The ten lines

  1. 1

    UP Aehr Test Systems

    AEHR

    AEHR is up 25.53% to 97.11 by midday, reclaiming its 50-day average intraday in the process. The move puts a meaningful level back in play after what had been an extended stay below it.

  2. 2

    UP Nebius Group

    NBIS

    NBIS adds 15.57% to 211.06 by midday, continuing the AI-infrastructure momentum thread running through the session. No specific catalyst is in the facts, but the name is moving with conviction.

  4. 3

    UP Bloom Energy

    BE

    BE is up 14.9% to 226.42 by midday, among the more notable moves in the energy-adjacent growth space today. The size of the move stands out against a broader tape that is advancing more modestly.
