These 2 Hot Stocks Gave the Nasdaq a Boost Tuesday
The stock market has been tough to predict lately, with major market benchmarks remaining relatively close to all-time record highs but having trouble regaining momentum. Investors remain somewhat concerned about growth stocks, and that's a big reason why the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) remains off its best levels. The Nasdaq was up just 0.1% as of 1:30 p.m. EDT.
However, a couple of stocks experienced much larger gains on Tuesday that helped keep the Nasdaq in positive territory. UP Fintech Holding (NASDAQ: TIGR) has been a big winner in the red-hot fintech industry lately, and its stock added to recent gains in today's session. Meanwhile, The Joint Corp. (NASDAQ: JYNT) is hardly a household name among most investors, but the stock got a boost as it will soon enjoy a much higher profile on Wall Street.
Shares of UP Fintech were higher by 16% Tuesday afternoon. The Chinese financial company posted solid quarterly results that highlighted the full extent of its growth opportunities.
