025, 5:49 PM EST. Markets head into a quiet weekend as WBD sits around the mid- to high-$20s, with investors weighing a signed Netflix deal that would spin off Discovery Global while the rival Paramount Skydance all-cash tender remains live at $30 per share. Netflix would acquire WBD's film/TV studios and HBO/HBO Max for $27.75 in cash-and-stock, plus an anticipated separation of Discovery Global in 2026, giving shareholders upside beyond cash. WBD's board frames Netflix's package as more certain, with $23.25 cash + $4.50 in Netflix stock (collar) plus the separation value. In contrast, Paramount Skydance bids $30 all-cash, aided by a Larry Ellison personal guarantee and a longer tender window to Jan 21, 2026. With WBD around $28.80 Friday and light holiday volume, traders will watch the early-week headlines for deal momentum.

2 Dividend Stocks to Double Up On Right Now: Costco Spotlight

December 27, 2025, 5:48 PM EST. Looking for dividend ideas? This piece spotlights Costco Wholesale (COST) as one of two names to consider. Costco has increased its regular quarterly dividend for more than two decades and backs payouts with a high-margin, cash-generating membership model. The current annual regular dividend is $5.20 per share, with the last quarterly payment of $1.30 in November 2025. The company also pays sizable one-off special dividends, such as $15 in December 2023 and $10 in December 2020. With a low payout ratio of about 27%, Costco retains earnings for growth while delivering strong cash flow. That mix has helped deliver roughly a 150% total return over the past five years, even as the regular yield sits around 0.6%.

APA Group (ASX:APA) pays A$0.275 dividend; warns on sustainability despite 6.1% yield

December 27, 2025, 5:47 PM EST. APA Group (ASX:APA) has announced a dividend of A$0.275 per share, payable on 18 March, delivering a headline yield of about 6.1% which sits above the sector average. While the payout is attractive, recent commentary notes that the dividend previously exceeded earnings, risking balance sheet strain if the pattern continues. Look ahead, analysts expect EPS to rebound over the next year, but the implied payout ratio could surge toward 221% if dividends persist at current levels. The stock has a long history of stable payments, but five-year EPS declines raise questions about sustainability. Investors should weigh the income against growth and leverage risk, and not rely on the yield alone when evaluating APA as an income stock.

Micron Technology 2026 Outlook: Strong Demand, Higher Prices, and a Big Capex Push

December 27, 2025, 5:46 PM EST. Micron Technology is riding a wave of robust demand for memory chips in 2026. The stock has surged on strong quarterly results, with revenue of $13.6 billion (+57% YoY) and a non-GAAP operating margin of 35%, plus adjusted EPS of $4.78 (+167%). Management guides for a continued upturn, projecting about $18.7 billion in revenue and $8.42 in non-GAAP EPS in the current quarter, signaling durable momentum. A favorable AI/data-center memory cycle, coupled with a memory shortage and higher prices (including server memory), underpins the thesis. Micron is also boosting capex to about $20 billion in fiscal 2026 to expand capacity and meet rising demand, potentially extending the rally through the year.

Why it's time for the UK's fintech stars to list in London

December 27, 2025, 5:17 PM EST. This piece argues 2026 could be the year UK challenger banks list on the London Stock Exchange, defending a London-first fintech narrative over the US. It notes LSE's 2025 IPO share and the outflows from UK stocks, contrasting US capital markets with strong M&A and retail-driven demand. Highlights why fintechs should consider London: the UK's banking, IPO revival potential, and market familiarity; five drivers: bank stocks love in London, supportive macro tailwinds, government backing, solid business models, and talented management teams. It also warns about US listings' mixed aftermarket performance for fintechs and mid-size UK peers. The aim is to attract listings that attract passive money and benefit from a domestic, growth-oriented fintech community in London.

Zimplats Holdings (ASX:ZIM): Surging Share Price Fails to Hide Weak ROE

December 27, 2025, 5:16 PM EST. Zimplats Holdings' stock has jumped about 41% in the last month, but the fundamentals look uncertain. The trailing twelve months to June 2025 show a ROE of just 2.2% on US$1.8b of shareholders' equity, well below the industry average of 9.2%. Meanwhile, net income has fallen about 42% over the last five years, signaling earnings growth challenges even as the sector reports positive industry growth. The stock lacks a regular dividend, limiting income-based valuation support, and questions remain about capital allocation and payout levels. With earnings growth a key driver of valuation, investors should weigh whether current momentum is pricing in possible earnings declines or if a later earnings rebound could support higher multiples. In short, strong momentum may be offset by uncertain growth prospects and valuation risk.

Zepto files for IPO as India's quick-commerce race heats up

December 27, 2025, 5:00 PM EST. Indian quick-commerce startup Zepto has confidentially filed for an IPO, underscoring strong investor interest as the 10-minute-delivery race intensifies. Zepto offers 45,000+ products and competes with Blinkit and Instamart, in a market where firms are pouring billions to expand stores. The company was valued at about $7 billion after a $450 million funding round, and the confidential route lets it keep filings private until launch. The move comes as India gears up for a record fundraising year in 2025, highlighting the appeal of high-growth consumer platforms. Zepto aims to deepen urban reach and accelerate growth by expanding its addressable market while competing on speed, assortment, and price in one of the world's fastest-growing e-commerce ecosystems.

Best Stocks to Invest $50,000 in Right Now: A Long-Term, Diversified Play

December 27, 2025, 4:47 PM EST. Investing for the long run means avoiding market-timing traps and focusing on quality, durable bets. With $50,000, diversification across a handful of names can weather highs and lows while compounding wealth. The piece highlights five positions, starting with Amazon: its AWS cloud moat, leading U.S. e-commerce share, and ongoing AI initiatives with Trainium and Inferentia to challenge Nvidia. A recent multi-year OpenAI-AWS deal underscores AWS's AI infrastructure edge and may imply a larger OpenAI investment. The article also flags Alphabet, noting its seamless AI integration and AI-driven growth tailwinds across search, ads, and cloud. Across these names, the message is: stay financially sound with a balanced, forward-looking plan rather than chasing short-term dips.

3 Drug Stocks to Buy at a Discount as the GLP-1 Race Heats Up

December 27, 2025, 4:45 PM EST. In the fast-moving world of pharma, the GLP-1 race between Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly reshapes valuations. Novo Nordisk kicked off the GLP-1 era and just won approval for a GLP-1 pill, fueling a price recovery that still leaves the stock well below its 52-week high. With Lilly gaining ground in GLP-1 efficacy, contrarian investors may look to out-of-favor names such as Bristol Myers Squibb, Merck, and Pfizer. Caution is warranted: Pfizer's dividend yield looks attractive but its payout ratio is elevated, and its GLP-1 program faced setbacks. The coming patent cliffs and pipeline quality will determine who sustains momentum, making these three names potential value plays for patient buyers who believe in a rebound from a discount.

CRH plc Stock Near Record Highs as S&P 500 Inclusion and Buybacks Drive Late-Year Rally

December 27, 2025, 4:44 PM EST. CRH plc (NYSE: CRH) is trading near record highs as 2025 closes, helped by light year-end liquidity, ongoing buybacks, and its S&P 500 inclusion. The stock last traded around $128.94, with intraday moves near $127-$130. Sentiment is buoyed by a leadership in the materials sector and a broad year-end uptick. The S&P 500 addition is likely to trigger rebalancing flows from index funds, potentially tightening supply and lifting demand around the inclusion window. CRH's buyback program remains in play, while investors monitor anticipated bolt-on acquisitions and the company's North American leadership. Watch Monday's liquidity conditions and any further deal activity that could extend the rally.

Applied Materials Stock (AMAT) News & Forecast: AI Demand Keeps Chip Spending Hot

December 27, 2025, 4:29 PM EST. Applied Materials (AMAT) is trading near its 52-week high as AI-driven chip spending keeps demand for wafer-fab equipment in focus. The stock closed around $261.90, up about 61% year-to-date, with investors weighing momentum against a still-rich valuation. Post-holiday trading has been light, and the market eyeing a possible Santa Claus rally. In the last 24-48 hours, headlines have centered on SEC filings and institutional positioning rather than new product news, including stakes from Carnegie Investment Counsel, Farther Finance Advisors, and Baker Chad R. The bull case hinges on AI, memory, and advanced packaging underpinning long-run growth, with management signaling substantial investment in leading-edge logic and DRAM. A sustained AI capex cycle could lift demand into 2026 as AMAT positions for leadership.

