Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. surged 70 percent to $44.77. The Pasadena-based engineering firm and other construction-related stocks benefited from speculation that President-elect Barack Obama will push for more spending on infrastructure as part of an economic stimulus package.

Conversely, Hanmi Financial Corp. fell 24 percent to $2.35. The Los Angeles bank holding company said it applied for $105 million from the government’s financial bailout program, and noted a recent sharp decline in its share price could be traced to a large investor having to cover a margin call.
