Oil prices hit the brakes on Monday, and Wall Street hit the gas. Investors welcomed a sharp drop in crude prices, while technology stocks staged a comeback after last week’s selloff. The Nasdaq led the charge with a 2.74 percent jump, followed by the S&P 500’s 2.35 percent gain and the Dow Jones’ 2.15 percent climb. Apparently, cheaper oil was just the pep talk the market needed.
But those gains looked almost modest next to Monday’s biggest standouts. Ten stocks rocketed between 15 and 38 percent in a single session, delivering the kind of moves that make investors check their screens twice—and briefly regret everything else on their watchlists. What sent these stocks flying? Below, we reveal their names and unpack the developments behind their rallies.
To build the list, we screened for stocks with market capitalizations above $1 billion and trading volumes of at least 5 million shares.

10 Stocks With Easy 15-30% Price Spikes
10. Intuitive Machines Inc. (NASDAQ:LUNR)
NASA’s Lunar Delivery Program Gives the Stock a Lift
Intuitive Machines, Inc. (NASDAQ: LUNR) climbed 15% on Monday, November 9, closing at $12.04 as investors welcomed its selection for NASA’s next-generation Commercial Lunar Payload Services 2 program. For a company whose business involves reaching the Moon, the stock delivered a suitably enthusiastic response closer to home.
The selection opens another avenue for future government contracts. Under CLPS 2, NASA can procure services ranging from payload delivery and direct lander acquisitions to technology development. The expanded scope includes orbital delivery, launch rideshares, surface mobility, precision landing, lunar-night survival, and payload operations. That gives the company more opportunities to compete for work as NASA develops its lunar infrastructure.
The headline contract value requires some perspective. CLPS 2 carries a combined ceiling of $10 billion across all awardees, potentially rising to $15 billion if NASA exercises a five-year option. That ceiling represents the program’s collective purchasing capacity; it is not revenue already awarded to Intuitive Machines, Inc. (NASDAQ: LUNR). Actual business will depend on subsequent task orders under the approximately 10-year framework and any extension.
Nevertheless, the company enters the competition with an established record. It has received six previous NASA CLPS task orders, including a $180.4 million award in March for its larger Nova-D cargo lander and another award in June worth up to $148.3 million for a production line-qualified Nova-C lander. Those contracts provide a more concrete foundation for the investment story than the master contract’s eye-catching ceiling alone.
Earnings Will Test the Revenue Growth Story
The next catalyst arrives on Thursday, November 12, when Intuitive Machines, Inc. (NASDAQ: LUNR) is scheduled to release third-quarter results before the market opens. Investors will look for progress against its previously issued full-year revenue guidance of $900 million to $1 billion, alongside updates on project execution and contract conversion. Monday’s rally rewarded the opportunity; the earnings report will help investors assess delivery.
Ranking rationale: The 15% advance places the company at No. 10 within the supplied countdown. NASA’s selection provides an identifiable business catalyst, although future task-order wins will determine how much of that opportunity becomes revenue.
