10. Indivior PLC (NASDAQ:INDV)

Indivior PLC extended its winning streak to a third day on Thursday, jumping 16.09 percent to close at $20.20 after posting an impressive earnings performance and a higher growth outlook for the year.

Indivior PLC (NASDAQ:INDV) announced in its updated report that it swung to a net income of $18 million in the second quarter of the year from a $97 million net loss in the same period last year. Net revenues inched up by 1 percent to $302 million from $299 million year-on-year, thanks to a strong performance in its Sublocade drug, supported by stable prices from its Suboxone drugs.

For the first half, Indivior PLC (NASDAQ:INDV) recorded a $65 million net profit, reversing a $36 million net loss in the same period last year. Revenues, however, dipped by 2.6 percent to $568 million from $583 million year-on-year.

Following the promising results, the company raised its net revenue guidance for full year 2025, now at a range of $1.03 billion to $1.08 billion, versus the $955 million to $1.025 billion previously.

9. Carvana Co. (NYSE:CVNA)

Carvana soared to a new 52-week high on Thursday as investors cheered its strong earnings performance in the second quarter that largely benefited from President Donald Trump’s tariffs on automobiles during the period.

Carvana Co. (NYSE:CVNA), a retailer of used cars, soared to its highest price of $413.22 before early profit-taking pulled its share price lower to end the day just up by 16.96 percent at $390.17 apiece.

In its updated report, Carvana Co. (NYSE:CVNA) said net income in the second quarter climbed by 542 percent to $308 million from $48 million in the same period last year as US tariffs on new car imports shifted consumer demand to used vehicles.

Total revenues also increased by 42 percent to $4.84 billion from $3.41 billion, having sold 143,280 units, or a 41 percent increase from the same period last year.

While results for the second quarter were promising, Carvana Co. (NYSE:CVNA) posted a more conservative outlook for the rest of the year

For the periods between July and September, the company will continue to expect a sequential increase in retail units sold, with adjusted EBITDA of $2 to 2.2 billion for full-year 2025, versus $1.38 billion last year, “as long as the environment remains stable.”

8. Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:APLS)

Apellis Pharmaceuticals surged by 17.58 percent on Thursday to close at $22.34 apiece as investors took path from an investment firm’s price target increase for its stock.

In a market note on Wednesday, Scotiabank increased its price target for Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s (NASDAQ:APLS) stock to $22 from $20 previously, and maintained a “sector perform” rating.

The revision followed the pharmaceutical firm’s FDA approval of its Empaveli treatment for the treatment of two kidney diseases, which it said could drive uptake versus the Fabhalta drug from Novartis.

Earlier this week, Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:APLS) also earned a higher price target of $46 from Citigroup, versus the $41 previously. It also maintained a “buy” recommendation from the investment firm.

In the second quarter of the year, Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:APLS) widened its net loss by 12 percent to $42.1 million from $37.6 million in the same period last year. Total revenues ended 10.6 percent lower at $178.5 million versus $199.7 million year-on-year.

7. C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHRW)

In its earnings statement, C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHRW) said net income increased by 20.8 percent to $152 million from $126 million in the same period last year, despite total revenues declining by 7.7 percent to $4.1 billion from $4.5 billion year-on-year due to the divestment of its Europe surface transportation business and lower pricing in ocean services and fuel surcharges in truckload services.

The first half also saw the company booking a 31.3-percent jump in net income at $288 million from $219 million, despite revenues dropping by 8 percent to $8.18 billion from $8.9 billion.

“When the current transformation of C.H. Robinson began in early 2024 with the implementation of a new Lean operating model, we recognized that some people had doubts and didn’t understand how this would enable the company to change its trajectory. Now, with six consecutive quarters of consistent outperformance through the disciplined execution … there is no doubt in our minds that we are on the right path to deliver sustainable outperformance in all market cycles,” C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHRW) President and CEO Dave Bozeman said.

6. eBay Inc. (NASDAQ:EBAY)

4. Rush Street Interactive, Inc. (NYSE:RSI)

“Strength in the semiconductor market—driven by growing demand for applications such as artificial intelligence and data centers—contributed to our momentum, while bookings and backlog remained steady … We approach the remainder of fiscal 2025 with confidence in our team and business.”

For the second quarter ending September 2025, American Superconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:AMSC) expects to book $2 million in net income, with revenues between $65 million and $70 million.

2. Applied Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:APLD)

Applied Digital snapped a four-day losing streak on Thursday, jumping 31.01 percent to close at $13.14 apiece as investors took heart from its expanded lease agreement with an AI hyperscaler that could result in some $11 billion in revenues.

In a statement, Applied Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:APLD) announced that CoreWeave Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWV) exercised its lease option for an additional 150 MW of critical IT load on top of the 250 MW signed earlier, bringing the total capacity to 400 MW.

The new load would effectively raise Applied Digital Corp.’s (NASDAQ:APLD) revenues by another $4 billion to a total of $11 billion from the said contract alone.

1. Figma, Inc. (NYSE:FIG)

Newly listed Figma Inc. soared as high as 278 percent in its first day as a publicly traded company, on strong investor confidence.

During the session, Figma, Inc. (NYSE:FIG) soared to as high as $124.63 before early profit-taking persisted to end the day just up by 250 percent at $115.5.

At the close of the trading, the company was already valued at more than $45 billion.

Figma, Inc. (NYSE:FIG) initially planned to raise $1.2 billion from its IPO through the sale of nearly 37 million shares, comprised of 12.5 million new shares from the company and 24.5 million existing shares owned by certain shareholders.

In addition, some selling stockholders granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 5.5 million shares.

The IPO followed a terminated merger deal agreement with Adobe in 2023, under which the latter would have acquired the newly listed company for a mix of stock and cash consideration.

Although both parties believed in the merits and benefits of the merger, Adobe and Figma, Inc. (NYSE:FIG) mutually agreed to terminate the transaction based on a joint assessment that there was no clear path to receive necessary regulatory approvals from the European Commission and the UK Competition and Markets Authority.

While we acknowledge the potential of FIG to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than FIG and that has 100x upside potential, check out our report about this cheapest AI stock.

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…

This prediction might not be bold at all:

A few years from now, you’ll wish you’d owned this stock.

The best part? You can discover everything about this company and its groundbreaking technology right now.

I’ve compiled everything you need to know about this groundbreaking company in a detailed, members-only report.

My name is Inan Dogan. I’m the co-founder and Research Director of Insider Monkey. I have an important message for you today.

Since March 2017, my stock picks have returned 16.5% annually. Today, I’ve found an opportunity even bigger than my British American Tobacco call.

Two years ago, Wall Street wrote off British American Tobacco (BTI) as a “melting ice cube.” The stock had crashed 40% from its peak, and consensus said the business was dying.

We looked under the cover and realized they were wrong.

We alerted our subscribers, and BTI returned 90% in just 16 months.

Now if you had invested just $10,000 in BTI in June 2024, you’d be sitting on $19,000 in October 2025.

Today, we have identified a nearly identical pattern in a digital-first giant trading at $3.

While the market panics over a surface-level revenue decline, our PhD-led research shows management has actually surgically cut $100 million in waste to focus on high-margin growth.

This pattern is a hallmark of our 16.5% annual return track record. The current opportunity offers a 400% upside potential—dwarfing even our 90% BTI return.

Get the ticker for our new “Underdog” pick and the full BTI case study for just 99 cents.
