Price Jumps on Dec. 19, 2025 as Robotaxi Break-Even, Fleet Expansion Plans, and Fresh Analyst Targets Shape the 2026 Outlook
Pony AI Inc. stock (NASDAQ: PONY) is back in the spotlight on Friday, December 19, 2025, after a sharp move higher that underscores why this name has become a daily debate topic for autonomy and AI-focused investors.
As of 16:34 UTC, PONY traded at $16.01, up about 12.3% on the day, after opening at $14.68 and ranging between $14.56 and $16.08. Trading volume was roughly 3.79 million shares at that timestamp—active enough to keep momentum traders and long-term investors watching the same tape for different reasons.
That intraday surge comes just one day after a $14.26 close on Dec. 18 (per historical pricing), making the two-day setup a clear “risk-on / risk-off” test for the market’s appetite for early-stage autonomy stories. [1]
