Bitcoin ETF, Treasury Firms Might Have Stopped Buying — But How Much Have They Offloaded? cryptonews
BTC
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

The Bitcoin market structure is believed to have undergone a massive shift since the significant price downturn seen on October 10, 2025. While the premier cryptocurrency has been on something resembling a recovery path since the market bloodbath, some sectors believe that the bear season has already kicked off.

With BTC sitting beneath its opening price of 2025, it is becoming increasingly difficult to make a bullish case for the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Moreover, an interesting data point about a relevant class of Bitcoin investors has emerged, further adding credence to the beginning of a possible bear market. 

Are Bitcoin Treasury Firms Offloading Their Coins?
In a new post on X, CryptoQuant’s Head of Research, Julio Moreno, shared an on-chain insight to support the hypothesis that the Bitcoin bear market has started. This conclusion is based on the Balance Growth of an investor group known as the “dolphins.”

Dolphins refer to a group of crypto investors holding substantial amounts of a coin, placing them between small investors (shrimps) and the largest investors (whales). Specifically, Moreno described dolphins as wallet addresses with significant BTC holdings between 100 – 1,000 coins. 

According to the latest data from CryptoQuant, the growth in the Dolphins’ BTC holdings has slowed down in the past year and appears to be in a downward trend. Moreno believes that this negative change points to the emergence of a Bitcoin bear market.

Moreno revealed that these Dolphin addresses had increased year-over-year by roughly 965,000 BTC when the BTC price hit its current all-time high around $125,000. Now that the BTC price is nearly 30% below its record high, the Bitcoin Dolphins’ balance stands at around 694,000 coins.

Moreno wrote on X:

This address cohort includes ETFs and Treasury companies, which have also stopped buying.

More interestingly, the CryptoQuant Head of Research revealed that this investor group consists of ETF issuers and Treasury companies, which have stopped purchasing Bitcoin. According to data from SoSoValue, the US-based Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have posted net outflows in five out of the last six weeks.

Meanwhile, BTC and crypto treasury companies have struggled in the past few months, with retail investors losing tens of billions to the hype. While there have been rarely reports of crypto treasury sell-offs, this decline in these Dolphins’ holdings tells an entirely different story.

Bitcoin Price At A Glance
As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $89,151, reflecting an over 3% decline in the past 24 hours.

Forget Bitcoin, The Uber-Wealthy Are Now Rapidly Buying XRP: CEO cryptonews
BTC XRP
Jake Claver, CEO of Digital Ascension Group, says ultra-wealthy families are rapidly accumulating XRP, and he believes most XRP holders still don’t realize how rare their position is. In a video posted on X, Claver revealed that his firm has been in recent conversations with large family offices that are now making significant allocations into XRP. 

His comments arrive at a moment when XRP’s long-term narrative is witnessing increased interest due to ETFs, and they highlight a shift happening among investors who have always avoided cryptocurrencies altogether.

Wealthy Families Quietly Accumulating XRP
Claver explained that XRP ownership is currently extremely limited relative to the global population, noting that only around 8 million wallets exist on the XRPL. Half of those wallets contain fewer than 100 XRP, which makes existing holders far more uncommon than they may think. He contrasted this with Bitcoin’s widespread ownership, arguing that XRP is still early in its adoption curve.

He said the wealthy families showing interest are not looking for quick profits. According to him, they have already built their fortunes and instead see XRP as a form of insurance. According to his post, these families are buying crypto, not to get richer, but to protect the wealth they already have. 

He described their interest in cryptocurrencies as a hedge. These investors want something uncorrelated in their portfolios ahead of any potential shock in traditional markets.

Claver’s $10K Price Target And The Conditions He Outlined
When asked where he sees the price of XRP going, Claver stated that he believes the cryptocurrency could be trading at $10,000 by late 2026 or early 2027. He tied this prediction to how much ecosystem infrastructure becomes active on the XRPL over the next two years. 

He said the network would need substantial institutional-grade utilities, including XRP treasury systems, Evernorth’s launch, on-chain borrowing mechanisms, and new amendments to the XRP Ledger that will bring in additional compliance layers and smart-contract features.

His projection assumes that rising network volume will require higher liquidity levels and that price stability at four- and five-figure ranges will only be achievable if the ledger is handling large-scale financial flows. He also pointed to ETFs as a major factor in shaping supply and demand, noting that as ETF adoption grows, more XRP will be locked away in long-term institutional products. 

Speaking of ETFs, Spot XRP ETFs are now approaching $1 billion in total net assets and could cross that threshold within the next few days. Since their debut, these funds have taken in about $897.35 million worth of XRP from exchanges and OTC desks, and they have yet to record a single day of outflows. 

This growing demand ties directly into a quiet change happening among institutions, a trend Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently highlighted. He explained that Ripple is seeing notable activity through Ripple Prime, where long-watching institutions that once stayed out due to regulatory uncertainty or simple risk aversion are finally beginning to step in.

1 Top Cryptocurrency to Buy Before It Soars 180%, According to Tom Lee of Fundstrat cryptonews
ETH
During the summer, Ethereum (ETH +0.76%) looked like an easy, slam-dunk cryptocurrency investment. After doubling in price within the span of just weeks, Ethereum soared to a new all-time high of $4,954 in August.

Since then, of course, Ethereum has fallen back to earth. It's now trading for just $3,200. But that may only be a temporary stop on a new trajectory higher. According to Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat, Ethereum could hit a price of $9,000 in 2026. So is he right?

Reasons to be optimistic about Ethereum
For nearly a decade, Ethereum has been a star performer in the crypto market. Since launching in July 2015, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency is up more than 100,000%. The only major cryptocurrency that has outperformed Ethereum over the past decade is Bitcoin (BTC +0.23%).

So it's perhaps no surprise that Lee is bullish on the future prospects of Ethereum. As he sees it, there are two very good reasons why Ethereum could be on the path to $9,000 in 2026.

One is Ethereum's very robust global developer base. This is what drives usage and activity. The other is what Lee refers to as "technical resilience," or the ability to maintain 100% uptime performance for its core blockchain.

Image source: Getty Images.

Together, these factors have made Ethereum a true best-in-class Layer-1 blockchain. It has become the building block for nearly everything that happens in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space. That is especially true for the burgeoning area of decentralized finance (DeFi), where Ethereum remains a true behemoth. Currently, Ethereum accounts for nearly two-thirds of all total value locked (TVL) in the DeFi world.

Institutional adoption and asset tokenization
But that may be just the beginning. As Lee sees it, the next wave of growth for Ethereum will be powered by institutional adoption. This refers to Wall Street banks, financial institutions, and fintech companies embracing the Ethereum blockchain platform for their own projects. As Lee has noted in the past, Ethereum is now the preferred blockchain of Wall Street, standing head and shoulders above the competition.

$

3046.60

So what comes next? Lee thinks it will be real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, or the transformation of real-world assets (such as stocks and bonds) into digital assets that can be traded, stored, and used on the blockchain. In theory, tokenization will unlock all sorts of efficiency and liquidity gains, such that the biggest players on Wall Street will be forced to embrace Ethereum as the easiest on-ramp to the new world of blockchain finance.

Indeed, some big names have already embraced asset tokenization. BlackRock has already declared asset tokenization one of the next major trends on Wall Street. And this summer, Robinhood Markets showcased new tokenized equities that make it possible for foreign investors to gain 24/7 access to the U.S. equity market.

Reasons to be skeptical about Ethereum
So far, so good, right? A best-in-class blockchain giant appears to be on the path to mainstream acceptance on Wall Street. Moreover, it has a brand-new trillion-dollar financial trend to prop up its valuation. That's plenty of reason to be excited about Ethereum's future growth prospects.

But here's the thing: Tom Lee is also the chairman of Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR 6.22%), an Ethereum treasury company. The mission of this company is simple: Buy and hold as much Ethereum as possible. The higher the price of Ethereum goes, the better it is for Bitmine Immersion Technologies.

Therefore, investors may want to discount any overly optimistic price targets for Ethereum. In his role as chairman of Bitmine, Lee has a clear incentive to promote the future prospects of the cryptocurrency that his company holds.

Moreover, as Lee acknowledged in a recent interview, Ethereum might actually slip all the way to $2,500 before making its ascent to the $9,000 price level. After all, there's no immutable law of crypto that says Ethereum must skyrocket straight up in price. As with all cryptocurrencies, there's likely to be significant volatility along the way.

Before investing in Ethereum, you should be comfortable with some of this inherent volatility. Remember: Ethereum fell all the way from $5,000 to $3,000 within the span of just three months. While this might be the result of market participants trying to find the right price for Ethereum, it might also be a warning of potential weakness within the Ethereum blockchain ecosystem.

Can Ethereum reach $9,000 by 2026? Right now, online prediction markets are only giving Ethereum a 3% chance of reclaiming the $5,000 price level this year, and only a 1% chance of making it to $9,000. So, until something changes dramatically over the next 12 months, you might want to keep your expectations in check.

