Last Week, 17 Stocks hit new 52-week highs as markets continued to rise. Nine of those companies hit all-time highs, including:

• Alliant Energy

• Palantir Technologies

• Kroger

• Monster Beverage

• Nasdaq Inc.

• Fastenal

• Cummins Inc

• Bank of NY Mellon

• CBOE Holdings.

Overall, U.S. stocks wrapped up the week with strong gains, driven largely by the technology sector. The Nasdaq rose nearly 1% on Friday to close at a record 21,450.02, having also touched a new all-time intraday high. The S&P 500 climbed 0.78% to 6,389.45, just shy of its own record, while the Dow added 207 points to finish at 44,175.61. For the week, the Nasdaq surged 3.9%, the S&P gained 2.4%, and the Dow advanced 1.4%.

Markets seemed unfazed by the rollout of Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs, which include steep duties such as 41% on Syria and 40% on Laos and Myanmar. In precious metals, Switzerland’s gold refining industry warned that U.S. tariffs on gold bars could disrupt global supply flows. Gold futures hit a record $3,534.10.

A few companies to highlight:

• Monster Beverage received a boost after Piper Sandler upgraded the stock, citing a rebound in momentum and manageable aluminum costs, and projected over 20% upside.

• Peloton shares jumped on a Goldman Sachs upgrade, with analysts forecasting more than 60% upside on the back of strong earnings and new growth initiatives.

• Instacart impressed with an earnings beat, prompting multiple analyst upgrades and higher price targets, though some remain cautious about long-term market share trends.
