# Applied Digital, Webull Corp., Super Micro Computer, Micron and Caterpillar: Why These 5 Stocks Are on Investors' Radars Today

U.S. stocks moved lower Wednesday as rising Treasury yields pressured major indexes and industrial shares.

Major U.S. indices closed lower, with the **Dow Jones Industrial Average** falling 0.66% to 51,179.87, while the **S&P 500** and **Nasdaq** each slipped 0.22% to 7,801.77 and 27,538.69, respectively.

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

## **Applied Digital Corp.** (NASDAQ:APLD)

Applied Digital fell 6.04% to close at $23.81, trading between $23.68 and $24.90; its 52-week range spans $19 to $50.70. In after-hours trading, the stock rose 4.75% to $24.94.

Applied Digital reported fiscal first-quarter revenue of $300.39 million, up 322% year over year and well above the $132.16 million analyst estimate, while its adjusted loss of 1 cent per share beat expectations for a 30-cent loss. The company ended the quarter with approximately $3.7 billion in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash against $6.4 billion in total debt, as it continued expanding its AI infrastructure business.

## **Webull Corporation** (NASDAQ:BULL)

Webull dropped 19.09% to finish at $5.89, with an intraday high of $6.03 and low of $5.51. The stock’s 52-week high is $13.25, while its 52-week low is $4.50. 

Shares weakened after a congressional report said the brokerage’s China ties create a national security risk, citing ownership, technology and data connections.

## **Super Micro Computer, Inc.** (NASDAQ:SMCI)

Super Micro Computer gained 3.41% to close at $44.94, moving between $42.46 and $45.77. Its 52-week trading range is $19.49 to $58.78. 

The server maker advanced after a report indicated AI data-center provider **Lambda** is raising $4 billion in a final funding round ahead of a planned initial public offering.

Micron rose 4.06% to finish at $1,088, after reaching $1,089.22 intraday and touching a low of $1,011.42. Its 52-week high stands at $1,255, compared with a low of $179.61. 

Micron faced potential production disruptions in Taiwan after 99% of voting union members at its Taoyuan plant backed strike authorization amid a dispute over bonuses and profit-sharing. The union sought a plan allocating 15% of operating profit to employee bonuses, while mediation ended without an agreement despite Micron announcing compensation packages worth 35 to 68 months of base salary for fiscal 2026.

Caterpillar slid 5.82% to close at $813.83, trading as high as $846 and as low as $806.29. The industrial company’s 52-week range is $489.34 to $1,073.46.

Caterpillar shares fell after the **Federal Trade Commission** and the **Department of Agriculture** requested public comments on agricultural equipment markets, including potential anticompetitive behavior.

**Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings** indicate Micron stock has a Momentum score in the 99th percentile and a Growth score in the 93rd percentile.