Brace For A Bitcoin Price Crash: How Low Does The Next Major Support Level Lie? cryptonews
BTC
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

A crypto analyst has predicted another devastating Bitcoin price crash that could see the leading cryptocurrency slide back below $85,000. With its weak performance over the past few months and price action showing signs of exhaustion, the analyst has predicted that the next major support level lies more than 33% below all-time highs. 

Analyst Breaks Down Chart Signaling Bitcoin Price Crash 
TradingView crypto expert ‘EliteGoldAnalysis’ has released a fresh chart study on Bitcoin’s next selling move, warning that the cryptocurrency’s downtrend may not be over yet. The analyst’s breakdown highlights a key support level he believes Bitcoin could crash to if its current downward momentum persists. 

EliteGoldAnalysis outlines a price structure on the chart that begins with a weak high, a technical condition that often reflects a liquidity grab before a reversal. The appearance of a weak high near the top of Bitcoin’s most recent rally indicates that buyers may have been swept out before the momentum fully shifted. This pattern is accompanied by a steadily forming lower high, hinting at a developing bearish structure. 

From his perspective, the analyst explains that a short bias becomes relevant only after a clear confirmation of a bearish trend. Based on the Bitcoin price chart, such confirmation could include a break of minor support beneath the weak high, followed by a retest of that level. EliteGoldAnalysis also noted that a bearish rejection through wick actions or a strong bearish close would strengthen the case for a temporary Bitcoin price crash. 

While the analyst’s breakdown is just an interpretation of the chart rather than a trading call, Bitcoin’s price structure still hints at a possible retracement amid strengthening sell-side pressure. 

How Low Bitcoin Price Could Decline 
In his TradingView chart, EliteGoldAnalysis outlined critical zones that could dictate Bitcoin’s next bearish moves. The first region to watch is the potential “target level” marked in the purple zone above $85,000. The analyst views this level as a demand or imbalance area. Should Bitcoin reach and hold this target, it may act as the first checkpoint before the market decides whether to correct downwards or push higher. 

Just beneath the $85,000 region lies a “strong support level” highlighted in blue at $84,000 on the chart. EliteGoldAnalysis predicts that Bitcoin could decline to as low as this $84,000 support area. The analyst suggests that this level is the final retracement target, potentially representing a significant liquidity pool that could attract buyers if the price declines. 

A decisive drop toward this level would reflect a more than 6% decline from current levels above $89,000. Such a move would also mark the completion of the downside move implied by the chart structure. Over the past 24 hours, the price of Bitcoin has fallen roughly 3%, meaning a crash to $84,000 would further prolong the ongoing downtrend.

Bitcoin Structure Tightens: One Break Above This Zone Could Ignite A Run To $107,000 cryptonews
BTC
Bitcoin finds itself at a critical crossroads, hovering between two major price zones that could define its next big move. Buyers and sellers are locked in a tight battle, and the market now waits for a decisive break. A push above key resistance could open the door to $107,000, while weakness at support risks a deeper slide toward $71,000.

Bounce Scenario: A Return Toward The Pink Box And Descending Trendline
Kamile Uray, in her latest update on Bitcoin, noted that BTC failed to hold above the $90,720 level on the hourly chart, triggering the expected decline. The first immediate support now sits at $87,644, while the deeper support range lies between $83,822 and $82,477. If buyers defend this zone successfully, Bitcoin could attempt another climb toward the pink box region and retest the descending trendline overhead.

Uray explained that a sustained move above the pink box resistance on the daily timeframe would open the door for Bitcoin to challenge the descending blue trendline. A confirmed breakout from this area could strengthen bullish momentum, pushing the price toward the next major resistance levels at $98,200 and $107,500. A break above $107,500 alongside the descending trendline would serve as a strong signal that the broader uptrend is ready to continue.

However, she warned that a daily close below $82,477 would shift the market structure toward further weakness, placing Bitcoin at risk of revisiting lower levels. Even so, Uray highlighted one critical area of strength: the $74,496–$71,237 zone. This region represents the key breakout top from November 2024 and is considered a strong historical support. In this area, buyers may step in aggressively, potentially setting the stage for an upward reversal.

Bitcoin Price Rejection At $93,000–$95,000 Zone
According to Crypto Candy, Bitcoin’s latest price action has been unfolding precisely in line with expectations. After facing rejection in the $93,000–$95,000 resistance zone, BTC dipped sharply and nearly touched the anticipated support range at $86,000–$87,500. This move reflects the broader market’s reaction to heavy selling pressure near the upper resistance band.

Crypto Candy emphasized that the $86,000–$87,500 zone now serves as a crucial pivot area. If buyers successfully defend this support and the price stabilizes above it, Bitcoin could once again revisit the $93,000–$95,000 range, or even push beyond it.

Such a rebound would signal renewed bullish momentum and set the stage for another attempt at breaking higher resistance levels. However, the analyst also warned that failure to hold the $86,000–$87,500 support could trigger deeper downside movement. If the level gives way, Bitcoin may slide to lower price zones in the coming days as bearish pressure strengthens.

Rising Bitcoin ‘liveliness' indicator suggests bull market may continue: analysts cryptonews
BTC
2 minutes ago

Bitcoin’s liveliness indicator reached new peaks, suggesting strong demand despite lower prices and signaling the bull market cycle may not be over yet.

A technical indicator called liveliness is rising, which historically signals bull run activity and could mean that this market cycle is not over yet, say analysts.

“Liveliness continues to march higher this cycle despite lower prices, indicating a floor of demand for spot Bitcoin that is not reflected in price action,” said technical analyst “TXMC” on Sunday.

The analyst explained that the “elegant metric,” which is like the long-term moving average for onchain activity, is a running sum of all lifetime spending compared to holding activity onchain. 

“It rises when coins are net transacting and falls when they’re being held, scaling by the age of those coins,” they added.

“Liveliness usually rises in bull runs as supply changes hands at higher prices, indicating a flow of newly invested capital.”Fellow analyst James Check observed that liveliness has been range-bound since the 2017 peak, up until now.

Liveliness magnitude much larger this cycleCheck compared current liveliness to the 2017 cycle, which was the first “epic parabola with widespread participation.” 

The new liveliness peaks show how extreme the return of old dormant coins is this cycle, he said, adding that the magnitude of value is now much higher.

The intriguing part is, unlike 2017, where transactions were in the hundreds to thousands of dollars changing hands, this cycle, it is in the several to tens of billions of dollars, stated Check. 

“We have seen an extraordinary volume of coin days destroyed, and I am of the view we have just watched one of the greatest capital rotations and changing of the guard in Bitcoin history.”Bitcoin price starts to consolidate Bitcoin hasn’t moved much over the past 24 hours but briefly dipped below $89,000 in early Sunday trading. It had recovered to around $89,500 at the time of writing, where it was this time yesterday.

“Anything between $86,000 and $92,000 is pretty much noise. Not much will happen for BTC,” opined analyst and MN Fund founder Michaël van de Poppe on Saturday. 

If $92,000 gets tested, “I think we’ll break it, but if not, brace yourself for a test at the low $80,000 range for some sort of double-bottom pattern,” he added. 

“I don’t think we’re far off bottoming for Bitcoin, and that should result in a strong rally at the end of the year, going into Q1.”Magazine: Indian investors look beyond Bitcoin, Japan to soften crypto tax: Asia Express

1 Unstoppable Stock to Buy Before It Joins Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, and Alphabet in the $3 Trillion Club stocknewsapi
AMZN
Amazon isn't far from joining the $3 trillion club.

The $3 trillion valuation club is an exclusive group that only a handful of companies have ever joined. Currently, all four companies that have crossed this threshold are still in the club, with Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, and Microsoft all valued at $3 trillion or greater. And there's another company knocking on the door: Amazon (AMZN +0.16%).

Amazon currently has a market cap of $2.5 trillion, so it's only a stone's throw away from entering the $3 trillion club. However, I think that's just the beginning for the company since it has a lot going for it right now.

Amazon isn't the company you think it is
The first thing that comes to mind when you hear the name "Amazon" is its e-commerce platform, which sells nearly every product available. That's its most forward-facing segment to the consumer and what allowed it to grow from an upstart to the $2.5 trillion behemoth it is today, but it's not what I'm most excited about as an investor.

Two of Amazon's most important segments are ones that few people interact with on a daily basis. Its most important segments are the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud computing business and its advertising division. Both of these are the company's fastest-growing segments, which align with importance and performance.

AWS is capitalizing on two major tailwinds in cloud computing: artificial intelligence and a general migration to the cloud. Companies are starting to move away from on-premise computing equipment because it shifts the system maintenance to a third party and requires fewer equipment purchases.

AI is obviously huge in the broader market right now, and cloud computing providers play a significant role in delivering AI computing power to non-AI hyperscalers. Few companies have the resources to build large data centers to drive their AI aspirations, so they turn to a cloud provider like AWS to fulfill those needs. This is a tailwind that won't decrease anytime soon, and it's starting to show up in AWS' results.

During the third quarter, AWS grew revenue 20% year over year, the best in multiple quarters. The cloud provider is a crucial part of Amazon's profitability, too, as it accounted for 66% of total operating income during the third quarter. With a strong 35% operating margin, AWS' continued success will be a key part of driving Amazon toward a $3 trillion market cap.

