Stock futures inched up early Thursday as Nvidia’s strong earnings forecast reignited enthusiasm in the AI sector and helped restore confidence in technology stocks.
Here are some of Thursday’s biggest stock movers:
Biggest stock gainers
- NVIDIA (NVDA) +6% – Shares soared after delivering another blockbuster quarter, with Q3 results and guidance surpassing expectations on surging demand for AI processors. Revenue jumped 62% Y/Y, topping estimates, driven by Data center sales growth of 66% to $51.2B, beating forecasts, with strength across automotive (+32% to $592M), pro visualization (+56% to $760M), and gaming (+30% to $4.3B, slightly below estimates). Adjusted gross margin reached 73.6%. CEO Jensen Huang said Blackwell demand is “off the charts,” adding that AI compute needs are compounding across training and inference. For Q4 FY2026, Nvidia guided to ~$65B in revenue, above the ~$62B consensus, with GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins expected near 75%.
- Super Micro Computer (SMCI) +5% – Shares advanced after the company unveiled new air-cooled GPU systems built around AMD’s Instinct MI355X, expanding its AI and HPC hardware portfolio with a solution designed for customers needing top-tier performance without liquid cooling. Supermicro said the launch strengthens its leadership in high-performance AI infrastructure, while AMD highlighted the collaboration as a key step in bringing advanced GPU capabilities into existing data-center environments.
-
Regeneron (REGN) +4% – Shares gained after the FDA approved Eylea HD (aflibercept 8 mg) for treating macular edema tied to retinal vein occlusion, while also clearing a new monthly dosing option for eligible patients across its approved indications.
Biggest stock losers
- Vizsla Silver (VZLA) -12% – Shares slid after the company priced a US$250M offering of convertible senior unsecured notes due 2031, with an additional US$50M overallotment option for initial purchasers. The notes, carrying a 5% semi-annual cash interest, come with an initial conversion rate of 171.3062 shares per $1,000, implying a conversion price of about $5.84, a 25% premium to the last closing price. Vizsla expects net proceeds of roughly $239.4M, or $285.9M if the option is exercised, and plans to use the funds for its Panuco Project, future acquisitions, and general corporate needs, including cash-settled capped calls to help offset potential dilution.
- Palo Alto Networks (PANW) -4% – Shares slipped even after posting better-than-expected FQ1 results and raising its full-year revenue outlook while also announcing a $3.35B deal to acquire cloud-native observability platform Chronosphere. The company guided FQ2 revenue to $2.57B–$2.59B, in line with expectations, and sees FY2026 revenue at $10.5B–$10.54B, slightly above its prior range, with CFO Dipak Golechha highlighting continued profitable growth and confidence in achieving a 40%+ adjusted free cash flow margin by FY2028.
