AEye rockets 150% on Nvidia deal - is LIDR the next hidden AI gem or pump-and-dump trap? Screen for similar lidar plays.

The stock market can be unpredictable, and the scenario you've described, where AEye (LIDR) experienced a significant surge due to an Nvidia deal, is a clear example of how news and partnerships can impact stock prices. However, whether LIDR represents a hidden AI gem or a pump-and-dump trap depends on various factors, including the company's fundamentals, growth prospects, and the sustainability of the partnership with Nvidia.

To screen for similar lidar plays, we should focus on companies that are involved in the Lidar technology space and have potential for growth, especially those that are also associated with AI themes. Here are the criteria we will use:

1. **Involvement in Lidar Technology**
- Theme is Lidar
2. **AI Theme Association**
- AI Theme
3. **Significant Stock Movement**
- Percentage Change > 10%

Initially, we ran a query with the intention of identifying stocks that meet the criteria for a potential Nvidia-like deal. However, no results were found that meet all the specified criteria, including the percentage change greater than 10%. This could be due to the high bar set by the percentage change requirement, which might not have reflected the broader market dynamics.

Given the lack of results with the initial criteria, we adjusted the approach to simply screen for stocks that meet the first two criteria, sorting them by percentage change to identify potential candidates:

By revising the criteria and sorting by percentage change, we can now focus on the stocks that show potential for significant movement based on their involvement in Lidar and AI themes. This approach will help in identifying stocks that could potentially mirror AEye's reaction to the Nvidia deal, either due to positive growth prospects or speculative activities.
