Happy Monday Investors,
The indexes may have coasted, but small-caps lit up the tape.
Largo $LGO ( ▲ 4.0% ) rallied on a headline-grabbing vanadium battery lease in Texas. Blaize $BZAI ( ▼ 7.43% ) exploded with a major AI infrastructure contract across Asia.
New listings made waves too, with Aura Minerals debuting at a hefty $196M market cap. Not all news was good, Northern Dynasty $NAK ( ▲ 2.07% ) plunged after legal pressure hit its Pebble project.
And if you're scanning for under-the-radar income plays, New York Mortgage Trust $NYMT ( ▼ 0.56% ) just doubled down on business-purpose lending with a key acquisition.
Here’s what you need to know before the week kicks off.
