The S&P 500 ROSE 1.9% in August 2025, but three stocks outpaced the index with gains exceeding 20%. Albemarle, a leading lithium miner, surged 25.2% as lithium carbonate prices hit a one-year high after CATL suspended operations at a key mine. The rally proved short-lived—Albemarle shares have since dropped 14% this month as lithium prices normalized.
UnitedHealth Group staged a dramatic 24.2% rebound after a 50% decline through July. Warren Buffett's $1.6 billion stake and a reaffirmed 2025 outlook fueled the recovery. The health insurer now projects 12% revenue growth and net earnings of at least $14.65 per share.
