Stocks are starting the first full week of April off on a high note. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI), Nasdaq Composite (IXIC), and S&P 500 Index (SPX) are all higher this afternoon, despite President Donald Trump calling a ceasefire proposal with Iran "not good enough," while Iran also reportedly rejected the deal and emphasized the need for a definitive end to the war. Oil prices are flat, while Wall Street's "fear gauge" -- the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) -- is looking to snap a four-day losing streak.
United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: UAL) stock is seeing a surge in options activity today. At last glance, over 260,000 calls have changed hands, volume that's 13 times the average intraday amount. Almost all the attention is at the April 105- and 125-strike calls. UAL was last seen 0.9% lower to trade at $91.34, after introducing tiered fare categories for its premium cabins. The airline stock is down 18.4% in 2026, and has taken a 23% haircut off its Jan. 7 all-time high of $119.21.
Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ: AEHR) is one of the best stocks on the Nasdaq today, last last seen up 16.5% to trade at $51.62, heading for a fourth-straight win. While there's no specific catalyst driving this positive price action, AEHR is 154.3% higher in 2026 and hit a two-year high of $52.25 earlier. The semiconductor supplier traded at $6.61 only a year ago.
Enphase Energy Inc (NASDAQ: ENPH) stock is near the bottom of the Nasdaq, down 3.7% to trade at $33.65. The solar energy company is reeling from a class action lawsuit filed last week over potentially misleading investors over prior earnings results as well as guidance. ENPH fell 8.8% on Friday and is now trading at its lowest level since January. The shares are down 41.5% in the last 12 months but are holding their year-to-date breakeven level today.
