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.

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.

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.
