A clear message was sent on Wall Street during the third week of April, signaling a new chapter in the artificial intelligence (AI) growth story. Astera Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALAB) saw its stock price climb an impressive 9% in a single day to close above $190.
This wasn't a quiet move; it was backed by a surge in trading activity, with over 10 million shares changing hands, a significant jump from its average volume of 5.28 million. This kind of high-conviction buying suggests a deeper shift in investor sentiment.