2 Red-Hot Growth Stocks to Buy in 2026: Figma and CoreWeave

December 27, 2025, 3:12 PM EST. Two AI-focused growth stocks, Figma and CoreWeave, could head higher as the AI market expands. Despite macro headwinds, investors with a multi-year horizon may embrace high-growth names with secular tailwinds. Figma's cloud-based UI/UX tools widened its ARR and improved its net dollar retention, with revenue rising 48% to $749 million in 2024. Analysts expect about 27% revenue CAGR through 2027, aided by AI-powered features and overseas expansion. CoreWeave shifted from crypto mining to AI workloads, running Nvidia GPUs across 33 data centers to service large AI software firms without on-site infrastructure. At roughly 15x 2026 sales for Figma, the setup signals a long-term opportunity with valuation supported by AI-driven growth, though risks remain.

U.S. Stocks Near 7,000 as Santa Rally Extends Into Final Week of 2025; Fed Minutes in Focus

December 27, 2025, 2:58 PM EST. Stocks hovered near the record-high zone as the S&P 500 neared 7,000, keeping the year-end Santa rally alive heading into the final week of 2025. Friday's session was quiet, with major indices little changed as investors digest post-Christmas action and await the Fed minutes and potential rate-cut guidance. The S&P 500 is about 1% from 7,000 after a solid run that leaves 2025 gains of roughly +17.8%; the Dow up about +14.5%, the Nasdaq around +22.2%, and the Russell 2000 ~+13.6%. With light holiday volume and a cautious tone, traders still see bullish momentum, but note risks around policy surprises and year-end flows.

Two No-Brainer Growth Stocks to Buy Now: Intuitive Surgical Leads

December 27, 2025, 2:57 PM EST. Growth stocks offer exposure to innovative industries, with Intuitive Surgical as a standout: the da Vinci robotics ecosystem creates high-margin recurring revenue, about 85% of total sales, backed by a fortress balance sheet with ~$8.4 billion in cash and low leverage. The company delivers strong cash flow and sustained profitability. Q3 2025 data show double-digit momentum in both procedures (up ~20%) and revenue (up ~23%), supported by a global robotics market expected to grow at a CAGR above 14% through 2030. The rollout of the next-gen da Vinci 5 system, featuring AI, enhanced 3D vision, and force feedback, along with a growing installed base (10,763 systems) and expanding installed base (up 13% YoY), underpin a durable growth trajectory for this leading innovator in robotic surgery. Growth stocks hinge on risk tolerance, but Intuitive Surgical combines strong fundamentals with long-term tailwinds.

AbbVie Stock in 2026: Buy, Sell, or Hold?

December 27, 2025, 2:56 PM EST. AbbVie's 9M2025 results show solid revenue growth and a robust pipeline. The core drivers remain Skyrizi and Rinvoq, with management guiding high-single-digit growth through 2029. The company also expects continued momentum in oncology and contributions from Vraylar and Qulipta. After Humira's patent expiry, sales declined but still contributed meaningfully; the drag is fading, yet the 2027 onset of price negotiations for Vraylar introduces a risk to margins. AbbVie's outlook hinges on continued execution and label expansions, rather than a single product. With strong cash flow, a healthy dividend yield, and no anticipated major patent losses through the decade, the stock looks reasonably valued for the low-growth pharmaceutical space. Verdict: likely a hold into 2026, with potential upside if pipeline milestones land ahead of schedule.

Two Bargain Stocks Down 45% and 37% to Buy Right Now: Lululemon and Zebra Technologies

December 27, 2025, 2:30 PM EST. Buying on the dip can pay off for long-term investors, and the article highlights two stocks that have fallen sharply. Lululemon Athletica (LULU) is down about 45% year over year as North American growth slows, tariffs pressure margins, and a CEO transition unfolds, with Elliott Management taking a meaningful stake and potentially influencing leadership. Yet the international segment is accelerating, with double-digit revenue gains in China and other regions, underscoring its global reach. Zebra Technologies is noted for strength in its software and hardware offerings and a developing AI strategy that could drive future growth. Taken together, the pieces argue for a long-term, fundamentals-driven buy on high-quality assets selling off on temporary concerns.

Two Stocks Down 45% and 37% to Buy Right Now: Lululemon Athletica and Zebra Technologies

December 27, 2025, 2:29 PM EST. Two beaten-down names, Lululemon Athletica (LULU) and Zebra Technologies, are drawing renewed attention as long-term opportunities rather than near-term losers. LULU has fallen about 45% from a year ago amid slowing North American growth, competitive pressure, and a leadership transition, even as its international revenue surges and the company remains profitable. A recent stake by Elliott Management adds an activist dimension to the CEO search. The weakness in the U.S. mirrors broader consumer caution, but international strength could offset it. Zebra Technologies, by contrast, appears to be benefiting from a growing software and hardware footprint and a developing AI strategy. For patient investors, buying on the dip aligns with a thesis that high-quality franchises can rebound over the long run.

Two Stocks Down 45% and 37% to Buy Right Now: Lululemon and Zebra Technologies

December 27, 2025, 2:28 PM EST. Markets have pulled back on high-quality names, but a closer look may reveal value. One stock highlighted is Lululemon Athletica (LULU), down roughly 45% versus a year ago as North American growth cools, margins squeeze from tariffs, and a leadership transition unfolds. An activist stake from Elliott Management adds a potential catalyst as the company searches for a new CEO. Importantly, international demand is accelerating, with strong gains in China and other regions, helping offset domestic softness. The other name on the list is Zebra Technologies, whose software-and-hardware portfolio and emerging AI strategy offer growth potential amid an evolving tech landscape. For patient investors, buying fundamentally solid businesses on sale-especially with improving international trends-can boost long-term returns as the market recovers.

Dogecoin and Shiba Inu drift lower as traders defend resistance zones

December 27, 2025, 1:52 PM EST.DOGE slips toward $0.123 and SHIB sits near $0.00000717 as gains fade in U.S. hours, with BTC and ETH lacking momentum. The move keeps meme tokens tied to technical levels rather than catalysts. DOGE remains in a tightening range with a bearish bias above $0.1220 and resistance near $0.1264; a break below could target $0.1208-$0.1220, while a reclaim of $0.133 would unwind the short-term downtrend. SHIB has broken the $0.00000717-$0.00000718 floor, shifting toward a descending channel and next support near $0.00000707; rebounds face a cap near $0.00000722-$0.00000725 unless volume returns.

EXPE Validea Growth Investor: Martin Zweig Method Yields 62% Score, Mixed Signals

December 27, 2025, 1:50 PM EST. Validea's guru-style Growth Investor model (Martin Zweig) analyzes EXPEDIA GROUP INC (EXPE). The stock earns a 62% rating, indicating moderate interest from the strategy. Key positives: P/E is pass, sales growth and current quarter earnings are pass, and earnings growth rate for the current quarter and insider transactions are positive signals; earnings persistence also passes. Notable weaknesses: EPS growth for the current quarter compared to prior quarters and long-term EPS growth are fails, as is earnings growth relative to historical rate and Total Debt/Equity. The model flags revenue growth in relation to EPS growth and EPS growth for the past several quarters as weaker. Overall, EXPE shows some growth momentum but elevated debt and uneven earnings trajectory temper the score.

Bitcoin Whales Wake Up in 2025, Moving Billions of BTC as ETFs and Treasuries Rise

December 27, 2025, 1:47 PM EST.Bitcoin whales began selling in 2025 after years of HODLing, with a Satoshi-era investor offloading roughly $9 billion in BTC. The moves coincided with renewed price pressure as BTC briefly cooled after surging past $100,000 in December 2024. Analysts call this a great redistribution, shifting coins from long-time holders to new owners in multiple waves. The first wave in late 2024-early 2025 was followed by July and November selloffs, even as ETFs provided demand that briefly balanced the market. Other drivers include the rise of digital asset treasuries, with companies stockpiling BTC to hedge inflation or lift stock prices. In July, a mystery whale moved 80,000 BTC, trading near $108,000, before Galaxy Digital confirmed it was selling a Satoshi-era stash.

December 27, 2025, 1:38 PM EST. Crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto argues that Bitcoin may no longer offer the best risk-reward, urging investors to consider high-quality altcoins with stronger upside. Among the contenders, DeepSnitch AI stands out as an AI-driven intelligence platform offering real-time market analytics, wallet tracking, and whale-movement insights via agents like SnitchFeed, SnitchScan, and SnitchGPT. The presale has raised over $900k and the token trades around $0.0302, with a dynamic staking APR that rewards long-term holders. Proponents point to another rising altcoin, Pippin, which hit a fresh all-time high despite a short pullback. Critics note the sector remains volatile, but potential 100X gains in 2026 keep attention on AI-enabled tokens linked to unique utility and data-driven decision tools, including insights on XRP and broader markets.

