5. SK Telecom Ltd. (NYSE:SKM)
SK Telecom soared to a new four-year high on Monday, after being named as a key partner of Nvidia Corp. in the development of a semiconductor company’s digital twin using its 3D virtual design platform.
In intra-day trading, the stock surged to a record high of $44.79 before trimming a few cents to end the session just up by 18.99 percent at $44.43 apiece.
In a keynote speech at the GTC Taipei in Taiwan, Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang underscored SK Telecom Ltd.’s (NYSE:SKM) successful development of SK Hynix’s digital twin of a semiconductor factory using its design platform “Omniverse.”
A digital twin is a technology that allows the implementation of actual factories and equipment in a virtual space to simulate changes and arrange equipment, as well as allow testing of various scenarios virtually, reducing trial and error and aiding data-driven decision-making.
During the process, SK Telecom Ltd. (NYSE:SKM) said that it developed an Agentic Digital Twin Modeling technology, which utilizes Nvidia’s AI tools to convert and process manufacturing site equipment into a digital twin environment.
Following the successful development, SK Telecom Ltd. (NYSE:SKM) announced plans to further expand the application of digital twin technology.
“We will expand our role in collaboration with NVIDIA across various manufacturing industries, including semiconductors,” said Cho Ik-hwan, head of the company’s Physical AI division.
4. Twilio Inc. (NYSE:TWLO)
Twilio Inc. rallied to a new four-year high on Monday, as investors took heart from TD Cowen’s reaffirmed bullish rating and outlook for the company, saying that it is now tracking the path towards growth.
In intra-day trading, the stock climbed to a record high of $231.36 before trimming gains to end the session just up by 19.36 percent at $227.54 apiece.
In a market note, TD Cowen reiterated its “buy” recommendation and $210 price target on shares of Twilio Inc. (NYSE:TWLO), citing its completion of a three-year restructuring period and its shift toward AI-driven revenue growth. The figure marked a 10 percent upside potential from its $190.64 close on Friday, but was 7.7 percent lower than the $227.54 closing price on Monday.
Part of the corporate structuring includes slashing its headcount following the software sector’s expansion in 2021, as well as cost discipline measures and bringing in new leadership focused on organic innovation and profit growth.
Apart from TD Cowen, Bank of America also last week maintained a bullish rating for Twilio Inc. (NYSE:TWLO), having reaffirmed its buy recommendation at a higher price target of $235.
Twilio Inc. (NYSE:TWLO) is a cloud communications platform-as-a-service company that enables businesses and software developers to build and integrate real-time communications directly into their mobile and web applications.
In the first quarter of the year, it reported a stellar 350 percent jump in net income at $90 million versus only $20 million in the same period last year. Revenues also increased by 19.6 percent to $1.4 billion from $1.17 billion year-on-year.
3. MongoDB Inc. (NASDAQ:MDB)
MongoDB extended its winning streak to a third consecutive day on Monday, jumping 20.36 percent to finish at $403.88 apiece, as investors took heart from an investment firm’s price target upgrade for its stock.
In a market note, UBS raised its price target for MongoDB Inc. (NASDAQ:MDB) by 27 percent to $350 from $275 previously, despite maintaining a neutral stance for its stock. The figure, however, marked a 13.3 percent discount from its latest closing price.
The coverage followed MongoDB Inc.’s (NASDAQ:MDB) earnings performance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, having swung to a profit of $4.4 million from a $37.6 million net loss in the same period last year.
Revenues increased by 25 percent to $687.6 million from $549 million year-on-year, thanks to a 25 percent jump in subscription revenues and a 22 percent surge in service revenues.
Despite the results, UBS said that its neutral stance for the company was due to the belief that the results leave a little room for a meaningful follow-through rally.
Looking ahead, MongoDB Inc. (NASDAQ:MDB) is targeting revenues of $729 million to $734 million in the second quarter of the fiscal year, or an implied growth of 23 percent to 24 percent from the $591.4 million posted in the same period last year.
2. Taylor Morrison Home Corp. (NYSE:TMHC)
Taylor Morrison snapped a two-day losing streak on Monday, soaring 22.31 percent to finish at $71.55 apiece, following news that Warren Buffett-led Berkshire Hathaway is taking the company private for a total of $6.8 billion.
In a statement on the same day, Taylor Morrison Home Corp. (NYSE:TMHC) said that it officially inked a definitive agreement with Berkshire Hathaway for the sale of all of its shares at a price of $72.50 apiece for a total equity value of $6.8 billion and an enterprise value of $8.5 billion.
“Joining Berkshire Hathaway is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to propel Taylor Morrison into its next, and most exciting, chapter, supported by Berkshire’s unmatched capital strength and long-term investment philosophy,” Taylor Morrison Home Corp. (NYSE:TMHC) Chairman and CEO Sheryl Palmer said.
“Over the last 13 years as a public company, we built a track record of strategic growth—expanding our geographic footprint, integrating acquisitions with discipline, and deepening our competitive strengths across procurement, brand, and customer experience. Berkshire Hathaway’s long-term orientation is uniquely well-suited to the multi-year investment cycle of homebuilding, and this combination will allow us to scale the Taylor Morrison platform in ways that would not be possible as a standalone company,” she noted.
The transaction is expected to close in the second half of the year, subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of Taylor Morrison Home Corp.’s (NYSE:TMHC) shareholders. Upon completion, it will cease to trade on the New York Stock Exchange.
1. Fluence Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:FLNC)
Fluence Energy saw its share prices climb by 43.80 percent on Monday to close at $27.15 apiece, as investors cheered its increasing role in the artificial intelligence sector with its role in the development of a next-generation platform to support the efficiency and reliability of data centers.
In a statement, Fluence Energy Inc.

“By providing essential capabilities like voltage and frequency ride through, black start, grid demand response, and AI load smoothing, we are enabling our customers to build the AI factories of the future, faster and more reliably,” he noted.
