Commenting on the performance, Bloom Energy Corp. (NYSE:BE) Chairman and CEO KR Sridhar said that the company is ushering in the era of digital power for the digital age, and that it is rapidly becoming the standard and “go-to choice” for on-site power.

Following the strong results, Bloom Energy Corp. (NYSE:BE) raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to a range of $3.4 billion to $3.8 billion, versus the $3.1 billion to $3.3 billion as previously expected.

3. Extreme Networks Inc. (NASDAQ:EXTR)

Extreme Networks soared by 28.15 percent on Wednesday to finish at $21.85 apiece—a seven-month high—as investors gobbled up shares after more-than-tripling its profits in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026.

In an updated report, Extreme Networks Inc. (NASDAQ:EXTR) said that its net income for the third quarter ending March climbed by 206 percent to $10.59 million from $3.46 million in the same period last year.

Meanwhile, net revenues grew by 11 percent to $316.87 million from $284.5 million year-on-year. Of the total, product revenues were accounted for the chunk at $199 million, or 11.8 percent higher than the $178 million year-on-year.

Subscription and support revenues, on the other hand, stood at $117.5 million, or 10 percent higher than the $106 million in the same comparable period.

“Our fifth straight quarter of double-digit growth highlights strong momentum, fueled by disciplined execution, differentiated technology, and rising demand for our AI-powered platform. We’ve fully addressed our current and longer-term supply chain needs, including memory, through targeted sourcing strategies, product redesign, and strategic purchase commitments. These actions position us for continued share gains and growth,” Extreme Networks Inc. (NASDAQ:EXTR) President and CEO Ed Meyercord said.

For the fourth quarter ending June 2026, Extreme Networks Inc. (NASDAQ:EXTR) is targeting revenues of $330 million to $335 million, or an implied growth of 7 percent to 9 percent year-on-year.

The company also expects to swing to an earnings per share of $0.12 to $0.15, from a loss per share of $0.06 in the same period a year earlier.

2. The Vita Coco Company, Inc. (NASDAQ:COCO)

“Our healthy first quarter shipment performance was driven by very strong branded retail growth in all our major markets, reflective of solid underlying consumer demand and favorable promotional timing differences.

Following the results, The Vita Coco Company, Inc. (NASDAQ:COCO) raised its full-year net sales guidance to a range of $720 million to $735 million, versus $680 million to $700 million as previously projected.

1. MaxLinear Inc. (NASDAQ:MXL)

MaxLinear soared to a fresh four-year high on Wednesday, as investors resumed buying positions in semiconductor stocks, thanks to the highly optimistic outlook for the industry further strengthened by strong earnings performance from key players.

At intra-day trade, the stock surged to a record high of $71.25 before paring gains to finish the session just up by 29.82 percent at $67.52 apiece.

Optimism remained bolstered by its 43-percent growth in revenues in the first quarter of the year, at $137 million versus the $95.9 million in the same period a year earlier.

“Revenue grew 43 percent year over year, with infrastructure growing more than 130 percent to become our largest end market. This was driven primarily by strong execution and production ramps of our optical data center products at multiple hyperscale customers across scale-up and scale-out AI platforms,” he said.

Following the results, MaxLinear Inc. (NASDAQ:MXL) said that it is now at a clear inflection point in its optical data center business, marked by a step function increase in second-quarter revenues.

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.
