Harmony Gold reported its best fiscal year with a nearly 90% profit increase, but its CEO expects significant payoff only after 2030. The company's performance is attributed to factors beyond gold price increases. Seven stocks, including Box, Fortinet, and Airbnb, hit new 52-week highs this week. Opendoor Technologies marked a new 52-week low at $3.29, with its market cap significantly reduced from last year.
