Why Most Investors Sell at the Worst Possible Time 👇 <video src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LgOe3KVfC3w" poster="https://cdn.ainvest.com/articles/focusnews/coverimage/content/pictures/Episode 20_c88a78411767127832193.jpg" data="{&quot;videoUrl&quot;:&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/LgOe3KVfC3w&quot;,&quot;coverUrl&quot;:&quot;https://cdn.ainvest.com/articles/focusnews/coverimage/content/pictures/Episode 20_c88a78411767127832193.jpg&quot;}"></video>U.S. stocks edged lower Tuesday at the closing bell in the year’s penultimate session, with trading conditions muted heading into Wednesday’s final trading day of the year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 94.87 points, or 0.20%, to 48,367.1. The S&amp;P 500 slipped 9.50 points, or 0.14%, to 6,896.24, and the Nasdaq Composite declined 55.27 points, or 0.24%, to 23,419.1. Small caps lagged, with the Russell 2000 down 1.85 points, or 0.74%, at 248.03.Volatility remained subdued. The CBOE Volatility Index was last at 14.14, down 0.42%, underscoring a calm backdrop even as investors parsed fresh policy signals and a late-year burst of deal chatter.In monetary policy, investors reviewed details from the Federal Reserve’s <a href="https://www.ainvest.com/news/fed-minutes-deliver-clarity-catalysts-markets-remain-anchored-year-2512/" target='__blank'>December meeting minutes,</a> which an AInvest summary described as reinforcing a cautious, non-committal approach to easing. The summary said most policymakers favored lowering the federal-funds rate at the meeting but that officials differed over how quickly policy should normalize, and it highlighted a discussion of technical balance-sheet steps aimed at maintaining control of short-term rates—an effort to separate reserve management from any return to quantitative easing.Corporate developments also drew attention. Bloomberg reported that Warner Bros. Discovery <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-12-30/warner-bros-plans-to-reject-paramount-offer-next-week?srnd=homepage-americas" target='__blank'>plans to reject</a> a takeover bid from Paramount Skydance after changes to the offer, with concerns centering on whether the bidder improves financial terms and how debt and potential breakup-fee exposure would be addressed. The report said the board is weighing the lack of a guarantee to cover a breakup fee Warner Bros. could owe Netflix if a competing deal scenario were triggered.In technology, Meta Platforms <a href="https://www.ainvest.com/news/meta-boldest-ai-bet-zuckerberg-spent-2b-china-born-ai-agent-reshape-tech-arms-race-2512/" target='__blank'>agreed to acquire</a> AI start-up Manus in a deal that The Wall Street Journal first reported exceeded $2 billion. The write-up pointed to Manus’s traction and its standing on Scale AI’s Remote Labor Index, while also noting that investors are likely to watch for regulatory scrutiny given the company’s history and geographic footprint.Across major markets, the message was mixed. Bitcoin traded higher, up 1.01% at $88,002.22. Gold rose 0.58% to $4,368.90. Crude oil futures eased, down 0.24% at $57.94. The crosscurrents left equities little changed in direction, but with a slightly softer tone—an unsurprising posture as fund managers and traders move into the final session of the year with positioning largely set.

