Super Micro Computer, Micron Technology, Constellation Energy, Dexcom and Moderna were the top S&P 500 index gainers on the stock market today.
Super Micro stock leapt 7.2% to 1,042.79, vaulting back above the 21-day line and the 1,000. The AI server maker uses chips from Nvidia and others.
SMCI stock is easily top performer in the S&P 500, surging 267.3% in 2024. (Nvidia stock, in second place, is up 92%.) The Nvidia partner joined the S&P 500 before the open on March 18, tumbling 9% in its first week.
Super Micro is on the IBD Big Cap 20.
Micron stock umped 6.2% to 117.04, continuing its powerful move last week following a surprise profit and bullish guidance thanks to AI tailwinds. The memory-chip giant is now up 37.25% in 2024. That's No. 6 in the S&P 500 this year.
Dexcom stock gained 5.2% to 140.10, decisively clearing a mini-consolidation within the buy zone of a flat base. While extended from the flat base's 132.03 buy point, investors could treat 137.93 as an alternate or add-on entry. DXCM stock is on IBD Leaderboard.
Constellation Energy stock popped 5.1% to 187.26, hitting a record high, clearing a very short consolidation. CEG stock skyrocketed on earnings in late February. Constellation Energy is big electric utility, but it's a tangential AI play as booming data centers have a voracious demand for energy. Constellation Energy stock is up 60.2% this year, behind only Super Micro and Nvidia stock within the S&P 500.Moderna stock rose 4.7% to 11.38, moving toward a 114.25 buy point from a cup-with-handle base. Shares were actionable Monday from breaking the downtrend of the handle.
