10. Venture Global Inc. (NYSE:VG)

Venture Global rallied for a second day on Tuesday, clocking 6.78 percent gains to close at $7.88 apiece as investors resumed buying positions amid the stronger demand for energy during the winter season.

Traders typically believe a seasonal strength in the energy sector during the winter season as households and businesses ramp up their power consumption for their heating needs. In turn, this results in stronger demand for natural gas exports.

Tuesday’s rally reflected strong confidence for Venture Global Inc. (NYSE:VG) in the first quarter of the year, despite lowering anew on Monday its adjusted EBITDA forecast for the fourth quarter and full-year 2025.

In a regulatory filing, Venture Global Inc. (NYSE:VG) said that it further lowered its adjusted EBITDA forecast to a range of $6.18 billion to $6.24 billion, versus $6.35 billion to $6.5 billion previously.

During the period, it also exported 128 cargos from its LNG facilities, selling as much as 478.3 trillion British thermal units (BTUs) at an implied average price of $5.15 per MMBtus.

Official results are expected to be released in the second week of February 2025.

9. Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC)

Intel Corp. soared to a nearly two-year high on Tuesday, as investors took path from an investment firm’s bullish outlook for its stock.

At intra-day trading, the stock jumped to its highest price of $48.24 before trimming gains to finish the session just up by 7.33 percent at $47.29 apiece.

In a market report, KeyBanc issued an “overweight” recommendation on shares of Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. on the back of stronger-than-expected data center demand and tighter memory supply in the semiconductor industry.

Having already sold out its server CPUs in 2026, Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) alone received a $60 price target from KeyBanc, marking a 27 percent upside potential from its latest closing price, due to a strong demand from hyperscalers which is already disrupting supply chains and pushing DRAM and NAND prices higher to as much as 10 to 15 percent.

Additionally, KeyBanc said that it also took into account the company’s improving manufacturing yields, noting that Intel’s 18A process is now more than 60 percent and good enough to ramp up Panther Lake.

After market close next Thursday, January 22, Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) is set to release the results of its earnings performance for the fourth quarter and full-year 2025. Investors will also closely watch out for the company’s business outlook for 2026.

In a statement, Option Care Health Inc. (NASDAQ:OPCH) said that it is gunning for net revenues between $5.645 billion and $5.655 billion for the said period, or the higher end of its earlier guidance range of $5.60 billion to $5.65 billion.

7. ImmunityBio Inc. (NASDAQ:IBRX)

ImmunityBio extended its winning streak to an 8^th straight day on Tuesday, jumping 8.88 percent to finish at $2.82 apiece as investors cheered positive results from its clinical trial of Anktiva in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor on patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

In an updated report, ImmunityBio Inc. (NASDAQ:IBRX) said that Anktiva plus CPI showed statistically significant immune restoration and a consistent association between lymphocyte recovery and improved survival across 151 patients enrolled in two studies.

Checkpoint inhibitors such as pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and nivolumab (Opdivo) have transformed the treatment landscape for lung cancer. However, ImmunityBio Inc. (NASDAQ:IBRX) said that clinical benefit is often transient, and effective treatment options remain limited once patients progress following standard-of-care chemo-radiation and checkpoint inhibition.

ImmunityBio Inc. (NASDAQ:IBRX) said that detailed results from both studies are being prepared for peer-review publication and future scientific presentations and serve as foundational safety and efficacy data demonstrating meaningful clinical benefit in patients with NSCLC who have failed all standards of care including checkpoint inhibitors.

6. T1 Energy Inc. (NYSE:TE)

T1 Energy soared to an over two-year high on Tuesday, as investors took heart from an analyst’s bullish outlook on its partnership with Nextracker Inc.

At intra-day trading, the stock jumped to a new high of $8.51 before paring gains to finish the session just up by 9.02 percent at $7.86 apiece.

This followed a market report from Zacks Research, saying that T1 Energy Inc.’s (NYSE:TE) multi-gigawatt solar module frame supply agreement with Nextracker Inc. last October would help accelerate the industry’s shift from imported aluminum frames toward US-made, specialty steel alternatives, supporting domestic demand for more durable solar technologies.

Under the agreement, T1 Energy Inc. (NYSE:TE) would use Nextracker’s patented steel module frame technology for its 5 GW solar manufacturing facility in Dallas, Texas.

In other news, T1 Energy Inc. (NYSE:TE) recently implemented a broader restructuring initiative in a bid to comply with US government laws and continue its qualification for the 2026 tax credits.

Signed into law last July, the OBBBA restricts companies with excessive foreign ownership from receiving 45X tax credits, particularly those tied to what the US identified as “prohibited foreign entities” such as those from China, North Korea, Russia, and Iran.

Additionally, tax credits received by the eligible companies are not allowed to be sold or transferred to PFEs.

At intra-day trading, Warby Parker Inc. (NYSE:WRBY) climbed to as much as $30, just $1 shy of its 52-week high of $31, following news that Meta Platforms and EssilorLuxottica are ramping up production for their AI-powered glasses by the end of the year to meet strong demand.

Optimism dribbled into Warby Parker Inc. (NYSE:WRB), which is also set to unveil its own AI glasses, in partnership with Google, sometime this year. The product would incorporate multimodal AI with prescription and non-prescription lenses.

At the same time, we reduced our annual operating expenses by approximately $2 billion, significantly exceeding the financial cost reduction commitments we set at the start of the year,” said Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) CEO Stephane Bancel.

“We remain focused on our strategy to build a large seasonal vaccine franchise for at-risk populations, creating a strong cash engine to fund our next phase of innovation in oncology and rare disease. We expect this approach to support up to 10 percent revenue growth in 2026, as we further reduce costs, expand our commercial portfolio with approvals of additional seasonal vaccines, and anticipate multiple clinical data catalysts driven by our late-stage oncology pipeline.”
