Apple Inc. AAPL
Apple shares soared, closing up 7.26% at $207.15 after reaching an intraday high of $207.16 and bouncing between $193.63 and $207.16. The stock also touched a new 52-week high, surpassing the previous range of $164.08 to $207.16. The surge came after DA Davidson upgraded the stock from Neutral to Buy, with a raised price target of $230, following AI advancements announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference.
GameStop Corp. GME
GameStop’s stock jumped 22.80% to close at $30.49, after peaking at $30.92 and dipping to a low of $22.79, against a 52-week range of $9.95 to $64.83. The company’s shares climbed following the completion of its at-the-market equity offering program, amassing approximately $2.137 billion in gross proceeds intended for general corporate purposes.
Paramount Global PARA
