MarketBeat Week in Review – 12/15 - 12/19
Reported by MarketBeat Staff. Published: 12/20/2025.
The markets moved higher to end the week, but will it be enough to spark the hoped-for Santa Claus rally? A belated November inflation reading helped, as did a jobs report that supported expectations for future rate cuts. Money continues to flow into the market even as signs of sector rotation emerge.
Still, the macro picture is mixed. Investors were hit with weak November housing data to close the week, which could weigh on overall sentiment.
Next week is a shortened trading week because of the Christmas holiday. Markets will be closed on Christmas Day and will close at 1:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve.

What No One's Saying About Amazon's 30k Layoff
First they cut jobs at Meta... now 30,000 at Amazon – its largest layoff in history. What's happening inside these Mag 7 companies, particularly as the stocks continue to soar to all- time highs? The same former hedge fund manager who predicted the dot com crash, the housing crisis and the fall of Lehman is now stepping forward to explain what's really going on... and what you should be doing with your money
At a Glance
- Markets were moving higher to end the week, which could set the stage for a Santa Claus rally.
- The broader macro story remains mixed, including weak housing data for November.
- The markets will be closed on Christmas Day and close at 1:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve.
Articles by Thomas Hughes
Thomas Hughes reminded investors that concerns about an AI bubble may persist. But results from a company like Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) tell a more bullish story. The company delivered exceptional results backed by strong demand, and technical signals point to as much as 60% upside for MU stock.
A major story this week was the Trump administration's reclassification of cannabis as a Schedule III drug. Earlier, Hughes explained how the cannabis industry could benefit, which stocks stand to gain, and why upside may remain limited until institutional dollars flow into the sector.
Hughes also recapped why MongoDB Inc. (NASDAQ: MDB) has been a strong performer in 2025. As Hughes noted, the company was recognized as an essential part of AI infrastructure this year. Bullish sentiment from analysts and institutions suggests MDB stock still has room to run.
Articles by Sam Quirke
AppLovin Corp. (NASDAQ: APP) is one of 2025's best-performing yet most heavily shorted stocks. Sam Quirke explored that contradiction and laid out the bull case that could set up a short squeeze.
Quirke also examined the continued slide in Nutanix Inc. (NASDAQ: NTNX) following its earnings report. He argued the results may not have been as bad as they looked, and that NTNX stock could set up as a comeback trade.
After a more than 120% run since April, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) appears extended. Still, Quirke provided two reasons investors might view TSLA stock as a potential bargain.
Articles by Chris Markoch
If analysts are right and inflation returns in 2026, investors may favor dividend stocks that can outpace rising prices. This week, Chris Markoch highlighted three high-yield dividend stocks trading under $20 that could help protect purchasing power.
Sticking with the inflation theme, Markoch noted that the long end of the yield curve remains stubbornly high despite recent rate cuts. That dynamic could make these three finance stocks an attractive alternative to rising 10-year Treasury rates.
Beef prices remain elevated, and analysts expect that to continue into 2026. It will take years to resolve the supply shortage at the root of the problem. In the meantime, Markoch highlighted three steakhouse stocks that are managing rising costs in different ways.
Articles by Ryan Hasson
One of the most eye-catching headlines this week came from SpaceX hinting at an initial public offering (IPO) in 2026. Ryan Hasson explained why Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) could be a major beneficiary of a SpaceX IPO.
There are clear signs of sector rotation. Finance stocks are seeing some of the biggest inflows, and Hasson highlighted the breakout in the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEARCA: XLF), explaining why three of its largest components show bullish technical setups near breakout levels.
Industrial stocks remain among 2025's top performers. Hasson highlighted three industrial stocks worth watching for investors looking to capitalize on this momentum into 2026.
Articles by Leo Miller
The battle over who will buy Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ: WBD) took a surprise turn when Paramount Skydance (NASDAQ: PSKY) entered the fray with an all-cash $30-per-share counter to the bid made by Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX). This week, Leo Miller broke down both offers and what investors should watch for.
Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX) is recovering from a sharp sell-off after the closure of its Grasberg mine. Miller explained the stock's rally and why a surge in copper prices, fueled by long-term tailwinds, is likely to keep FCX moving higher.
The flight from technology stocks has pushed several names sharply off their 52-week highs. Miller highlighted three tech stocks down 60% or more and explained why one of them offers the best chance for a recovery.
Articles by Nathan Reiff
Artificial intelligence continues to drive interest in robotics stocks. Nathan Reiff outlined the tailwinds behind the sector and identified three under-the-radar robotics stocks that may not be obscure for much longer.
Companies with strong cash flow are often able to reward investors with buybacks and dividends. This week, Reiff highlighted three of the best cash-flow stocks for investors seeking income alongside potential stock-price growth.
With the New Year approaching, many investors are thinking about resolutions and fresh starts. Reiff focused on three beaten-down stocks analysts believe could reverse course in 2026.
Articles by Dan Schmidt
It may feel like meme stocks are back as Upwork Inc. (NASDAQ: UPWK) has been one of 2025's strongest performers. Dan Schmidt analyzed the surge in UPWK stock and offered three reasons to be bullish and two reasons to be cautious heading into the new year.
Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson
Investors are often caught off guard when a stock diverges from its narrative. That appeared to be the case with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE: TSM), which fell sharply after its November revenue report. Jeffrey Neal Johnson explained why the price action was largely driven by high-speed algorithmic trading and how that could set up an opportunity for patient investors.
A similar dynamic appears at SuperMicro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), which dropped amid worries about slowing demand. Johnson argued the sell-off looks more like sector contagion than company-specific weakness and explained why SMCI stock still looks like a buying opportunity.
Another sharp decline hit ServiceNow Inc. (NYSE: NOW) after its $7 billion acquisition of Armis. Johnson argues the deal is a sign of strength rather than weakness and could create a rare buying opportunity in an elite software name: the rationale explained here.
Articles by Jordan Chussler
Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) has struggled to find a catalyst since its vaccine-driven surge in 2020–21. Jordan Chussler outlined the company's billion-dollar push into the crowded GLP-1 weight-loss market, explaining why there may be room for multiple winners and why PFE stock could be worth watching.
It's ironic that Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO)—once a poster child for the excesses of the dot-com era—is in the midst of a long-term recovery driven by AI. Chussler detailed how the company has reimagined and repositioned itself for a new generation of investors.
Chussler also highlighted two of tech's strongest performers in 2025, but explained why some analysts suggest tempering expectations for their 2026 outlook.
