AI Play Soaring on Record Revenue

Astera Labs (NASDAQ: ALAB) is commanding attention with a remarkable +4.91% gain, trading at $179.28. The AI infrastructure company has become the poster child for data center demand, with shares soaring 28% following their Q2 earnings report.

The numbers tell a compelling story: Astera delivered record quarterly revenue of $191.9 million, representing a staggering 150% year-over-year growth and 20% quarter-over-quarter increase. The company's non-GAAP EPS of $0.44 crushed estimates by $0.12, while revenue beat expectations by $19.46 million.

Wall Street is taking notice. Northland raised their price target from $120 to $160, while Evercore ISI sees potential for 58.6% upside from recent levels. With an RSI of 79.08, ALAB is technically overbought but showing no signs of cooling off as institutional investors pile in.

The company's positioning in AI data center connectivity solutions puts them at the epicenter of the artificial intelligence boom, making this a pure-play opportunity for traders betting on continued AI infrastructure spending.

Energy Drink Giant Powers Up

Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ: CELH) is energizing portfolios with a +3.65% gain to $51.95. The energy drink company delivered a breakthrough quarter that exceeded all expectations and showcased the power of strategic acquisitions.

Celsius reported adjusted EPS of $0.47, beating estimates by an impressive $0.23, while revenue surged 84% year-over-year to $739.3 million—$84.97 million above consensus. The standout performer was their Alani Nu brand, which doubled EBITDA and drove the massive revenue surge.

The company's expansion strategy is paying dividends, with management signaling a low-50s gross margin outlook for the second half of 2025. This demonstrates operational efficiency even as they scale rapidly across multiple beverage segments.

With an RSI of 69.68, CELH maintains room for additional upside while benefiting from the growing health-conscious consumer trend and zero-sugar beverage demand.

Home Appliance Innovation

SharkNinja Operating LLC (NYSE: SN) is cleaning up in the markets with a +0.67% gain to $116.06. The small appliance innovator continues demonstrating that consumer discretionary doesn't have to be a losing bet.

The company delivered non-GAAP EPS of $0.97, beating estimates by $0.17, while revenue of $1.44 billion exceeded expectations by $60 million. Management raised their FY 2025 net sales growth outlook to 13%-15%, citing global demand strength and successful supply chain diversification.

Guggenheim showed confidence by raising their price target from $120 to $140, reflecting the company's ability to innovate in competitive home appliance markets. With an RSI of 58.46, SN maintains technical momentum while trading at reasonable levels.

The company's focus on product innovation and international expansion positions them well for continued growth in the evolving home appliance landscape.

E-Commerce Turnaround Story

Wayfair Inc. (NYSE: W) is furnishing returns with a -1.20% pullback to $72.37, but don't let the red fool you—this e-commerce furniture retailer is in the midst of a significant turnaround.

The company reported 5% revenue growth in Q2 2025, marking a return to growth after challenging periods. Multiple analysts have upgraded their outlook, with Citigroup raising their price target by more than $60, citing fundamental and sustainable improvements.

Wells Fargo increased their price target from $65 to $84, while other analysts noted that tariff impacts may be less severe than initially feared. The company's operational improvements and market share gains in online furniture retail are gaining Wall Street recognition.

Despite the slight pullback, W maintains technical strength with an RSI of 68.54, suggesting the recent rally may have room to continue as the turnaround story develops.

Bottom Line

Among these momentum stocks, Astera Labs (ALAB) offers the most compelling near-term opportunity despite its extended technical condition. The company sits at the intersection of multiple powerful trends: AI infrastructure spending, data center modernization, and high-performance computing growth.

While the stock appears technically overbought, the fundamental momentum from record revenue growth, expanding margins, and increasing analyst targets suggests institutional accumulation will continue. The company's pure-play exposure to AI infrastructure spending provides clear visibility into sustained demand drivers.

For risk-tolerant traders, ALAB represents the strongest conviction play among these momentum names, though position sizing should account for elevated volatility and potential near-term consolidation.