Stocks Slip at Year-End as Investors Weigh Fed Minutes, Bitcoin Rallies

The S&amp;P 500 in 2025 has been a tale of extremes. For much of the year, artificial intelligence (AI) stocks dominated the headlines and the index, driving returns while leaving other sectors in the dust. But as 2025 winds down, a quiet but significant rebalancing is underway. Investors are rotating out of overvalued growth stocks and into sectors with more attractive valuations and tangible earnings. This shift-driven by profit-taking in AI, a correction in metals, and a resurgence in healthcare and industrials-sets the stage for a more diversified 2026. <h3>The AI Bubble: From Hype to Reality</h3>Information Technology, the engine of the 2025 bull market, now trades at a trailing P/E ratio of 40.59, a level that stretches even for a sector historically prone to froth <a href="https://worldperatio.com/sp-500-sectors/">according to WorldPeratio</a>. This valuation reflects the outsized gains of the "Magnificent Seven" (Mag 7) companies, which accounted for nearly all of the S&amp;P 500's gains in 2024 and 2025. However, the tide is turning. By late 2025, investors began <a href="https://www.investing.com/analysis/sp-500-slips-into-yearend-as-investors-lock-in-ai-gains-and-rotate-risk-200672467">locking in profits</a>, particularly in speculative AI plays. <img src="https://cdn.ainvest.com/aigc/hxcmp/images/compress-qwen_generated_1767185026874.jpg.png" style="max-width:100%;"/> The logic is simple: AI infrastructure spending by hyperscalers like Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon remains robust, with <a href="https://www.lpl.com/research/weekly-market-commentary/policy-tailwinds-and-artificial-intelligence-to-power-stocks-in-2026.html">a projected $520 billion in 2026 capital expenditures</a>. Yet, the market is starting to price in the reality that AI's growth is slowing. The Mag 7's earnings growth, which hit 37% in 2024, is expected to drop to 23% in 2026, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/ai-spending-strong-corporate-profits-fed-rate-cuts-seen-key-2026-stock-market-2025-12-24/">aligning with the broader market's 15% growth forecast</a>. This normalization is not a collapse-it's a recalibration. For investors, the lesson is clear: AI is still a long-term theme, but the days of buying any stock with "AI" in its description are over. <h3>Metals: The Speculative Overbidding Correction</h3>The metals sector, a proxy for inflationary bets and economic uncertainty, also faced a harsh reality check in late 2025. The Materials sector, with a P/E of 24.01, was labeled "overvalued" by analysts <a href="https://worldperatio.com/sp-500-sectors/">according to WorldPeratio</a>, a label justified by speculative overbidding in gold and silver. As margin requirements tightened and macroeconomic clarity improved, investors began <a href="https://www.investing.com/analysis/sp-500-slips-into-yearend-as-investors-lock-in-ai-gains-and-rotate-risk-200672467">unwinding these positions</a>. This unwind was not driven by a loss of confidence in the long-term narrative of currency debasement or central bank gold buying. Rather, it reflected a tactical shift as markets priced in a more stable economic environment. For 2026, metals may still have a role in a diversified portfolio, but their days as a speculative haven are likely behind them. <h3>Healthcare and Industrials: The Value Comeback</h3>While growth stocks faced profit-taking, value sectors like Healthcare and Industrials gained traction. Healthcare, trading at a "fair" P/E of 24.19 <a href="https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/stock-sector-outlook">according to Schwab</a>, outperformed in 2025 due to its defensive characteristics and resilience during economic volatility. With the sector posting mid-single-digit YTD returns, investors are increasingly viewing healthcare as a safe harbor in a world of AI-driven volatility <a href="https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/stock-sector-outlook">according to Schwab</a>. Industrials, meanwhile, benefited from AI-driven demand for infrastructure and services. Their P/E of 27.18 <a href="https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/stock-sector-outlook">according to Schwab</a> and modest YTD gains reflect a sector transitioning from cyclical recovery to structural growth. Analysts predict continued strength in 2026 as AI infrastructure spending fuels demand for industrial equipment and logistics <a href="https://www.dividendtalks.com/p/the-ai-trade-isnt-over-its-just-changing">according to DividendTalks</a>. <h3>2026 Positioning: Diversification Over Hype</h3>The coming year will likely see the S&amp;P 500 shift toward stability. <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/wall-street-strategist-reveals-the-sectors-poised-to-lead-the-stock-market-in-a-boring-normal-year-in-2026-11875262">According to Jay Woods of Freedom Capital Markets</a>, sector leadership will pivot to "slower-growth, more stable" industries like industrials, transportation, and financials. This rotation is not a rejection of AI but a recognition that the market cannot sustain a single-sector boom indefinitely. For investors, the key takeaway is to balance exposure. While AI infrastructure remains a long-term bet, diversifying into healthcare and industrials can mitigate risk. Additionally, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/ai-spending-strong-corporate-profits-fed-rate-cuts-seen-key-2026-stock-market-2025-12-24/">the Federal Reserve's dovish stance</a>-projected to include two more rate cuts in 2026-will support broader market growth, particularly in value sectors. <h3>Conclusion: The New Normal</h3>The 2025 S&amp;P 500 was defined by extremes-sky-high valuations in AI, speculative bets in metals, and a slow but steady rebound in value sectors. As 2026 begins, the market is rebalancing. The winners will be those who adapt: trimming overvalued growth positions, hedging against macroeconomic risks, and capitalizing on the structural tailwinds in healthcare and industrials. The "boring" sectors may soon become the most compelling.

