Biz Doc’s Top 10 Business Predictions for 2025
10. “Nukes Are Back!”
Nuclear energy is making a comeback in the US, driven by the rising energy demands of data centers. Companies like Oracle are obtaining permits to build reactors near data centers to address energy shortages. Modern nuclear technology is smaller and safer, reflecting a shift toward sustainable energy solutions.
In 2025, Biz Doc predicts that nuclear energy will become a more viable option for the American energy sector.
9. MSNBC or CNN Will Be Sold…But Not Both
Given the struggles the mainstream media experienced in 2024, signs point to either CNN or MSNBC being sold off in 2025, likely at the Allen & Company Conference.
Tom leans toward MSNBC as the one to be sold, citing declining ratings and financial challenges in the media industry.
8. AI Tools Will Be Top Investments
AI investments will remain strong, with a shift in focus to AI tools tailored for business applications. These tools will receive significant funding, continuing AI’s momentum as a transformative industry.
7. “Tariffs Will Be Tactics, Not Taxes”
Under President Trump’s administration, tariffs will be used as tactical tools rather than broad taxes that drive up costs for consumers. The focus will be on achieving economic benefits for American consumers and businesses.
6. “Inflation is Down But Not Out”
While inflation is expected to decrease, Tom predicts that it will remain stubbornly above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. This lingering inflation may impact interest rate decisions, keeping financial pressures on consumers and businesses.
5. Mortgages Won’t Drop Below 6.25%
30-year fixed mortgage rates for creditworthy buyers are unlikely to drop below 6.25%. The housing market will remain tight, with low inventory and limited refinancing opportunities, making renting a more attractive option for many.
4. “Buy Now, Poor Later” – BNPL Defaults Will Surge
Defaults on BNPL purchases will reach record levels, driven by high consumer debt and low savings rates. Increased regulation and scrutiny of BNPL services are expected as financial institutions adapt to rising delinquencies.
3. Nvidia “Grows Into Its Shoes”
Nvidia, a major player in AI, will see a more moderate growth rate of 25% in 2025 as it “grows into its shoes.” While demand for AI tools will remain robust, the company’s stock will stabilize after its previous explosive growth.
2. The S&P 500 Will Go Up to 6,600
The S&P 500 is predicted to reach 6,600, reflecting a 10% increase but signaling a return to market normalcy. The influence of major tech companies, such as the “Magnificent 7,” will moderate.
1. Elon Musk Makes a Play for TikTok
In a bold prediction, Tom suggests that Elon Musk might attempt to acquire TikTok. Such a move would align TikTok with Musk’s platform, X, creating a powerful digital advertising ecosystem while addressing concerns over TikTok’s Chinese ownership.
These predictions capture key trends shaping 2025, emphasizing energy innovation, AI development, financial markets, and corporate maneuvering. Whether it’s the resurgence of nuclear power or Musk’s potential acquisition of TikTok, Tom’s insights highlight the dynamic changes ahead in the business world.
