10. Unusual Machines Inc. (NYSEAmerican:UMAC)
Unusual Machines saw its share prices climb to a fresh all-time high on Tuesday as investors positioned their portfolios on expectations that it would benefit from the US government’s financial backing in defense and drone makers.
In intra-day trading, the stock climbed to its highest price of $34.36 before trimming gains to finish the session just up by 15.72 percent at $33.42 apiece.

9. STMicroelectronics NV (NYSE:STM)
STMicroelectronics saw its share prices climb to a new all-time high on Tuesday, after doubling its revenue growth forecast for full-year 2026.
In intra-day trading, the stock surged to its highest price of $80.58 before paring gains to finish the session just up by 15.20 percent at $79.51 apiece.
In an updated report, STMicroelectronics NV (NYSE:STM) said that it now expects data center revenues to be at around $1 billion this year, versus the $500 million expected previously, amid the continued strong demand for its products from the AI data centers.

In the first quarter alone, STMicroelectronics NV saw net revenues grow by 23 percent to $3.095 billion from $2.517 billion in the same period last year, falling within its earlier guidance range, thanks to higher revenues from engaged customer programs in personal electronics, as well as communications, equipment, and computer peripherals.
However, net income finished lower by 33.7 percent to $37 million from $56 million year-on-year.
For the second quarter, STMicroelectronics NV is targeting to grow its revenues by 24.9 percent year-on-year to a midpoint of $3.45 billion.
8. Lightwave Logic Inc. (NASDAQ:LWLG)
Lightwave Logic saw its share prices increase by 15.43 percent on Tuesday to end at $12.72 apiece amid strong optimism for its business after Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang issued a bullish outlook for its counterpart.
At the Computex Week conference in Taipei, Taiwan, on Monday, Huang turned highly optimistic for Marvell Technology Inc., a company that manufactures silicon photonics, among others, similar to Lightwave Logic Inc.’s (NASDAQ:LWLG) business model.
In his onstage appearance, Huang said that he believes Marvell Technology holds the potential to become the “next trillion-dollar company.”
Sentiment was further buoyed by Nvidia’s earlier partnership with Marvell Technology on the development of silicon photonics, which sparked a vote of confidence for other key players.
Optimism aside, the rally in shares of Lightwave Logic Inc. can also be attributed to a bargain-hunting activity after the company finished the month of May 20 percent lower than April levels.
Lightwave Logic Inc. is a technology platform company pioneering the development of proprietary electro-optic polymers that enable ultra-high-speed data transmission with low power consumption and compact form factors. These materials power next-generation photonic devices for telecommunications, data centers, and emerging AI infrastructure.
7. Wolfspeed Inc. (NYSE:WOLF)
Wolfspeed bounced back by 15.32 percent on Tuesday to close at $61.06 apiece, as investors resorted to bargain-hunting following the previous day’s losses, while digesting its ongoing expansion efforts.
In a statement on Monday, Wolfspeed Inc. (NYSE:WOLF) said that it is opening a new regional office in the San Francisco Bay Area and launching a dedicated team to enable closer alignment with leading hyperscalers, original design manufacturers, and the entire ecosystem to build differentiated products and solutions for AI and other data center applications.
Wolfspeed Inc. said that the expansion program builds on its confidence that demand for next-generation data center power architecture innovations continues to be strong. It said the move effectively positions itself to deliver high-voltage SiC power solutions engineered to drastically reduce energy loss and maximize efficiency for modern AI infrastructure.
“The sheer scale of AI computing demands a fundamental rewrite of data center power architecture,” Wolfspeed Inc. CEO Robert Feurle said.
“Moving to higher voltages is no longer optional—it’s a necessity. With our new data center solutions team at the epicenter of tech innovation, Wolfspeed is uniquely positioned to deliver the high-voltage solutions our hyperscaler and ODM partners need to build the efficient data centers of tomorrow,” he noted.
6. T1 Energy Inc. (NYSE:TE)
T1 Energy snapped a three-day losing streak on Tuesday to hit a new three-year high, as investors resumed buying positions on expectations of a strong second-quarter performance across the broader sector.
In intra-day trading, T1 Energy Inc. (NYSE:TE) jumped to a record high of $12.25 before trimming gains to finish the session just up by 15.66 percent at $12.04 apiece.
The rally can be primarily attributed to the looming July 4 deadline for a federal tax incentive on solar projects, as businesses are expected to scramble to safe-harbor equipment before the cutoff to qualify for a 30 percent incentive. This, in turn, could bolster demand and sales for the quarter.
Further buoying sentiment was an earlier regulatory filing from T1 Energy Inc. that its Chinese shareholder, Trina Solar, disposed of another $190.3 million of its stake on May 21 and 22, involving 22.5 million shares at prices between $7.74 and $9.43 apiece.
The transaction effectively brought Trina Owner’s ownership in the company to 10 percent, covering 30.6 million shares.
The sale followed a short seller report by Fuzzy Panda, which claimed that T1 Energy Inc. was not compliant with the FEOC regulations and thus not eligible for tax credits from the US government.
According to the report, T1 Energy Inc.’s sale of intellectual property to Singaporean firm Evervolt was designed to achieve FEOC compliance, but the latter failed to disclose connections with Trina Solar.
Fuzzy Panda claimed that Evervolt, owned by Tan Chin Piaw, has maintained business relationships with Trina Solar for more than 15 years, and that 99 percent of its revenues came from the latter.
5. Coherent Corp. (NYSE:COHR)
Shares in Coherent Corp. climbed to a fresh all-time high on Tuesday, as investors poured funds into AI players following Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang’s highly optimistic outlook for its counterpart.
In intra-day trading, the stock surged to its highest price of $433.69 before paring gains to end the session just up by 17.63 percent at $426.89 apiece.
Coherent Corp. (NYSE:COHR) mimicked the rally in its peers after Huang deemed Marvell Technology’s business critical in the growth and development of the artificial intelligence sector.
He said that Marvell holds the potential to become the “next trillion-dollar company.”
Similar to Marvell’s business model, Coherent Corp. is also engaged in the AI networking and optical interconnect market. Investors quickly placed their bets on its stock on expectations that the strong demand would spill over to the overall sector.
In other news, Coherent Corp. last month received an optimistic coverage from Bank of America, upgrading its price target by 9 percent to $400 from $365 previously.
4. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (NYSE:HPE)
Hewlett-Packard extended its winning streak to a fourth consecutive day on Tuesday, soaring to a new all-time high as investors took heart from its second-quarter earnings blowout, while positioning portfolios ahead of its dividend cutoff.
In intra-day trading, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (NYSE:HPE) surged to its highest price of $64.25 before paring gains to end the session just up by 19.47 percent at $56.15 apiece.
The rally was primarily driven by its $1.018 billion net income attributable to shareholders in the first six months of the year, reversing a $481 million net loss in the same period.
Net revenues surged by 29 percent to $19.98 billion from $15.48 billion year-on-year.
In the second quarter alone, attributable net income stood at $595 million, reversing a $1.079 billion net loss in the same quarter last year.

3. Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:MRVL)
Marvell Technology climbed to a new all-time high on Tuesday as investors took heart from Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang’s optimism that it could become the next trillion-dollar company.
In intra-day trading, the stock soared to its highest price of $291.30 before paring gains to end the session just up by 32.52 percent at $290.79 apiece.
Huang said in an onstage appearance at the Computex Week in Taipei, Taiwan, on Monday that Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:MRVL) could become the “next trillion-dollar company” amid its networking and connectivity chips essential to the data centers where computing tasks are spread across thousands of connected chips that need to share data quickly.
“When you take a computing problem, and you disaggregate it into a lot of parts, and you distribute it across the entire data center, what’s necessary is connectivity…that’s the reason why Marvel is so essential,” Huang said.
Optimism was further supported by Nvidia’s earlier backing of Marvell Technology Inc., having invested $2 billion in the latter and joined forces to connect their technology through NVIDIA NVLink Fusion, offering customers building on the Nvidia infrastructures a greater choice and flexibility in developing next-generation infrastructure.
The companies are also collaborating on the development of silicon photonics technology.
2. Legend Biotech Corp. (NASDAQ:LEGN)
Legend Biotech snapped a four-day losing streak on Tuesday, jumping 42.22 percent to close at $36.28 apiece following the strong first phase results of its cancer treatment candidate, which saw as much as a 100 percent response rate in enrolled patients.
In an updated report, Legend Biotech Corp. (NASDAQ:LEGN) said that all six patients enrolled in the study to test the efficacy of LB2501 in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma fully responded to the higher dose level of the treatment, while five achieved a complete response, which means that no detectable signs of cancer remained.
LB2501 is designed to infuse CAR-T cells directly into the patient’s body via a single IV. It is expected to treat faster and be less expensive than the traditional CAR-T therapies, which require a patient’s cells to be collected first and engineered in laboratories and infused back weeks later.
Legend Biotech Corp. also said that the therapy candidate showed no serious adverse effects or deaths.
The company is scheduled to present additional data at the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2026 Congress in Stockholm, Sweden, on June 11 to 14.
“The upcoming presentation of Phase 1 LB2501 data in patients with B-cell malignancies represents an important step in advancing in vivo CAR-T approaches,” Legend Biotech Corp. CEO Ying Huang said.
“By generating CAR-T cells directly within the patient, this approach has the potential to simplify treatment delivery and expand access for patients who may not be able to receive traditional CAR-T cell therapies. LB2501 is built on the TaVec platform, which is a proprietary lentiviral vector engineered to enhance T-cell specificity, transduction efficiency, and safety, while restricting transduction of non-T cells.”
1. Victoria’s Secret & Co. (NYSE:VSXY)
Victoria’s Secret bounced back on Tuesday to hit a new all-time high, after posting stellar earnings in the first quarter of the year and raising its growth outlook for the full-year period.
In intra-day trading, the stock jumped to its highest price of $81.25 before trimming gains to finish the session just up by 47.07 percent at $79.76 apiece.
In its earnings call on the same day, Victoria’s Secret & Co. said that it swung to an attributable net income of $47.69 million during the period from a $1.6 million attributable net loss in the same quarter last year.
Net sales amounted to $1.56 billion, marking a 15.3 percent jump from the $1.353 billion year-on-year, and exceeding its earlier guidance of $1.49 billion to $1.525 billion.
Total comparable sales also increased by 13 percent.
“Our first quarter results reflect disciplined execution across the business, including broad-based gross margin improvement, driven by higher regular-price selling, reduced promotions, and leveraging our buying and occupancy expenses, all despite tariff headwinds,” said Victoria’s Secret & Co. Chief Financial and Operating Officer Scott Sekella.
“Given our strong first quarter performance and continued momentum in the business, we are raising our fiscal 2026 outlook and remain confident in our ability to drive profitable growth,” he added.
Following the results, Victoria’s Secret & Co. raised its net sales growth outlook for the full-year period to a range of $7.03 billion to $7.13 billion, versus $6.85 billion to $6.95 billion previously. The higher figures would imply a 7 to 8.8 percent jump from the $6.553 billion last year.
For the second quarter alone, net sales are expected to be $1.59 billion to $1.615 billion, or growth of 9 to 10.6 percent as compared with $1.459 billion in the same period last year.
