These are the top stocks that gained the attention of retail traders and investors through the day.

Intel Corporation ( INTC ) 

Intel’s stock surged 12.95% to $108.18, with an intraday high of $110.48 and a low of $100.08. The 52-week range is $110.48 to $18.96. In the after-hours session, the stock rose 4.76% to $113.33.

The company guided second-quarter revenue of $2.8 billion and EPS of $0.88, both above expectations, but shares fell sharply after hours as investors appeared to anticipate stronger guidance.

Micron’s stock jumped 11.10% to $640.45, hitting a high of $651.74 and a low of $605.47. Its 52-week range is $651.74 to $78.54. In the after-hours session, the stock gained 5.51% to $675.76.
