Health Care Stocks Lead the Day: INLF Soars (Oct 29, 2026)
It was a strong session for health care names: 3 of them made the list of top U.S. gainers, with INLIF Limited (INLF:NASDAQ) up 47.2%. PicoCELA Inc. (PCLA:NASDAQ) led the whole market with 86.1%. 25 U.S. stocks gained 20% or more. In Canada, Bausch Health Companies Inc. (BHC:TSX) topped the list with 28.3%. 7 of the 10 biggest U.S. gainers had a news headline in the last two days.
The five biggest U.S. losers shared little beyond the size of their drops. LVWR fell 43.7%, XRX 40.3%, OPTT 38.3%, IOVA 35.4% and AXG 34.9%. They come from capital goods, technology, public utilities, health care and a miscellaneous bucket, and they trade on the NYSE, NASDAQ and NYSEMKT. Share prices ranged from $0.42 for OPTT to $9.56 for IOVA. No headline information accompanies any of the five, so the reasons for the declines are unclear. The slide came on a day when 58% of U.S. stocks finished higher, which made these moves stand out.