The platform features five autonomous AI agents-SnitchFeed, SnitchScan, and SnitchGPT-linked to a live dashboard that tracks on-chain behavior, market signals, and emerging trends. The timing of the presale, when volatility remains elevated, could set the stage for a rapid move once liquidity improves. The DSNT token has advanced from $0.01510 to $0.03020 in stage 3, a ~100% rise as the project nears a January launch. Early buyers could gain access before a broader market re-prices.

December 27, 2025, 1:20 PM EST. Chase Coleman's Tiger Global has crafted an AI-driven alternative to the traditional Magnificent Seven, trimming Apple and Tesla in favor of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing and Broadcom. The third-quarter 13F shows heavy Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta positions and meaningful stakes in TSM and Broadcom, totaling about 46% of Coleman's portfolio. The focus on AI suggests a shift away from Apple and Tesla, both seen as less AI-centric this cycle. Coleman's lineup highlights the sector's leadership while stressing diversification within semiconductors and software peers. Investors can track the concentration via SEC 13F disclosures, which offer a window into hedge fund bets.

Rivian Stock Gains Momentum in 2025 as AI Pushes for a 2026 Breakout

December 27, 2025, 1:05 PM EST. Rivian's stock surged in 2025 after a long flat period, now up over 40% in the last month. The piece argues Rivian is evolving into an AI stock like Tesla, trading at a multiple around 4.2x sales versus Tesla's ~17x. It notes progress in AI and autonomous features, including hands-free highway assist and point-to-point navigation, showcased at an AI day in early December. The comparison to Tesla underscores a valuation gap and potential for upside if Rivian captures AI-driven growth and robotaxi opportunities. With upcoming 2026 milestones, such as further autonomous capabilities and cost reductions, the author views Rivian as a long-term buy despite a volatile backdrop. Investors are watching for real-world AI progress and regulatory hurdles to validate the rally.

Teladoc Health: After a 98% Slide, Is Now the Time to Buy?

December 27, 2025, 1:04 PM EST. Teladoc Health has tumbled roughly 98% from its February 2021 high as investors question a turnaround. The company's 2025 plan is a repositioning year aimed at product changes and a stronger value proposition, including reforming its BetterHelp unit. In Q3 2025, revenue fell 2% to about $626 million; Integrated Care rose 2% to $390 million while BetterHelp declined 8% to $237 million. U.S. integrated care membership ended at 102.5 million, up 9% YoY, with the chronic care program at 1.17 million. Management says BetterHelp is migrating toward insurance acceptance, though the cash-pay business remains challenged. BetterHelp's EBITDA margin was 1.6% in Q3, and paying users fell 4% to 382,000. The stock sits around $7.12 with a market cap near $1.3B, underscoring the risk of a near-term turnaround.

Top 3 Growth Stocks to Buy Now: MercadoLibre, Eli Lilly, and More

December 27, 2025, 12:48 PM EST. Growth stocks offer long-term upside as profits are reinvested into expansion. This piece highlights three names, starting with MercadoLibre (MELI), the digital backbone of Latin America.

The article promises a third growth stock, combining disruptive potential with durable cash generation.

Dave Ramsey Blasts Uncle as 'What a butthole' After 21-Year-Old Loses $15K to Family Loan

December 27, 2025, 12:17 PM EST. Cathy from Buffalo said she saved about $25,000 through college and lent roughly $15,000 to her uncle to cover his grandfather's hospital bills. The repayment was promised within a year, but never materialized. With no formal contract, the 21-year-old Cathy faced the risk alone until her uncle told her to 'go into debt' and said he'd pay back later. On The Ramsey Show, Dave Ramsey bluntly called him 'What a butthole,' arguing that a college student should not bear the burden. Ramsey noted that hospitals don't repossess people for unpaid bills and recommended two paths: call for repayment with lower expectations, or hire an attorney and sue-knowing it could end the relationship. Co-host George Kamel pointed to Cathy's reliability making her a target.

H World Group Limited (HTHT) Fair Value Review: 2-Stage DCF Signals Pricing Alignment

December 27, 2025, 12:03 PM EST. An overview of H World Group Limited (HTHT) using a 2-stage DCF estimates an intrinsic value near US$43.08 per share. With HTHT trading around US$48.48, the stock appears to trade close to its fair value, though a CN¥51.37 analyst target implies about 19% upside. The model projects levered FCF in CN¥ millions for 2026-2035, applying a 10% discount rate and a Gordon Growth/Terminal Value anchored at 3.3% (5-year government bond yield). The resulting PVCF is roughly CN¥44b. The article cautions that a DCF is one method among many for valuing a company, with outcomes sensitive to growth and discount assumptions; readers should consult other analyses, such as Simply Wall St, for broader context.

Will a Santa Claus Rally Set Up a Strong 2026? Here's My Take on the Year-End Window.

December 27, 2025, 12:02 PM EST. Historically, the Santa Claus rally-the last five trading days of December and first two of January-appears 80% of the time with about 1.3% average returns, signaling a generally positive bias for the year ahead. Since 1926, markets finish higher roughly 70% of years, and a non-occurence often coincides with weaker starts in subsequent months. But a Santa Claus rally is no guarantee: examples like 2022 show that a late-year rally can precede sharp declines. For 2026, the story is mixed. Valuation sits near 30x trailing earnings, well above long-run averages, despite some normalization in tech-led markets. A potentially supportive AI-driven earnings path exists, but 2026 is a midterm-election year, typically challenging for markets, and policy/narrative around Fed leadership could add volatility. In short, the Santa Claus rally can be a tailwind, but fundamentals and political cycles will largely drive the year.

Twilio Outperforms Palantir in 2025: Is This AI Stock a Multibagger Candidate?

December 27, 2025, 11:48 AM EST. Twilio's AI-driven growth is fueling a sharper rally than Palantir this year. While Palantir Technologies (PLTR) has benefited from its Generative AI platform and a 156% stock surge, valuation concerns linger. In contrast, Twilio (TWLO) has climbed about 36% over the last three months as its cloud communications platform adds AI-powered insights and predictive analytics. Twilio's active customer accounts rose 22% year over year to 392,000, with higher spend from existing clients. The company offers APIs that replace traditional contact centers and enable personalized, data-driven campaigns via LLMs based on customer data. Investors are weighing the AI growth against margins and valuation as they assess whether Twilio can sustain long-term momentum in a fast-growing end market.

Gemini Surges to 18% AI Traffic Share, Narrowing Gap With ChatGPT

December 27, 2025, 11:47 AM EST. New Similarweb data shows Gemini climbing from about 5.4% to 18.2% of generative AI web traffic in 12 months, while ChatGPT slips from 87.2% to 68.0%. The shift signals a developing lead for Alphabet in the AI landscape, driven by native distribution across Chrome, Android, Workspace, and Search. Analysts like Shay Boloor say integration helps capture habitual usage and reduce switching friction. Yet the warning persists: even with distribution, Copilot's limited gains (down from 1.5% to 1.2%) show product trust matters too. The data underlines a takeover arc rather than a noise shift, with Gemini converting reach into recurring user engagement as Alphabet benefits from embedded AI within existing workflows.

Two AI Stocks With 10x Upside: UiPath and SentinelOne Could Turn $100k Into $1M by 2036

December 27, 2025, 11:18 AM EST. Two AI stocks are highlighted as potential 10x gainers over the next decade: UiPath and SentinelOne. UiPath trades at a forward P/S around 5x for 2026 estimates and could become a leader in AI agent orchestration thanks to its RPA heritage and the Maestro platform, which manages both software bots and AI agents with human-defined rules. The platform's ability to securely govern agents and integrate with legacy systems could deliver meaningful cost savings as AI agents scale. SentinelOne trades near 4x forward P/S and could gain if it expands its cybersecurity footprint to challenge larger players like CrowdStrike, potentially benefiting from rising demand for AI-powered security solutions. Both stocks are high risk/high reward bets that could, with favorable market dynamics, realize multi-bagger returns over the next 10 years.

Metal Shock Erupts as Silver Surges 6%, Platinum 8%, Palladium 11% – What's Moving Markets Friday

December 27, 2025, 11:17 AM EST. Stocks drifted in a thin, post-holiday session as metals led the charge higher. By midday, silver vaulted over $76/oz, up more than 6%, driven by a tightening Asian supply crunch and soaring year-to-date gains near 164% – its strongest run since 1978. Platinum jumped over 8%, with the Aberdeen Physical Platinum Shares ETF up about 165% YTD, eyeing its best year on record, while palladium climbed about 11%. Gold neared fresh highs above $4,550/oz and copper added roughly 4.6% to recover from July selloff. In equities, Freeport-McMoRan led the S&P 500 with ~3% gains; Nvidia rose after a $20B AI deal with Groq. The S&P 500 hovered near 5,930, set for an eighth straight monthly gain, flags for risk-on sentiment. Bitcoin stayed near $87k.

