Top 20 US stock trading volumes on April 2: Several sources say SpaceX has secretly filed for an IPO.

On Wednesday, U.S. stock trading volume ranked No. 1 to Nvidia, which rose 0.77% and had trading volume of $29.39B. It was reported that OpenAI completed a $122 billion financing, with investors including Amazon, Nvidia, Microsoft, and others participating. The investors in this round of OpenAI financing include well-known companies such as Amazon, Nvidia, Microsoft, and SoftBank, among others. OpenAI’s corporate valuation is about $852 billion, and it expanded retail investors’ participation pathways through banking channels.

第2名Micron rose 8.88% and had trading volume of $26.98B. On Wednesday, the U.S. storage sector surged across the board. Western Digital, SanDisk, Micron Technology, Seagate Technology, and others all jumped. On the news front, after previously announcing the shutdown of related products involving “thin small-size packaging,” on March 31, storage chip major Kioxia released its latest notice of shutdown.

第3名Tesla rose 2.56% and had trading volume of $21.96B. Multiple sources confirmed to the media that Elon Musk’s SpaceX has secretly submitted its initial public offering application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

A well-known financial media outlet whose founder had previously served as the mayor of New York City was the first to report this development on Wednesday. The report said that the filing would put the company on track to go public in June, and noted that a representative for SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The company merged this February with Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI to form a joint entity that, at the time, was valued by Musk at $1.25 trillion.

第4名SanDisk rose 9.03% and had trading volume of $12.5k. On Wednesday, the U.S. storage sector surged across the board. Western Digital, SanDisk, Micron Technology, Seagate Technology, and others all jumped. On the news front, after previously announcing the shutdown of related products involving “thin small-size packaging,” on March 31, storage chip major Kioxia released its latest notice of shutdown.

第6名Google Class A shares rose 3.42% and had trading volume of $15.23B. Google has newly launched Veo 3.1 Lite. This model enables developers to build high-capacity video applications at a cost below that of a typical Veo 3.1 Fast version. Veo 3.1 Lite completes the Veo 3.1 model series, providing developers with on-demand flexibility.

第10名AMD rose 3.33% and had trading volume of $11.11B. Wells Fargo included the chipmaker in its tactical stock-picking list for the second quarter.

The firm expects that the market will have a positive setup before AMD reports first-quarter results scheduled for May 5, citing strong demand for EPYC server CPUs and the potential release of AI GPUs. Wells Fargo also noted that AMD’s “Accelerate AI” event in July could become a catalyst.

Analyst Aran Lacks reiterated a “buy” rating for the stock, with a target price of $345, implying potential upside from current levels. Although AMD’s stock price has gained nearly 98% over the past 12 months, it is still down about 2% year-to-date.

Before this trading activity took place, there was a prank report claiming that AMD had agreed to acquire Intel, a claim that drew attention on the internet on April 1. As of now, there is no reliable information supporting an acquisition deal between these two chipmakers.

第12名Intel rose 8.84% and had trading volume of $8.49B. According to reports, Intel will spend $14.2 billion to repurchase Apollo Global Management’s 49% stake in its Fab 34 plant located in Leixlip, Ireland. The plant was sold to Apollo in 2024 for $11.2 billion. This repurchase enables Intel to fully regain ownership of the plant. The transaction will be funded using existing cash and about $6.5 billion in新增 debt. Intel expects that starting in 2027, this move will increase profits and strengthen its credit profile.

The initial sale took place during a period when the company’s finances were under pressure. Since then, Intel has carried out a large-scale restructuring, including layoffs, asset sales, and support of tens of billions of dollars from Nvidia, along with funding from the U.S. government. Chief Financial Officer David Zinsner said, “Now, we have a stronger balance sheet, stricter financial discipline, and an ever-evolving corporate strategy.”

This timing also reflects changes in Intel’s demand environment. After missing out on most of the opportunities in the initial AI boom, the company is regaining market attention in the central processing units needed for data center inference workloads (i.e., the process by which AI tools respond to user queries).

第13名Exxon Mobil fell 5.23% and had trading volume of $6.16B. Exxon Mobil’s stock fell on Wednesday, tracking the pullback in crude oil prices as optimism about potential easing of tensions between the U.S. and Iran rose among investors over the coming weeks.

Despite short-term pressure, the overall outlook for this energy giant remains supported by strong fundamentals and elevated oil prices.

On Wednesday, oil producers on U.S. stocks generally declined. Earlier, remarks from U.S. President Trump suggested that the conflict could ease, leading to a drop in crude oil prices. Due to supply disruptions and geopolitical tensions, oil prices had previously surged to above $100 per barrel, but as the market began to factor in expectations that the war might end, oil prices came down.

The outlook for the Strait of Hormuz (a waterway that previously carried about 20% of global oil and natural gas transport) to resume operations will ease market concerns that supplies would remain constrained. The decline in crude oil prices put pressure on energy stocks; energy stocks had been one of the strongest-performing sectors in recent months.

第15名Eli Lilly rose 3.78% and had trading volume of $6.12B. Eli Lilly’s oral GLP-1 weight-loss drug was approved by the FDA for once-daily dosing with no dietary restrictions. The company announced that the FDA approved Foundayo (orforglipron), which is a once-daily oral GLP-1 therapy for treating obesity or overweight adults with related conditions.

The drug is the first oral tablet in its class that can be taken without restrictions on food intake or drinking water. Compared with Novo Nordisk’s oral semaglutide (Wegovy oral formulation), it has convenience advantages, since the latter requires strict adherence to dosing conditions including taking it on an empty stomach.

Lilly said that Foundayo will be provided through its LillyDirect platform. For commercially insured patients, the starting price is $25 per month, and for self-pay patients it is $149 per month. The company is working to achieve broader accessibility, and expects that starting in July 2026, pricing for Medicare Part D will be about $50 per month.

第16名Nike fell 15.51% and had trading volume of $5.15 billion. The stock posted its worst single-day performance since early April 2025. Previously, this sporting goods retailer issued a weak outlook. Nike’s earnings guidance outweighed its third-quarter results that beat expectations. The stock has fallen nearly 30% cumulatively in 2026 and may record a year-over-year decline for a fifth consecutive year.
