Why These Three Stocks Rocketed Higher

Investors put aside their concerns about Super Micro Computers (SMCI) filing financial reports to the stock exchange. SMCI needs them to continue to be listed. Instead, SMCI stock gained 88% in the last quarter, ahead of its earnings report tonight after markets close.

Rockwell Automation (ROK) jumped by 12.65% on Monday to close at $302.34. The firm reported an 8.3% Y/Y decline in revenue, to $1.88 billion. For fiscal year 2025, Rockwell expects organic sales growth of (4)% to 2%. Despite the weak results and outlook, ROK stock enjoyed a relief rally.

Investors are betting that Rockwell will streamline the sale of its many items. That would lower costs and help lift its weak profit margins.

In the tech sector, Western Digital (WDC) added 7.11% to close at $69.04. The storage supplier did not post anything new. On Jan. 30, WDC blamed flash pricing pressures for its Q3 revenue guidance. Still, revenue will increase by 5% Q/Q and 41% Y/Y. Cloud revenue will offset the weak profits from Flash, where it faced pricing pressures.

WDC stock benefited from traders buying Nvidia (NVDA), Broadcom (AVGO), Adobe (ADBE), and Oracle (ORCL) on Monday. The stock offers more value at a forward P/E of 10 times.