BofA spotlights niche AI suppliers set to ride the 2026 AI boom

December 27, 2025, 11:03 AM EST. Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya calls several small- to mid-cap names the unsung heroes of the AI data-center build-out, including Credo, Astera Labs, MKS Instruments, Advanced Energy, MACOM, and Teradyne. With AI data-center systems projected to top $1.2 trillion by 2030 and AI accelerators accounting for about $900 billion, Arya notes substantial room for ancillary tech like networking and interconnects. Credo leads in active electrical cables, Astera Labs pushes PCIe 6.0 connectivity, and the other players supply the precision power, high-speed components, and testing that keep chip factories humming. The caveat: pricing power is far from Nvidia's GPU pricing, so investors should weigh margins and market scope as demand shifts.

GST Cuts, EV Push: Will Nifty Auto Beat the Market in 2026?

December 27, 2025, 11:02 AM EST. India's auto rally extended into 2026 as GST rate cuts in Sep 2025 lowered vehicle prices and sparked demand. The Nifty Auto index is up about 22% YTD, outpacing the Nifty 50's ~10% gain, with only a handful of constituents in negative territory. Key drivers include improving domestic demand, improving rural sentiment, a recovering monsoon, and higher infrastructure spending. Analysts flag a broad-based upcycle across PVs, two-wheelers, CVs, and a faster EV rollout as battery costs fall and new launches emerge. Maruti Suzuki's mass-market EV entry in early 2026 is seen as a potential inflection point. By FY26, PVs around 7% and two-wheelers 6-10% are expected, with EVs gaining pace on affordability and localisation.

Zepto files confidential IPO papers for up to ₹11,000 crore, targeting rapid India listing

December 27, 2025, 11:01 AM EST. Zepto has filed draft IPO papers with SEBI to raise up to ₹11,000 crore via a confidential route, with the bulk likely a fresh issue and some stake selling by early investors. The Mumbai-born startup, backed by General Catalyst and Lightspeed, targets a rapid listing as it competes with Blinkit and Swiggy Instamart in the burgeoning 10-minute delivery segment. Analysts note the sector could grow to $57 billion by 2030, though Zepto remains loss-making ahead of its public debut. Zepto recently raised $450 million in pre-IPO funding at a valuation near $7 billion, lifting total funding to about $2 billion. The IPO wave in India has encouraged unicorns such as Zepto to pursue listing next year alongside Paytm, Flipkart, and others.

AVDE Outshines the S&P 500 and Bitcoin in 2025: A Tiny International ETF Delivers Big Alpha

December 27, 2025, 11:00 AM EST. AVDE delivered a 39% return in 2025, eclipsing the S&P 500's ~18% gain and Bitcoin's decline. The Avantis International Equity ETF, with about $11 billion in assets, also beat the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA) by a wide margin (AVDE +39% vs EFA +32%). Its advantage came from active factor tilts toward value, profitability, and smaller international companies, overweighting financials and industrials while underweighting mega-cap tech. The portfolio is ultradiversified-more than 1,000 positions with a cash stake of 1.19%-driving alpha and tax efficiency (about 3% turnover). The 0.23% expense ratio is unusually low for active management, and the 2.37% dividend yield adds income. Looking to 2026, currency moves and policy divergence (dollar strength vs euro/pound) could sustain AVDE's edge.

How a Little-Known International ETF (AVDE) Outpaced the S&P 500, Bitcoin, and Global Markets in 2025

December 27, 2025, 10:59 AM EST. AVDE, the Avantis International Equity ETF, quietly delivered a 39% return in 2025, outperforming the S&P 500 and Bitcoin as investors chased headlines. With about $11 billion in assets, AVDE leveraged factor tilts toward value, profitability, and smaller-cap international stocks, overweighting financials and industrials while sidestepping mega-cap tech. European banks like HSBC, UBS, Barclays, and Deutsche Bank rode a backdrop of higher-for-longer rates, helping the STOXX Europe 600 Banks surge, and defense contractors benefited from elevated spending. Currency moves added translation gains as the dollar weakened. AVDE's edge-active, diversified exposure (over 1,000 positions) and a modest 0.23% expense ratio with ~3% turnover-generated alpha that passive international exposure didn't capture. Looking ahead, the dollar's path and policy gaps could shape 2026 results.

AVDE Surges 39% in 2025, Outpacing S&P 500, Bitcoin, and EFA

December 27, 2025, 10:58 AM EST. While BTC and the S&P 500 grabbed headlines in 2025, the Avantis International Equity ETF (AVDE) delivered a 39% return, topping the S&P 500 and the EFA. AVDE's active, factor-driven approach tilts toward value, profitability, and smaller companies in developed markets, overweighting financials and industrials and underweighting mega-cap tech. Its fierce diversification-over 1,000 positions with a cash stake near 1.2%-helped capture European bank rallies, defense names, and favorable currency moves as the dollar softened. At 0.23% expense, about 3% turnover, and a 2.37% dividend yield, AVDE produced meaningful alpha relative to passive exposure. Looking ahead to 2026: monitor the dollar path and policy divergence between the Fed and ECB for continued currency-driven results.

Tiny ETF AVDE Quietly Outpaced the S&P 500 and Bitcoin in 2025

December 27, 2025, 10:57 AM EST. AVDE, the Avantis International Equity ETF, delivered a 39% return in 2025, beating the S&P 500 (up 18%) and Bitcoin while eclipsing the EFA's 32%. The fund's active, factor-based tilt added roughly 7 percentage points of alpha versus passive international exposure. Key drivers: European banks benefited from higher rates as the ECB kept policy restrictive, while defense names like Rheinmetall, Safran, and Rolls-Royce rode order backlogs. A softer dollar amplified local-currency returns. AVDE uses value, profitability, and smaller-company tilts, overweighting financials and industrials and modestly underweighting mega-cap tech. With 1,000+ positions, the cash stake at 1.19%, a 0.23% expense ratio, 3% turnover, and a 2.37% dividend yield, the fund blends growth with risk discipline. Look ahead: monitor the dollar and policy gaps between the Fed and ECB.

NSE Update: Nifty 50 Ends Holiday Week Lower on FII Outflows as Record-Low VIX Signals Caution

December 27, 2025, 10:33 AM EST. India's NSE closed the holiday week with the Nifty 50 down 0.38% at 26,042.30 and the Sensex off 0.43% to 85,041.45 as traders booked profits into thin year-end liquidity. Weekly moves were modest, with the Nifty and Sensex up roughly 0.3% and 0.1% respectively, though the tone remained constructive after a three-week losing run. A muted session amplified by light volumes-roughly 250 million Nifty 50 shares traded in December vs about 300 million in November-highlighted a stock-picker market rather than broad conviction. Metals led the sector with ~2.7% weekly gains; small-caps outperformed. Headlines around Shriram Finance, Coal India, and Ola Electric provided pockets of momentum. The narrative center is FII outflows, with estimates suggesting 2025 may mark the largest annual exit for foreign institutional investors in Indian equities, despite domestic support.

Vertex Emerges as a Better Buy Than Moderna: Durable Growth in CF Leadership

December 27, 2025, 10:29 AM EST. Forget Moderna. Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) offers a clearer, durable growth story for both cautious and aggressive investors. Moderna faces ongoing execution risks and a cash-breakeven hurdle by 2028, which may deter risk-averse buyers. By contrast, Vertex is a proven growth engine in cystic fibrosis (CF) treatment driven by its CFTR modulators-notably Trikafta and Alyftrek-that already reach ~95% of the CF population. This franchise is protected by strong IP, extending into the next decade. Vertex posted revenue above $3 billion with an 11% quarterly increase, and continued momentum could come from Casgevy and Journavx. With an expanding pipeline and a history of earnings growth, Vertex presents a compelling alternative to Moderna for investors seeking biotech exposure with potentially steadier returns.

3 Stock-Split Stocks to Buy That Could Soar 40%, 35%, and 640%

December 27, 2025, 10:15 AM EST. Stock splits can boost liquidity and make shares more affordable without altering total company value. The article highlights three split stocks to buy for the long run, led by Netflix (NFLX). Netflix enacted a 10-for-1 split that took effect in November 2025, with the stock around $94 and a 12-month price target near $133-roughly 40% upside (potentially up to 62%). The move is paired with a growing ad-supported tier expanding revenue and margins, including higher ad rates from live sports and expanded reach to regions like APAC and Latin America. Netflix's evolving mix of subscriptions and advertising positions it to capitalize on a larger addressable market as it eyes continued subscriber gains.

