These 10 Firms Were Thursday’s Top Performers

Wall Street’s main indices closed higher again on Thursday, with the Dow eking out a 0.92-percent gain, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite grew 0.53 percent and 0.22 percent, respectively.

Ten companies, predominantly under the health, energy, and technology sectors—mirrored the gains on the back of stronger earnings performance and other catalysts fueling buying appetite.

10. Clover Health Investments Corp. (NASDAQ:CLOV)

Clover Health Investments Corp. (CLOV) resumed an eight-day winning streak on Thursday to end at $4.68 apiece—a new all-time high, as investor sentiment remained buoyed by news that its membership count jumped by 27 percent to 100,000 after the recent election period, signaling confidence in the company.

According to Clover Health, the growth in its membership was primarily driven by members switching from other plans, thanks to its robust plan benefits.

Clover Health said approximately 94 percent of members are enrolled in its Medicare Advantage PPO plan which has been awarded a 4-star rating by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

Earning a 4-star rating means the company demonstrated a high level of quality and performance compared to other Medicare Advantage plans.
