Sometimes the market hands you exactly what you want to hear. That's what happened to shareholders of Keysight Technologies Inc. (KEYS) early Tuesday, as the electronic measurement company's shares jumped 14.8% to $204.00 in pre-market trading following a solid earnings beat.
The company released its fourth-quarter results after Monday's closing bell, and the numbers looked pretty good. Keysight reported earnings of $1.91 per share against analyst expectations of $1.83, while revenue came in at $1.42 billion compared to the $1.38 billion consensus. Not a blowout by any means, but in a market that's been jittery about tech spending, a clean beat on both the top and bottom lines was enough to send the stock soaring.
But Keysight wasn't the only stock making moves before the opening bell. Here's a look at the other companies catching traders' attention in pre-market action.
The Gainers
Icon Energy Corp (ICON) surged 33.4% to $1.22 in pre-market trading, extending Monday's 14% gain. The momentum appears to be building for the energy company, though no specific news catalyst was immediately apparent.
WeShop Holdings Limited (WSHP) jumped 23.1% to $160.00 after already gaining 15% the previous session. That's the kind of two-day run that gets day traders very excited.
Inno Holdings Inc (INHD) climbed 23% to $0.59. The company recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Megabyte Solutions to jointly develop Web3 technology applications, which apparently resonated with investors betting on blockchain-adjacent plays.
Inspire Veterinary Partners Inc (IVP) rose 21.8% to $0.20, continuing its strong run after surging over 33% on Monday. The veterinary services company has clearly caught someone's attention.
China Pharma Holdings Inc (CPHI) gained 21.1% to $1.90 in pre-market action, though no specific catalyst was announced.
Antelope Enterprise Holdings Ltd (AEHL) rose 17.5% to $2.98 after absolutely exploding 109% on Monday. When you more than double in a day and then add another 17% the next morning, something interesting is definitely happening.
Symbotic Inc (SYM) climbed 13.6% to $63.00 after reporting fourth-quarter results that exceeded expectations. The robotics and automation company also issued first-quarter sales guidance with a midpoint above analyst estimates, giving investors confidence in the business trajectory.
Jiayin Group Inc – ADR (JFIN) gained 10.8% to $8.00 following the release of its third-quarter 2025 unaudited financial results.
Fluence Energy Inc (FLNC) picked up 10.3% to $17.42 after delivering solid fourth-quarter numbers and providing fiscal 2026 sales guidance that came in above Wall Street's expectations. Energy storage companies have been in focus as utilities and power providers prepare for increased electricity demand.
The Losers
Not every stock got the memo about Tuesday being a good day. Several names that rallied Monday gave back some of those gains in pre-market trading.
MingZhu Logistics Holdings Ltd (YGMZ) tumbled 15.8% to $0.89 after gaining just 3% the previous session. The reversal suggests whatever optimism built up on Monday evaporated quickly.
Prestige Wealth Inc (AURE) declined 11.2% to $0.48, reversing Monday's 15% gain. That's the frustrating reality of volatile small-cap stocks—what goes up one day can easily come down the next.
Pasithea Therapeutics Corp (KTTA) fell 11.1% to $0.38 after jumping 45% on Monday. The company had announced pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data from Cohort 7 in its ongoing first-in-human trial evaluating PAS-004 in patients with MAPK pathway-driven advanced solid tumors with a documented RAS, NF1 or RAF mutation, or in patients who have failed prior BRAF/MEK inhibition. Apparently, the market's initial enthusiasm cooled overnight.
Jaguar Health Inc (JAGX) fell 11.7% to $1.12 after gaining 5% Monday, while Capstone Holding Corp (CAPS) dipped 10.2% to $0.73 following Monday's 8% gain.
Visionary Holdings Inc (GV) shares dipped 10.1% to $1.16 in pre-market trading, and Foxx Development Holdings Inc (FOXX) fell 9.1% to $4.19 after surging 30% the previous session.
Semtech Corp (SMTC) dropped 7.2% to $65.00 as the semiconductor company reported mixed financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2026. When results are mixed rather than clearly positive, the market tends to focus on the negative parts.
Arcus Biosciences Inc (RCUS) fell 6.7% to $21.63 after Monday's 5% gain, while Nanobiotix SA – ADR (NBTX) declined 6.2% to $20.64. The biotech company issued its third-quarter 2025 operational and financial update along with its 2026 clinical outlook, which apparently didn't inspire much confidence among early traders.
Pre-market trading is always a bit of a wild west—lower volume means prices can swing more dramatically on less news. But it gives us a preview of which stocks are capturing attention and where the early money is flowing. And on this particular Tuesday morning, Keysight was clearly the star of the show.
