BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (BBAI)
Exchange: NYSE
52 Week High: ~$10.36 | 52 Week Low: ~$1.36.
Today’s Closing Price: ~$8.00.
Recent Performance: Highly volatile but mostly range-bound in the ~$7–$9 band after guidance cuts and accounting-restatement headlines pressured the shares.
Description: BigBear.ai provides AI-powered “decision intelligence” software and analytics to defense, national security and industrial customers, spanning mission planning, force readiness, logistics and computer vision. The company’s focus is U.S. federal/IC programs plus select commercial verticals.
Sector: Technology / Software—Application
Bullish Or Bearish: Neutral to cautiously bearish — defense-AI exposure is attractive, but restatement risk and lowered outlook keep sentiment mixed near term.
Exchange: NYSE
52 Week High: ~$358.88 | 52 Week Low: ~$256.89.
Today’s Closing Price: ~$290.08.
Recent Performance: Mostly range-bound in the high-$280s to low-$290s over the past two weeks and still ~19% below the 52-week high.
Description: Cigna is a global health company combining a health-insurance business (Cigna Healthcare) with Evernorth Health Services (pharmacy benefits and care services). Scale in employer/commercial plans and PBM operations anchors cash flow and competitive positioning.
Sector: Healthcare / Healthcare Plans.
Bullish Or Bearish: Cautiously bullish — several brokers maintain Buy-level argets (e.g., UBS $390) while shares trade at a discount to recent highs.
Exchange: Nasdaq
52 Week High: ~$73.80 | 52 Week Low: ~$41.37.
Today’s Closing Price: ~$41.94.
Recent Performance: Pulled back into the low-$40s over the last couple of weeks following its first post-IPO earnings miss, with wide daily swings typical for new listings.
Description: Firefly develops launch and space services for government and commercial customers and came public in August 2025. Coverage is early, and the stock is trading more on execution beats/misses than on long history.
Sector: Industrials / Aerospace & Defense
Bullish Or Bearish: Speculative neutral — long-term space-launch demand and early “Buy”-leaning coverage are positives, but fresh-IPO volatility and execution risk are high.
Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. (BNED)
Exchange: NYSE
52 Week High: ~$14.41 | 52 Week Low: ~$7.90.
Today’s Closing Price: ~$9.43.
Recent Performance: Choppy around ~$9–$10 as accounting review/restatement news and earlier delisting concerns offset back-to-school seasonality.
Description: Operates campus bookstores and course-materials programs for colleges (Barnes & Noble College), with growing “First Day® Complete” inclusive-access bundles delivering all required materials by day one. Management continues to tout campus adoption and cost-savings benefits for students.
Sector: Consumer Discretionary / Specialty Retail
Bullish Or Bearish: Bearish/high-risk — accounting and listing overhangs and thin liquidity outweigh the First Day® momentum for most investors right now.
Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation (BAH)
Exchange: NYSE
52 Week High: ~$190.59 | 52 Week Low: ~$98.75.
Today’s Closing Price: ~$99.48.
Recent Performance: Drifted toward the bottom of its 52-week range and is consolidating around ~$100 this month.
Description: The largest pure-play U.S. government consulting firm, Booz Allen delivers analytics, cyber, AI and engineering solutions across defense, intelligence and civil agencies. Its positioning as a leading federal AI and cybersecurity partner underpins long-term demand.
Sector: Industrials / Professional Services—Consulting
Bullish Or Bearish: Cautiously bullish — secular spend on cyber/AI and mission IT supports the story after the valuation reset, though federal budget timing can add chop.
Exchange: NYSE
52 Week High: ~$228.42 | 52 Week Low: ~$85.88.
Today’s Closing Price: ~$136.73.
Recent Performance: Rebounded into the mid-$130s after a summer slide, building a base well below prior AI-semiconductor highs.
Description: Onto supplies semiconductor process-control tools — metrology, defect inspection, lithography and smart-manufacturing software — with particular strength in advanced packaging. Exposure to next-gen nodes and packaging flows ties results to AI-driven fab spending.
Sector: Technology / Semiconductor Equipment
Bullish Or Bearish: Bullish long-term — strong positioning in advanced packaging/process control, though WFE cyclicality can drive near-term swings.