Is It Too Late to Buy Rimini Street (RMNI)? Valuation, Volatility, and Growth Outlook

December 27, 2025, 9:59 AM EST. Rimini Street, Inc. (RMNI) has attracted attention after moving between US$3.70 and US$4.84 on NASDAQ, raising questions about its current value. The stock trades at a cheap multiple, with a price-to-earnings ratio around 8.4x versus an industry average near 31.68x, suggesting a potential mispricing relative to peers. Yet the rally risks and near-term volatility are evident, driven by a high beta and a highly uncertain earnings outlook. The market is pricing in negative earnings growth in the coming years, which raises risk for new investors. For potential buyers, the question remains: is the stock undervalued enough to justify taking on the downside risk, or would diversification mitigate the risk until clearer catalysts emerge? As always, deeper analysis of cash flows and competitive dynamics is essential.

Lincoln Electric (LECO) Posts 37% ROE Amid a 3-Month Rally, Fueling Growth-Price Debate

December 27, 2025, 9:46 AM EST. Lincoln Electric Holdings (LECO) has gained about 4.1% over the past three months, with profitability fueling the move. The company's trailing twelve-month ROE stands at 37%, well above the industry average of 11%, signaling efficient use of shareholder capital. This profitability backdrop aligns with ~17% net income growth over the last five years, roughly in line with the industry's ~16% pace. Investors will also consider valuation – including the P/E relative to peers – and the payout profile, which shows a three-year median payout ratio of 30%, implying about 70% of earnings are retained for growth. The key question is whether this growth outlook is already reflected in the stock price, given the recent rally.

GRMN Stock Today: FAA Review After Garmin Autoland's First Real Emergency Landing

December 27, 2025, 9:43 AM EST. Garmin's GRMN shares moved near $205 after Autoland completed its first full emergency landing, triggering an FAA review of procedures and crew actions. The incident underscores aviation automation's real-world impact and could influence orders for certified cockpit systems, potentially boosting Garmin's aviation segment and pricing power. The FAA probe focuses on training and documentation; a clearance without hardware changes would support a measured expansion of certification timelines, while new guardrails could slow adoption. For Canadian investors, the key question is how Autoland demand and regulatory timelines intersect with valuation. GRMN trades around $205 with a 52-week range of $169-$262, a price/earnings near 25, and a dividend yield of ~1.7%. Street targets imply upside if execution remains on plan, but the regulatory path adds a layer of risk to near-term returns.

SGX Weekend Watch: STI Flat; Singapore Factory Output Surges; What It Means for Monday Open

December 27, 2025, 9:42 AM EST. SGX enters the year's end with mixed signals: the STI closed essentially flat in thin post-Christmas trading, as liquidity thins and investors brace for Monday's open. SGX stock S68 eased 0.75% on Friday amid light volume, while the STI dipped to 4,636.15. The macro highlight: Singapore's factory output jumped 14.3% YoY in November, supported by biomedical (+79.3% YoY) and electronics strengths. Excluding biomedical, output still grew 4.6% YoY, though total output month-on-month fell 10.2% due to seasonality. For SGX, the data could drive near-term trading and hedging demand across its derivatives complex as positioning thins into year-end. Look for Monday's open to respond to any gap risk and the ongoing mix of growth drivers: transport engineering, chemicals modest, with patient risk appetite.

Warren Buffett's Retirement Signals a Market Warning: What Investors Should Do Before 2026

December 27, 2025, 9:39 AM EST. With Warren Buffett preparing to pass the reins to Greg Abel in 2026, Berkshire Hathaway is steering its massive stock portfolio toward the next era. Buffett's May retirement note shows he'll keep the same hands-on approach until year-end, preserving Berkshire's strategy while his successor readies the transition. The portfolio, now north of $315 billion in market value, carries a warning: Berkshire has been a net seller for 12 straight quarters, trimming roughly $184 billion in stock over three years. Big cuts include Apple, Bank of America, and Chevron, even as new bets on Chubb, Alphabet, and Sirius XM modestly grew. Valuations across holdings have surged, challenging entry costs, suggesting investors should expect more cautious positioning from Berkshire as they look to 2026 and beyond.

Netflix Stock NFLX Weekend Update: Warner Bros Deal, Post-Split Price, and Key Near-Term Watchpoints

December 27, 2025, 9:31 AM EST. As of Saturday morning, NFLX is paused for weekend trading, but the story remains active around Netflix stock. The shares hover near $94.47 on a post-split basis after Netflix completed a 10-for-1 split in November. The big headline: the planned acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) with an implied equity value of about $72.0 billion and enterprise value around $82.7 billion-paid as $23.25 cash + $4.50 in Netflix stock per WBD share (subject to a collar). Closing is targeted for 12-18 months after regulatory approvals, with a roughly Q3 2026 finish. In a thin liquidity environment amid year-end "Santa rally" dynamics, investors should watch Fed minutes due next week and the macro backdrop. Netflix says the deal would unlock roughly $2-$3 billion of annual cost synergies.

Green Brick Partners, Inc. (NYSE: GRBK) – 56% Institutional Ownership Signals Investor Confidence

December 27, 2025, 9:30 AM EST. Green Brick Partners (NYSE: GRBK) shows a heavy institutional ownership base, with about 56% of shares held by institutions. That level means price moves may hinge on the trading actions of large investors, including hedge funds which control roughly 22% of the stock. The largest holder, Greenlight Capital, Inc., accounts for 22%, while other top holders own 11% and 5%, respectively; the CEO James Brickman owns about 4.4%. Analysts note that when institutions own a majority, crowded trades can emerge, amplifying volatility if sentiment shifts. While this backing can signal credibility, it also warrants caution due to potential shifts in the balance of power among major holders. Investors should weigh growth history and earnings trajectory alongside ownership dynamics.

TSX Near 32,000 as Metals Rally Sparks Year-End Push; Gold and Silver Reach All-Time Highs

December 27, 2025, 9:26 AM EST. The TSX is in pause mode heading into the final three 2025 sessions, with the S&P/TSX Composite hovering near 32,000 after a holiday-shortened run. The 2025 close is up about 29.4% as of Dec 24, led by financials and materials. A fresh surge in the metals complex – with silver at fresh records and gold and platinum at all-time highs – has the commodities pulse driving the market, given Canada's miner exposure. Energy pricing remained mixed, with oil slipping about 2.8% in the U.S. session. U.S. equities traded thinly as year-end volumes cooled, and Toronto remains closed for Boxing Day, resuming Monday as traders assess whether the metal bid can carry into 2026.

Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) Stock Dives Friday; Key Drivers to Watch for Monday

December 27, 2025, 9:11 AM EST. Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) finished Friday at $37.17, down about 9.3% on lighter volume, as investors digest a post-holiday retreat. The move followed a broader market pause with few catalysts, leaving high-beta names vulnerable to incremental selling. Analysts point to a mix of factors: a recent run, year-end liquidity, and ongoing questions about AAOI's data-center ramp. A fresh Trefis analysis flags concerns over Q4 outlook, potential data-center shipment delays, and higher operating costs, while movement may reflect volatility rather than a fundamental reversal. Conversely, a Seeking Alpha piece argues AAOI's 800G progress and management's capacity targets could still fuel an upside if execution improves. In Q3, AAOI reported revenue of $118.6M, a 28.0% gross margin, and a GAAP net loss of $17.9M; data-center revenue was "a touch below" expectations. Investors will watch Monday for fresh guidance and shipments timing.

Retail Investors Own 46% of CRBP; Hedge Funds 24%; No Single Majority at Corbus Pharmaceuticals

December 27, 2025, 9:10 AM EST. Corbus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CRBP) shows a diversified ownership mix where retail investors hold about 46% of shares, giving them substantial influence on strategy. Hedge funds own roughly 24%, while institutional investors hold about 23%, indicating professional money remains a meaningful counterweight but not a controlling bloc. The top shareholder is Cormorant Asset Management, LP with 13%, followed by OrbiMed Advisors LLC at 6.3% and Octagon Capital Advisors LP at around 6.0%. Notably, 25 of the top holders collectively own under 50% of the register, meaning no single party has a majority stake. The mix suggests potential for retail-driven activism alongside professional investment dynamics, with the usual caveats about crowded trades and the need to analyze growth history beyond ownership numbers.

Euronext ENX Stock Outlook: Shares Hover Near €126 as Year-End Trading Returns and 2026 Rate-Cut Bets Build

December 27, 2025, 9:09 AM EST. Euronext N.V. (ENX) is trading near €126 as 2025 winds down with thin liquidity and calendar-driven closures shaping price action. The latest quote shows ENX at €126.60, up 0.4%, extending roughly an 18% gain over the past year; its 52-week range sits between €104.40-€153.50. Traders note Euronext operates as the market's picks-and-shovels play for Europe, touching trading volumes, listings, clearing, data and corporate services. With markets closed for holidays, the last session offered a low-volume read on sentiment ahead of year-end rebalancing. Fed minutes due could inform the rate path into 2026. Analysts point to rotation into moderately valued names and expectations for gradual rate cuts, amid a globally risk-on but hedged mood.

