Here are the five tech stocks that made the biggest moves Monday morning.
Peloton Interactive Inc. (NASDAQ: PTON) traded up by more than 25%, at $30.88 in a 52-week range of $22.81 to $155.52. Peloton has struggled with supply chain issues and a decline in sales since last May, and EBITDA has slipped for two consecutive quarters, with a third expected when the company reports quarterly results after markets close on Tuesday. The shares traded higher on speculation that several deep-pocketed companies may be interested in acquiring Peloton: Amazon, Apple, Disney and Nike. (Peloton stock is categorized as a consumer cyclical.)