Advertising isn't as large a component as AWS, but it's Amazon's fastest-growing segment, with revenue rising 24% year-over-year in the third quarter. Management doesn't break advertising out into its own business unit, but we know from other companies, such as Meta Platforms or Alphabet, that advertising profit margins are quite high.

This likely places advertising services in AWS-like operating margin ranges, showcasing its importance to Amazon's overall profitability picture.

The ad market is currently strong, and Amazon is expanding its dominance in this space. It will likely continue to have outsize growth compared to the rest of the business (besides AWS) and will lead the company to a $3 trillion market cap.

But how soon will it get there?

Amazon is only a year away from joining the club
With Amazon needing about 20% growth to join the $3 trillion club, it may not take that long to get there. Its growth rate has been accelerating in recent quarters, and if it keeps its spending under control to boost profits, it could easily reach the $3 trillion threshold by the end of next year.

AMZN Revenue (Quarterly YoY Growth); data by YCharts. YoY = year over year.

Amazon is a strong pick for 2026, and I think it could reach the $3 trillion club by next year. If it fails to do so by 2026, I think it's likely to achieve it by 2027, as long as nothing drastic happens to the company or the market.

Up 59%, Should You Buy ASML Right Now? stocknewsapi
ASML
The manufacturer is trading at an all-time high.

This has been a great second half of the year for ASML (ASML 0.97%). The Dutch company plays a critical role in the production of high-end semiconductors, but the stock only rose 15% in the first six months of the year.

However, the third and fourth quarters have been significantly different for ASML, which has flourished recently and is now up a solid 59% on the year. It's outpacing the S&P 500, as well as some of the most popular semiconductor stocks, such as Nvidia, Broadcom, and Taiwan Semiconductor.

ASML's run helped propel it to a market capitalization of $428 billion and a position in the Top 25 of the world's largest publicly traded companies. Now trading around an all-time high, can ASML sustain this rally heading into 2026, or is this a case of a company getting a little too hot and ripe for a pullback?

I think the answer is clear, which is why I currently love ASML stock.

Image source: ASML.

About ASML stock
If you are looking for companies with a wide competitive moat, then ASML is the kind of stock you're looking for. The company builds machines that create minuscule circuits and components used in semiconductor chips. This is important because there's only so much space on a chip; the smaller the components, the more can be packed onto a chip to make it more powerful.

Most companies use deep ultraviolet (DUV) technology to manufacture chips and advanced processors, using dozens of components and multiple lenses to focus precisely positioned light and craft chip components. However, ASML's advanced extreme ultraviolet (EUV) system uses mirrors instead of lenses, enabling it to complete designs that aren't possible for DUV machines.

ASML is the only company manufacturing and selling EUV machines. This gives it a distinct advantage, as EUV systems use a shorter wavelength of light and therefore enable the printing of smaller features.

ASML sells both EUV and DUV systems -- the DUV machines are designed for high-volume manufacturing of advanced logic and memory chips, which don't necessarily require the highest resolution offered by EUV machines. The company reported selling 66 new lithography systems and six used systems in the third quarter.

Revenue for the quarter was 7.51 billion euros ($8.73 billion), which was down 2.2% from a year ago. Net bookings were 5.4 billion euros, down from 5.54 billion euros a year ago.

However, the company has a strong profit margin, with gross profit of 3.88 billion euros, marking a 51.6% margin. Net income of 2.12 billion euros resulted in bottom-line earnings of 5.49 euros per share.

Investors who are looking for fast earnings growth, as you'd see at Nvidia and TSMC, may perhaps be disappointed with ASML's report. However, I'm impressed with the profit margin of ASML, as well as the company's massive competitive moat. ASML issued guidance for its fourth-quarter sales of between 9.2 billion euros and 9.8 billion euros, with a margin of between 51% and 53%. For the full year, the company anticipates total net sales to be roughly 15% better than in 2024.

What do analysts say about ASML stock?
ASML receives considerable attention from analysts, with the majority of them being bullish on the stock. JPMorgan just raised its price target on the stock, from $1,175 to $1,275, which suggests potential upside of 15%. Analysts at JPMorgan said that the semiconductor capital equipment group is the most attractive segment in the sector right now, and ASML is the top pick in that segment.

Morgan Stanley analyst Lee Simpson also raised his price target on ASML, from $1,132 to $1,161, on Nov. 26. Of the 42 analysts covering ASML stock on MarketWatch, only one suggests selling ASML stock.

I think that ASML is a no-brainer stock to buy right now. With its stock price now more than $1,100 per share following its dramatic move higher, I also consider it an ideal stock-split candidate as we head into 2026. ASML hasn't conducted a forward stock split since 2000, when it completed a 3-for-1 split. Should ASML announce a stock split in 2026, I believe the stock will reach new highs.

The Best Stocks to Buy With $1,000 Right Now stocknewsapi
AMD CRCL FLR
It's time to start thinking about some less-obvious names.

Got some extra cash you're ready to put to work for a while in the hopes of making it grow? As tempting as some of the market's most popular stocks may be at this time, you might be better served by steering clear of those crowded trades for now and instead diving into something a bit off the beaten path.

To this end, here's a closer look at three promising prospects for almost any investor's portfolio.

Image source: Getty Images.

1. Fluor
Lots of major construction projects have been on hold since the COVID-19 pandemic first took hold. While initially stymied by the logistical challenges stemming from the contagion, more recently, rising costs and a lethargic economy are the culprit.

Some projects simply can't be postponed indefinitely -- the need is just too great. The key is being patient, and being ready for when the opportunity surfaces. For instance, although it was signed all the way back in 2021, much of the funding called for by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) is just now being spent. The U.S. Department of Transportation reports that as of August only about 40% its portion of the bill's funding has been dished out, while nearly one-fourth of it hasn't even yet been committed to any particular infrastructure project.

That's great news for construction company Fluor (FLR 3.28%), which builds mega-projects like roads, maritime ports, and pharmaceutical factories. It can even build nuclear power plants, which are expected to grow in number just to meet the soaring need for energy that can't be affordably or feasibly met soon enough any other way.

And lots of business is already lined up, even if it's not yet turned into revenue. After winning $3.3 billion worth of new contracts during the three-month stretch ending in September, Fluor's backlog currently stands at $28.2 billion. For comparison, last quarter's top line was $3.4 billion. The company just needs the green light to commence these projects.

It will never be a high-growth stock, to be clear -- the heavy construction business is just too big and bogged down by logistical hurdles. This stock's underperformance since late last year, however, understates its long-term potential, beginning with the revenue and profit turnaround expected for next year.

2. Advanced Micro Devices
To date, Nvidia has been the centerpiece of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. And understandably so. Its technology serves as the "brains" for the vast majority of AI data centers.

As expected, competition is finally creeping in. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD +0.89%) is one of those competitors worth a closer look.

It actually makes a lot of sense. Although conventional computer processors made by the likes of Intel are capable of handling artificial intelligence workloads, Nvidia's graphic cards technology is far better suited for the task simply because these processors have more computing capacity. Although AMD manufactures computer processors, it also makes graphics cards; converting this know-how into AI tech isn't exactly a big leap.

And it's starting to matter. Despite its slow foray into the business, Advanced Micro Devices is now a technology supplier for powerhouse names like Oracle, OpenAI, and cloud infrastructure outfit Vultr, just to name a few.

Things are just starting to heat up, however. As CEO Lisa Su commented at an investor event held last month, "AMD is entering a new era of growth fueled by our leadership technology roadmaps and accelerating AI momentum." In practical, tangible terms, that means annualized top-line growth of more than 35% for the next three to five years, led by graphics processors purpose-built for heavy-duty artificial intelligence tasks.

AMD isn't apt to dethrone Nvidia anytime soon, if ever. It doesn't necessarily need to, however, to reward shareholders. As TD Cowen analyst Joshua Buchalter recently noted, "investors should own the stock ahead of the [new product launch] ramp" because "AI compute spending will prove durable and AMD has cemented itself as a winner."

3. Circle Internet Group
Finally, add Circle Internet Group (CRCL 2.10%) to your list of best stocks to buy if you've got a little bit of long-term capital (say $1,000) to work with.

It's not a household name. There's a good chance you've never even heard of it, in fact. Its relatively small market cap of around $20 billion just doesn't turn many heads.

Give it time, though. What Circle brings to the table is undeniably marketable.

In simplest terms, this company solves one of cryptocurrency's biggest problems. That's difficulty in spending these digital dollars without first converting them back into actual fiat currency (which is a logistical challenge in and of itself).

Circle Internet Group offers payment-acceptance tech to banks and merchants, but also provides digital wallets that are easy for consumers to use. Although not a perfect comparison, it wouldn't be wrong to compare Circle's solutions to those of well-known payment middleman PayPal, just with cryptocurrency instead of government-issued money. The company makes money by earning interest on the digital currency it's holding on behalf of consumers, merchants, and financial institutions. Other profit centers could be added in the future, of course.

