10. Antero Resources Corp. (NYSE:AR)

Oil and gas firm Antero Resources extended gains for a second day on Monday, jumping 7.21 percent to close at $33.14 apiece as investors took heart from the increasing prices of natural gas and an impressive earnings performance in the third quarter of the year.

As of writing, the benchmark Nymex index was up by 3.56 percent to $4.27/MMBtu over expectations of stronger demand for natural gas resources amid the upcoming winter season.

“Seasonal outlooks show an increased cold risk throughout the winter, which is working to keep pricing propped up,” Pinebrook Energy Advisors Managing Partner Andy Huenefeld was quoted as saying in a report by the Wall Street Journal.

Meanwhile, Antero Resources Corp. (NYSE:AR) last week announced that it swung to profitability, having incurred a $76.18 million net income in the third quarter versus a $35.3 million net loss in the same period last year.

Revenues also grew by 15 percent to $1.2 billion from $1.05 billion in the same comparable period.

Looking ahead, Antero Resources Corp. (NYSE:AR) is targeting full-year production to hit the upper range of its earlier forecast of 3.4 to 3.45 billion cubic feet equivalent per day (Bcfe/d), amid successful bolt-on acquisitions at its Marcellus acreage site in West Virginia for $260 million which supported higher production.

9. Bloom Energy Corp. (NYSE:BE)

Bloom Energy kicked off Monday’s trading hitting a new all-time high as investors hunted for energy shares, with the overall industry now preparing for a stronger demand amid increased use of heating for the winter season.

At intra-day trade, the stock climbed to a new 52-week high of $147.8 before paring gains to end the day just up by 7.73 percent at $142.37 apiece.

Last Friday, Bloom Energy Corp. (NYSE:BE) announced plans to upsize its planned convertible senior notes offering to $2.2 billion from $1.75 billion previously, as it seeks to raise more funds to finance research and development, manufacturing activities, and other general corporate purposes.

Under the terms of the issuance, noteholders would be able to convert their holdings to cash, shares, or a combination of both beginning August 15, 2030, until before the notes mature on November 30, 2030.

Every $1,000 note would be converted to 5.1290 Class A common shares, representing a 52.50 percent premium over its $127.85 closing price on October 30, 2025.

Also last week, Bloom Energy Corp. (NYSE:BE) said that it widened its net loss attributable to shareholders by 56 percent to $23 million from $14.7 million year-on-year, but was lower by 46 percent than the $42.6 million net loss in the last quarter.
