Five9, LiveRamp, ZoomInfo, DigitalOcean, and Zeta Global Shares Are Soaring, What You Need To Know
A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after comments from President Trump regarding talks with Iran sparked a broad market rally.
The positive sentiment spread across Wall Street, creating a widespread relief rally with nine out of every ten stocks in the S&P 500 rising. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq composite both posted gains of around 2%. This risk-on environment, fueled by the perception of reduced geopolitical conflict, often benefits growth-oriented sectors like technology as investors move capital into assets perceived to have higher return potential.
The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks.
Among others, the following stocks were impacted:
ZoomInfo’s shares are very volatile and have had 28 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 25 days ago when the stock gained 3.4% on the news that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang dismissed fears that artificial intelligence would cannibalize the enterprise software sector.
High-growth names like Zscaler (ZS) and CrowdStrike (CRWD) saw significant rebounds as investors reassessed the “AI headwind” narrative that had previously weighed on valuations. Huang’s comments acted as a powerful catalyst, signaling that the intersection of generative AI and established software platforms is a symbiotic relationship rather than a zero-sum game. During a CNBC appearance, Huang argued that the market “got it wrong,” specifically defending the indispensable role of platforms like ServiceNow. He emphasized that these companies are uniquely positioned to deploy fine-tuned AI agents that utilize their existing specialized tools.
