5 Under-$10 Stocks Making Wild Moves Right Now

The S&P 500 dipped 0.1% on Monday as investors turned their attention to Nvidia’s upcoming earnings report. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 224 points, or 0.5%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq managed a 0.2% gain, buoyed by strength in chip stocks.

Nvidia shares rose over 1% ahead of its earnings release on Wednesday, backed by a wave of bullish analyst commentary. Intel also climbed more than 1%, extending gains after news broke that the U.S. government has taken a 10% stake in the company—a move linked to broader plans for a sovereign wealth fund, according to top Trump officials.

The slight pullback followed Friday’s strong rally, which saw the Dow hit record highs and the S&P 500 flirt with its own peak after Fed Chair Jerome Powell hinted at a potential rate cut in September. Still, analysts like CFRA’s Sam Stovall say Monday’s dip is a normal breather after such sharp gains.
