Quantum Computing extended its winning streak to a third consecutive day on Monday, jumping 10.87 percent to close at $19.17 apiece following its official addition to two of the Russell indices.
Effective on Monday, Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:QUBT) became an official component of the Russell 3000 Index and the small-cap Russell 2000 Index following the annual rebalancing held on May 23, 2025.
The Russell 3000 Index includes the largest 3,000 US public companies by market capitalization, while the Russell 2000 Index is a subset of the broader Russell 3000 Index limited to small-cap companies.

7. Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Company (NYSE:HPE)
Hewlett-Packard rose for a second day on Monday, adding 11.08 percent to close at $20.45 apiece as investors cheered the settlement of its legal battle with the Justice Department over its $14 billion acquisition of Juniper.
To recall, the Justice Department sued Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (NYSE:HPE) in January this year to block its acquisition of Juniper, saying that it was anti-competitive, would eliminate competition, raise prices, and reduce innovation.
The settlement, which remains subject to court approval, would force Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (NYSE:HPE) to divest its global Instant On campus and branch business.
It would also facilitate limited access to Juniper’s advanced Mist AIOps technology upon closing of the transaction.
“Our agreement with the DOJ paves the way to close HPE’s acquisition of Juniper Networks and preserves the intended benefits of this deal for our customers and shareholders, while creating greater competition in the global networking market,” said Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (NYSE:HPE) President and CEO Antonio Neri.
6. GMS Inc. (NYSE:GMS)
GMS Inc. jumped by 11.73 percent on Monday to close at $108.75 apiece following its official $5.5-billion merger with Home Depot Inc., shunning QXO Inc.’s submitted bid.
After reviewing two offers GMS Inc. (NYSE:GMS) announced that it has accepted Home Depot’s acquisition offer, saying that it deemed its offer the best for the company and its shareholders.
The acquisition will be made through the Home Depot’s specialty trade distribution subsidiary, SRS Distribution.
Under the terms, a subsidiary of SRS will conduct a tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of GMS common stock for $110 per share for a total of $5.5 billion.
“Following careful consideration of The Home Depot’s proposal, along with other potential opportunities for the company, our Board determined that this transaction is in the best interests of GMS and all of our shareholders. Not only does this outcome deliver significant and certain value to our shareholders, but it also has the added benefit of bringing GMS together with The Home Depot and SRS, where we are confident our employees will flourish, our customers and suppliers will benefit from our increased offerings and resources, and we will honor the legacy of our founders who made all of this possible,” said GMS Inc. (NYSE:GMS) Chairman John Gavin.
Meanwhile, John Turner Jr. will continue to be the company’s president and CEO as part of the SRS organization.

In a statement, Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ:HOOD) said that its Robinhood Stock Tokens are now available to customers within the European Union, giving exposure to more than 200 US stocks and ETF tokens.

3. Magnite, Inc. (NASDAQ:MGNI)
Magnite rallied for a sixth consecutive day on Monday, jumping by 14.31 percent to end at $24.12 apiece after earning a higher price target and “buy” recommendation from an investment firm.
In a market note, Rosenblatt raised its price target for the company to $39 from $18 previously, reaffirming its recommendation to buy the stock, citing the potential upside from the upcoming AdTech antitrust remedy and penalty phase against Google.
Rosenblatt said that such a factor does not seem to be reflected in Magnite, Inc.’s (NASDAQ:MGNI) stock price just yet.
“Magnite’s benefit from the upcoming AdTech antitrust remedy/penalty phase is likely to be very substantial, very possibly as early as early 2026, and in our view is not reflected in the equity,” Rosenblatt said.
“We move to close that gap, by using what we see as conservative and beatable antitrust assumptions, from both likely EBITDA lift from behavioral remedies, and proceeds from civil litigation/potential settlement, to raise our Magnite price target $18 to $39. Underlying this analysis is our belief that the ruling against Google was strong, and is likely to withstand potential appeals,” it added.
2. BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BBAI)
BigBear extended its winning streak to a third straight day on Monday, jumping 16.27 percent to close at $6.79 apiece, tracking a broader market rally.
Earlier this month, BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BBAI) announced the official deployment of its biometric software for Enhanced Passenger Processing (EPP) at 12 key international airports and ports of entry in the United States and Canada.
These include Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), Chicago International Airport (ORD), Cross Border Xpress (CBX), Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), and Denver International Airport (DEN), among others.
“Deploying Enhanced Passenger Processing at scale requires near seamless integration of advanced biometrics, AI, and operational infrastructure—this is where BigBear.ai excels,” said BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BBAI) CEO Kevin McAleenan.
“We are proud to support international airports, seaports, and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in transforming the security and safety for travelers, while elevating the passenger experience through AI-powered innovation,” he added.
1. Burford Capital Limited (NYSE:BUR)
Burford Capital Limited (NYSE:BUR) soared by 21.98 percent on Monday to finish at $14.26 apiece following a US Court ruling that ordered Argentina to give up its 51 percent stake in oil and gas company YPF to partially satisfy a $16.1-billion court judgment.
In her ruling, US District Judge Loretta Preska ordered Argentina to transfer its YPF shares to BNY Mellon within 14 days, and instructed it to transfer the shares within one business day to the plaintiffs.
Argentinian President Javier Milei, however, vowed to appeal to “defend national interests.”
The case stemmed from Argentina’s 2012 seizure of the 51-percent stake in YPF held by Spain-based Repsol without tendering for shares held by minority investors Petersen Energia Inversora and Eton Park Capital Management.
The plaintiffs were represented by litigation funder Burford Capital Limited (NYSE:BUR), which had expected to receive 35 percent and 73 percent of Petersen and Eton Park’s respective damages.
While we acknowledge the potential of BUR to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