Kirby Corporation (KEX) in Focus: Valuation, Outlook, and the Case for a Watch List

December 27, 2025, 8:55 AM EST. Kirby Corporation (KEX) has rallied about 39% in recent months, but remains pricier than peers. The stock trades at roughly a P/E ratio of 19.7x versus an industry average near 6.1x, suggesting it may be priced for strong growth. Its low beta implies relative price stability but potentially limited upside if markets drift. On the positive side, analysts expect earnings growth of about 24% over the next few years, which could lift cash flows and justify elevated multiples. However, if the optimism is already embedded in the price, near-term upside may be constrained. For investors compiling a watch list, Kirby warrants deeper due diligence on fundamentals and sensitivity to energy demand and freight cycles.

Westwood Holdings Group (WHG) posts 83% 3-year TSR, driven by dividends and EPS growth

December 27, 2025, 8:54 AM EST. Westwood Holdings Group (NYSE: WHG) shows a mixed 3-year picture: its price return over three years is around 60%, lagging the broader market, yet the stock's total shareholder return (TSR) over the same period sits at 83% thanks to dividends boosting returns. The company posted strong EPS growth, about 73% per year over three years, outpacing the roughly 17% annual rise in the share price, suggesting market sentiment has cooled although profits have risen. The last year's TSR reaches about 31%, reflecting the dividend plus a better near-term performance, while the 1-year TSR outpaces the 5-year TSR (11% annually). The analysis also notes two potential warning signs. Investors should weigh dividends, TSR, and risk disclosures when assessing WHG.

FTSE 100 Near Record Highs Ahead of Monday LSE Reopen

December 27, 2025, 8:36 AM EST. London markets return on Monday after a Christmas break, with thin liquidity expected as desks re-enter. The FTSE 100 finished December 24 at 9,870.68, capping a year the market sees as a roughly 20.7% gain, led by mining, financials, and defence. The next session opens at 8:00 a.m. London time on December 29. In 2025, the S&P 500 was up about 16%, while UK blue chips rode the rally near a 52-week high around 9,930. The macro backdrop remains the Bank of England easing, with a 25bp cut to 3.75% in December, shaping banks, insurers, homebuilders, and real estate margins and headlines. Note holiday half-days that can amplify moves.

NIO Stock Weekend Update: Deliveries, 2026 Efficiency Rule, and 2026 Targets

December 27, 2025, 8:24 AM EST. NIO finished Friday around $5.10 and traded near $5.08 after hours as investors digest a light holiday session and policy catalysts. A new Chinese EV efficiency rule taking effect in 2026-aiming for roughly 15.1 kWh/100 km for a two-tonne model-adds a macro variable to 2026 demand and margins. Deliveries remain the stock's driver: Sept 34,749 (+64% YoY), Oct 40,397 (+93%), Nov 36,275 (+76%), pushing cumulative to about 949,457. Those figures underpin Q4 guidance-roughly 120k-125k deliveries and improving revenue-while the company's multi-brand strategy (NIO, ONVO, Firefly) aims to lift scale without crushing margins. Analysts' 2026 targets hinge on efficiency gains, cost controls, and demand in China plus global expansion.

FDMT Stock in Focus: Positive 4D-710 CFTR Data Spurs Upside for 4D Molecular Therapeutics (FDMT)

December 27, 2025, 8:23 AM EST. FDMT Stock in Focus: Positive 4D-710 CFTR Data Spurs Upside for 4D Molecular Therapeutics (FDMT). 4D Molecular Therapeutics shows continued investor interest with an 82% Buy-equivalent rating and a target range of $17-$45, implying an upside of over 300% to a $33 median target. On Dec 19, CLO Scott Bizily sold 1,635 shares (~$17,821). On Dec 17, interim results from the 4D-710 Phase 1 AEROW trial in CF lung disease noted no new safety events in higher-dose cohorts through 3.5 years; lower doses had mild, resolvable events. CFTR transgene RNA levels were stable and dose-dependent, with the 2.5E14 vg cohort meeting target expression and showing activity in ppFEV1 and LCI2.5. FDMT, a California biotech, focuses on AAV vectors via Therapeutic Vector Evolution. The note acknowledges AI stocks offering potentially greater upside.

Retiring at 55: Why leaving the workforce early can save money and boost life quality

December 27, 2025, 8:22 AM EST. Many Americans see 55 as a sweet spot for retirement, even though the earliest Social Security eligibility is 62. The piece argues that quitting earlier can improve quality of life and may save money. Highlights include: nearly 18% want to retire by 55, often when mortgages are paid off and you're an empty-nester, preserving energy for travel and activities. Life expectancy vs healthy years suggests seven extra years of good health if you retire at 55. Financial benefits include lower tax burdens in your 50s, and the efficiency of Roth conversions when in a lower bracket, plus drawing down from pre-tax accounts like a 401(k) or IRA. The trade-off is higher potential medical costs and savings anxiety that can push people to work longer.

Two Growth Stocks to Watch Before They Soar in 2026

December 27, 2025, 8:21 AM EST. Growth investors are eyeing long-term opportunities in high-potential stocks. The piece spotlights two names, with IonQ at the forefront. IonQ is a pure-play quantum computing company using trapped-ion technology that can operate at room temperature, setting it apart from many cryogenic rivals. It monetizes through access to its quantum power on a per-use or subscription basis via cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure Quantum, and Google Cloud. The company is expanding into quantum networking, security, and sensing through acquisitions like Oxford Ionics and Capella Space to build a full-stack quantum platform. In Q3 2025, revenue reached $39.9 million, up 222% YoY, driven by partnerships and collaborations, though IonQ remains unprofitable as it continues heavy R&D investment.

Prediction: Could AMD 5X by 2030 as AI Data-Center Demand Grows

December 27, 2025, 8:08 AM EST. Investors are weighing whether AMD can deliver a 5X gain by 2030, a goal that implies roughly a 38% CAGR tied to a sizable AI data-center opportunity. AMD's management is bullish about a five-year outlook, aided by ROCm software improvements and a closing gap with Nvidia. In the near term, AMD trails in data-center revenue-about $4.3 billion in Q3 2025 versus Nvidia's roughly $51.2 billion in the latest figures-but new cloud-GPU wins and a potential return to the China market could lift the trajectory. A 15% export concession to the U.S. may restart that channel. Still, competition, execution risk, and cyclical demand remain hurdles as AI demand powers the sector.

Is AUTL the Best Get-Rich-Fast Stock to Buy Right Now? An Autolus Analysis

December 27, 2025, 8:07 AM EST. Autolus Therapeutics plc (AUTL) is highlighted as a potential get rich fast stock, with a consensus among 11 analysts and a median target around $10, implying about 495% upside. Wells Fargo's Yanan Zhu reaffirmed a Buy with a $5 target (~198% upside). The firm also released Phase 1 CARLYSLE data for obe-cel in refractory srSLE, showing encouraging responses and a deep reset in B-cell compartments. Autolus is a UK-based, clinical-stage biotech pursuing next-generation T-cell immunotherapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases. While the piece acknowledges AUTL's upside potential, it suggests that select AI stocks may offer greater upside with less downside risk, and promotes a free report on short-term AI opportunities.

Janux Therapeutics (JANX) Draws Wall Street Interest as TRACTr Progress Highlights Upside

December 27, 2025, 8:06 AM EST. Janux Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: JANX) is attracting renewed attention from investors after a consensus buy signal and a wide gap between high and low price targets, signaling meaningful upside potential. Analysts report a 1-year upside range roughly from 249% to 948%, with Barclays trimming its target to $29 but keeping an Overweight stance as part of its 2026 outlook. In late December, JANX updated on its Phase 1 study of JANX008, an EGFR-targeted TRACTr therapy, noting completion of the Phase 1a dose-escalation and the start of expansion cohorts to optimize dosing across selected solid tumors including colorectal cancer, NSCLC, and SCLC. Janux is a California-based clinical-stage biopharma advancing cancer immunotherapies via TRACTr and TRACIr platforms. Investors should weigh upside against execution risk in early-stage programs.

Tilray Brands (TLRY) Mixed Analyst Sentiment Sparks Cautious Upside Potential

December 27, 2025, 8:05 AM EST. Tilray Brands, Inc. (TLRY) sits in a mixed analyst zone: just over 60% of coverages rate it a Hold and about 36% a Buy. The consensus target ranges from $8.50 to $25, with a median of $19, implying roughly 88.5% upside potential. On Dec 22, Bernstein raised its target to $10 from $1 while keeping a Market Perform stance. The research ties cannabis policy shifts-such as a Trump-era framework to reschedule cannabis and refine hemp-derived products-to potential upside, noting bipartisan momentum as Gallup shows 64% support for legalization in 2025. Tilray operates across four segments-Beverage, Cannabis, Distribution, and Wellness-while investors weigh the upside against sector volatility and the broader AI-stock discourse.

