Ape News: Billions Traded! BKNG, RDDT, GTLS Lead the Swinging!

Ape News Flash: Market’s Hottest Stocks – What’s Got Traders Buzzing? – August 9, 2025

Greetings, fellow primates! H.R. Rambe here, bringing you the latest from the trading floor, courtesy of Ape News. Today, we're peeling back the layers on which stocks are currently seeing the most action. Forget the slow movers – we're talking about the stocks traders are absolutely swinging from!

Our analysts at Ape News have been crunching the numbers, and the data is clear: volume is king! And right now, a diverse bunch of companies are leading the charge.

Topping the list, believe it or not, is Booking Holdings (BKNG). Seems everyone’s finally booking those vacations they’ve been putting off! They're seeing a massive 1.02 billion shares traded today. Right alongside them is Reddit (RDDT), also clocking in at 1.02 billion. The chatter on their platform is clearly translating to trader interest. And surprisingly, Chart Industries (GTLS) is right up there with them, also hitting 1.02 billion – a real dark horse in this race!

But it’s not all tech and travel. The old guard is still flexing its muscles. Citigroup (C) is consistently active with nearly 999 million shares changing hands, and energy giant Chevron (CVX) is right behind at 981 million. People are clearly still hedging their bets on traditional industries.

We're also seeing strong movement in consumer staples. Chipotle (CMG) is attracting a lot of attention – maybe everyone is craving a good burrito? – with 936 million shares traded. And the titans of consumer goods, Procter & Gamble (PG), are consistently popular, moving nearly 900 million shares.

Interestingly, technology continues to dominate. Lam Research (LRCX) and MongoDB (MDB) are showing impressive volume, proving that investors are still hungry for innovation. And for those keeping an eye on future tech, IonQ (IONQ) and NuScale Power (SMR) are seeing surprisingly high activity – a sign of potential growth, perhaps?

Now, a word of caution from your friendly neighborhood ape. High volume doesn’t automatically mean a stock is a good buy. It just means a lot of folks are trading it! Do your research, understand the fundamentals, and don't get swept up in the frenzy.

As always, stay informed, stay vigilant, and keep those bananas peeled! This is H.R. Rambe, signing off for Ape News.
