5. Galaxy Digital (NASDAQ:GLXY)
Galaxy Digital surged for a 5th consecutive day on Thursday, climbing 11.32 percent to close at $21.15 apiece after announcing an ambitious goal of developing “multi-hundred-billion-dollar” worth of digital infrastructure assets as it eyes capturing a significant share in the rapidly growing AI.
In its first annual report with the Nasdaq, Galaxy Digital (NASDAQ:GLXY) said that among its planned assets, its flagship data center called Helios would represent an investment worth more than $15 billion, making it an asset “with durable, high-return
characteristics for shareholders.”
Helios was approved to develop 1.6 GW of capacity to power the next generation of AI and high-performance computing.
“Demand for compute is not a cycle. It is a structural condition that will define the next decade. We intend to be one of the companies that meet it,” the company said.
In other news, Galaxy Digital (NASDAQ:GLXY) last month pulled out of the Toronto Stock Exchange to focus on its listing with the Nasdaq.
It said that the withdrawal was aimed at focusing on its listing on the Nasdaq, where the majority of its average daily trading volume is executed on the said Exchange.
The initiative would also help slash its expenses and administrative requirements associated with its dual listing.
4. Brown-Forman Corporation (NYSE:BF.B)
Brown-Forman grew its share prices by 12.89 percent on Thursday to close at $30.31 apiece as investors positioned portfolios following news that it received a new takeover interest from US spirits maker Sazerac.
According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Sazerac is setting its sights on Brown-Forman Corporation (NYSE:BF.B) following confirmation that it was in talks with Pernod Ricard for a potential merger. Sazerac declined to comment on WSJ’s request for confirmation.
Investors took the news positively, as any bidding war between the two suitors could help propel Brown-Forman Corporation’s (NYSE:BF.B) shares higher.
Last month, Brown-Forman Corporation (NYSE:BF.B) confirmed that it was in talks with Pernod Ricard for a potential merger, albeit a deal with the latter was not guaranteed, as it continues to explore and evaluate strategic opportunities.
“If agreed and subject to customary approvals, this partnership would be akin to a merger of equals, drawing from the talent and expertise of both companies, and creating value for shareholders,” Brown-Forman Corp. (NYSE:BF-B) said.
“Synergies from the contemplated combination are expected to be significant, creating a global spirits leader with enhanced scale, a powerful brand portfolio, and a balanced geographic footprint, all anchored by two iconic families,” it added.
3. AXT Inc. (NASDAQ:AXTI)
AXT extended its winning streak to a third straight day on Thursday, climbing 18.69 percent to finish at $63.12 apiece, as investor confidence was boosted by the easing Middle East tensions and the renewed optimism for the broader semiconductor industry.
According to the company, it was upbeat about its outlook for the first quarter of the year amid the progress on its export permits early in the period, which is expected to support the strong demand for indium phosphide as data center operators continue with their AI infrastructure build-out.
Indium phosphide is a high-performance semiconductor primarily used for high-speed electronics, optoelectronics, and photonics, and is crucial for various industries, including fiber optic communications, mobile networks, automotive lidars, and laser technologies, among others.

2. York Space Systems Inc. (NYSE:YSS)
York Space soared by 28.84 percent on Thursday to finish at $36.01 apiece as investor appetite grew for space stocks, supported by SpaceX’s plan to implement the largest initial public offering (IPO) in history.
Last month, SpaceX officially submitted its prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission, aiming to raise $75 billion in fresh funds targeting a valuation close to $2 trillion.
The IPO value sparked a vote of confidence for the broader space industry, thus spilling over to other listed players including York Space Systems Inc. (NYSE:YSS).
Additionally, investor optimism was helped by the growing demand for defense products and services amid ongoing global conflicts.
York Space Systems Inc. (NYSE:YSS) is a company engaged in developing satellites for military and national security missions. Its key customers include the US government and defense agencies.
