Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!
It’s already December 24th—can you believe how fast 2025 has gone by? Presents are being wrapped, cookies are in the oven, and hopefully the holidays are off to a great start.
Even during the holidays, it can be hard to turn off the market brain. Many are probably sneaking a peek at charts while the festivities swirl around. The market never pauses for a holiday; opportunity is always around the corner.
There’s a special buzz in the air today—perhaps the holiday spirit, or perhaps because there are genuinely interesting setups developing right now. The screens have been watched closely all morning, so here’s a curated list of stocks making waves.
Here is your Stock Region Watchlist for Wednesday, December 24, 2025.
1. Nike ($NKE)
Addressing the elephant—or should we say, the swoosh—in the room: Nike just reported a challenging fiscal Q2, with China sales dropping by 10%. That stings, no doubt.
However, everyone loves a comeback story. Despite headwinds, Nike returned $598 million to shareholders through dividends—a 7% increase from last year. That’s a confident move from management, with insiders also buying up shares. When those at the helm are investing more, it’s a sign to watch.
After-hours action suggests the worst might be priced in, with some optimism bubbling beneath the surface. If the direct-to-consumer strategy gains traction, this price level could look very appealing in hindsight.
Sentiment check: Risky territory, but Nike’s global brand isn’t disappearing any time soon. Worth watching.
Key levels: Upside above $58.84 could bring some holiday cheer. Downside below $58.38 would be a warning sign.
2. Dynavax Technologies ($DVAX)
Now here’s the kind of news that can spark real excitement. Dynavax is slated to be acquired by Sanofi for $15.50 per share—a robust 39% premium over its last close.
This move underscores the high-stakes, high-reward nature of biotech. Sanofi clearly sees untapped potential in Dynavax’s hepatitis B vaccine portfolio.
At this stage, the stock is mostly a game of watching the arbitrage play out, with a slim possibility of another suitor entering the ring. Anyone holding shares before the news essentially unwrapped an early holiday bonus.
Takeaway: The main fireworks have likely passed, but the transaction highlights the premium value in select biotech areas.
Key levels: Watch closely for any dip below $15.33 just in case this deal hits turbulence, though all signs currently point to a smooth closing.
3. UiPath ($PATH)
UiPath is carving out a niche in AI-powered automation—with impressive results. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is increasingly sought after as companies look for ways to cut costs and boost efficiency.
Revenue jumped 19% year-over-year, and the customer count is now north of 10,000 worldwide. Heading into 2026, UiPath’s solutions are primed to become even more essential as businesses double down on productivity.
This stock might not get the loudest headlines, but sometimes the quietest names have the biggest surprises in store. The fundamentals point to strength beneath the surface.
Sentiment check: A compelling contender for the future of work. Definitely worth a closer look.
Key levels: Upside momentum above $17.35 would be exciting. Should price fall below $16.95, it might be best to stand aside.
That wraps up today’s watchlist. Whether trading or relaxing, wishing you a wonderful holiday season with family and friends. Take a break (after checking these levels), savor good food, and recharge.
Looking forward to reconnecting after the holiday break.
Stay safe and happy trading!
