5. ServiceNow Inc. (NYSE:NOW)

ServiceNow jumped by 5.59 percent on Monday to close at $104.97 apiece, as investors resorted to bargain-hunting after the previous session’s fall to be just a few cents shy of its 52-week low.

Last Friday, ServiceNow Inc. (NYSE:NOW) fell to $98.34, or just 34-cents shy of its 52-week low of $98, after tracking last week’s broader market pessimism.

Further dragging sentiment were uncertainties on the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, as investors turned more cautious about its impact on the global economy.

In other news, ServiceNow Inc. (NYSE:NOW) last week maintained its “outperform” rating from FBN Securities, despite its price target being lowered by 27 percent to $160 from $220 previously.

In other news, the company deepened its partnership with Carahsoft Technology Corp. for the integration of the ServiceNow platform into the former’s full reseller ecosystem.

“By making ServiceNow available through their reseller ecosystem, across government and now into healthcare, financial services, and critical infrastructure, we’re meeting customers where they already are,” said Michael Park, SVP for Global Partnerships and Channels at ServiceNow Inc. (NYSE:NOW).

4. Unity Software Inc. (NYSE:U)

Unity Software rallied for a second day on Monday, jumping 5.60 percent to close at $20.54 apiece, as investors continued to load portfolios, buoyed by its higher revenue growth outlook for the first quarter of the year.

In an updated report last week, Unity Software Inc. (NYSE:U) said that it now expects revenues to reach $505 million to $508 million, or 3.7 percent to 5.2 percent higher than the $480 million to $490 million targeted previously.

Adjusted EBITDA is also expected to be between $130 million and $135 million, as compared with the $105 million to $110 million earlier.

The projected results were attributed to the strong performance of Unity Vector, a $155 million projected revenue from Create, and $352 million from Grow.

“Unity Vector continues to deliver robust growth each quarter, driving results meaningfully above our guidance. Today’s actions will accelerate Vector’s impact on our business, enhancing both revenue growth and profitability,” Unity Software Inc. (NYSE:U) CEO Matt Bromberg said.

Meanwhile, the company is embarking on a new growth initiative that would see its exit from two businesses, namely IronSource Ads Network and Supersonic game publishing.

Unity Software Inc. (NYSE:U) said that it is already in talks with a financial advisor to assist with the divestiture of the latter.

3. FMC Corporation (NYSE:FMC)

FMC Corporation extended its winning streak to a 7th straight day on Monday, jumping 6.66 percent to finish at $16.81 apiece, as investors gobbled up shares ahead of the cutoff date for its next dividend, while positioning portfolios ahead of its earnings outcome.

According to FMC Corporation (NYSE:FMC), it would distribute 8 cents per share to all shareholders on record as of March 31, 2026, payable on April 16.

The payment will be followed by the release of its earnings performance for the first quarter of the year, after market close on Wednesday, April 29. A conference call will be held to elaborate on the results.

For the said period, FMC Corporation (NYSE:FMC) is targeting to achieve revenues of $725 million to $775 million, excluding operations in India, or an implied decline of 5 percent from the same period a year earlier.

Adjusted EBITDA is also targeted at $45 million to $55 million, or 54 percent to 62.5 percent lower than the $120 million in the same quarter a year earlier. Adjusted loss per share is expected to be $0.32 to $0.44.

For full-year 2026, FMC Corporation (NYSE:FMC) is targeting revenues, excluding India, of $3.6 billion to $3.8 billion, or an expected decrease of 5 percent year-on-year. Adjusted EBITDA is targeted at $670 million to $730 million, marking a 17 percent decline from the year prior, mainly due to lower prices.

Costs are expected to be favorable as lower manufacturing costs more than offset approximately $20 million of additional tariff charges and higher selling, general, and administrative costs, while foreign exchange is expected to be a headwind.

2. Alcoa Corp. (NYSE:AA)

Alcoa rallied for a second day on Monday, jumping 8.23 percent to finish at $63.22 apiece, as investors loaded portfolios on growing supply concerns after a missile attack from Iran that hit two aluminum producers.

Alcoa Corp. (NYSE:AA) rallied alongside its aluminum counterparts, including Century Aluminum, as investors bet that a slash in global aluminum supply could spark higher prices, thus increasing profit margins for the producers.

According to data from Trading Economics, prices of aluminum on Monday have gone up by 4.77 percent to $3,431.50 following the attack.

In other news, Alcoa Corp. (NYSE:AA) said that it is scheduled to release the results of its earnings performance in the first quarter of 2026 after market close on April 16. A conference call will be held to discuss the results.

For the period, Alcoa Corp. (NYSE:AA) expects a sequential unfavorable impact of $30 million in adjusted EBITDA for the alumina segment due to cyclicality, as well as lower shipments, price, and volume from bauxite offtake and supply agreements.

For the aluminum segment alone, it also targets to incur a $70 million negative impact from the absence of Spain and Norway carbon dioxide compensation recognized in the fourth quarter of 2025 and higher production costs associated with the restart of the San Ciprián smelter.

1. Bath & Body Works Inc. (NYSE:BBWI)

Bath & Body Works snapped a two-day losing streak on Monday, jumping 11.13 percent to close at $18.67 apiece, as investors loaded portfolios on optimism for its partnership for Mother’s Day.

Earlier this month, Bath & Body Works Inc. (NYSE:BBWI) inked a deal with Vera Bradley for the launch of a limited edition product range for Mother’s Day, under which three exclusive scents featuring notes of peach nectar, golden freesia, and sweet beechwood will be launched. The fragrance will be available in perfume, body care, and home fragrance forms, as well as home decor and accessories.

Bath & Body Works Inc. (NYSE:BBWI) said that the line will roll out later in the year and is expected to reach more than 40 markets.

In other news, Bath & Body Works Inc. (NYSE:BBWI) last year dropped its net income by 18.67 percent to $649 million from $798 million in 2024. Net sales were flat at $7.3 billion.

In the fourth quarter alone, net income increased by 11 percent to $403 million from $453 million, while net sales dipped by 2.3 percent to $2.72 billion from $2.79 billion.

While we acknowledge the potential of BBWI to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…

This prediction might not be bold at all:

A few years from now, you’ll wish you’d owned this stock.

The best part? You can discover everything about this company and its groundbreaking technology right now.

I’ve compiled everything you need to know about this groundbreaking company in a detailed, members-only report.

My name is Inan Dogan. I’m the co-founder and Research Director of Insider Monkey. I have an important message for you today.

Since March 2017, my stock picks have returned 16.5% annually. Today, I’ve found an opportunity even bigger than my British American Tobacco call.

Two years ago, Wall Street wrote off British American Tobacco (BTI) as a “melting ice cube.” The stock had crashed 40% from its peak, and consensus said the business was dying.

We looked under the cover and realized they were wrong.

We alerted our subscribers, and BTI returned 90% in just 16 months.

Now if you had invested just $10,000 in BTI in June 2024, you’d be sitting on $19,000 in October 2025.

Today, we have identified a nearly identical pattern in a digital-first giant trading at $3.

While the market panics over a surface-level revenue decline, our PhD-led research shows management has actually surgically cut $100 million in waste to focus on high-margin growth.

This pattern is a hallmark of our 16.5% annual return track record. The current opportunity offers a 400% upside potential—dwarfing even our 90% BTI return.

Get the ticker for our new “Underdog” pick and the full BTI case study for just 99 cents.
