10 Stocks Delivering Eye-Popping Gains

5. Intuitive Machines, Inc. (NASDAQ:LUNR)

Intuitive Machines saw its share prices jump by 13.15 percent on Thursday to close at $11.36 apiece following the release of photos captured by its IM-2 lunar lander called “Athena.”

Having encountered uncertainties during its official launch in February 2025, the photos sparked investor confidence about Intuitive Machines Inc.’s (NASDAQ:LUNR) successful deployment and operations and improved confidence for future contracts.

Intuitive Machines, Inc. (NASDAQ:LUNR) launched the IM-2 Athena using its Nova-C aircraft on February 27 as part of NASA’s commercial lunar payload services.

Athena successfully reached the surface of the moon on March 6, 2025, but ended its mission the day after, following depleted power.

Athena was designed to look into the presence of lunar water ice using Prime-1, a payload of a drill and mass spectrometer.
