- HealthEquity, Inc. (NASDAQ:HQY) soared 11% to a new all-time high Tuesday, closing up $6.64 at $64.54 on extremely heavy volume of 2.8 million shares traded -- more than four times its average volume.

- Nektar Therapeutics (NASDAQ:NKTR) rose $2.19 to close at $107.20 on 3.4 million shares traded Tuesday. Early this month the stock popped on earnings, and has since formed a beautiful bull wedge.