Today's Change

(

As it stands right now, Circle only serves as an intermediary for stablecoins USD Coin (USDC +0.00%) and Euro Coin (EURC +0.00%). But that may be all it ever needs to handle. These two cryptocurrencies are both doing a pretty good job of matching the value of their underlying fiat currency, attracting users looking for a more flexible option than conventional dollars or euros. As of Q3, there was nearly $74 billion worth of USDC in circulation, up 108% from year-ago levels. Circle's revenue jumped 66% to $740 million as a result.

There's still risk here to be sure. But, not as much as the stock's sell-off from June's peak would suggest. Much of that weakness is just the typical pullback from a post-IPO surge, followed by falling Bitcoin prices that have nothing to do with Circle's actual business.

SK Chairman Chey Tae-won emphasizes: "Technological competitiveness must remain unwavering in challenging times"
Commits to driving new customer value and leading global AI market growth as a "Full-Stack AI Memory Creator"
, /PRNewswire/ -- SK hynix Inc. (or "the company", www.skhynix.com) announced today that it has been named the winner of the Best Financially Managed Semiconductor Company Award (Achieving Greater than $1 Billion in Annual Sales)[1] and the Outstanding Asia-Pacific Semiconductor Company Award[2] at the Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA)[3] Awards 2025, held on December 4 PST in Santa Clara, California.

Justin Kim, President & Head of AI Infra at SK hynix (second from left), and Sungsoo Ryu, President of SK hynix America (third from left), pose for a photo with event officials at the GSA Awards 2025.

[1]The Best Financially Managed Semiconductor Company Award: A category recognizing public semiconductor companies based on financial soundness and operational efficiency. Awards are presented in two categories — annual sales over $1 billion and annual sales under $1 billion — and are considered among the most authoritative honors in the global semiconductor industry.

[2]Outstanding Asia-Pacific Semiconductor Company Award: A special category recognizing semiconductor companies headquartered in the Asia-Pacific region based on comprehensive evaluations including product excellence, business vision, leadership, and market success.

[3]GSA(Global Semiconductor Alliance): A global CEO-level semiconductor organization serving as a hub for technological information sharing across more than 25 countries and over 250 corporate members.

The GSA Awards, organized annually since 1996, are regarded as the most prestigious honors in the global semiconductor sector, recognizing outstanding performance in leadership, financial results and industry reputation. SK hynix secured its second win in the financial management category following 2017, and its first recognition as the top Asia-Pacific semiconductor company. The dual achievement reinforces the company's reputation as a leading global technology innovator.

While the semiconductor industry faced a severe downturn just two years ago, the company has been the fastest to rebound thanks to its advanced AI memory technologies including HBM. This performance has resulted in global recognition for its operational excellence and financial execution. SK hynix plans to continue building sustainable growth with its dominant leadership in the AI memory market.

The awards reflect the company's proactive delivery of groundbreaking HBM solutions and its steadfast commitment to customer-centric performance in surging global AI demand. SK Chairman Chey Tae-won has consistently emphasized that securing technological competitiveness must remain unwavering, especially during challenging times. This long-term focus on technology investment and global cooperation network has contributed to the company's improved performance and reinforced financial health.

Driven by this strategy, SK hynix has recorded historic performance throughout 2025. For the first three quarters, the company reported revenue of 64 trillion won and operating profit of 28 trillion won in total, positioning it well to surpass its previous full-year earnings record set in 2024 (66 trillion won in revenue and 23 trillion won in operating profit).

Financial health has also significantly strengthened. As of the end of the third quarter, cash and cash equivalents reached 27.9 trillion won, up 10.9 trillion won quarter-over-quarter, while interest bearing debt decreased to 24.1 trillion won— successfully transitioning into a net cash position of approximately 4 trillion won.

To secure long-term leadership in AI memory, SK hynix is accelerating major investments. The Cheongju M15X fab, which opened its cleanroom earlier than planned in October, is on track to begin HBM mass production in the first half of next year. Construction of the first fab in the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster, launched in February, is also progressing ahead of schedule.

With its recent financial achievements and continued expansion, SK hynix is expected to further solidify its AI memory leadership going forward.

SK hynix was represented at the ceremony by Justin Kim, President & Head of AI Infra at SK hynix, and Sungsoo Ryu, President of SK hynix America. "It is a great honor to receive this award." Kim said, "We will continue to lead the market and create new value for customers as a Full-Stack AI Memory Creator, driving growth across the global AI ecosystem."

1 Super Semiconductor Stock to Buy Hand Over Fist in 2026, According to Wall Street stocknewsapi
TSM
Taiwan Semiconductor benefits from increased artificial intelligence (AI) spending across the board.

Looking at Wall Street analysts' one-year price targets can serve as a source of ideas for investors. While their analysis shouldn't be the end-all for investors, it serves as a great starting point.

One company that looks like it has great potential from the analyst community is Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM +0.51%). They have an average one-year price target on its stock of $342, according to Yahoo! Finance.

That represents around 20% upside from today's levels, which would be an excellent one-year return for TSMC. The long-term market average performance is about 10%, so this would essentially outperform the stock market by double.

This makes it a stock investors should be buying hand over fist entering 2026, but are the analysts right on this one?

TSMC is a critical part of the AI buildout
While companies like Advanced Micro Devices or Nvidia may get most of the attention when it comes to providing artificial intelligence (AI) computing units that go into data centers, Taiwan Semiconductor should also be a part of the discourse. It's one of a handful of semiconductor foundries that provide high-tech computing chips necessary for advanced computing units to run, and is the largest by revenue of its peers.

Few companies are as critical in the AI buildout as Taiwan Semiconductor, a company that will thrive as long as there is increased AI spending. With the AI hyperscalers all informing investors that 2026 will be a year of record-breaking capital expenditures after setting a previous record in 2025, this part of the TSMC investing thesis is alive and well.

$

294.42

Another reason why Taiwan Semiconductor has thrived as a foundry is its commitment to continuous innovation. With its new 2-nanometer chip node entering production, it's keeping that commitment.

The 2nm chips offer a massive benefit over previous-generation 3nm chips: When configured to run at the same speed, 2nm chips consume 25% to 30% less power than 3nm chips. That's a big deal for any company involved in AI, as energy availability is starting to become a massive bottleneck. If TSMC can reduce grid demand by 25% to 30%, it will be widely implemented in future AI buildouts.

TSMC is putting up impressive growth figures
While the investment story in TSMC is rock solid, so are its finances. During Q3, TSMC's revenue rose at a 41% pace in U.S. dollars. That showcases massive growth and lets investors know that the AI competition is alive and well. This strength is expected to continue, as demand for AI computing units is slated to rise dramatically over the next few years.

Nvidia projects that global data center capital expenditures will reach $3 trillion to $4 trillion by 2030. AMD projects that its data center division will grow at a 60% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2030, while its overall business rises at about a 35% rate. Those are huge growth projections, and TSMC will be the one providing chips to fuel that growth. This makes TSMC not only a smart buy for 2026, but also for the next five years.

As a final cherry on top, Taiwan Semiconductor's stock isn't all that expensive, especially when compared to some of the other stocks involved in the AI sector of the market.

TSM PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts

At 28 times forward earnings, TSMC stock isn't cheap, but it isn't as expensive as its peers (AMD and Nvidia trade for 55 and 38 times forward earnings, respectively). A lower premium makes TSMC a smart buy in this sector, as it's slated to benefit from increased AI spending across the board.

I think Wall Street analysts have the direction of TSMC's stock correct, making it a great stock to buy hand over fist entering the new year.

Down 10%, Should You Buy the Dip on Vertex Pharmaceuticals? stocknewsapi
VRTX
The stock has fallen from a peak back in April.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX 0.45%) has grown revenue and profit into the billions of dollars thanks to its expertise in the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF). The company has developed a portfolio of drugs that has transformed the way the disease is treated -- and that's made Vertex the No. 1 player in the industry.

In recent years, the biotech has expanded into other treatment areas, even scoring regulatory approval for a gene editing therapy for blood disorders and a pain management drug. All of this has made Vertex a great stock to hold over time -- for example, it's climbed more than 40% over the past three years.

If you haven't yet gotten in on this growth story or aim to add to your current position, you may be on the lookout for buying opportunities. Now, with Vertex down 10% from a peak back in April, is it time to invest? Let's find out.

Image source: Getty Images.

Vertex's key growth driver
When looking at Vertex, it's important to consider its CF business as this has been the biotech's key growth driver. Vertex has developed CFTR modulators -- their role is to correct the faulty protein made by the CFTR gene. In most cases, the protein doesn't take the right shape; in others, the protein isn't even produced. This protein is needed to usher water and chloride in and out of cells, but when it's unable to do so, thick mucus builds up -- resulting in the symptoms of CF.

What makes the problem truly complex is that more than 2,000 mutations of the gene may result in this disease. But Vertex has tackled that, and its CFTR modulators can treat almost 95% of CF patients.

So far, the company's commercialized drugs have delivered billions of dollars in revenue. For example, in the latest quarter, Vertex's revenue soared 11% to more than $3 billion -- that's with net income of $1.1 billion on a GAAP basis. And the company predicts as much as $12 billion in revenue for the full year.