Allegiant Airlines stock soars 52% in six months, lifts 2025 guidance above $3.00 per share

December 27, 2025, 7:48 AM EST. ALGT has surged 52% over the past six months, underscoring renewed investor confidence as the carrier lifts its 2025 profit guidance to above $3.00 per share from above $2.25. The company's airline-only EPS guidance now sits above $4.35 per share for full-year 2025, reflecting strong operational execution and robust demand heading into the holiday season. At current levels near $84.64, the stock remains within reach of its 52-week high of $107.57 as momentum builds into year-end. The upgrade acts as a fresh catalyst for a rally that has characterized ALGT shares through 2025, with traders eyeing further upside on capacity discipline and cost controls.

Bank of America Stock Price Prediction and Forecast 2026-2030 (BAC) Outlook

December 27, 2025, 7:32 AM EST. Bank of America (BAC) has surged in 2025, up about 27% YTD and roughly 64% off its 2025 low, after Q3 beats on EPS ($1.06) and revenue ($28.09B). Since a late-2023 dip, the stock has rallied ~109% through October 2025, but future returns depend on macro policy and rate moves. 24/7 Wall St. frames a five-year outlook around BAC's numbers, balance sheet and macro environment. Key drivers include an interest-sensitive balance sheet and rising net interest income (NII) from higher rates, with possible headwinds from rate cuts or inflation signs. Investors should watch loan demand, credit costs, and policy changes as BAC navigates the 2026-2030 horizon while leveraging scale and asset growth.

Zepto Files Confidential Draft for $1.3B IPO with SEBI, Eyes 2026 Listing

December 27, 2025, 7:19 AM EST. Zepto, the four-year-old quick-commerce platform, has filed a confidential draft with SEBI for a roughly $1.3 billion IPO, seeking about Rs 11,000 crore of new equity while existing investors offer shares. The deal could value Zepto near $7 billion after a recent funding round, and the listing is targeted for the July-September 2026 quarter. A slate of bankers – including Morgan Stanley, Axis Capital, HSBC, Goldman Sachs, JM Financial, IIFL Securities and Motilal Oswal – is steering the issue. Zepto moved its base back to India from Singapore and had about Rs 7,000 crore in cash as of late November. It will compete with Eternal's Blinkit and Swiggy Instamart as it eyes ground in India's fast-growing quick-commerce space, with the IPO size potentially revised before launch.

Two Dividend Stocks to Double Up on Right Now: Realty Income in Focus

December 27, 2025, 7:16 AM EST. As a reminder, dividend stocks can boost long-term returns. Realty Income stands out with a monthly dividend and an impressive streak: 666 consecutive monthly dividends and 133 dividend increases since its 1994 listing, including 113 quarterly raises. The stock yields about 6% and has delivered roughly 80% total return over the last decade. Realty Income runs a REIT model focused on single-tenant properties under long-term, triple-net leases, transferring taxes, insurance, and maintenance to tenants. Its portfolio features blue-chip tenants like Dollar General, 7-Eleven, Walgreens, Home Depot, and more. A strong, investment-grade balance sheet supports easy access to capital, enabling large acquisitions. The company is expanding into Europe, where early properties offer higher initial cash yields, potentially enhancing future dividend growth.

3 Incredible Stocks to Buy for 2026: Nvidia, The Trade Desk, and MercadoLibre

December 27, 2025, 7:02 AM EST. Three diversified bets for 2026 touch semiconductors, ad tech, and Latin American e-commerce: Nvidia (NVDA), The Trade Desk (TTD), and MercadoLibre (MELI). Nvidia remains a core AI accelerator play, riding surging data-center capex and a cloud-GPU supply squeeze; the stock trades around 24x 2026 earnings, with a forecast of $3-4 trillion in data-center spend by 2030. The Trade Desk has faced a tough 2025 but posted 18% revenue growth in Q3; despite competition and Kokai rollout headwinds, its forward valuation sits below 18x 2026 earnings, setting up a potential rebound. MercadoLibre joins the trio as a distinct growth lever in its regional market. The piece argues these names offer exposure to different growth engines and the chance for outsized returns in 2026.

3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks Over 5%: No-Brainer Buys in Today's Market

December 27, 2025, 7:01 AM EST. High dividends can boost long-term returns, but only when backed by quality cash flow. Realty Income (O) stands out with a ~5.8% yield and a long track record: 56+ years of monthly payouts, 113 straight quarterly hikes, and 1,600+ tenants across 15,500 properties. As a net-lease REIT, its tenants shoulder many operating costs, helping to preserve predictable cash flow. In Q3 2025, AFFO per share was $1.08 on $1.47B revenue (up ~11%), driven by a high occupancy (98.7%) and solid rent recapture. Investors should beware yield traps where price drops reflect company trouble. The piece promises two more high-yield picks north of 5% that, at first glance, look like no-brainer buys amid today's rate environment.

Three Reasons to Consider Buying Annaly Capital Stock Despite Dividend Volatility

December 27, 2025, 6:46 AM EST. Annaly Capital (NLY) trades on a tempting dividend yield but its payout history has been highly volatile. The article highlights three reasons some investors might buy: 1) A recent dividend increase signals the board's confidence in ongoing earnings, despite a prior history of fluctuations. 2) A backdrop of falling interest rates could lower funding costs and improve the earnings profile, benefiting leverage-driven mortgage securities. 3) Annaly has been effective at hitting its objective by prioritizing total returns, not just income, though the focus on total return requires reinvestment and time. Cautions: the 12% yield is risky, the housing market remains weak, and rate moves alone may not unlock demand. Investors should weigh sustainability of the payout and long-term earnings power.

Is Roper Technologies (NASDAQ:ROP) Undervalued Right Now? A Quick Look

December 27, 2025, 6:45 AM EST. Roper Technologies (NASDAQ:ROP) has seen notable volatility, trading recently around $451 after spiking near $520. The piece assesses whether the current price reflects true value or offers a buying opportunity. Valuation hints point to an intrinsic value of about $720.44 per share, suggesting the stock is undervalued at the moment. The analysis notes the stock's low beta and relative price stability, implying potential gradual upside rather than swift moves. Forward-looking projections show earnings growth of ~38% in coming years, which could bolster cash flows and the share price. The article also highlights considerations for shareholders and prospective buyers, including capital structure and management track record, before making any investment decision.

3 AI Stocks I'd Happily Hold Through Any Market Crash

December 27, 2025, 6:29 AM EST. Historical AI-led rally has pushed equities higher, but some worry about an AI bubble. The piece argues valuations are still reasonable for durable players and that AI demand could power a multi-trillion market. It highlights three names offering safety in a crash: Nvidia, the leading AI chipmaker with a broad platform footprint; Microsoft, a cloud-driven AI services powerhouse extending its product stack; and a third well-established AI player with proven earnings growth. The takeaway: these companies combine strong balance sheets, high-margin businesses, and ongoing AI adoption, making them attractive bets even in downturns.

IPO Watch: Quiet End of 2025 Sets Stage for a Busier 2026 in India

December 27, 2025, 6:15 AM EST. India's IPO market closes 2025 on a quiet note, with listings taking center stage next week rather than fresh fundraisings.

Fed Admits It Can't Fix an Economic Problem It Helped Create

December 27, 2025, 6:14 AM EST. Federal Reserve policymakers acknowledge that their recent policy choices have widened the gap between rich and poor, a consequence of ultra-low rates that buoyed stock prices while leaving many households behind. About 20% of homeowners still enjoy mortgage rates below 3%, and asset wealth largely accrued to those already invested. The US stock market has persisted in gains fueled by AI, even as wage growth for lower-income Americans lagged the wealthy, raising affordability concerns. Officials describe the economy as a K-shaped recovery and say the central bank cannot easily fix it with policy alone. They stress the goal of getting the labor market back on its feet and prompting faster wage gains, but acknowledge the challenge of widening inequality.

December 27, 2025, 5:44 AM EST. Vizsla Silver Corp. (VZLA) rides a late-December rally as silver tests fresh records and thin year-end volume fends off volatility. The stock closed Friday near highs, with after-hours prints around the mid-$6s, underscoring how silver sentiment can lift junior miners even before production. Vizsla remains a pure-play on silver-gold economics rather than cash flow, so broader metals strength can spur appetite for the name. Core catalysts underway include the Panuco feasibility update, financing progress, and a new land grab dynamic that analysts are weighing.

