Valley Forge, PA – December 10, 2025 – Vanguard, one of the world's largest investment management companies, has today released its much-anticipated "Vanguard Economic and Market Outlook 2026," painting a picture of significantly more modest returns for U.S. equities over the next decade. The outlook, which draws on the firm's proprietary
As December 10, 2025, draws to a close, financial markets are holding their breath, fixated on the Federal Reserve's imminent interest rate decision.

Shares of ride sharing and on-demand delivery platform Uber (NYSE:UBER)
fell 5.6% in the afternoon session after the company received a price target cut from Morgan Stanley and faced reports it was pulling back on incentives for electric vehicle drivers. Morgan Stanley lowered its price target on Uber's stock to $110 from $115, although it maintained its "Overweight" rating. Adding to the negative sentiment, reports indicated that the company discontinued its monthly EV bonuses for drivers as it scaled back some of its climate efforts. The move also occurred as the company dealt with what was described as mounting regulatory pressure in Europe.
Shares of financial advisory firm Lazard (NYSE:LAZ) fell 3% in the afternoon session after the company reported that its preliminary assets under management (AUM) for November fell to approximately $250.8 billion, a 6.3% decrease from the previous month. The drop was caused by net outflows of $18.0 billion. A significant portion of this, $16.8 billion, resulted from the closure of a single U.S. sub-advised client relationship. This event was particularly concerning for investors because the company had previously expected this withdrawal to occur in 2026 or later. The earlier-than-anticipated loss of a major client's assets signaled instability and prompted a negative reaction in the market.
Shares of self defense company AXON (NASDAQ:AXON)
jumped 2.7% in the afternoon session after the company secured two multi-million dollar contracts with police departments for its AI-powered technology, including body cameras and drones.
Shares of electricity storage and software provider Fluence (NASDAQ:FLNC)
fell 2% in the afternoon session after the negative momentum continued as two analyst firms recently downgraded the company's stock. Mizuho lowered its rating on the stock to 'Underperform,' and Johnson Rice cut its rating to 'Hold.' Although Mizuho also raised its price target for the shares, the downgrades from two separate firms signaled a more cautious view of the company's prospects. These revised ratings from financial analysts likely influenced investor sentiment, contributing to the selling pressure on the stock.

The initiation with a 'Buy' rating often draws investor attention as it suggests confidence in the company's future prospects and strategy.
Shares of luxury fashion conglomerate Tapestry (NYSE:TPR)
fell 1.9% in the afternoon session after Guggenheim initiated coverage on the company with a "Neutral" rating. The new coverage was led by analyst Simeon Siegel, who did not assign a price target as part of the initiation.
Shares of global media and entertainment company iHeartMedia (NASDAQ:IHRT)
jumped 5% in the afternoon session after the stock continued its strong upward momentum from the previous trading session, which saw a significant price surge on high volume. On the prior trading day, iHeartMedia's stock price gained more than 13%, with shares fluctuating significantly throughout the day.

No specific company announcements or fundamental news appeared to be the direct cause for the initial sharp increase, suggesting the move was driven by market trading dynamics rather than a new development within the company.
