Top U.S. stock movers on Thursday, September 3, 2026

-

 Top U.S. stock movers on Thursday, September 3, 2026 (regular-session close). Markets finished higher overall (S&P 500 +1.06%, Nasdaq +1.40%), so the biggest names on the upside were concentrated in crypto-linked stocks, software/AI, and a few biotech names. Tiny microcaps had even larger percentage swings; the list below focuses on more liquid, widely followed names.

Notable gainers


Software names such as ServiceNow, Salesforce, and Adobe also rose a few percent as Snowflake lifted the group. Nvidia finished higher (~+1.8%) after announcing the Hugging Face deal.

Notable losers

StockTickerApprox. moveWhy it moved
UltragenyxRARE −44%Sharp biotech selloff (very high volume)
PolestarPSNY −27.5%EV name weakness
PasqalPSQL −20%Quantum/small-cap drop
Victoria’s SecretVSXY −13.2%Q2 sales missed forecasts
CienaCIEN −10.4%Post-earnings pullback
SprinklrCXM −10.2%Software weakness


Energy was the weakest S&P 500 sector on the day. Consumer names tied to weak guidance (Victoria’s Secret, Tyson, Campbell’s) were the cleanest large-cap fundamental losers.

Most active names included Nvidia, a SpaceX-related listing (SPCX), Nokia, Nu Holdings, and the usual mega-cap tape. Volume was heavy in HOOD, MSTR, SNOW, and several crypto names.

Percentages can differ slightly by data vendor (close vs. last print). Microcaps and OTC names posted far larger percentage moves in both directions and are usually noise unless you trade that universe.

  MSTR (Strategy) 3-Month Price Outlook Chart (as of Aug 25, 2026 close ≈ $126.83) Key Context for the Outlook Current price : Closed at $126.83 on Aug 25, 2026 (+3.42%). Recent rebound from June/July lows near $82–$93, driven by Bitcoin strength. Analyst consensus (12-month targets): Average around $232–$243 (≈80–90% upside), with a recent raise to $175 by Canaccord (Buy). High targets reach $450+; lows near $125. Consensus rating is Moderate/Strong Buy. Short-term technical views : Mixed. Some see near-term resistance around $127–$132 with potential continuation higher if Bitcoin holds strength; others flag risk of pullback if momentum fades. Illustrative Scenarios (Next ~3 Months to late Nov 2026) The chart shows an illustrative path only (not a prediction or advice): Base case (green dashed): Gradual grind higher toward ~$180–$190, consistent with partial progress toward longer-term analyst targets if BTC remains constructive. Bull case (solid green): Stronge...
