Top Gainers
Zeta Network Group (ZNB)
Zeta Network Group (ZNB), operating in the Consumer Services sector, surged 104.82% today — the top gainer among penny stocks. Shares reached an intraday high of $5.22 before closing at $3.40. Today's sharp rise follows a strategic partnership announcement with SOLV Foundation on October 7, 2025, to optimize BitcoinBTC-- holdings and develop DeFi models, with reports indicating the pivot triggered a significant 250% intraday spike last week.
Envoy Medical, Inc. (COCH)
Envoy Medical surged 97.03% today, ranking as the second-largest gainer in penny stocks, following an intraday high of $1.89 and closing at $1.59. Operating in Healthcare Equipment & Supplies, the company's jump aligns with a pivotal October 7 announcement that the FDA granted approval to advance its Acclaim® fully implanted cochlear implant to the final trial stage, with analysts noting significant market potential for the technology.
Nuburu, Inc. (BURU)
Nuburu, Inc. (BURU), operating in the Electronic Equipment, Instruments & Components sector, surged 86.28% today to rank as the third-biggest gainer among penny stocks. Shares reached an intraday high of $0.50 before closing at $0.46. Catalyzing this move, the company announced on October 7 a binding agreement for its defense subsidiary to acquire Italian software firm Orbit S.r.l., aiming to expand its defense-grade SaaS offerings targeting a $3.6B market. This strategic pivot integrates operational resilience software with Nuburu's laser systems, projecting significant revenue growth through 2028.
C3is Inc. (CISS)
C3is Inc. (CISS), a maritime transportation firm, surged 84.16% today, ranking as the 4th highest gainer among penny stocks. The stock reached an intraday high of $5.93 before closing at $4.07. Recent reports show C3is strategically expanded its fleet capacity by over 230% since inception and settled the final payment for the Eco Spitfire vessel without bank loans on Oct. 7, bolstering its financial position significantly.
Rail Vision Ltd. (RVSN)
Rail Vision Ltd. (RVSN), operating in the Electronic Equipment, Instruments and Components industry, surged 57.12% today to rank fifth among penny stocks, reaching an intraday high of $0.99 and closing at $0.81. Reports indicate a significant Latin American mining order secured on June 3, alongside a September 30 term sheet for acquiring a 51% stake in a quantum computing AI firm, potentially fueling investor optimism.
Top Decliners
Connexa Sports Technologies Inc. (YYAI)
Connexa Sports Technologies Inc. (YYAI), operating in Leisure Equipment & Products, suffered the day's worst decline in the penny stock market, plummeting 92.83% to close at $0.18 after hitting an intraday low of $0.18. Reports indicate the company announced its rebranding to "AiRWA Inc." on October 6, 2025, alongside key developments involving its expansion into the Web3 space effective October 7. Material SEC disclosures regarding bylaw changes filed around the same time also contributed to investor reaction.
Epwk Holdings Ltd. (EPWK)
The software company's shares collapsed 67.16%—ranking among today's top two penny stock declines—hitting an intraday low of $0.11 before settling at $0.11. Recent filings flagged a planned $8 million public offering, with reports confirming October 7 pricing at a deep discount that heightened dilution fears. The move follows weeks of investor unease over fundraising tactics amid thin liquidity.
Humacyte, Inc. (HUMA)
Humacyte stock plummeted 33.67% today, ranking as the third-worst performer in the penny stock market, with an intraday low of $1.61 and a close at $1.65. The biotechnology firm's decline follows its October 7 pricing of a $60 million direct offering below the prior session's close, sparking dilution fears. Reports indicate the discounted share sale compounded investor concerns after the October 6 announcement of the equity raise.
Smartkem, Inc. (SMTK)
Smartkem (SMTK), a Semiconductor Products and Equipment firm, plunged 31.41% today, ranking as the 4th worst penny stock performer. Shares touched an intraday low of $1.80 before closing at $1.90. The significant drop follows news that the company announced signing a non-binding LOI for a transformative merger with Jericho Energy Ventures and concurrently priced a $7.65 million mixed securities offering.
SHF Holdings, Inc. (SHFS)
SHF Holdings stock plummeted 31.16% today, ranking it the 5th worst decliner among penny stocks, closing at $4.75 after touching an intraday low of $4.66. The Financial Services company faced significant selling pressure following regulatory challenges disclosed in SEC filings. Reports indicate the SEC revoked its registration as a Municipal Advisor, a significant regulatory blow. Concurrently, an October 3rd 8-K filing revealed a Nasdaq listing deficiency and poor Q2 financials showing sharply dwindling cash and substantial liabilities, amplifying investor concerns.
