On Tuesday, Tesla ranked No. 1 in U.S. stock trading volume, closing up 0.51% with a transaction volume of $45.393 billion. Tesla CEO Elon Musk pledged on Tuesday to continue leading the electric vehicle manufacturer for the next five years, hoping to retain the position of CEO to maintain control over the company.

 

He said he hopes to have "sufficient voting control" to avoid being removed by activist investors, adding, "This is not about money but about reasonable control over the company’s future."

 

Musk also said he plans to drastically reduce political donations in the future and confirmed that Tesla plans to launch autonomous taxis in June.

 

NVIDIA ranked No. 2, falling 0.88% with a transaction volume of $21.424 billion. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang recently announced an updated robotics development infrastructure and launched a new generation of humanoid robot foundational model, Isaac GR00T N1.5.

 

UnitedHealth Group ranked No. 3, closing up 1.8% with a transaction volume of $13.156 billion. The stock has now risen for three consecutive trading days.

 

Several factors have recently driven UnitedHealth's share price higher. First, the market is optimistic about a short-term rebound for UnitedHealth. Insider information shows the company has received strong internal recommendations, with top analysts all issuing "buy" ratings. This has undoubtedly boosted investor confidence and improved market sentiment.

 

Additionally, while Bank of America downgraded UnitedHealth's stock rating, its underlying investment value appears to be favored by market participants, leading investors to take a positive view of its future prospects and driving the share price higher.

 

The third factor is U.S. Congressman John McGuire's recent purchase of UnitedHealth stock. This move is seen as a vote of confidence in UnitedHealth's future performance, virtually injecting a boost into the stock's rebound. Market participants generally believe that such political figures' involvement may signal UnitedHealth's long-term investment value and stability.

 

Google's Class A shares ranked No. 5, falling 1.54% with a transaction volume of $7.684 billion. Google officially announced on Tuesday that Google Search has officially entered an AI mode, which will be gradually rolled out in the U.S. market starting today.

 

Google said Search is becoming smarter, more proactive, and more personalized. People are happier when using AI overviews and search more frequently. Query volumes with overviews have increased by 10%. "One of the most successful launches in search in the past decade." Additionally, Google Lens query volumes have increased by 65% year-over-year.

The computer is the sixth evolution of the Advantage2 quantum computer and the most advanced system, accessible via its cloud service, increasing energy scale by 40% and reducing noise by 75%.

 

With Google and Microsoft releasing new chips, quantum computers are expected to solve complex tasks that ordinary computers cannot, attracting investor attention.
