TKO Group (TKO), Albemarle (ALB), Electronic Arts (EA), Micron Technology (MU) and Intel (INTC) were the top five S&P 500 index gainers on the stock market today. The benchmark index fell 0.2% in Monday's session.
TKO stock surged 10.2% to 180, vaulting above the 50-day line and breaking the downtrend of a flat base, offering an aggressive entry Monday morning. The traditional buy point is 182.60. Paramount Skydance (PSKY) signed a seven-year deal to be the exclusive U.S. broadcaster for all UFC events starting in 2026, airing on Paramount+ and CBS.
Albemarle stock leaped 7% to 80.76, retaking the 200-day line but closing well off the intraday high of 87.45, the best since late January. China's CATL, world's largest battery producer and a Tesla (TSLA) supplier, idled production at a major lithium mine. That sent lithium prices jumping, pushing up lithium plays such as Albemarle.
Electronic Arts jumped 5.05% to 176.11, hitting a record high. Shares of the video game giant have been running up since reporting earnings on July 29. EA stock cleared weeks of resistance around 161 last week.
Micron stock popped 4.1% to 123.75 after the memory chip giant guided higher for its August-ending fiscal fourth quarter. Shares are working on a 129.85 buy point from a cup base within a much-larger consolidation, according to MarketSurge analysis. MU stock triggered an early entry Friday as it jumped above the 50-day line and broke a trendline.
Intel stock bounced 3.7% to 20.68, but fell back from the 50-day and 200-moving averages. Intel CEO Lip-Tu Tan met President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday. Last week, Trump called for his removal over Tan's extensive ties to Chinese businesses.
