PRISM Mid-Day Movers: Beauty & Wellness and Oil & Gas are Todays Leaders.
Shares of Olaplex Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: OLPX) are ripping higher, up roughly 50%, as investors rotate back into the battered professional‑haircare name on growing optimism that its brand relaunch and new product slate can finally stabilize the business after a 90%+ drawdown from post‑IPO highs. The surge is being fueled by fresh analyst commentary highlighting upside to 2026 guidance of roughly $414–$435 million in net sales and early interest in the new No.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment, with traders also eyeing high short interest as fuel for a squeeze in a stock that had been heavily sold following weak Q4 2025 results and cautious 2026 outlook.
Shares of Battalion Oil Corporation (NYSE American: BATL) are jumping about 29% as the market continues to re‑rate the small‑cap E&P on the back of asset‑sale proceeds, fresh equity capital and geopolitical tailwinds for U.S. onshore crude producers. The move builds on a massive year‑to‑date run driven by the $60.1 million sale of its West Quito Draw Delaware Basin assets to MCM Energy Partners and an approximately $15 million private placement at $5.50 per share, which together have fortified liquidity and positioned Battalion to focus on higher‑return Delaware Basin development while traders also price in a risk premium for potential supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.

Biotricity (BTCY) up 28%
Knightscope (KSCP) up 11%
HUB Security (HUBC) down -34%
