Based on data from Bloomberg, US natural gas futures were down by 0.03 percent $3.32/MMBtu, reversing some of last week’s gains due to higher supply and weak demand from the cooling weather.
Month-to-date, prices of natural gas prices are down by 3 percent, while year-to-date also marked a decline of 15.4 percent.
Last week, EQT Corp. (NYSE:EQT) announced that its Board of Directors approved the distribution of $0.1575 cash dividends to shareholders as of August 6. The dividends will be payable on September 2, 2025.

9. NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE:SMR)
NuScale Power snapped an eight-day winning streak on Monday, dropping 9.57 percent on Monday to close at $45.44 apiece as investors resorted to profit-taking to take advantage of the intra-day rally.
During the session, NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE:SMR) touched a new all-time high of $50.94, but investors turned sellers to pull the company’s price back to the $45 level.
The recent rally can be attributed to the continuous advancements in the artificial intelligence sector, thanks to strong backing from President Donald Trump.
NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE:SMR) is set to announce the results of its earnings performance for the second quarter of the year on August 8.
Investors will be closely watching for any cues of deals with companies following Trump’s signing of an executive order in May that aims to quadruple the nuclear power industry in the US to 400 GW by 2050.
8. Antero Resources Corporation (NYSE:AR)
Antero Resources fell by 10.47 percent on Monday, a second day, to end at $32.51 apiece as investors were disheartened by the continued weakness in natural gas prices.
Based on data from Bloomberg, US natural gas futures were down by 0.03 percent $3.32/MMBtu, reversing some of last week’s gains due to higher supply and weak demand from the cooling weather.
Month-to-date, prices of natural gas prices are down by 3 percent, while year-to-date also marked a decline of 15.4 percent.

7. Redwire Corporation (NYSE:RDW)
Redwire Corporation ended three consecutive days of gains on Monday, dropping 10.51 percent to close at $17.37 apiece as investors resorted to profit-taking while repositioning portfolios ahead of its second quarter earnings results.

The Blue List selection was an important milestone as it meant meeting stringent cybersecurity, NDAA-compliance, and operational requirements.
“As the White House looks to advance the domestic commercialization of UAS technologies at scale and ramp up domestic production, Redwire is positioned at the forefront of strengthening our nation’s drone industrial base and delivering unmatched capabilities to the US warfighter,” Redwire Corporation (NYSE:RDW) Chairman and CEO Peter Cannito said.
6. Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE:ACHR)
Archer Aviation declined for a second day on Monday, losing 10.84 percent to close at $11.85 each, as investors disposed of shares following a US judge’s ruling to allow a lawsuit against the company to move forward.
The case stemmed from shareholder allegations that Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE:ACHR) misled shareholders about how far along it was in developing its aircraft.
Additionally, sentiment was dampened by one of its backers’ decision to pull out from its hydrogen fuel cell technology development plans.
Last week, Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) said that the termination was due to the lack of developments in the sector, particularly hydrogen refueling infrastructure, high capital requirements, and the need for stronger consumer purchasing incentives.
The cancellation raised fears that the company will reduce its support for Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE:ACHR).
Based on its historical reporting dates, Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE:ACHR) is expected to announce the results of its second quarter performance in the second week of August 2025.
5. Bruker Corporation (NASDAQ:BRKR)
Bruker Corp. dropped its share prices by 12.12 percent on Monday to end at $35.63 apiece following the announcement of disappointing preliminary results for the second quarter of the year.
In a statement, Bruker Corporation (NASDAQ:BRKR) said that revenues during the period were expected to settle at $795 million to $798 million, which suggests a flat performance from the same period last year.
Second quarter 2025 bookings reflected weak academic demand, as well as softness in the US biopharma market.
Non-GAAP earnings per share were also expected to settle between $0.32 and $0.34, representing a $0.19 per share decline year-over-year, including a $0.06 foreign currency headwind.

Bruker Corporation (NASDAQ:BRKR) said official results are scheduled for release before market open on August 4, 2025.
4. Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARWR)
Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals fell by 12.23 percent on Monday to close at $14.71 apiece as investors turned cautious amid regulatory troubles faced by one of its partners, Sarepta Therapeutics.
Last week, the FDA ordered Sarepta Therapeutics to stop selling Elevidys drugs following the death of two patients while undergoing treatment. However, Sarepta defied the orders, saying that it would continue to ship the drug to the ambulant population.
Concerns spilled over to shares of Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARWR), which has an ongoing partnership with Sarepta for the development of four drug candidates, especially since a large chunk of its revenues in the last reported quarter was tied to its partnership with the latter.
In the last reported quarter, Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARWR) swung to a net income of $370.4 million from a net loss of $125.3 million in the same period last year.
Revenues stood at $542.7 million, all of which was tied to its license and collaboration agreement with Sarepta.

1. QuantumScape Corporation (NYSE:QS)
QuantumScape snapped a nine-day winning streak on Monday, losing 14.48 percent to close at $12.52 apiece as investors officially began taking profits following the consecutive days of surge to a new all-time high while repositioning portfolios ahead of its earnings report on Wednesday.
The nine-day winning streak saw the company jump by as high as 114 percent, which investors took as an opportunity to book gains.
Investor confidence was primarily driven by QuantumScape Corporation’s (NYSE:QS) announcement last month that it would scale up its production capabilities.
Called the Cobra separator, the new process is designed to enable faster, more energy-efficient production with a smaller equipment footprint compared to earlier processes.
As compared with the prior generation Raptor process, QuantumScape Corporation (NYSE:QS) said Cobra offers a ~25x improvement in heat treatment speed and occupies a fraction of the physical space per film start—both of which are key advantages in the design of a scalable gigafactory production line.
Investors will be closely watching out for QuantumScape Corporation’s (NYSE:QS) updated outlook for the rest of the year, with a new production process now in full swing.
