The price target was increased to $59.70 from $56.82. Analysts noted that an improved business mix and less volatile earnings boosted their confidence in the company.

During the event, Nextpower outlined a revenue target of $4.8 billion to $5.6 billion by fiscal year 2030. While the company reaffirmed its fiscal 2026 outlook and provided a new forecast for fiscal 2027, the stock's decline suggested investor expected more given the stock's rally since the start of the year.

Shares of technology and consulting giant IBM (NYSE:IBM) jumped 2% in the morning session after the company announced significant breakthroughs in its quantum computing division, including the unveiling of its most advanced processor yet, the IBM Quantum Nighthawk.

The company also announced the Quantum Loon, a test chip that included all the necessary components for building large-scale, advanced quantum computers. IBM noted that the Nighthawk processor could execute circuits with 30% more complexity and was about 30% more efficient than its predecessor.

Shares of beauty and waxing service franchise European Wax Center (NASDAQ:EWCZ) jumped 15.8% in the morning session after the company reported third-quarter 2025 financial results that surpassed Wall Street's expectations on profit and revenue. Although revenue declined 2.2% year on year to $54.2 million, the figure still topped analysts' forecasts. The company's profitability was a key highlight for the quarter. GAAP earnings per share of $0.09 was more than double the consensus estimate of $0.04. Furthermore, adjusted EBITDA, a key measure of profitability, came in at $20.2 million, handily beating expectations of $15.7 million. While the company reaffirmed its full-year revenue outlook, its full-year EBITDA guidance was slightly below analysts' projections. Overall, the strong bottom-line performance appeared to outweigh the mixed guidance, driving investor optimism.

Shares of freight Delivery Company RXO (NYSE:RXO) jumped 6.2% in the morning session after Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock's rating from Equal-Weight to Overweight and set a new price target of $19.00. The upgrade from analyst Ravi Shanker provided a positive signal for investors. This action followed a notable insider purchase just a few days prior, where director Thomas A. Szlosek acquired over 20,000 shares for a total of approximately $251,209. Such a purchase often indicates strong confidence from company leadership. The positive sentiment from the upgrade and insider activity seemed to overshadow the company's recent third-quarter results, in which its earnings before certain costs were below expectations.

Shares of telecom software provider Amdocs (NASDAQ:DOX) fell 6.2% in the morning session after the company's third-quarter earnings report pointed to a weaker profit outlook. The company's revenue for the third quarter of 2025 came in at $1.15 billion, a 9% decline year-over-year, though it slightly beat Wall Street's expectations. Adjusted earnings per share of $1.83 were in line with analyst consensus. However, investors were more concerned with the company's forecast. While Amdocs guided for fourth-quarter revenue that was slightly ahead of estimates, its adjusted earnings per share guidance of $1.76 at the midpoint fell short of the $1.87 analysts were expecting. This weaker profit forecast signaled potential pressure on profitability, overshadowing the modest revenue beat and prompting a negative reaction from the market.

Shares of power conversion and control solutions provider Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ:VICR) jumped 2.7% in the morning session after investor optimism continued following the company's blowout third-quarter financial results. The company shattered analyst expectations, reporting earnings of $0.63 per share, which was a staggering 142% increase compared to the previous year and well above the forecasted $0.12 to $0.17. Revenue also beat estimates, coming in at $110.4 million. The strong performance was credited to growing demand from AI data centers, which require the kind of high-density power systems that Vicor designs. The positive earnings, first announced in late October, fueled a significant surge in the stock, which has now reached a 52-week high.

Shares of civil infrastructure construction company Sterling Infrastructure (NASDAQ:STRL) rose in the morning session after its Board of Directors authorized a new $400 million stock repurchase program. The new program, set to run over 24 months, replaced a previous plan that had $81 million in remaining capacity. Stock buybacks can signal that a company's leadership believes its own shares are a good investment, which often boosts investor confidence. Sterling's CEO, Joe Cutillo, stated that the move reflected the company's "continued confidence in Sterling's outlook," pointing to its strong balance sheet and cash flow. This financial health was highlighted in the company's recent third-quarter results, where both earnings and revenues grew significantly and beat expectations. The company also reported a record backlog of $2.6 billion, suggesting solid demand for its services.

Shares of home energy technology company Enphase (NASDAQ:ENPH) rose in the morning session after it announced a new partnership with Green Mountain Power (GMP) to launch a home battery lease program in Vermont.

This arrangement provided customers with backup power while also allowing them to share stored energy during peak times. This shared energy supported GMP's 75 MW virtual power plant, the largest of its kind in Vermont, helping to lower costs for all customers and improve grid stability. Enphase also noted a planned 2026 launch for a new bidirectional EV charger.

For the upcoming quarter, the company guided for revenues between $1.03 billion and $1.06 billion.
