Whether your fortunes fell or rose in 2025 (and we hope it’s the latter!), count your blessings that you didn’t bank your business on batteries for Tesla’s Cybertruck: a South Korean company, L&F Co., has written down the value of its Tesla contract by more than 99% — another sign that Cybertruck sales are faltering. The company slashed a contract valued at nearly $3 billion in 2023 to less than the amount of the now expired EV tax credit. 

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 posted small declines on Tuesday while the Russell 2000 lagged with a drop of 0.8%. Minutes from the Fed’s December meeting showed that most of the Fed’s policymakers anticipate further rate cuts next year.

2025 was a busy year for news. What with whipsawing tariffs, booming AI data centers, driverless taxis, flying cars, weight-loss drugs, and billionaire beefs... it was a lot. As we look back on this eventful year that broke all the rules, we dug into our archives to find the charts and visualizations that we made to help break it all down for you, our dear readers. 

It’s so much that we’ve got one highlight from each section here for you, but there’s much more to dig into in the online version here.