Casgevy's progress
Casgevy, the blood disorders treatment, requires time to deliver growth since the therapy involves several steps that take months to complete -- so, even though the product gained approval two years ago, we're just now starting to see the revenue potential. Vertex says Casgevy is on track to reach more than $100 million in revenue for the full year 2025 and significant growth next year.

Journavx, the non-opioid treatment for moderate-to-severe acute pain, looks promising too. Vertex said more than 300,000 prescriptions have been filled for the drug from March, when it became available, through mid-October, and the company continues to study it for additional pain indications. "We're in the early days of creating another multibillion-dollar franchise," chief operating officer Stuart Arbuckle said during the recent earnings call.

Meanwhile, Vertex's CF business continues to represent a huge growth driver for the company, with intellectual property protecting its innovations through the late part of the next decade. Vertex now is studying a candidate in phase 1/2 trials that may address the remaining 5% of CF patients who can't be helped by its current portfolio. And the company recently spoke of another candidate, VX-828, a next-generation CFTR corrector -- Vertex said it was the most efficacious candidate it's ever seen in vitro, and now it's brought the candidate into clinical studies.

Made in the U.S.A.
All of this is very positive, and another important point to keep in mind is that most of Vertex's CF manufacturing is done in the U.S., so the company isn't heavily vulnerable to any potential import tariffs.

So, what are the risks involved in investing in this player? The main risk, and this is something that applies to all biotech and pharma companies, is the possibility of disappointment or failure during clinical trials. And the other risk is the commercial performance of a particular drug once launched. Vertex must put significant investment and effort into rolling out a drug like Journavx to convince doctors and hospitals that it's the best option for their patients. This, too, is a challenge that other drugmakers face.

If you can accept those risks, though, Vertex makes a fantastic biotech stock to buy -- for its dominance in CF that should support ongoing growth as well as for its growth potential in other businesses, like pain management. And now, on the dip, trading for 24x forward earnings estimates, Vertex looks like a bargain.

ROSEN, A LEADING INVESTOR RIGHTS LAW FIRM, Encourages Stride, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – LRN stocknewsapi
LRN
NEW YORK, Dec. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Stride, Inc. (NYSE: LRN) between October 22, 2024 and October 28, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important January 12, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Stride securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Stride class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=30689 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 12, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants made misleading statements and omissions regarding Stride’s products and services to public and private schools, school district, and charter boards. Throughout the Class Period, Stride represented to investors that “[t]hese products and services, spanning curriculum, systems, instruction, and support services are designed to help learners of all ages reach their full potential through inspired teaching and personalized learning.” Unbeknownst to investors, Stride was inflating enrollment numbers, cutting staff costs beyond required statutory limits, ignoring compliance requirements, and losing existing and potential enrollments. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Stride class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=30689 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

What Is One of the Best Tech Stocks to Hold for the Next 10 Years? stocknewsapi
NVDA
Sticking with this winner should pay off for investors.

Nvidia (NVDA 0.56%) has been one of the top-performing tech stocks in recent years. The shares have increased by 22,000% over the last 10 years, 1,230% in the previous five years, and 30% in the last 12 months, outpacing the Nasdaq Composite's 20% one-year return.

While there is increasing competition in the market for artificial intelligence (AI) chips, Nvidia continues to demonstrate leadership in delivering market-beating returns for investors in this bull market.

Why Nvidia remains a compelling investment
There has been considerable media attention on advances in custom AI chips, such as Google's Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), and how these might negatively impact Nvidia's sales. However, one reason Nvidia is likely to continue dominating the market for data center chips is that it provides much more than just a chip.

Nvidia offers a full technology stack of chips, software, and networking components to build AI data centers. Nvidia's GB300 Blackwell graphics processing units (GPUs) remain the most in-demand AI chip as we enter 2026. Management stated on its recent quarterly earnings call that compute capacity in cloud data centers using Nvidia chips is fully utilized, while demand for more chips remains above expectations.

With the stock continuing to trade at a reasonable forward (one-year) price-to-earnings ratio of 24, Nvidia remains one of the best growth stocks to buy right now. Analysts expect its earnings per share to compound at an annual rate of 37% over the next several years.

Eli Lilly's Stock Drops as It Slashes the Price of Zepbound: Time to Buy the Dip? stocknewsapi
LLY
This is no reason to panic.

Eli Lilly (LLY 0.41%) has been firing on all cylinders over the past two years and recently became the first healthcare company to hit $1 trillion in market value. The drugmaker owes much of that performance to tirzepatide, a medicine marketed as Zepbound for weight loss. Sales of this drug have been growing incredibly rapidly, enabling Eli Lilly to post excellent financial results.

However, the drugmaker recently announced that it was cutting the price of Zepbound, and the stock dropped as a result. Should investors buy the dip? Or does this news make Eli Lilly's shares less attractive?

The rationale behind the move
On Dec. 1, Eli Lilly announced that it was decreasing the prices of Zepbound single-dose vials for out-of-pocket patients who have received valid prescriptions for the medicine. The cost will now range from $299 to $449 per month, compared to the previous range of $349 to $499. Eli Lilly will offer the drug at these prices through its own online health platform.

Image source: Getty Images.

Notably, this follows successful efforts by the Trump Administration that inked deals with Eli Lilly to lower the price of Zepbound for eligible Medicare and Medicaid patients. There are likely several reasons the pharmaceutical giant made this decision.

First, price has been a significant deterrent for patients seeking access to this drug. Its efficacy has never been in question, but for those who don't have insurance coverage for Zepbound for weight loss, paying out of pocket is a challenge. By lowering the price of the therapy, Eli Lilly will expand its access. And the increased sales volume might somewhat offset the lower cost.

Second, Eli Lilly's only noteworthy competitor in the weight management space, Novo Nordisk, has also recently cut the price of its popular anti-obesity drug, Wegovy. Although Eli Lilly's Zepbound has been winning market share, cash-paying patients may gravitate more toward Wegovy if it costs them significantly less money. Eli Lilly is countering that possibility by lowering the price of Zepbound.

Is it time to buy the stock?
Some investors may be concerned that Zepbound's pace will slow, given the medicine's new lower prices for cash-paying patients. And considering Eli Lilly's shares aren't cheap -- the stock trades at 33.3 times forward earnings, versus an average of 18.2 for the healthcare industry -- any perceived threat to its most important growth driver is almost always going to sink its share price.

That said, not much has changed for Eli Lilly's long-term prospects. Consider the company's pipeline progress that could help it strengthen its hold in weight management. Eli Lilly is racing toward approval for orforglipron, an oral weight loss medicine that will further expand access to this category of drugs, since pills are cheaper and faster to manufacture.

Orforglipron isn't as effective as Zepbound, but it should attract a meaningful number of patients, especially those who don't have insurance coverage and prefer pills over needles. Eli Lilly is also inching closer to releasing results from pivotal clinical trials for another highly promising weight loss medicine: Retatrutide.

This therapy, which mimics the actions of three separate gut hormones (Zepbound does two), resulted in weight loss comparable to that seen with bariatric surgery in a phase 2 study. Retatrutide could be a good option for patients with a very high Body Mass Index who need aggressive weight loss and aren't eligible for (or prefer not to undergo) surgeries. Eli Lilly plans to share topline data from an ongoing trial for retatrutide before the year closes.

These and other candidates should help solidify Eli Lilly's leadership in this niche. In the meantime, sales and earnings will continue to grow at a steady pace. Eli Lilly posted revenue of $17.6 billion in the third quarter, up 54% compared to the year-ago period. Adjusted earnings per share soared 495% year over year to $7.02.

With results like these, Eli Lilly is well worth a hefty premium, especially when considering the company's significant pipeline progress in areas beyond diabetes and obesity, its investments in artificial intelligence, and its efforts to bolster its local manufacturing capacity to mitigate the impact of tariffs.

All these factors make Eli Lilly's shares very attractive despite the recent Zepbound-related developments.

ROSEN, A LEADING AND RANKED FIRM, Encourages Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action - INSP stocknewsapi
INSP
December 06, 2025 5:09 PM EST | Source: The Rosen Law Firm PA
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - December 6, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. (NYSE: INSP) between August 6, 2024 and August 4, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important January 5, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Inspire Medical common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Inspire Medical class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=21452 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 5, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants misrepresented and failed to disclose key facts about Inspire V, a sleep apnea device, including the actual market demand for the device and whether Inspire Medical had taken the steps necessary to launch it. Defendants issued a series of materially false and misleading statements that led investors to believe that demand for Inspire V was strong and that Inspire Medical had taken the necessary steps for a successful launch. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Should You Buy Navitas Semiconductor Stock Before 2026? stocknewsapi
NVTS
This is a promising stock to ride the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure boom, but it won't be a smooth ride for investors.

Navitas Semiconductor (NVTS +0.32%) could be about to experience incredible growth in the next five years. The stock has skyrocketed in 2025, rising 165% at the time of writing, as investor enthusiasm builds for its prospects of selling its power control chips to the booming artificial intelligence (AI) data center market. Still, it could be a bumpy ride, as the company is in the process of transforming its product strategy to capitalize on this opportunity, which is expected to take a few years.