Ford Stock News and Forecast: EV Strategy Reset, $19.5B Writedown, and Battery Storage Push

December 27, 2025, 5:30 AM EST. Ford's latest move centers on an EV strategy reset tied to a $19.5B writedown and the scrapping of projects like the T3 and certain electric vans. The plan shifts capital toward trucks, hybrids, affordable EVs, and battery storage, with Ford signaling an updated 2025 adjusted EBIT of about $7B and reaffirmed free cash flow targets. Management argues the reallocation avoids low-margin EV volume and fixes profitability timelines. The company also intends an extended-range EV to replace the F-150 Lightning, leveraging a gas-assisted recharge. Behind the headlines, Ford's Q3 2025 results show multiple lines of business at different efficiency, reinforcing the case that the company's strength lies in its commercial and traditional vehicle mix while trimming EV losses. Investors face a quieter week ahead, with Monday's opening providing the first true price discovery.

Ford Stock (NYSE: F) News: EV Strategy Reset, $19.5B Charge, and Outlook Ahead of Monday Open

December 27, 2025, 5:29 AM EST. Ford Motor Company shares traded around $13.31 with a roughly 0.4% dip as markets closed for the weekend, delaying price discovery until Monday. The backdrop remains a thin, near-record tape as investors weigh the Fed's signals, rate expectations, and cyclicals sensitivity. The biggest near-term driver is Ford's EV strategy reset, including a $19.5 billion writedown and the scrapping of projects like the next-generation EV truck (codename T3) and certain electric vans. Ford says it will shift capital toward trucks, hybrids, affordable EVs, and battery storage, while raising 2025 adjusted EBIT guidance to about $7 billion and reaffirming free cash flow targets. Ford's internal scorecard shows a mix of profit drivers, with traditional commercial strength masking continued EV losses as the reset unfolds.

In technicals, the Financial Services sector saw 3LAM.PA break its downtrend, with an ADX of 37.18 signaling strong momentum, and an RSI of 29.67 indicating oversold pressure that could attract bargain hunters. Meyka AI assigns a score of 67.55 and a B (HOLD) grade, forecasting a cautious year-end outlook amid volatility inherent to leveraged products. Investors should weigh amplified risk and monitoring of underlying AMD moves.

December 27, 2025, 4:42 AM EST. Jim Cramer weighed in on KB Home (KBH) after its disappointing Q4 results, arguing that aggressive price increases left the homebuilder exposed to a pricing collapse. KBH reported revenue of about $1.69B and EPS of $1.92, with fiscal 2026 full-year revenue guidance of $5.10B-$6.10B, below 2025's $6.21B.

Cramer suggested the real issue is overpriced homes and that housing demand could benefit from prices rolling back toward 2018 levels, potentially creating a buyer's window despite rate considerations.

Jim Cramer Says Lululemon Is 'Challenged' as Analysts Lift LULU Targets

December 27, 2025, 4:41 AM EST.Lululemon (LULU) has fallen about 43% year-to-date, and even as analysts like Stifel, BofA, and Truist lift their price targets (to $210, $220, and $200 respectively), the stock remains under pressure. In its latest notes, Stifel cited a 5% drop in U.S. sales in Q3, a trend blamed on weaker customer loyalty and intensified competition. BofA noted higher promo spend to drive traffic, while Truist pointed to revenue growth driven by China despite domestic softness. On air, Jim Cramer dubbed LULU 'challenged', signaling a cautious stance even as some bulls seek upside elsewhere.

Texas Roadhouse TXRH Could Hit $200, Says Jim Cramer

December 27, 2025, 4:40 AM EST. Jim Cramer says Texas Roadhouse (TXRH) could reach $200 if tariffs on beef ease and cattle costs fall, underscoring the stock's pricing power. Wells Fargo upgraded TXRH to Overweight in December with a $195 target, noting the recent price dip could be a buying entry amid high beef costs. In Q3, TXRH faced about 7.9% commodity inflation, sparking a 6.1% jump in sales but a 168 basis point hit to restaurant-level margins. The bank sees potential improvements in 2026 and possible market-share gains. Cramer praised TXRH for keeping its $11 steak price despite beef turmoil. The takeaway: TXRH's outlook hinges on beef-cost dynamics, pricing power, and potential multiple expansion, even as investors eye other opportunities.

XP Factory (LON:XPF) Might Have The Makings Of A Multi-Bagger, But ROCE Needs Improvement

December 27, 2025, 4:23 AM EST. XP Factory (LON:XPF) shows early profitability, moving from loss-making five years ago to a ROCE of 4.0% in the trailing twelve months, signaling potential for a compounding business. The company is reinvesting capital, using substantially more assets to drive earnings, a hallmark of multi-bagger prospects. However, the current ROCE trails the hospitality sector average of 7.4%, suggesting room for improvement. A 15% five-year stock decline adds context for a potential entry point, but risks remain and one warning sign is noted. Investors may want to scrutinize whether capital can be deployed at ever-higher returns and whether the company can sustain profitability as it scales. See analyst forecasts and deeper fundamentals before investing.

Redefine Properties (JSE:RDF) dominated by institutions: implications for risk and upside

December 27, 2025, 4:08 AM EST. Redefine Properties (JSE:RDF) shows 79% institutional ownership, signaling that major players steer the stock. The top six shareholders control over half the company, led by Public Investment Corporation (PIC) at 21%, with Ninety One UK Limited at 9.3% and Sesfikile Capital (Pty) Ltd around 6.7%. This concentration suggests buy/sell decisions may track institutions' moves, increasing the risk of a crowded trade if portfolios realign. While strong backing can boost liquidity and research, it can also magnify declines when funds exit in unison. Investors should weigh RDF's earnings and revenue growth history against the risk/reward profile, recognizing that institutional capital often drives short-term price action more than standalone fundamentals. The ownership snapshot as of December 27, 2025 helps contextualize potential risk and upside.

December 27, 2025, 3:57 AM EST. Indian equities wrapped 2025 with gains, as the Nifty 50 rose about 10.2% and the Sensex climbed up to 8%.

The brokerage Axis Direct notes an inflexion in corporate earnings, with FY26-27 estimates for 12-15% YoY growth.

The core drivers remain financials, consumption, and capital-intensive sectors, underpinning a potential cyclical recovery in 2026.

Analysts expect a cyclical earnings pickup, with consensus forecasters projecting 12%-15% YoY earnings growth in FY26-27, driving the Nifty higher.

Don't Buy Lumen Technologies Stock Until Reality Backs Up the Hype

December 27, 2025, 3:34 AM EST. Investors should let Lumen Technologies show its path rather than chase headlines. Lumen Technologies has surged on AI-related hype and deals with Microsoft and Alphabet, with management calling it the backbone of the AI economy. Yet the financial reality paints a different picture. The company carries more than $17.5 billion in long-term debt, roughly double its $7.9 billion market cap, and, despite refinancing, expects over $1 billion in annual interest. In Q3, Lumen reported a $621 million loss on $3.08 billion in revenue, highlighting cash burn. Management has signaled that revenue growth may not resume until 2028, long after the company pivoted from its legacy business. Until Lumen demonstrates sustained profitability and meaningful debt reduction, the hype may outpace reality for investors.

December 27, 2025, 3:18 AM EST. Powell warned that U.S. equities look fairly expensive, a view echoed by other policymakers who flag stretched valuations and the risk of a disorderly correction.

December 27, 2025, 2:47 AM EST. H.C. Wainwright reiterated a Buy on Rezolve AI PLC (NASDAQ:RZLV) with a $10 target, arguing the stock remains undervalued given an accelerating growth story.

Retail Investors Fuel India's IPO Boom in 2025

December 27, 2025, 2:39 AM EST. India's 2025 IPO year has been powered by a surge in retail investors, who have poured nearly ₹42,000 crore into mainboard IPOs-about three times 2023 levels and close to the ₹45,700 crore invested by FPIs in fresh equity issues. An additional ₹38,000 crore flowed through mutual funds, buoyed by record SIP inflows, underscoring a broad lift in individual risk appetite. Industry voices say the trend reflects growing financial capacity and longer horizons, aided by a regulatory framework that guarantees a dedicated retail quota in IPOs and a capped, lottery-like allotment mechanism, which lowers downside risk. Globally, Indian retail participation stands out versus the US and Europe, with primary-market activity fueled by access to high-growth names despite some foreign fund outflows from secondary markets.

Industry executives describe a persistent one-way trend as locals buy directly and through funds, aided by India's retail quota and favorable allotment rules. The structure keeps downside risk in check, making IPOs resemble a low-risk lottery for many participants. The episode signals rising household income and savings discipline, bolstering India's status as a standout market with sustained retail participation in the IPO cycle.
