<p>Amgen led the pack with an impressive 12.79% surge, reaching a live price of $314, up from the previous close of $278.39. Wall Street’s excitement over the company’s weight-loss drug fueled this remarkable increase, marking Amgen’s best day since 2009. Live Nation Entertainment (NYSE: LYV) followed closely with an 8.64% increase, as its stock price climbed to $95.9 from $88.27, driven by a boom in concert ticket sales that led to revenue outperforming estimates.</p>
<p>Apple also had a strong showing, rising by 6.66% to hit $184.55, up from $173.03. The company’s announcement of a $110 billion buyback and a positive earnings report propelled this jump, resulting in its most significant rally in 18 months. <br><br>Enphase Energy (NASDAQ: ENPH) gained 6.42%, with its price moving to $112.87 from $106.06, as the company’s expansion of deployments in Florida showcased strong investor interest. Booking Holdings (NASDAQ: BKNG) went up by 5.3%, reaching $3,657.09 from $3,472.91, as analysts adjusted their price targets <a href="https://www.streetinsider.com/Analyst+Comments/Booking+Holdings+%28BKNG%29+PT+Raised+to+%244%2C150+at+DA+Davidson/23167502.html" target="_blank" aria-label="upwards (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">upwards</a>, reflecting confidence in the company’s growth.</p>
