STI, BB, – Solidion jumped 356% after unveiling an extreme-climate graphene battery platform for space applications. BlackBerry extended its rally on confidence in its turnaround, with CFO Tim Foote saying QNX revenue is expected to rise about 15%. Cisco reached a record
By the time Thursday’s trading closed, three familiar stock tickers looked like they were moving on the same pulse: the rush toward next-generation computing and artificial intelligence.
Solidion Technology (STI), BlackBerry (BB) and Cisco Systems (CSCO) each reached new 52-week highs as investors piled into companies seen as supplying critical components and infrastructure for AI growth.
STI was the standout. Shares of Solidion surged 356% to finish at a year’s high of $38.15. The move followed the company unveiling its extreme-climate graphene battery platform for space applications, including a patented battery technology designed to work in extreme temperatures.
Solidion is targeting growing space and lunar markets. Its batteries are built for satellites, space-based AI data centers, spacecraft, and future Moon missions. The pitch doesn’t stop at space. either: the battery technology can also be used in electric vehicles. AI data center backup power systems. and aerospace applications—an expansion that investors appear to be pricing in as multiple revenue streams.
That optimism spilled into retail sentiment as well. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for the stock rose to “extremely bullish” from “bullish” the previous day.
BlackBerry’s momentum was different in scale, but no less pointed. The stock extended its rally with a nearly 2% gain and moved into its third consecutive week of gains. The driver was confidence that the company’s multiyear restructuring efforts are reaching a successful conclusion.
At the 2026 Baird Global Consumer Conference, BlackBerry CFO Tim Foote said QNX revenue is expected to increase by roughly 15%. QNX is widely used in connected vehicles and industrial systems. and investors have been watching the software BlackBerry uses in safety-critical systems as well as its growing presence in AI-powered robotics and automotive technology.
The financial picture is also part of the appeal. BlackBerry expects to generate positive cash flow this year. And retail sentiment stayed strong, holding “extremely bullish” territory around the stock.
Cisco’s gain was steady and broad, turning into a record. Cisco reached a record high of $130.37 on Thursday as demand for AI-driven networking upgrades continued.
This week. Cisco unveiled Cisco Cloud Control. described as a single platform that helps people and AI agents manage IT systems together. The platform combines Cisco’s tools in one place. allowing users to create apps and AI agents using natural language. while also working with third-party software.
For investors, the thread running through all three moves is simple: when AI spending shifts from experiments to infrastructure, the companies positioned to support it—space power, embedded automotive software, and networking management—tend to get rewarded fast.
Still, the market’s timing matters. Solidion’s day was a leap—ending at $38.15 after a 356% surge—while BlackBerry added nearly 2% on turnaround confidence and Cisco climbed about 3% to $130.37 on continued data-center spending. Different stories. one shared outcome: fresh highs. and renewed belief that the next wave of computing will need more than just software.
