Wall Street closed higher on Wednesday as investors weighed mixed economic data and awaited former President Donald Trump’s decision on possible tariffs. The S&P 500 rose 1.12% to 5,842.63, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.1% to 43,006.59, and the Nasdaq climbed nearly 1.5% to 18,552.73.

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

Alibaba Group Holding Limited ( BABA ) surged 8.61% to close at $141.03, with an intraday range of $133.34 to $141.83 and a 52-week range of $68.36 to $145.30. The Chinese e-commerce giant’s stock rally was fueled by a wave of patriotic sentiment in China, as investors celebrated the success of domestic films like “Ne Zha 2.” This cultural phenomenon has boosted Chinese stocks, with Alibaba ( BABA ) benefiting from the renewed enthusiasm for homegrown companies. Earlier in the month, Chinese president Xi Jinping met Alibaba ( BABA ) founder Jack Ma and other tech leaders at a rare high-level symposium. This was seen as a turnaround by Beijing.

Marvell Technology, Inc. ( MRVL ) gained 2.05% to end at $90.14, trading between $85.18 and $90.74, with a 52-week range of $53.19 to $127.48. The stock crashed more than 14% to $76.75 in the after-hours trading. The semiconductor company reported fourth-quarter earnings that slightly beat analyst estimates, with adjusted earnings per share of $0.60 and revenue of $1.81 billion. Marvell’s CEO Matt Murphy highlighted strong growth in the data center end market, which saw a 78% year-over-year increase in the fourth quarter.

Rigetti Computing, Inc. ( RGTI ) climbed 4.07% to $8.18, with a daily range of $7.61 to $8.24 and a 52-week span of $0.66 to $21.42. The quantum computing firm announced a strategic partnership with Quanta Computer, a Taiwan-based Fortune 500 company. Both companies plan to invest over $100 million each over the next five years, with Quanta also committing to a $35 million investment in Rigetti common shares. This collaboration aims to strengthen Rigetti’s position in the quantum computing market. The company also announced a fourth-quarter revenue of $2.3 million missing a Street consensus estimate of $2.5 million.

Broadcom Inc. ( AVGO ) rose 2.19% to $191.58, fluctuating between $187.10 and $194.08, with a 52-week range of $119.76 to $251.87. Investors are eagerly anticipating Broadcom’s first-quarter earnings report, scheduled for release after market close on Thursday. Analysts expect the company to report revenue of $14.61 billion and earnings per share of $1.49. The semiconductor giant recently unveiled VeloSky, a new networking solution aimed at enhancing 5G and satellite services, potentially diversifying its revenue streams.

Tesla, Inc. ( TSLA ) rebounded 2.60% to close at $279.10, trading between $267.71 and $279.55, with a 52-week range of $138.80 to $488.54. The electric vehicle maker’s stock has been under pressure recently, with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy questioning CEO Elon Musk’s focus on the company. Tesla faced a significant drop in new car registrations in January while competitors gained ground. Some analysts suggest that Musk’s political involvement may be impacting consumer sentiment toward the brand.
