Questions people ask
What are premarket movers?
Stocks with the biggest percentage change in premarket trading, the session from 4:00 to 9:30 AM ET, measured against the previous day's 4:00 PM close.
What time does premarket trading start?
Premarket trading on Nasdaq and NYSE Arca runs from 4:00 AM to 9:30 AM ET on trading days. Many brokers only let customers trade from 7:00 or 8:00 AM ET.
Why do stocks move before the market opens?
Usually because of news released outside market hours: quarterly earnings, guidance, analyst rating changes, mergers or SEC filings.
Do premarket moves hold after the open?
Not always. Premarket volume is thin and spreads are wider, so a premarket price can change a lot once regular trading starts at 9:30 AM ET.
How does EDGR choose these stocks?
EDGR checks about 3,000 US-listed common stocks: those priced at $2 or more, with a market value of at least $300 million and at least 200,000 shares traded a day on average. ETFs, funds and penny stocks are left out, so a thinly traded stock can't top the list on a few trades.
