Arm, IonQ, AppLovin, Snap And Beyond Meat: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today
May 6, 2026 7:54 PM

U.S. stocks soared to new heights today. This surge was driven by impressive AI earnings and a significant drop in oil prices, as diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran showed promise.

For the day, the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 1.24% to close at 49,910.59, while the S&P 500 advanced 1.46% to 7,365.12 and the Nasdaq jumped 2.03% to 25,838.94.

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

ARM Holdings ( ARM ) 

Arm Holdings’ stock rose by 13.63% to close at $237.30, reaching an intraday high of $239.50 and a low of $220.10. The stock’s 52-week range is between $100.02 and $239.50. In the after-hours trading, the stock slipped 6.4% to $222.12. 

Arm Holdings ( ARM ) reported fourth-quarter revenue of $1.49 billion and EPS of $0.60, both beating estimates, with licensing revenue rising 29% year-over-year to $819 million and royalty revenue increasing 11% to $617 million.

The company said demand for its Arm AGI CPU data center chip exceeded expectations amid growing AI adoption, helping drive a third consecutive year of more than 20% revenue growth.
