What Happened: Medicare Advantage provider Clover Health is seeing the highest interest on the forum with 441 mentions, followed by lithium-ion battery maker Microvast with 412 mentions, data from Quiver Quantitative showed.

Exchange-traded fund S&P SPDR 500 ETF Trust SPY and biotechnology company Moderna attracted 392 mentions each.

Why It Matters: Shares of Clover Health rose in Wednesday’s extended trading session after the company reported better-than-expected sales results for the second quarter and also issued full-year sales guidance above estimates.

Vaccine makers Moderna and Pfizer continue to attract retail interest as the COVID-19 delta variant spreads in the U.S. and around the world. However, Moderna’s shares tumbled on Wednesday amid fears concerning stretched valuation and potential side effects from its mRNA vaccine.

Palantir Technologies and SoFi Technologies are scheduled to report their quarterly results on Thursday.
