Why it moved
Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) faced significant headwinds after announcing an equity distribution agreement. The company plans to sell up to $600 million in common stock through an at-the-market offering, which triggered immediate dilution concerns among shareholders.
Tesla (TSLA) and Moderna (MRNA) continued to exhibit high volatility, driven by retail sentiment rather than specific corporate news. These stocks remain sensitive to broader market liquidity and sector-wide rotation patterns.

- TSLA price action: 5.14% gain supported by 1 buy rating
