Shares of artificial intelligence company BigBear.ai Holdings soared Monday, closing at a record three-month high.

BigBear stock finished the day up 16% at $6.79 to close at its highest level since Feb. 21. At its intraday high, shares had climbed 24%, to $7.23. The stock has gained 41% over the past three days, its best such stretch since February.

The stock has climbed 52.6% since the start of this year. Shares are also up nearly five fold from a year ago.

Despite recent gains, the stock continues to trade at roughly half the price it reached at its highest point ever in April 2022, where shares traded at $12.69. While the stock has risen over the past year, it’s still down about 30% from its 2025 high of $9.78 hit on Feb. 13.

BigBear.ai started off its fiscal year pretty strong. The company reported earnings per share of 25 cents and $34 million revenue, a 5% increase from a year ago, according to their first quarter earnings report released May 1. It also affirmed its full year outlook.

This June, BigBear.ai announced recent developments including a partnership with technology firms Vigilix Technology Investment and Easy Lease to integrate more AI-centered research and development across key industries in the United Arab Emirates. The company also deployed biometric software at multiple international airports and seaports for passenger security and processing.

BigBear’s move is part of a broader rally in AI stocks. Nvidia scored a five-day winning streak last week, closing at a record high Wednesday and surpassing Microsoft’s total market capitalization. Shares were about flat Monday as was Qualcomm. While Broadcom climbed 2.52%, Advanced Micro Devices dipped 1.3%.

It seems like the AI revolution isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
