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

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)

The company is in the spotlight after raising prices on Mac and iPad products. CEO Tim Cook described the situation as a “hundred-year flood,” citing the rapid expansion of AI data centers as a key factor. This surge in demand for memory and storage has led to unprecedented component price increases, prompting Apple to adjust its pricing strategy. 

Triller Group Inc. (NASDAQ:ILLR)

Triller Group saw its stock soar by 296.57%, closing at $3.05. The stock hit an intraday high of $5.30 and a low of $2.54, with a 52-week range of $0.7 to $17.30. In the after-hours trading, the stock shot up 37.7% to $4.20.

The surge followed Triller’s announcement of a definitive agreement to acquire economic exposure to 3,917,185 SpaceX shares through a fund vehicle. CEO Wing-Fai Ng described the acquisition as a “transformational step” for the company, positioning SpaceX at the core of its balance sheet. 

BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB)

BlackBerry shares rose by 19.95%, closing at $10.34. The stock reached an intraday high of $10.68 and a low of $9.52, with a 52-week range of $3.12 to $10.93.

The company’s stock climbed after reporting first-quarter earnings that exceeded expectations. BlackBerry posted adjusted earnings per share of 4 cents, surpassing the consensus estimate of 3 cents, and reported revenue of $152.90 million, a 26% year-over-year increase.

Synaptics Incorporated (NASDAQ:SYNA)

Synaptics shares fell by 3.49%, closing at $125.62. The stock recorded an intraday high of $137.03 and a low of $123.84, with a 52-week range of $58.28 to $149.11. In extended trading, the shares rose 9.86% to $138.

The company is in focus after an all-stock acquisition by ON Semi, valued at approximately $7 billion. The deal is expected to enhance ON Semi’s capabilities in AI infrastructure and edge-based applications

Microsoft remained under pressure after Stifel maintained its Hold rating but lowered its price target to $400 from $415, citing expectations that Azure’s rapid expansion and elevated capital spending would compress cloud margins. The firm also warned Wall Street’s fiscal 2027 EPS estimates may be about $1.00 too high due to margin pressure and rising finance lease obligations.
