cemagraphics Stock futures edged lower Thursday morning as hopes for a U.S.-Iran conflict resolution waned following President Trump's warnings of major escalation. Here are some of Thursday's biggest stock movers: Biggest stock gainers STAAR Surgical ( STAA ) +19% - Shares surged after the company guided for Q1 net sales above $90M, more than doubling from the prior year, driven primarily by a sharp rebound in China following last year’s inventory destocking by distributors. The Americas also delivered continued double-digit growth, while improved sales leverage and cost discipline are expected to drive a meaningful uplift in adjusted EBITDA, though management flagged ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures across parts of the Middle East, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific as potential headwinds to sustained growth. Biggest stock losers Applied Digital ( APLD ) -5% – Shares slipped even as the company reported a blowout 139% Y/Y revenue surge to $126.6M, fueled by its fully operational 100 MW liquid-cooled AI data center. However, the bottom line was weighed down by a $100.9M net loss ($0.36 per share) largely linked to its cloud services spin-off. Despite the headline loss, the core data center business showed significant earnings power with a non-GAAP profit of $0.09 per share, yet the stock remained under pressure as the market weighed the company's rapid 1 GW capacity expansion and recent $2.15B debt offering against the high capital intensity required to scale its “AI Factory” platform. Aehr Test Systems ( AEHR ) -4% – Shares fell after the company announced a $60M at-the-market (ATM) equity offering with William Blair & Company and Craig-Hallum Capital Group. Under the agreement, the agents will sell shares from time to time, using standard trading practices and in line with market rules.