The Great Rebalancing: Winners and Losers in the 2025 S&P 500

Valued at more than $2 billion, according to people familiar with the transaction, the deal gives Meta an immediate foothold in the fast-emerging market for autonomous AI agents while also raising unavoidable questions about geopolitics, regulation, and the future shape of the AI ecosystem.At its core, the <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/meta-acquire-manus-2-billion-101807601.html" target='__blank'>transaction</a> is straightforward. Meta is buying Manus outright, including buying out all existing investors, and plans to continue operating the product as a subscription service while integrating its capabilities across Meta’s platforms. The Wall Street Journal first reported that the deal exceeded $2 billion, with other sources placing the value closer to $2–3 billion. Manus was in the process of seeking new funding at a roughly $2 billion valuation when Meta approached, accelerating negotiations that reportedly concluded in about ten days. Manus CEO and co-founder Xiao Hong is expected to report to Meta COO Javier Olivan, while the roughly 100-person team will be folded into Meta’s broader AI organization.What Meta is buying is not a foundation model, but a highly capable AI agent layer built on top of existing models from companies such as Anthropic and Alibaba. Manus burst onto the scene in March after previewing an autonomous agent capable of taking simple instructions and executing multi-step tasks with minimal human supervision. The system can generate in-depth research reports, build custom websites, analyze data, write and debug code, and coordinate complex workflows—functions that go well beyond traditional chatbots. That positioning helped Manus gain millions of users in a matter of months, including a growing base of paying subscribers.The commercial traction is what truly set Manus apart. By December, just eight months after launch, the company reported crossing $100 million in annual recurring revenue, with some estimates placing its revenue run rate closer to $125 million. That kind of growth is rare even by AI standards and gives Meta something it has lacked in its AI push so far: a proven, monetized AI product that users are already paying for directly. Manus also ranked as the top-performing AI on Scale AI’s Remote Labor Index, a benchmark designed to assess how well AI agents perform real-world digital work—an endorsement that likely resonated strongly with Meta’s leadership.Strategically, the acquisition fills a clear gap in Meta’s AI portfolio. Meta has invested heavily in foundational capabilities—custom chips, massive data-center buildouts, and open-source Llama models—but it has lagged rivals like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google in delivering high-end, task-oriented AI agents. Microsoft has Copilot embedded across Windows and Office, OpenAI is expanding ChatGPT into enterprise workflows, and Google is weaving Gemini into Workspace. Until now, Meta’s AI presence has skewed toward consumer chatbots embedded in Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook, along with ad-optimization tools that quietly boost margins. Manus gives Meta a credible entry point into agentic AI for small businesses and professionals, particularly within WhatsApp’s rapidly growing SMB ecosystem.The timing is also notable. Zuckerberg has made AI the company’s top strategic priority, committing to spend as much as $600 billion in the U.S. through 2028 if AI progress continues to accelerate. Meta recently launched a new Superintelligence Labs division and recruited Alexandr Wang, founder of Scale AI, after acquiring a 49% stake in his company for $14 billion. Against that backdrop, a $2-plus-billion acquisition for a fast-growing AI agent platform looks almost modest—yet potentially transformative. Rosenblatt analysts went so far as to suggest the Manus deal could eventually stand alongside Meta’s acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp in terms of long-term impact.Still, the deal is not without risk, particularly on the regulatory front. Manus has Chinese roots, having emerged from a start-up called Butterfly Effect that was founded in China in 2022 with offices in Beijing and Wuhan. Early development relied heavily on Chinese engineering talent, and the company initially garnered attention as a symbol of China’s AI capabilities, especially following the debut of DeepSeek. That background alone is enough to trigger scrutiny in Washington, especially at a time when U.S.–China technology tensions remain high.Meta has clearly anticipated those concerns. Manus moved its headquarters to Singapore earlier this year after raising $75 million in a funding round led by Benchmark, and it has since shut down its China operations and shelved plans to offer its product in the Chinese market. Meta has explicitly stated that there will be no continuing Chinese ownership interests after the transaction and that Manus will discontinue all services in China. All existing investors, including Tencent, ZhenFund, and HSG, are being bought out. Those steps are designed to reduce national-security concerns, but they may not eliminate them entirely. U.S. regulators could still examine data flows, model training practices, and historical ties as part of any review.That said, the regulatory risk appears manageable relative to other high-profile tech deals. Manus does not control critical infrastructure, does not produce foundational AI models tied to sensitive hardware, and is now legally domiciled in Singapore with operations focused outside China. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States could still take interest, but Meta’s proactive restructuring likely lowers the probability of a prolonged or blocking review.For Meta shareholders, the market reaction has been constructive but restrained. Shares rose modestly following the announcement, extending a year-to-date gain of roughly 13%, though still trailing the broader S&amp;P 500. That response reflects both enthusiasm for the strategic fit and recognition that Meta is already deeply committed to AI spending. The bigger question is execution: whether Meta can successfully integrate Manus’ subscription-driven, agentic capabilities into its ecosystem without diluting what made the product successful in the first place.In many ways, the Manus acquisition signals where the AI race is heading next. The era of ever-larger models is giving way to competition over who can turn intelligence into action—AI that doesn’t just talk, but acts. For Meta, buying Manus is a bet that the future of AI engagement lies not only in social feeds and ads, but in autonomous digital workers embedded across everyday business and consumer workflows. Whether that bet pays off will depend on how effectively Meta can scale Manus globally—and how smoothly it can navigate the geopolitical crosscurrents that come with acquiring one of the most prominent AI products to emerge from Asia’s startup ecosystem.

