Top Winners and Losers
Surrozen [SRZN] $33.68 (+108.42%)
Surrozen more than doubled after submitting an Investigational New Drug application to the FDA for SZN-8141, opening the path toward clinical trials in diabetic macular edema.
The therapy combines Wnt pathway activation with VEGF inhibition in a single molecule. That regulatory step gave traders a fresh milestone to trade, sending the stock sharply higher after a long stretch of volatility.
Greenland Energy Company [GLND] $5.35 (+83.85%)
Greenland Energy surged after extending its Jameson Land farm-out agreement with 80 Mile, pushing the longstop dates for two planned exploration wells out to Dec. 31, 2028. Greenland Energy will also take responsibility for securing the required drilling permits and pay 80 Mile £500,000 under the amended agreement.
The extension gives the project more time to progress through permitting and preparation.
Greenland Mines [GRML] $14.89 (+33.07%)
Greenland Mines kept riding the critical-minerals theme after the U.S.-Denmark-Greenland security agreement put fresh attention on the territory’s rare-earth resources.
The company has also been expanding its position in the Sarfartoq rare-earth district, giving traders multiple reasons to keep the Greenland trade active. The latest move follows several days of unusually strong interest across the sector.
Trio-Tech International [TRT] $7.26 (-36.59%)
Trio-Tech tumbled despite reporting fiscal 2026 revenue growth of 72% to $62.6 million. The problem was profitability: the company recorded a $204,000 operating loss versus $254,000 of operating income a year earlier, while gross margin fell to 16.6% from 25.1%.
The numbers showed much stronger sales, but considerably less conversion of that growth into operating profit.
Artelo Biosciences [ARTL] $5.17 (-29.27%)
Artelo gave back a large portion of its recent gains after the stock’s earlier obesity-related excitement cooled. The company had reported that ART27.13 produced roughly 20% weight loss as a monotherapy and about 40% when combined with semaglutide in obese mice.
Those are nonclinical findings, and the stock’s sharp swings show how quickly enthusiasm around early-stage biotech data can reverse.
Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. V [IPEX] $7.48 (-19.57%)
Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. V slid as investors continued to digest the mechanics surrounding its pending combination with GOWell Technology. The company had already extended its redemption deadline earlier in September, while shareholders subsequently approved the business combination.
With the transaction still moving through its closing process, the SPAC remains highly sensitive to deal-related developments and the amount of capital ultimately remaining in the trust.

You Read This Far. Here's Where the Real Work Lives.
We run three live portfolios on Autopilot, and everything about them is public: every position, every allocation, every trade, visible the moment it happens.
We keep our own money in each one, because analysis you won't fund yourself is just content.
THE UNBREAKABLE STACK
Our growth book: durable software and cybersecurity names built to compound quietly for years.
THE HORMUZ PREMIUM
Our energy thesis: built for how that sector actually pays, over quarters, not headlines.
THE ELON INDEX
Our conviction bet on the Musk universe: Tesla, and the companies orbiting his ventures, energy, AI, infrastructure. High-beta by design, for investors who want direct exposure to the trade rather than watching it from the sidelines.
And here's the part that makes it effortless: Autopilot does the trading for you. Connect the brokerage you already use (Robinhood, Schwab, Fidelity, and more) and every move we make gets mirrored in your own account automatically.
Your money never leaves your brokerage. It stays in your account, under your control, and you can override any trade or disconnect anytime. Autopilot even rebalances automatically when allocations drift, and you get a notification every time something happens.
No watching tickers. No timing entries. No fat-finger mistakes at market open. You pick the portfolio, we do the work, your account follows along.
Pick the one that fits your risk level, or run all three:
Live portfolios, real positions, our own capital at stake. Your funds stay in your own brokerage account. Past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
That's it for today! Please, write us back, and let us know what you think of the Closing Bell Roundup. We're always eager to hear feedback!
Thanks for reading. I'll see you at the next open!
Best Regards,
— Adam G.
