At Extreme Investor Network, we pride ourselves on delivering unique and valuable content to our readers in the realm of finance. Today, we want to highlight some of the top companies making headlines before the bell:
1. Nio: This Chinese electric vehicle maker is set to receive a cash injection of 13.3 billion yuan for its Nio China, with strategic investors providing 3.3 billion yuan of that injection. This news has caused U.S.-listed shares to surge over 13%. The transactions are expected to be completed by the end of the year and will reduce Nio Inc.’s stake in Nio China to 88.3%.
2. Stellantis: Shares of this automaker plunged more than 13% after trimming its full-year outlook, citing a deteriorating global industry backdrop. This news has also impacted Ford and GM.
3. Alibaba: The China e-commerce giant’s stock rose around 4% after China’s central bank announced it would instruct banks to cut mortgage rates on existing home loans by the end of next month. This initiative has sparked a broader rally among China stocks, with their best trading day since 2008.
4. Rocket Lab: Shares of this aerospace and defense company rose more than 3%, following a price target increase from KeyBanc Capital Markets. The increase in target price was due to increased visibility and confidence in Rocket Lab’s ability to scale its business.
5. CVS Health: The pharmacy stock saw a nearly 3% increase following reports that hedge fund Glenview Capital, a major shareholder, is expected to meet with CVS leadership to propose fixes for the struggling business. This move could potentially lead to an activist push.
6. Crypto stocks: Stocks tied to the price of bitcoin retreated alongside the cryptocurrency, as investors grappled with uncertainty around the expected U.S. East and Gulf Coast port strike. As a result, Coinbase fell 3% in premarket trading, while MicroStrategy dropped 5%. Bitcoin itself was down 3% and trading under $64,000.
