Live rankings

Today's US market movers

Three rankings from the same snapshot, refreshed through the session. The point of putting them on one page is the comparison: a name that is on both the gainers list and the most-active list is a different situation from one that is only on the first.

Snapshot from within the last 5 minutes · US listings

Top gainers

All 50
Ranked by percent change. Percentage says nothing about how much was traded.

Most active

All 50
Ranked by volume. This is where a move has weight behind it rather than thin liquidity.

Two boards, two different claims

A percentage board and a volume board answer different questions, and reading either one alone is how a move gets misjudged. The gainers list is sorted by percent change, which is scale-free: a stock trading a few hundred thousand shares can print +40% on an order that would not register in a large cap. The most-active list is sorted by volume, which says a lot of money changed hands and nothing at all about which direction the price went.

The symbols that appear on both are the ones worth a second look. A large percentage move on heavy volume is a repricing that a lot of participants agreed with; the same move on thin volume is a handful of trades and can be undone by a handful more. That is the comparison the badge on this page marks, and it is the reason the three boards are shown together rather than on separate pages.

What no ranking can tell you is why. Earnings, guidance, a trial result, an index addition, a short squeeze and one oversized order all look identical in a percentage column. Each symbol here links to its own page, where the recent news sits next to the chart — which is the only place the question actually gets answered.

Questions people ask about this

How often does this update?
Through the US trading session, on the same feed the individual ranking pages use. The timestamp on the page is the moment the snapshot was taken, not the moment you loaded it — a page served from cache states its own vintage rather than implying it is live.
Why does a stock appear on the gainers list with almost no volume?
Because percentage change and liquidity are unrelated. A thinly traded small cap can print +40% on a few thousand shares, and that move is far easier to reverse than a 4% move in a name trading tens of millions. Reading the movers list next to the most-active list is the cheapest defence against this.
Does a big move mean there is news?
Usually, but not always, and the ranking itself cannot tell you which. Earnings, guidance, an approval, an index change and a single large order all look identical in a percentage column. Each symbol links through to its own page, where the recent news sits next to the chart.

Data

How it was calculated
The three boards are one snapshot of the same feed. Gainers and losers rank by percent change against the previous close; most active ranks by session volume. The overlap badge marks a symbol that also appears on the volume board. US listings only.
How often it changes
Refreshed through the US session. The snapshot is cached for five minutes, so the figures can be up to five minutes behind the market.
