  Zillow may be getting an Alphabet-sized competitor. There are few areas of online search that Google doesn’t dominate, but real estate listings is one of them…for now. The search giant appears to be testing displaying its own real estate listings at the top of search results, and that news sent Zillow’s stock down more than 9% yesterday, like the price of a house where they’ve just discovered cracks in the foundation. Still, analysts were quick to point out that a little (massive) competition might not be so bad for Zillow, which isn’t very dependent on organic search traffic for its pageviews.

• Stock Market Closing Report - Monday, December 15, 2025

  U.S. stocks finished slightly lower on Monday as artificial intelligence stocks extended their recent slide, with investors continuing to rotate away from high-flying tech names ahead of a critical week of delayed economic data.

  
  S&P 500: lost 0.16% to settle at 6,816.51 after beginning the session in positive territory
  
  Dow Jones Industrial Average: slipped 41.49 points (-0.09%) to finish at 48,416.56
  
  Nasdaq Composite: fell 0.59% to 23,057.41
  

  Market Drivers: Certain AI stocks bogged down the broader market during Monday's session, with shares of Broadcom and Oracle—two names that led a rotation away from AI last week—declining more than 5% and more than 2%, respectively. Others like Microsoft also suffered some losses.

  
  

  The market wiped out an initial 0.5% gain and moved lower after the opening bell, with megacap tech serving as a source of weakness. Small cap names lagged, with the Russell 2000 trailing the S&P 600.

  
  

  Sector Performance: Investors moved instead to areas more sensitive to the economy, such as consumer discretionary and industrials. They also loaded up on health-care shares. Energy was the lagging sector as both crude and natural gas continued to slide, while biopharma and managed care names mainly traded higher.

  BP's Atlantis Drill Center 1 expansion in the US Gulf of America has achieved first oil two months early. The project, BP's seventh major upstream development to come online this year, adds two new wells tied back to existing infrastructure and is expected to deliver about 15,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day at peak from the Atlantis platform, which can handle about 200,000 bpd of oil and 180 MMcf/d of gas.

• Texas to permit discharge of treated oilfield wastewater

  Texas regulators are set to issue permits to companies, including Texas Pacific Land and NGL Energy, to treat and release wastewater from oil production into the Pecos River. The move aims to reduce underground disposal, which has caused earthquakes and leaks, but critics are concerned about the safety of treated wastewater. The initiative could provide water for irrigation and data centers, but treatment costs are higher than underground disposal.
