Beaten-down casino company MGM Resorts , energy stocks and restaurant chain owner Darden Restaurants are driving the massive rally. With a sharp two-day rebound, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is now up about 22% from its 52-week low of 18,213.65 hit on March 23. The 30-stock average jumped nearly 2,000 points in just two trading sessions this week as investors are soothed by a stabilization the pace of new coronavirus cases in the U.S. The S & P 500 rallied more than 8% this week so far, bouncing 20% from its 52-week low of 2,191.86. The Nasdaq Composite jumped 7.7% week to date, now 19% up from its 52-week low of 6,631.42 also hit on March 23. These are the top 20 performers in the S & P 500 from their 52-week lows, most of which were around that date. The data was taken as of around 10 am ET on Tuesday. Olive Garden-parent Darden Restaurants has rallied more than 125% in two weeks. The restaurant stock got an extra boost Tuesday when it said Olive Garden and LongHorn steakhouse are seeing significant spikes in to-go sales per restaurant as people avoid public spaces and stay at home. Olive Garden's off-premise sales have jumped 141.6%, while LongHorn Steakhouse's have more than tripled, he company said. Darden Restaurants stock rose 13% on Tuesday. Chip stock Nvidia has also outperformed in the past two weeks, gaining more than 100%. Nvidia makes chips for video games which could be benefiting from the stay-at-home trend as consumers increase their screen time. MGM Resorts is the second best-performing stock of the two week rally. The casino company was one of the most beaten down stocks from the coronavirus shutdown. The business is likely rallying on the government stimulus bill and hopes of the economy reopening soon. MGM's stock is up more than 140% since the end of March. IT services and solutions company DXC Technology is also getting a boost with many employees working from home. Energy stocks have also been major outperformers in the last two weeks thanks to the major rise in oil prices. The commodity had its best week on record last week on the hopes that the world's main oil producers, including Saudi Arabia and Russia, are expected to agree to cut output. The move in oil prices have caused Noble Energy to soar 160% and Diamondback Energy to surge more than 140% in two weeks. Devon Energy doubled in value during the same period of time. Natural gas company ONEOK and oil field services company Halliburton is also a distinct winner. While there was major moves in the energy sector, analysts have cautioned about trying to pick a bottom in this troubled sector. —with reporting from CNBC's Nate Rattner.