Meta’s Boldest AI Bet Yet: Why Zuckerberg Just Spent $2B on a China-Born AI Agent That Could Reshape the Tech Arms Race

<h2>Tesla's 2025: Declining Deliveries and Supply Chain Challenges</h2>Tesla's 2025 has been marked by declining vehicle deliveries and supply chain challenges, signaling a difficult period for the electric vehicle (EV) leader. The company's fourth-quarter sales estimates show a 15% drop from 2024 levels, with the year's total expected to fall to 1.64 million units, <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/news/marketwatch/2025123074/tesla-publicly-posts-a-pessimistic-forecast-for-fourth-quarter-sales">down from 1.79 million in 2024</a>. This trend follows a global slowdown in EV demand and production delays for models like the Cybertruck. Shares of Tesla, however, have managed to rise 21% in 2025 despite these setbacks <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/tesla-stock-price-delivery-estimates-27b30d58">according to market analysis</a>.<img src="https://cdn.ainvest.com/aigc/hxcmp/images/compress-qwen_generated_1767166900495.jpg.png" style="max-width:100%;"/>The decline in sales is compounded by the deterioration of key supplier relationships. South Korean battery materials producer L&amp;F Co disclosed a drastic reduction in its Tesla supply contract, from $2.9 billion to just $7,386. <a href="https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/international/teslas-vanishing-order-hastens-fall-us800-million-fortune">This shift has significantly dented the company's market value</a> and long-term diversification goals. The revised contract highlights the risks of over-reliance on a single client and underscores broader challenges in the EV supply chain.Tesla's supply chain issues are not limited to L&amp;F. The company has seen repeated production delays for the Cybertruck, contributing to sluggish demand for the model. <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/news/marketwatch/2025123050/tesla-posts-a-pessimistic-forecast-for-fourth-quarter-sales">Analysts have noted that the Cybertruck's performance</a> has not met initial expectations, impacting overall sales momentum.<visualization data='{"components":[{"show_type":"jgyNewLowcode","config":{"type":"iwcapp/stockBackTestTool","version":"0.0.3","url":"//cdn.ainvest.com/frontResources/s/foiegras/stockBackTestTool/0.0.3/stockBackTestTool@0.0.3index.js"},"data":{"columns":[{"index_name":"strategy_basic_info","key":"strategy_basic_info","type":"Object"},{"index_name":"backtest_condition","key":"backtest_condition","type":"Object"},{"index_name":"backtest_result","key":"backtest_result","type":"STR"}],"datas":[{"strategy_basic_info":{"name":"TSLA MACD Crossover Long-Only","description":"Long-only strategy: Buy when MACD(12,26,9) crosses above signal and close &gt; 50-day SMA; sell when MACD crosses below signal, after 20 days, or at TP +8%/SL -4%."},"backtest_condition":{"object":{"display_name":"Object","type":"ticker","ticker":["TSLA"]},"open_signal":{"display_name":"Open Signal","type":"criteria","criteria":"MACD(12,26,9) line crosses above signal line AND close &gt; 50-day SMA"},"sell_signal":{"display_name":"Close Signal","type":"criteria","criteria":"MACD(12,26,9) line crosses below signal line OR after 20 trading days OR TP +8% OR SL -4%"},"risk_control":{"display_name":"Risk Control","parameters":{"take_profit":{"display_name":"Take-Profit","value":8,"unit":"%"},"stop_loss":{"display_name":"Stop-Loss","value":4,"unit":"%"},"max_holding_days":{"display_name":"Hold Days","value":20}}}},"backtest_result":"https://cdn.ainvest.com/backtest/agent/session/784562/1800109709/3b97a6ed-88c8-426d-b8e6-7ee214d58831/tsla_macd_cross_strategy_backtest_20240101_20251230.json"}]},"uuid":"1767167012132"}],"page":{"layout":{"layout_mode":"grid","layout_data":"[{"uuid": "1767167012132", "show_type": "jgyNewLowcode"}]"}}}'></visualization><h2>Why Did This Happen?