Page 1 of 3

Wall Street finished mixed on Friday, with technology stocks staging a rebound after falling to their worst day in 19 months, as investors turned to bargain hunting to take advantage of their cheap valuation. Only the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 finished in the green, up 1.09 percent and 0.31 percent, respectively, while the Dow Jones declined 0.46 percent.

Meanwhile, we identified the 10 top-performing stocks, surging between 18 and 42 percent during the session.

To compile the list, we considered stocks with more than $1 billion in market capitalization and over 5 million shares traded.

10. Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS)

Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS) climbed 18.03 percent on Friday to close at $5.34 apiece as investors began positioning portfolios ahead of business updates from two key events next week, while cheering expansion plans over the next two years.

The company is set to announce the results of its earnings performance for the third quarter of the year before market open on Thursday, November 12, and participate in a drone security industry and SLTT grant forum on Monday, November 9, where investors will be expecting business updates and cues about the remainder of the year—with particular attention to whether management maintains or upgrades its previous growth guidance.

In its last earnings call, Ondas Inc. raised its revenue growth outlook to a range of $525 million to $550 million, or a tenfold increase from the same period last year, including revenues from its recently completed acquisition of Cyberhawk.

On a pro-forma organic basis, the midpoint of the said range would mark a 30 percent growth year-on-year.

In other news, Ondas Inc. announced plans to expand production of ULTRA—its long-endurance intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft, targeting 10 aircraft per month through 2028.

In line with the plan, the company entered into a definitive agreement for the entire acquisition of Stemme GmbH—ULTRA’s airframe manufacturer—in an all-cash transaction.

9. Rigetti Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:RGTI)

Rigetti Computing soared by 19.29 percent on Friday to finish at $11.75 apiece, as investors grew interested in its stock ahead of the results of its earnings performance for the third quarter of the year.

Based on its calendar, Rigetti Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:RGTI) is scheduled to report its financial and operating highlights after market close on Tuesday, November 10. A conference call will be held to elaborate on the results.

Earnings aside, investors are expected to seek updates on its research and development initiatives to support the acceleration of superconducting quantum computing.

It can be recalled that Rigetti Computing Inc., pursuant to the US government’s CHIPS Act, successfully bagged a $100 million in funding from the US Department of Commerce in September this year, which will pursue three research and development projects that aim to address major technical bottlenecks in scaling superconducting quantum computing and accelerate the its roadmap towards utility-scale quantum computing.

Under the agreement, the Commerce Department will receive a minority, non-controlling equity stake in Rigetti Computing Inc. as a condition for receiving the funds, saying the move was “to enhance the return for the US taxpayer.”

8. Infleqtion Inc. (NYSE:INFQ)

Infleqtion Inc. (NYSE:INFQ) climbed by 19.49 percent on Friday to close at $8.89 apiece, mirroring the rally in technology stocks and its quantum computing counterparts, thanks to a combination of bargain-hunting from the previous day’s downfall, alongside earnings prospects for the industry.

The stock rallied alongside its quantum computing counterparts, namely Rigetti Computing, Quantinuum, D-Wave, and Quantum Computing Inc., among others, with sentiment helped by IonQ Inc.’s strong earnings performance in the third quarter of the year and higher revenue growth guidance for the full-year period.

In its earnings release, IonQ said that it swung to a net income of $563 million from a $1.05 billion net loss in the same period last year, while revenues soared by 336 percent to $173.8 million from $39.87 million year-on-year.

The results sparked a higher revenue growth guidance for full-year 2026 to a range of $505 million and $515 million, or an implied 110 percent jump in quantum computing year-on-year.

The results propelled buying in quantum computing stocks on expectations of a similar growth trajectory for the period.

Meanwhile, Infleqtion Inc. is scheduled to report its own earnings performance on November 16 after market close.