Let's examine why investors may or may not be interested in buying the stock at this time.

Image source: Getty Images.

Navitas is positioning for long-term growth
The reason to buy the stock is straightforward: There is a massive shortage of power for AI data centers. This is prompting hyperscalers to seek efficient solutions to maximize the value of their infrastructure, and this could ultimately drive more sales of Navitas' power control technologies.

Navitas is shifting its semiconductor business from low-margin markets, such as chip products for consumer devices, to the AI opportunity, where its market-leading gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) products are expected to generate high-margin growth. As a result of this strategic move, management anticipates a substantial impact on its revenue and profits over the long term.

However, this transition won't happen overnight and will cause weakness to its near-term financials. Analysts forecast the company's revenue to decline by 45% in 2025 to $45 million, followed by a further 21% decrease in 2026 to $36 million.

It's short-term pain for long-term gain. The company is not expected to benefit from AI data center demand until 2027. Analysts currently expect the company's revenue to rebound to $66 million in 2027, before increasing by 96% to $130 million in 2028.

So is Navitas a buy?
Navitas is a promising stock to consider for its growth potential in the AI infrastructure boom. Still, it's only suitable for investors who have the patience to hold for several years. The revenue declines expected next year may cause volatility in the share price before things turn for the better.

What You Should Watch With RH Stock in 2026 stocknewsapi
RH
2025 has been a rough year for the home furnishings company. Can it recover in 2026?

RH (RH +0.70%), the high-end home furnishings company formerly known as Restoration Hardware, is no stranger to volatility.

The stock has been through several boom-and-bust cycles over the last decade, most recently struggling in the post-pandemic era as the housing market has slowed to a 30-year low, dealing a blow to much of the home improvement sector. Additionally, tariffs have been another thorn in RH's side, and as a result, the stock has had a forgettable 2025 as optimism at the end of 2024 around lower interest rates and a housing market rebound has given way to a less favorable reality.

As the chart below shows, the stock is down nearly 60% this year, with essentially all of those losses coming in the first quarter, partly in response to higher tariffs than expected under President Donald Trump.

RH data by YCharts

Despite the disappointing stock performance, RH has actually delivered solid growth so far this year with revenue up 8.4% in the second quarter, and profitability has spiked as the company controlled overhead costs while doing it.

So what's in store for RH in 2026? Let's take a look at a few key factors to watch.

Image source: RH.

All eyes on the housing market
RH has managed to deliver growth in spite of a weak housing market, but there's no question that the slowdown has weighed on the business. In fact, CEO Gary Friedman, who's never afraid to share his opinion, has been outspoken on a number of occasions, reminding investors that the company is operating in "the worst housing market in almost 50 years."

No one knows where the housing market will go in 2026, though the lack of rebound thus far seems to be telling, especially as consumers are struggling, inflation remains elevated, and home prices are out of reach for many younger buyers. However, interest rates are expected to come down in December and could fall further in 2026, which would likely bring down mortgage rates.

Still, at this point, it seems risky to bet on a housing recovery in the near term.

European expansion
The biggest initiative happening inside the company right now is its push into Europe. RH has opened several galleries across the pond and has more openings planned for 2026. Additionally, it expects sales at recently opened galleries, including RH Paris, which opened its doors on Sept. 5, to ramp up next year.

Among the openings planned for 2026 are marquee markets like London and Milan, and the company expects its push into Europe and the Middle East to double the size of the business in the next five to seven years.

Other factors to watch next year include tariffs, which continue to fluctuate, though the company has made significant strides in reducing its exposure to China.

After RH's sell-off in 2025, the stock is arguably undervalued. If the company can deliver and the macroeconomic environment cooperates, the stock could see a robust recovery in 2026.

― >3.75-fold mean induction of HbF at Week 12 in the 20 mg cohort among patients who reached the Week 12 visit as of November 11, 2025 data cutoff (n=6), compared to a 2.4-fold induction at Week 12 in the 12 mg cohort ―

― Consistent early evidence of pan-cellular HbF induction, improvements in markers of hemolysis and anemia, and encouraging trends in vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) reduction ―

― Pociredir continued to be generally well-tolerated, with no treatment-related serious adverse events (SAEs) ―

― Fulcrum to host investor event at 7:00 a.m. ET December 7, 2025 ―

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fulcrum Therapeutics, Inc.® (Fulcrum) (Nasdaq: FULC), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing small molecules to improve the lives of patients with genetically defined rare diseases, today reported positive initial results from the ongoing 20 mg dose cohort of the Phase 1b PIONEER trial of pociredir in sickle cell disease (SCD).

“We are highly encouraged by these initial data from the 20 mg cohort, which show clear evidence of a dose-response and build on the strong profile established with the 12 mg cohort,” said Alex C. Sapir, Fulcrum’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “At just six weeks of treatment, we have observed robust and clinically meaningful increases in fetal hemoglobin with the majority of patients achieving absolute HbF levels ≥20%. These results reinforce pociredir’s potential as a best-in-class, once-daily oral HbF inducer. Importantly, pociredir continues to demonstrate a favorable safety profile with no treatment-related SAEs reported.”

“These data reinforce that induction of fetal hemoglobin remains one of the most scientifically grounded strategies for treating SCD,” said Dr. Martin Steinberg, Professor of Medicine, Pediatrics, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine. “The clear dose-response observed with the 20 mg cohort, including robust early increases in HbF and evidence suggesting pan-cellular induction, is consistent with the mechanistic understanding that higher and more uniformly expressed HbF can inhibit polymerization of sickle hemoglobin, the root cause of SCD. These results represent an important step in evaluating the therapeutic potential of pociredir.”

Trial Design and Data Cut Overview

PIONEER is a Phase 1b open-label dose-escalation clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of pociredir, an oral once-daily HbF inducer, in adult patients with severe SCD. The 20 mg cohort of the Phase 1b PIONEER trial includes 12 adults with severe SCD. At the November 11, 2025 data cutoff, all 12 patients completed the Week 6 visit and are included in the Week 6 analyses. Six patients (50%) who enrolled earlier in the cohort reached the Week 12 visit at the time of data cutoff and are included in the Week 12 analyses. Week 6 results therefore reflect all 12 patients, while Week 12 results reflect the first 6 patients to complete the full treatment period. All 12 patients are expected to complete the full 12-week treatment period, and Fulcrum plans to report updated results in Q1 2026.

PIONEER Study 20 mg Dose Cohort Initial Efficacy Data

Initial results from the 20 mg dose cohort of the Phase 1b PIONEER trial (n=12) are as follows:

Mean absolute HbF increased by 9.9% at 6 weeks of treatment with pociredir (vs. 5.6% at Week 6 and 8.6% at Week 12 in the 12 mg cohort), increasing from a baseline of 7.1% to 16.9%. As of the November 11, 2025 data cutoff, 7 of 12 patients (58%) achieved absolute HbF levels ≥20% at Week 6, and all patients demonstrated a robust HbF increase. HbF levels of 20% are associated with ~90% of patients experiencing zero VOCs per year, based on real-world data presented by Fulcrum at the 20th Annual Sickle Cell & Thalassemia Conference (ASCAT) in October 2025.A clear dose-response was observed, with a >3.75-fold mean induction of HbF at Week 12 among patients who reached the Week 12 visit as of the November 11, 2025 data cutoff (n=6), compared to a 2.4-fold mean induction at Week 12 in the 12 mg cohort. The average baseline for these six patients is 5.0% as compared to 7.1% for the full cohort. Fold induction accounts for differences in baseline HbF levels and enables a normalized comparison of dose-response.The proportion of F-cells (HbF-containing red blood cells) increased from a mean of 31% at baseline to 58% at Week 6 (n=9), indicating early progression toward pan-cellular HbF induction (evenly distributed across red blood cells). F-cells are resistant to sickling and hemolysis because of HbF-mediated inhibition of sickle hemoglobin (HbS) polymerization. Consequently, higher proportions of F-cells are associated with improved red blood cell health.Markers of hemolysis and erythropoiesis improved at Week 6: Indirect bilirubin decreased by 37% (vs. 37% at Week 12 in the 12 mg cohort)Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) decreased by 37% (vs. 28% at Week 12 in the 12 mg cohort)Red cell distribution width decreased by 22% (vs. 27% at Week 12 in the 12 mg cohort)Reticulocyte counts decreased by 33% (vs. 31% at Week 12 in the 12 mg cohort), indicating healthier bone marrow function Mean hemoglobin increased by 0.8 g/dL at Week 6 (vs. 0.9 g/dL at Week 12 in the 12 mg cohort), increasing from a baseline of 7.3 g/dL to 8.1 g/dL.

