Cipher Digital Stock Is Jumping Again — The AI Power Bet Behind CIFR’s Rally

Cipher Digital Inc. shares rose 6.4% to $20.73 in Thursday morning trading, extending a volatile run as investors stayed with the company’s shift from bitcoin mining toward AI data-center infrastructure. The Nasdaq-listed stock traded between $19.50 and $21.00, with volume at about 8.5 million shares and market value near $8.4 billion. The move matters now because CIFR was climbing while the broader large-cap tech tape was weaker. The Invesco QQQ Trust, an exchange-traded fund that tracks the Nasdaq 100, was down 0.6%, making Cipher’s move stand out in a soft morning for big tech proxies.

PRCT rises as Wall Street slips; investors look again at Aquablation

PROCEPT BioRobotics shares were slightly higher early Thursday, up 18 cents to $28.29. The stock was steadier than much of the medical-device group as Wall Street opened lower again with new jitters over oil and the Middle East. According to Reuters, the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq all slipped at the open. Procept BioRobotics shares barely moved, but even a slight gain is notable for a stock still working to regain trust after a rough guidance cut earlier this year. The company, which most recently was valued around $1.60 billion, has to prove adoption of its Aquablation systems can fuel more consistent procedures, boost consumable sales, and slow its cash burn.

Bright Minds Biosciences Up After $220 Piper Sandler Call—Key Level for DRUG Traders

Bright Minds Biosciences Inc. shares climbed on Wednesday after Piper Sandler boosted its price target on the company. DRUG closed at $82.78 on the Nasdaq, jumping 11.1% from Tuesday’s $74.54 finish. The new target puts the stock in focus for Thursday’s U.S. trading. That’s relevant since U.S. markets were still closed at the dateline. Regular hours at Nasdaq are 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern, with pre-market hours ahead of that. So Wednesday’s close was the last official mark.

BIO-TECHNE STAYS UNDER PRESSURE AS RALLY FIZZLES The rally is still a repair move right now. Bio-Techne is well under its January peak, with investors cutting the stock this month after fiscal Q3 sales came in below forecasts.

Aterian Moves Lower Pre-Market With $18 Million Ballot Ahead

Aterian Inc. shares slipped before the bell Thursday. Investors continue to weigh a planned asset sale and new financing that could change the shape of the consumer-products group. The stock traded at $1.15, off 2.5% ahead of Nasdaq’s 9:30 a.m. ET open. Aterian is in the spotlight now not because of a product launch or earnings. The focus is on the small-cap company’s push to win shareholder support for a deal that could transfer its main brands and change control. Market data puts Aterian’s valuation at around $12.8 million.

Vanda Pharmaceuticals VNDA dipped in early premarket trade Thursday, off 0.5% at $6.15 before the bell. Shares closed at $6.18 on Wednesday, when the stock climbed 3.2%. Investors looked at the drugmaker’s latest investor meetings and balanced that with concerns about costs for new product launches. Vanda is shifting focus from regulatory wins to showing product sales now. The Washington company recently launched Nereus for motion-induced vomiting and Bysanti for schizophrenia and acute bipolar I disorder, putting them in a lineup with Fanapt, Hetlioz and Ponvory.

Aimei Health: Nasdaq Sends AFJK 60-Day Notice

Aimei Health Technology Co., Ltd is facing a new Nasdaq compliance issue as of Thursday’s U.S. session after the blank-check firm confirmed its March-quarter report was not filed on time. AFJK isn’t a regular healthcare stock right now. It’s a blank-check company set up to buy or merge with another firm. That means listing status, timing on any deal, and how much cash is in its trust are bigger factors than typical revenue trends.

NMFC Stock Moves Higher Ahead of Open as New Mountain Finance Buyback Faces Private Credit Trial

New Mountain Finance Corp. is coming into Thursday’s Nasdaq open after gaining 2.1%, but the stock is still trading well under its latest book value. Shares finished Wednesday at $8.12. Nasdaq’s regular session is 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern, and premarket starts at 4 a.m. Discount is the main story now. NMFC last reported net asset value at $10.92 per share as of March 31, which puts the shares trading about 26% below NAV. Management has room with the buyback to create value, but investors are still pricing NMFC as a risk trade and not only for its income.

GrowHub at 33 Cents Faces Nasdaq Deadline Pressure

The GrowHub Limited’s shares stayed around 33 cents in premarket Nasdaq trading Thursday. That leaves the Singapore-based traceability firm still under a major Nasdaq minimum and less than two weeks from its June 1 deadline to meet compliance. TGHL last traded at $0.325, about 0.6% higher than its last close. Why price is in focus now: Nasdaq warned the company in December after its Class A shares stayed under the $1 minimum bid for 30 straight sessions, GrowHub said in its May 15 annual filing. That $1 mark is what a stock needs to close at to stay listed, according to the exchange.

ARKR Investors Wait on $24 Million Bryant Park Renewal

Ark Restaurants Corp. last traded at $6.68 ahead of Thursday’s Nasdaq open, valuing the company near $24.1 million. Investors are still weighing soft sales and the ongoing battle over Ark’s Bryant Park sites in Manhattan. Robinhood showed volume at 916 shares, while the average is 2,440, pointing again to ARKR’s status as a thinly traded micro-cap. The timing is key here.

Shares finished at $45.21, valuing the Nasdaq-traded company near $1.25 billion. Timing is key here. XPEL is shifting from mostly asset-light and using a lot of third-party manufacturing to taking tighter control of production, quality, and logistics. The company still aims for operating margins in the mid-20% range by 2028. Operating margin shows profit from operations as a slice of revenue.

AREC Stock Jumps as American Resources’ Rare-Earth Pivot Gets a 10-K Test

American Resources Corp shares last traded unchanged at $2.14 in Thursday premarket dealings, the early session before the 9:30 a.m. New York open, after closing up 10.3% on Wednesday as investors weighed a delayed annual report and a cleaner rare-earth strategy. U.S. regular trading had not opened; Nasdaq’s 2026 calendar lists Memorial Day, May 25, as the next scheduled market closure. The filing matters now because it removes part of a compliance overhang. Nasdaq told American Resources on April 24 that it was not in compliance with Listing Rule 5250 because it had not filed its 2025 Form 10-K, an annual report with audited accounts and risk disclosures; the notice had no immediate effect on the stock’s listing or trading.

LivePerson Stock Alert: LPSN Rebounds as SoundHound Deal and Insider Filings Put Shares on Watch

LivePerson Inc. shares go into Thursday’s U.S. pre-market with the stock back at $2.07, after a modest bounce that did not erase Tuesday’s fall. The Nasdaq-listed customer-engagement software company closed up 3.0% Wednesday on volume of 97,378 shares, LivePerson investor data showed. This matters now because LPSN is trading less like a routine software earnings story and more like a pending deal stock. Nasdaq’s pre-market system was open in New York, regular trading runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET, and Nasdaq’s 2026 holiday schedule lists Memorial Day, May 25, not Thursday, as the next full U.S. market closure.
