10. Lumen Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:LUMN)

Lumen Technologies snapped a three-day losing streak on Monday, adding 7.61 percent to close at $4.24 apiece as investors cheered its AI-powered typhoon readiness measures.

In a statement, Lumen Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:LUMN) said it leverages AI-powered automation, geospatial intelligence, and strategic field staging to proactively mitigate risks to service continuity.

AI and machine learning are adopted, vital to support real-time storm tracking, path prediction, and infrastructure risk modeling to help the company anticipate threats and allocate resources.

Its team also uses geospatial tools such as advanced layer maps to assess vulnerability, prioritize asset protection, and respond faster.

“Our enterprise customers depend on uninterrupted connectivity to run their operations—even in the face of natural disasters,” said Chris Noble, Lumen Technologies, Inc.’s (NYSE:LUMN) SVP for service assurance.

“If an uncontrollable event occurs, we are well prepared with the full force of our Lumen resources to respond, restore, and communicate with our customers.”

9. BRF S.A. (NYSE:BRFS)

BRF saw its share prices increase by 7.78 percent on Monday to close at $3.88 apiece as investors repositioned portfolios ahead of the new schedule for the recently postponed shareholders’ meeting, where a merger deal is expected to be voted.

Originally scheduled on June 18, BRF S.A.’s (NYSE:BRFS) stockholders’ meeting was postponed after the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) received two requests regarding the shareholder meeting—one to call off and one to postpone.

The securities watchdog said it rejected the request to completely cancel the meeting, citing a lack of reason to justify the action. However, it granted the request to postpone the meeting for a 21-day period.

Marfrig is the majority stakeholder of BRF S.A. (NYSE:BRFS), with both firms sharing the same chairman.

Last month, the two firms announced their intention to pursue a merger and adopt the new name, MBRF Global Foods Company.

The proposed merger has already gained the approval of the antitrust authority in Brazil.
