WSB hot topic | When cybersecurity meets AI, CRWD soars 24%

NVIDIA, SMCI, AMD, and other popular stocks continue to top the list, with AI concept stock BBAI also making the list.

Network security stock CRWD ranks second in popularity, with performance exceeding expectations, surging 24% in pre-market trading, dispelling market doubts about corporate end network security spending. Previously, on February 21st, PANW, another network security stock, had decent quarterly performance but gave lower guidance than expected, leading to a 28% plunge in its stock price that day, causing concerns in the network security stock market.

The guidance data provided by CRWD is very strong, reflecting the market's strong demand for the company's expanding suite of AI-based network security products.

Apple ranks fourth in popularity, falling for five consecutive trading days, dropping 2.84% overnight mainly due to the overall market decline and market concerns about Apple's declining sales.

Tesla ranks eighth in popularity, falling for two consecutive days with a drop of over 10%. Goldman Sachs lowered Tesla's target price from $345 to $320. Market analysis believes the stock price decline is related to the announced sales data in the Chinese market. In addition, hot money in the market is chasing AI, with NVIDIA hitting a new closing high overnight.

Apparel company ANF ranks ninth in popularity, hitting a new high for three consecutive trading days and will release its earnings report before the market opens today. The company surged 285% last year and 58% this year, showing astonishing growth:

Popular consumer stock TGT ranks tenth in popularity, with performance exceeding expectations. Its stock price surged 12% overnight.
