$INTC stood at the top of late-night chatter as Intel remained central to sector-wide comparisons in semiconductors and AI infrastructure. Multiple research pieces and headlines about strategic positioning against industry leaders such as Nvidia dominated screens, with traders dissecting long-term relevance even as traditional fabrication and chip competitiveness stay under scrutiny.

$WULF emerged as a standout trending ticker after a well-timed analyst upgrade that suggested substantial upside potential. With elevated volume and bullish sentiment building around a narrative of expanding infrastructure and bitcoin-related operations, traders are positioning ahead of fresh liquidity and early 2026 catalysts.

$ARM trended strongly among macro and sector discussions due to contrasting analyst views on its AI exposure. A prominent downgrade sparked debate about valuation and competitive moat, while longer-term holders balanced that against Arm embedded role across mobile and IoT chips, making it a high-attention name entering the new year.

$QCOM continued to gain attention in trend analysis of top semiconductor names. Qualcomm strategic positioning in connectivity and chips beyond pure AI has made it a focal point for traders calibrating exposure across diversified tech chips, helping it stay near the top of watchlists despite broader sector caution.

$MNKD found itself trending in healthcare and biotech commentary following regulatory progress that expanded its addressable market. This FDA-related development drove discussions into the night, with traders viewing it as a fundamentally driven stock to watch as active trading resumes.

$VOD captured headlines in international markets after corporate support stories and liability relief deals circulated, making Vodafone Idea a conversation piece among global telecom plays. Its narrative oscillates between survival optimism and structural risk, feeding active debate and trend momentum.

$TSCO drew interest among income and defensive trade strategists as portfolios balanced growth and stability heading into 2026. Though not a classic high-beta tech name, its standing in this rotation of capital toward resilient cash flow themes made it one of the more discussed tickers.

$GLW remained part of trending rotation conversations following a strong multi-month run, with traders poring over earnings leverage in glass and materials as an off-tape proxy for industrial strength.

$U stood out among software trend narratives after reiterated bullish analyst commentary on platform prospects. Unity relevance in gaming, simulation, and emerging digital economies kept it in discussion even without trading on the holiday.

$LI also trended within EV and mobility discussions as comparative analysis reshaped expectations on demand and unit economics for electric vehicle leaders versus broader automotive peers. On the off session, this kept Li Auto at the center of thematic positioning.