About Fulcrum Therapeutics
Fulcrum Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing small molecules to improve the lives of patients with genetically defined rare diseases in areas of high unmet medical need. Fulcrum’s lead clinical program is pociredir, a small molecule designed to increase expression of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) for the treatment of sickle cell disease (SCD). Fulcrum uses proprietary technology to identify drug targets that can modulate gene expression to treat the known root cause of gene mis-expression. For more information, visit www.fulcrumtx.com and follow us on Twitter/X (@FulcrumTx) and LinkedIn.

About Pociredir
Pociredir is an investigational oral small-molecule inhibitor of Embryonic Ectoderm Development (EED) that was discovered using Fulcrum’s proprietary discovery technology. Inhibition of EED leads to potent downregulation of key fetal globin repressors, including BCL11A, thereby causing an increase in fetal hemoglobin (HbF). Pociredir is being developed for the treatment of SCD. Initial data in SCD in the PIONEER Phase 1b clinical trial showed proof-of-concept and achieved absolute levels of HbF increases associated with potential overall patient benefit. Through the completion of the 12 mg dose cohort, pociredir was demonstrated to be generally well-tolerated in people with SCD with up to three months of exposure, with no treatment-related serious adverse events reported. Pociredir has been granted FDA Fast Track designation and Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of SCD. To learn more about clinical trials of pociredir please visit ClinicalTrials.gov.

About Sickle Cell Disease
SCD is a genetic disorder of the red blood cells caused by a mutation in the HBB gene. This gene encodes a protein that is a key component of hemoglobin, a protein complex whose function is to transport oxygen in the body. The result of the mutation is less efficient oxygen transport and the formation of red blood cells that have a sickle shape. These sickle shaped cells are much less flexible than healthy cells and can block blood vessels or rupture cells. People with SCD typically suffer from serious clinical consequences, which may include anemia, pain, infections, stroke, heart disease, pulmonary hypertension, kidney failure, liver disease, and reduced life expectancy.

About PIONEER
PIONEER (NCT05169580) is a Phase 1b open-label dose-escalation clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of pociredir, an oral once-daily HbF inducer, in adult patients with severe SCD. Secondary endpoints include HbF induction, hemolysis, and anemia. Exploratory endpoints include globin gene expression, % F-cells and incidence of VOCs. Fulcrum has previously completed cohort 1 (6 mg, n=10), cohort 2 (2 mg, n=2), cohort 3a (12 mg, n=4), and cohort 3b (12 mg, n=16). Initial results of cohort 4 (20 mg, n=12) are reported today. A total of 13 patients enrolled, but there was one discontinuation due to death, which was determined by the investigator to be unrelated to treatment following complications from VOC reported on Day 1 of the study. The pharmacodynamic (PD) analysis data for cohort 4 includes 12 patients, of which 50% (n=6) reached 12 weeks of the November 11, 2025 data cut, and 100% (n=12) reached at least 6 weeks as of the data cut. The safety analysis set for 20mg includes all 13 patients who enrolled.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - December 6, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Primo Water Corporation (NYSE: PRMW) between June 17, 2024 and November 8, 2024, both dates inclusive, and/or (ii) purchasers of common stock of Primo Brands Corporation (NYSE: PRMB) between November 11, 2024 and November 6, 2025 (the "Class Period"), of the important January 12, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Primo Brands securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Primo Brands class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=47890 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 12, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, Primo Brands formed following the November 8, 2024 merger between Primo Water and BlueTriton Brands, is a branded beverage company that offers beverage products across a variety of formats, channels, and price points. According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants misrepresented and failed to disclose key facts about the merger between Primo Water and BlueTriton Brands, including facts regarding the progress of the merger integration. Defendants issued a series of materially false and misleading statements that led investors to believe the merger would accelerate growth, generate transformative operational efficiencies, achieve meaningful synergies, and deliver strong financial results, and that the merger integration was proceeding "flawlessly." When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

The Smartest Dividend Stock to Buy With $100 Right Now stocknewsapi
O
Make sure your portfolio is prepared for any kind of market with dividend stocks.

As 2025 comes to a close, the S&P 500 is up 16.6%, and there's real potential of a third year in a row of double-digit gains for the index. Does that spell trouble for 2026? Not necessarily. However, investors should be prepared at all times for the possibility of market volatility.

Part of that preparation is having a diversified portfolio of stocks, and that includes great dividend stocks. Dividend stocks are your anchors at any time, and they fortify your portfolio in case it needs to weather market turbulence. If you're looking to shore up your portfolio, Realty Income (O +0.37%) could be the best dividend stock to buy right now.

Everything you need in a top dividend stock
Realty Income is a real estate investment trust (REIT). REITs own and lease properties, and they pay out 90% of their earnings as dividends, which is why they often feature in the dividend portion of a great portfolio.

There are different types of REITs depending on the industry, and Realty Income is a retail REIT. Its client list includes resilient essentials retailers that can perform well in any environment, like Walmart and CVS, and no client makes up more than 3.3% of the total property portfolio. Although 80% of its properties are in retail, it has expanded into other industries like gaming and industrials, and it's also spreading out globally. This lowers its overall risk.

This stable model is how Realty Income can support an incredible and unusual dividend. It pays its dividend monthly and raises it quarterly. The company has paid it out without fail for the past 665 months, or more than 55 years, and raised it for 112 consecutive quarters.

Realty Income's dividend yields 5.5% at the current price, rounding out all the ways it provides value for passive income investors, and it could be the best dividend stock to buy right now.

SNPS Investors Have Opportunity to Lead Synopsys, Inc. Securities Fraud Lawsuit stocknewsapi
SNPS
, /PRNewswire/ --

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS) between December 4, 2024 and September 9, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important December 30, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

So What: If you purchased Synopsys securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

What to do next: To join the Synopsys class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=44981 https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=39889or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than December 30, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Details of the Case: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) the extent to which Synopsys' increased focus on artificial intelligence customers, which require additional customization, was deteriorating the economics of its Design IP business; (2) that, as a result, "certain road map and resource decisions" were unlikely to "yield their intended results,"; (3) that the foregoing had a material negative impact on financial results; and (4) as  a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Synopsys' business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Synopsys class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=44981 https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=39889or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Should You Buy Lululemon Stock Before 2026? stocknewsapi
LULU
Management's strategy could drive higher revenue next year.

Shares of Lululemon Athletica (LULU +3.50%) have given investors a wild ride in recent years. This was a high-performing athletic apparel brand until macroeconomic headwinds caught up with it in the last few years. However, this is also why investors can currently buy shares at a modest valuation that could set up great returns from here.

Image source: Getty Images.

Why Lululemon could rebound in the new year
Total revenue grew by just 6.5% year over year in the recent quarter, significantly below its 20% average quarterly top-line growth over the last decade. But all that is well-priced into the stock at this point. Easing inflation and lower interest rates could serve as catalysts for rising demand over the next few years.

Today's Change

3.50

%) $

6.42

Current Price

190.02

A near-term catalyst is management's focus on introducing new styles in the spring, which aims to address inventory staleness and stimulate increased demand.

As investors focus on brighter days ahead, the stock seems to be finding a bottom below $200. The valuation is attractive, with a forward (one-year) price-to-earnings multiple of 14. This is a bargain for a premium brand that generates above-average margins and still has ample international growth potential.

Lululemon stock is a compelling buy for 2026, particularly for investors who are already heavily invested in highly valued growth stocks and are looking to add potentially undervalued stocks to their investment portfolio.

3 Things to Watch With TGT Stock in 2026 stocknewsapi
TGT
Target has had a few rough years, but the shopping cart is coming together for a rebound in the year ahead.

As a Target (TGT +0.69%) shareholder, I feel like I've been wearing the mass-market retailer's signature bullseye logo in recent years. Target stock has lost a third of its value in 2025, cut nearly in half over the past five years.

The stock's slide isn't a pricing error by a checkout scanner. Target's downticks check out. It's losing market share, wrapping up its third consecutive fiscal year of declining same-store sales. It has fumbled merchandising, politics, and protecting shopper security data.

Things don't have to stay that way in 2026. I'm not still a Target investor because I'm a glutton for "cheap chic" punishment. Let's go over some of the things that will be critical for Target to get right if it wants to bounce back in the coming year.

Image source: Getty Images.

1. It keeps wearing the Dividend King crown
One benefit for patient income investors is that Target has continued to raise its quarterly distributions, even as the stock goes the other way. Target is currently yielding a beefy 5%. It has now boosted its payouts for 55 years, landing it in an elite field of companies known as Dividend Kings for coming through with at least 50 years of dividend hikes.

Given Target's growth challenges and corporate-level layoffs, its reign as a Dividend King isn't a lock. Thankfully, analysts expect the retailer to earn more than enough to cover a dividend boost. Stretching the streak to 56 years this year is important. If the stock heads lower, it means the yield will be much higher than 5% by the end of 2026.

2. The new CEO hits the ground running
Nothing rattles a boardroom more than a downward-sloping stock chart. Target has been a downhill skier over the past few years. Change is coming at the top. Michael Fiddelke will be the chain's new CEO in February.

He's not some savvy outsider. He has been at Target for 22 years, since arriving as a finance intern.

Fiddelke is currently the discount department store's COO. An internal hire for CEO often indicates a company will stay on the same course as before, but that's unlikely to happen here. Target needs to nail a turnaround strategy, and Fiddelke will need to make well-received signature moves out of the gate.

