Why ATA Creativity Global (AACG) Soared on Thursday

We recently published an article titled Micro-, Small-Cap Firms Dominate Market Rally. In this article, we are going to take a look at where ATA Creativity Global (NASDAQ:AACG) stands against the other stocks.

The stock market pulled back to the red territory on Thursday, with all major indices posting significant losses as tariff threats continued to rattle investors.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq posted the largest loss, down 2.61 percent, followed by the S&P 500 with 1.78 percent, and the Dow Jones with 0.99 percent.

On Thursday, 10 micro and small-cap companies defied a broader market decline, with their share prices jumping by as much as double digits. One company stood out, soaring more than 300 percent during the session.

To come up with Thursday’s top performers, we considered the stocks with the highest day change performance.

ATA Creativity Global (NASDAQ:AACG) grew its share prices by 27.16 percent on Thursday to end at $1.03 each as investors repositioned portfolios ahead of its full-year earnings release.

ATA Creativity Global (NASDAQ:AACG), a China-based international educational services company, is expected to release its full-year earnings performance in the last week of March, based on the company’s historical reporting dates.

In December last year, ATA Creativity Global (NASDAQ:AACG) regained its compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, it continues to face challenges over minimum stockholders’ equity deficiency, having received a notification letter from Nasdaq on November 27, 2024, notifying that it was not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement.

Nasdaq requires companies listed on Nasdaq Global Market to maintain a minimum of $10 million in stockholders’ equity to remain listed. In its last quarterly result, AACG said its public equity was below $10 million.

ATA Creativity Global (NASDAQ:AACG) was given a deadline of January 13, 2025, to submit a plan to regain compliance on the public float, and if accepted, it will have 180 days to regain compliance.

Overall AACG ranks 8th on our list of Thursday’s top performers. While we acknowledge the potential of AACG as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame.

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…