</h2>The decline in Tesla's sales and supplier contracts reflects broader industry trends. The EV market has cooled in several regions, with investors growing wary of companies heavily dependent on a few key clients. <a href="https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/international/teslas-vanishing-order-hastens-fall-us800-million-fortune">L&amp;F's experience with Tesla underscores</a> the risks of relying on a single supplier, particularly when that supplier's product timelines are unpredictable.Tesla's decision to publish its own delivery estimates marks a new approach to investor transparency. The company <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/news/marketwatch/2025123074/tesla-publicly-posts-a-pessimistic-forecast-for-fourth-quarter-sales">compiled a consensus of 20 analyst forecasts</a>, a move requested by investors to better understand its performance expectations. This transparency, however, has not been enough to offset concerns over declining sales and production delays.<h2>How Did Markets React?</h2>Despite the negative delivery estimates, Tesla's stock has shown resilience. As of the end of 2025, shares have <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/tesla-stock-price-delivery-estimates-27b30d58">risen more than 21%</a>, outperforming the S&amp;P 500. This performance has been driven by investor speculation about the company's long-term prospects, particularly in areas like robotaxi services and AI-driven technologies. Some analysts remain optimistic, with Wedbush predicting a potential $2 trillion market capitalization for Tesla in 2026 <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-provides-downbeat-vehicle-delivery-174857744.html">according to financial reports</a>.Investor sentiment has also been influenced by Tesla's strategic direction. The company is focusing on AI advancements, including its Full-Self Driving program and robotaxi initiatives. <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/tesla-stock-forecast-baird-previews-2026-4425232">These efforts are seen as potential long-term growth drivers</a>, even as current sales figures remain below expectations.<h2>What Are Analysts Watching Next?</h2><visualization dataurl="https://cdn.ainvest.com/news/visual/visual_components/viz_70of4d7i.json"></visualization>Analysts are closely monitoring several factors that could shape Tesla's performance in 2026. Baird analysts highlight the importance of robotaxi service announcements, updates on new markets, and <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/tesla-stock-forecast-baird-previews-2026-4425232">potential production increases for the Tesla Semi</a>. The firm also expects progress on Optimus, Tesla's humanoid robot, and continued growth in the Energy segment.Production timelines and regulatory approvals in key markets like China and the European Union will also play a critical role. <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/tesla-stock-forecast-baird-previews-2026-4425232">Analysts are watching for updates on these fronts</a>, which could influence investor confidence and stock performance.Financially, Tesla has maintained a strong balance sheet, with a current ratio of 2.07 and a manageable debt-to-equity ratio of 0.17 <a href="https://www.gurufocus.com/news/4089619/tesla-tsla-projects-q4-deliveries-amid-stock-lag">according to financial data</a>. However, earnings growth has declined over the past year, raising questions about the company's ability to maintain profitability amid rising production and R&amp;D costs.The market is also observing the potential for new vehicle launches and pricing strategies. <a href="https://www.gurufocus.com/news/4089619/tesla-tsla-projects-q4-deliveries-amid-stock-lag">Analysts project Tesla delivering over 3 million vehicles</a> by 2029, but achieving this goal will depend on resolving current production bottlenecks and gaining traction in emerging markets.The supply chain disruptions, particularly with L&amp;F, underscore the need for Tesla to diversify its supplier base. <a href="https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/international/teslas-vanishing-order-hastens-fall-us800-million-fortune">Investors are watching whether the company</a> will take steps to reduce its dependence on single-source suppliers, which could help mitigate future risks.As the year draws to a close, Tesla's path forward remains uncertain. While short-term challenges persist, the company's long-term vision, including AI advancements and autonomous driving, continues to attract investor attention <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/tesla-stock-forecast-baird-previews-2026-4425232">according to market analysis</a>.