3. Comps turn positive in 2026
Analysts are surprisingly hopeful for the retail stock. They expect a 2% increase in net sales, with a 5% step higher on earnings per share. Wall Street pros have been optimistic before, only to be burned by reality. Target can't fall into that trap again.

Layoffs and other cost-saving moves should help the bottom line, but that's not a long-term solution. Target needs to resonate again with shoppers. After three years of negative comps, it needs to gain ground at the store level in 2026 for investors to believe in Target again.

Warren Buffett's Warning to Wall Street has Reached Deafening Levels: 3 Things You Should Do Before 2026. stocknewsapi
BRK-A BRK-B
Buffett might be worried about the valuations of stocks today.

Warren Buffett has been sounding the alarm bell for quite some time now. Twelve quarters to be exact. That's the number of consecutive quarters that the billionaire has been a net seller of stocks, meaning his selling has outweighed his buying. On top of this, Buffett, as chairman and chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway, has been building cash to reach record levels -- in the third quarter, cash topped $381 billion.

The famous investor hasn't explained the reason for his moves, but we can gather clues from comments he's made in the past and from what we know about his investment strategy. For example, in his letter to shareholders last year, Buffett explained that buying opportunities aren't generally abundant. "Often, nothing looks compelling," he wrote. And, over time, Buffett has emphasized the importance of buying stocks for reasonable valuations -- and not overpaying for a stock just because it's popular.

Considering all of this, Buffett may be worried about the rising valuations of stocks -- and that's why his warning to Wall Street has reached deafening levels. With this in mind, here are three things you should do before 2026.

Image source: The Motley Fool.

1. Favor diversification
As mentioned, S&P 500 valuations have climbed, with the S&P 500 Shiller CAPE ratio reaching 40, a level it's only reached once before. This is an inflation-adjusted measure of stock prices in relation to earnings, and it suggests that stocks today are at one of their priciest levels ever.

And investors have worried most specifically about the prices of artificial intelligence (AI) stocks. Some market participants have even said an AI bubble might be forming, though AI companies' earnings reports may suggest otherwise -- showing growth and ongoing demand.

It's impossible to predict with 100% accuracy whether a bubble is on the way or if AI stocks will continue to climb well into the future. But, in either situation, you may win if your portfolio is well diversified across stocks and industries. This way, even if one of those stocks or sectors falters, others may compensate.

Now, as you consider your holdings and strategy heading into a new year, it's a great time to evaluate your portfolio -- and if you lack diversification and have the cash to put to work, tackle the problem. If high valuations lead to a dip in the stock market, a diversified portfolio may help you weather the storm.

2. Seize opportunities
Though stocks have advanced quite a bit in recent years, this doesn't mean that buying opportunities don't exist. Even though Buffett has primarily sold stocks for several quarters, he's also found some great deals -- in the third quarter, for example, he opened a position in Alphabet, one of the cheapest of the Magnificent Seven tech stocks.

So, it's always important to be on the lookout for a good buy, even at times when the market is difficult or stocks seem expensive. You might pick up shares of a stock that's soared but recently has pulled back, offering a fresh buying opportunity -- CoreWeave comes to mind, particularly if you're an aggressive investor. Or you may turn to a potential recovery story like UnitedHealth Group -- Buffett opened a position in the health insurance giant in the second quarter.

3. Set aside cash
Finally, when possible, it's always a smart idea to set aside some cash that you might dig into when new buying opportunities arise. As Buffett's moves from quarter to quarter show, even at times when he isn't a major buyer of stocks, he still has managed to pick up some good deals. It's important to be prepared so you won't miss out.

The level of cash you set aside depends on your budget, and the good news is that any amount can help you along the path to wealth. So, you don't have to set aside thousands of dollars -- or billions like Buffett -- to start investing or add to your current positions. You can accomplish a lot with $100 or even less if you invest wisely and regularly. Over time, you might add to that cash pile and progressively invest it as needed.

So, if your budget allows, before the New Year, follow in Buffett's footsteps by setting aside even a small amount of cash to deploy at just the right moment in 2026.

Solana Ecosystem Questions Jupiter Lend's Isolation Claims Amid Rehypothecation Warnings cryptonews
JUP SOL
3 mins mins

Key Points:

Challenge on Jupiter Lend vault independence over rehypothecation risks.Public criticism arises, claiming interconnected risks.Solana community urges clarity on risk separation claims.
The independence of Jupiter Lend’s vaults has been challenged by Solana ecosystem figures, including Fluid and Kamino co-founders, due to concerns over asset rehypothecation and risk exposure.

This controversy highlights critical transparency issues in DeFi, potentially affecting Jupiter Lend’s credibility and user trust, amid concerns of risk disclosure discrepancies within Solana’s ecosystem.

Rehypothecation Risks and Call for Transparency Intensify
The independence of vaults at Jupiter Lend, part of the Solana ecosystem, is under scrutiny. Fluid’s co-founder Samyak Jain said rehypothecation was used for capital efficiency, meaning collateral isn’t completely isolated across vaults. Kamino co-founder Marius also joined the dialogue, signaling that the migration tool to Jupiter Lend was blocked due to misleading design claims and risk underestimations, prompting concerns over user exposure to recursive strategies.

Potential shifts in capital allocation are seen as community players reassess their positions in light of these revelations. Kamino and Fluid have pointed to misrepresentations in Jupiter’s messaging, calling the supposed risk separation and vault independence claims misleading. The public critique encompasses how recursive borrowing—such as using SOL—exposes lenders to unintended risks linked with rehypothecating collateral into other assets.

“Vaults use rehypothecation for capital efficiency and are therefore not fully isolated in practice.”The Solana community, amid these allegations, echoes a desire for a definitive response from Jupiter. While Jupiter has emphasized 95% LTV and supposed innovation, critics argue that this masks underlying asset correlation risks. As of yet, Jupiter hasn’t provided a formal rebuttal to these cross-asset exposure concerns.

Historical Context, Price Data, and Expert Insights
Did you know? Controversy around Jupiter Lend’s vaults signals a recurring concern in DeFi over transparency and risk communication.

From CoinMarketCap data, Solana’s (SOL) price stands at $132.13, with a market cap of 73.99 billion. These figures highlight a 2.43% market dominance but reflect a price decrease of 0.41% in 24 hours. The trading volume dropped significantly by 53.37%, as recorded on December 6, 2025.

Insights from the Coincu research team suggest that continuing leverage and rehypothecation strategies could amplify systemic exposure, highlighting the need for clearer protocols on risk management. While Solana aims to maintain its DeFi leadership, addressing concerns around vault design is crucial for preserving ecosystem integrity.

Florida Appeals Court Revives $80M Bitcoin Theft cryptonews
BTC
Florida appeals court allows $80M Bitcoin theft lawsuit against Binance to proceed, overturning prior dismissal decision.

A Florida man who lost $80 million in Bitcoin to scammers will get another chance to pursue legal action against Binance in state court.

This follows a Wednesday appeal in which a court overturned a previous dismissal.

Florida Ruling Revives Binance Lawsuit
A Bloomberg report reveals that a judge has determined that the crypto exchange can be sued locally for allegedly failing to prevent the stolen funds from being transferred.

The plaintiff, Jonny Chen, says he fell victim to a 2022 scam that drained 1,000 Bitcoin from his account. He further claims that he immediately notified Binance at the time and requested that the platform freeze the assets, but alleges the company did not act quickly enough, allowing the money to disappear.

The victim had initially filed a negligence lawsuit in Florida, but the trial court dismissed the case on the grounds that it lacked jurisdiction because Binance is headquartered overseas. However, the recent appeal has now reopened the door for it to proceed.

The decision said that Binance’s digital presence and business activity in Florida, including marketing to local users and offering services through its platform, were sufficient to establish legal jurisdiction.

The court wrote that Chen “will have a fresh opportunity to show he can sue Binance Holdings Inc. in state court over an alleged theft of eighty million dollars’ worth of Bitcoin.” It also said the lower tribunal had made an error when it decided it could not hear the case.

Jurisdiction Disputes
This is not the first time a crypto company has delayed or contested legal action by raising jurisdictional challenges.

Several large platforms have postponed or escaped litigation by arguing that regulators lacked authority over them due to their overseas registration.

For instance, in the case of BitMEX, American investors had accused the firm of market manipulation and operating without proper licensing. However, the company countered that it was beyond U.S. reach because it was incorporated in the Seychelles and had no physical footprint in the country, which led to delays and partial dismissals in the proceedings.

KuCoin, another foreign-based operator, faced action in New York for allegedly offering unregistered securities. The company had initially disputed the case by insisting it had no major ties to the United States. Despite this, New York’s Attorney General later relied on the Martin Act to move forward despite the firm’s objections.

Bitfinex and its affiliate Tether have also dealt with multiple claims involving alleged market manipulation and transparency shortcomings, with the two initially challenging U.S. authority, citing foreign incorporation. Despite this, some litigation eventually moved forward and resulted in settlements.
