U.S. stocks experienced a surge on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 setting new record highs following a surprising decline in private payrolls, which bolstered expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts.

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