Stocks That Could Go Up on Monday, October 19, 2026

Target: the expected rise from the open to the day’s high; confidence: the chance we gave it of getting there. “To the high” and “to the close” are counted from the 9:30 AM opening price.

1. 1

   Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF)

   Materials (steel) · Up sharply pre-market after the report; early reports put the gain near 12%

   ▲ +2.5% target

   57% confidence

   EarningsCleveland-Cliffs Reports Third-Quarter 2026 Results — Cleveland-Cliffs (SEC filing)

   Third-quarter adjusted EBITDA was $612 million, above the $575 million the company guided in July, on revenue of $5.6 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.28. Cliffs guided fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA to about $715 million and now expects 2027 adjusted EBITDA above $4 billion, up from the $3.3 billion it pointed to in July, while promising a major debt reduction in the fourth quarter.

   Risk: After a double-digit gap, part of the move may be given back in the first hour as early buyers take profits.

   Intel (INTC)

   Semiconductors · About +4% pre-market

   ▲ +2% target

   56% confidence

   UpgradeJPMorgan upgrades Intel to Neutral from Underweight — Investing.com

   JPMorgan analyst Harlan Sur lifted Intel to Neutral, citing a more balanced risk-reward as the stock nears the firm's $85 target after a roughly 36% fall from its June peak. The upgrade lands as chip stocks bounce after Intel lost about 10% last week, and CEO Lip-Bu Tan told Nikkei the restructuring is about 80% complete.

   Risk: Neutral is still not a Buy, and the stock stays tied to swings in AI chip sentiment before its October 29 report.

   Datadog (DDOG)

   Software · +3.6% pre-market

   ▲ +2% target

   55% confidence

   UpgradeBernstein upgrades Datadog to Outperform, raises target to $350 from $237 — Investing.com

   Bernstein moved Datadog to Outperform from Market Perform and raised its price target by about 48%, to $350 from $237, a large reset that tends to draw follow-through buying on the first day. A firmer Nasdaq open adds support for high-growth software.

   Risk: Software was hit by last week's AI-spending worries, and a fading tech rebound would cap the gain.

   Nebius Group (NBIS)

   AI cloud infrastructure · +3.6% pre-market

   ▲ +3% target

   54% confidence

   NewsTruist reiterates Buy on Nebius with a $355 target after a 21% weekly drop — Investing.com

   Nebius closed at $165.47 on October 16 after a nearly 12% drop that day and about 21% over the week; Truist's Buy rating and $355 target, more than double that close, give dip buyers a reason to step in as AI infrastructure names rebound. The stock routinely moves several percent a day, so a 3% push above the open is within its normal range.

   Risk: Worries about AI funding costs, which hit CoreWeave last week, could return and reverse the bounce.

   Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)

   Semiconductors · Rising pre-market with chip stocks after a 10% drop last week

   ▲ +2% target

   52% confidence

   SectorAI chip stocks Nvidia, Broadcom, AMD and Intel rise in premarket after last week's sell-off — TipRanks

   AMD fell about 10% over the last five sessions and the SOXX semiconductor ETF more than 7% on concerns about debt-funded AI spending; with Nasdaq-100 futures up 1.1%, the most oversold, highest-beta chip names usually bounce hardest. Lam Research and Texas Instruments report on October 21, which keeps attention on chip demand.

   Risk: A rebound without company news can fade quickly if the AI-credit worries resurface.

   Silgan Holdings (SLGN)

   Packaging · +5.5% pre-market

   ▲ +1.5% target

   50% confidence

   DealSilgan Announces Strategic Portfolio Acceleration; Establishes Partnership to Acquire Trivium — Silgan Holdings (SEC filing)

   Silgan and American Industrial Partners will buy Trivium at an enterprise value of about $3.4 billion, 7.1x trailing adjusted EBITDA or 4.8x after $225 million of expected synergies. Silgan expects at least 15% accretion to adjusted EPS and free cash flow and receives about $2.3 billion in cash to retire debt, and it confirmed its 2026 outlook.

   Risk: The deal does not close until mid-2027 and needs regulatory approval, so some holders may sell the pop.

   SectorAI chip stocks Nvidia, Broadcom, AMD and Intel rise in premarket after last week's sell-off — TipRanks

   Broadcom lost about 7% last week, leaving analysts' average target of $519.21 about 58% above the price; custom AI chips are the theme investors are buying back into. A 1.1% gain in Nasdaq-100 futures points to a firm open for large-cap chips.

   Risk: Broadcom does not report until December, so the bounce depends on the market mood.

   From $338.75 at 9:30 AM:high +0.43% at 11:52 AMclose −1.23%day +1.78%✗ Missed +1.8%

   Nvidia (NVDA)

   Semiconductors · Rising pre-market with chip stocks after a 5% drop last week

   ▲ +1.5% target

   49% confidence

   SectorAI chip stocks Nvidia, Broadcom, AMD and Intel rise in premarket after last week's sell-off — TipRanks

   Nvidia fell about 5% last week in the AI-spending sell-off and carries the most weight in any chip rebound; Nasdaq-100 futures up 1.1% point to buyers returning. Its daily moves are smaller than AMD's or Intel's, hence the lower 1.5% target.

   Risk: Large-cap leaders can lag if the bounce rotates into the hardest-hit names.

• Every trading day at 9:00 AM ET, before the 9:30 AM open, we read last night’s and the morning’s company news — earnings and guidance, analyst upgrades, deals and contracts, product and regulatory news, index changes — and pick the 6–10 liquid US stocks most likely to rise that day.
• Each pick gets a target (the expected rise from the open to the day’s high) and a confidence (the chance of getting there), and we weigh the size of the surprise, the pre-market move and the market’s mood. Stocks under $5, thinly traded ones, and targets of cash takeovers are left out.
• Each list is measured from the moment it could be acted on: the 9:30 AM opening price, or the minute it went public if that was later. “To the high” is the rise from there to the session’s highest price; “to the close”, to the closing price. A pick reaches its target when its rise to the high is at least the target.
• The S&P 500 ETF (SPY) over the same minutes is shown as the bar to beat. Results are live while the market trades and final after the close; every past list stays online with its results.
