Stocks Continue Adding to Gains
10:05 amShortly after 10 a.m. ET stocks continue to build on their early gains. Vistra Corp (NYSE: VST) is now up 5.5%, while NVIDIA is up 3.1%.
Amphenol, which is a key supplier for NVIDIA’s next-generation Blackwell systems is up 2.35%. The technology story of the year continues to center around NVIDIA as investors scramble to find plays that ride in the company’s wake as growth expectations for the next 12 months continue to soar.

- Dow Jones Industrial down 93.14 (-.22%)

NVIDIA The Biggest Gainer at the Open
Among megacaps, NVIDIA (Nasdaq: NVDA) is up the highest amount shortly after the opening bell. The stock is up 2.56% to $138.24 per share in early trading. The company continues to see upgrades and positive research notes from Wall Street as it prepares to ship its next-generation Blackwell platform in volume in the coming months.
Among S&P 500 stocks, companies with AI exposure are leading today’s gains. Vistra (NYSE: VST), Applied Materials (Nasdaq: AMAT), and Lam Research (Nasadaq: LCRX) are the only S&P 500 stocks with larger gains than NVIDIA today and all three have significant tailwinds from the growth of AI.
