1️⃣ $SNDK up 13% alongside the broader memory complex as AI-driven NAND demand and tight supply remain strong, with Nvidia’s $12.9B Hugging Face acquisition also reinforcing the AI infrastructure trade.
2️⃣ $TSLA down 5% after the Cybercab launch disappointed investors and the NHTSA opened a formal safety audit into roughly 1,000 vehicles, adding fresh regulatory risk to the autonomous-driving story.
3️⃣ $INTC up 4% amid renewed analyst optimism and buying activity.
4️⃣ $LULU down 17% after Q2 revenue fell 4%, comparable sales dropped 9%, and the company cut its full-year outlook as weaker consumer demand weighs on the business.
5️⃣ $BE up 7% on speculation that it could be added to the S&P 500 in the upcoming September rebalance, which could create incremental demand from index funds.
6️⃣ $CBRS up 10% on enthusiasm around its AI infrastructure expansion, particularly its newly announced 165-MW Finland data center backed by seven-year contracted capacity agreements.

8️⃣ $ALAB up 9% as investors rotate back into AI infrastructure names and focus on its strong Q3 outlook, which calls for roughly 40% sequential revenue growth driven by the Scorpio X-Series ramp.
9️⃣ $PATH down 16% despite beating revenue expectations because ARR growth remains only 12% and net-new ARR slowed to $37M, raising concerns that its AI strategy still isn't producing the hoped-for growth acceleration.
🔟 $CRWV up 6% after CNBC's Jim Cramer called it his preferred neocloud play, reinforcing bullish sentiment around the AI-compute provider despite ongoing concerns over heavy capital spending.

1️⃣ $LULU down 19% after its Q2 report showed revenue of about $2.42B, below the $2.46B estimate, with the company continuing to struggle in North America and investors focusing on weak growth and another disappointing outlook, despite an EPS beat helped substantially by tariff refunds.

6️⃣ $SNOW up 16% after a blowout Q2 earnings report showed 35% revenue growth, accelerating product revenue and a major increase in FY2027 guidance as AI adoption drives stronger-than-expected demand.
7️⃣ $HOOD up 16% as strong trading activity, growing prediction-market adoption and bullish analyst sentiment combine with the broader crypto rally to reinforce expectations for accelerating transaction and platform revenue.
8️⃣ $HPE up 5% as investors digest a strong earnings report showing 34% revenue growth, a 42% increase in orders and booming AI-server demand, while management simultaneously raised its full-year growth and EPS outlook.

🔟 $BMNR up 14% as Ethereum rallies alongside Bitcoin, with the company’s enormous $ETH treasury making $BMNR a high-beta leveraged play on the crypto move and its holdings now exceeding 5.9 million ETH.
