DENVER, Colo., Sep 18, 2025 (247marketnews.com)- A number of names are breaking out on patent wins, strategic clarity, or momentum in product launches.

Laser Photonics (NASDAQ:LASE) & Fonon Technologies are gaining attention after confirming a live drone neutralization with their Laser Shield Anti‑Drone (LSAD) system. The pair are preparing for extended range tests and will be featured at the upcoming Defense TechConnect Innovation Summit, where LSAD is a finalist in the Critical Technology Challenge. With counter‑drone tech now a national security priority, LASE may see upside from upcoming government contracts or policy support. Keep an eye on after‑hours press releases or contract announcements.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories (OTCQB:KBLB) is emerging as a compelling ESG/innovation story in apparel and materials. Its proprietary spider silk, which is biodegradable and petroleum‑free, is reportedly in the process of being delivered in first commercial sample form to three prospective partners. With synthetic textiles increasingly under scrutiny for microplastic pollution (estimated over 35% of ocean microplastics), KBLB could be a disruptive alternative. Watch for sample orders or partner updates after hours.

Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE:PUS) is narrowing in on its AI infrastructure play. The company recently sold a minority equity interest for $4.65 million, aligned with its strategy to focus on its 617,000‑sq‑ft Michigan data center. It has plans to scale power availability dramatically—from ~30 MW to ~340 MW—to support AI and high performance computing (HPC) applications. The stock could see volatility into close on any updates to timing, utility agreements, or capital raises.

Adaptimmune Therapeutics (NASDAQ:ADAP) is in a rebuilding phase. Their Q4/2024 update highlighted growing momentum behind their Tecelra sarcoma franchise, with product revenue starting and a network of treatment centers expanding to about 20 Authorized Treatment Centers (ATCs) so far, aiming for ~30 by end of 2025. The biotech is targeting profitability in 2027 as they scale commercialization in their oncology programs. Any progress on approvals, reimbursement, or partner announcements could drive after‑hours moves.

Other Stocks to Watch

  • Beam Global (NASDAQ:BEEM) — With its recent patent approval for Smart Phase Change Composite material, BEEM’s thermal management tech for lithium‑ion batteries is now seen as more robust for extreme environments. Productization or partner news could be catalysts.
  • American Battery Metals (NASDAQ:ABAT) — Clean energy, supply chain, and battery metal themes are getting re‑rated; any offtake or mining/resource data could drive gains.
  • Butterfly Network (NYSE:BFLY) — Continued pressure in diagnostics/medical imaging, but potential catalysts include regulatory approvals or reimbursement news.
