LegalZoom Drops Ahead of Shareholder Meeting as AI Fight Hangs Over Stock

LegalZoom.com traded lower in premarket Wednesday, with the stock near $6.53 as investors prepared for the company’s annual meeting. Shares have had trouble translating stronger sales into better numbers on the bottom line. The latest price was off 14.5 cents from Tuesday’s close, giving LegalZoom a market cap near $1.16 billion. The timing sets the scene. U.S. markets are open as usual, and Nasdaq’s 2026 holiday list shows the next full day off is Juneteenth, June 19. LegalZoom’s shareholder meeting is scheduled for later in the day, not on a weekend or holiday.

Mister Car Wash Shares Delisted From Nasdaq After $3.1 Billion Takeover

Mister Car Wash Inc. has stopped trading on Nasdaq after Leonard Green & Partners closed its $3.1 billion deal to take the chain private. The company said LGP picked up the shares it didn’t already own for $7.00 a share in cash. Mister Car Wash shares stopped trading ahead of the delisting. It’s an issue because this Monday isn’t a usual session. U.S. markets are shut for Memorial Day. Nasdaq says May 25 is a market holiday in its 2026 schedule, so when markets reopen on Tuesday, there won’t be any MCW pricing to trade against or cover.

Comcast shares flat near lows with Tuesday’s reopen ahead

Comcast Corp shares are trading close to a 52-week low ahead of Tuesday’s open after the U.S. markets were closed for Memorial Day. Investors saw a small gain last Friday but remain cautious on the cable broadband recovery. Nasdaq’s 2026 holiday schedule keeps May 25 shut for Memorial Day. Google Finance lists Comcast’s 52-week low at $24.12. Comcast’s timing stands out as it’s not trading with the tape. The S&P 500 finished Friday logging an eighth week of gains, the Dow set a record close, and the Nasdaq composite added 0.2%, according to an Associated Press market wrap.

Paysign Shares Surge Nearly 20% This Holiday Week as Pharma Payments Get Attention

Paysign Inc. is up for a fifth straight session heading into the Memorial Day holiday, after shares bounced back from a rough earnings move earlier in the month. U.S. markets are closed Monday for Memorial Day, and Nasdaq notes May 25 as a non-trading day. Paysign finished Friday at $6.72, rising 6.0% on the session. Shares are up roughly 19.6% from the May 15 close of $5.62, according to market data. This bounce comes after a 12.3% slide on May 13, right after Paysign posted first-quarter numbers. The stock then saw steady buying ahead of the holiday.

KE, which trades on Nasdaq, last changed hands on Friday as U.S. markets will not open Monday for Memorial Day. This is relevant now since the week is shortened by the holiday, not just a normal intraday trade. Nasdaq confirms markets are closed for Memorial Day, May 25. The NYSE sticks to its standard 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern session when markets are open.

HKIT doesn't have much margin for error. The stock finished May 22 at $0.6700, ticking up 0.72%, but it dropped to $0.6601 after hours. Webull put the Friday range between $0.6460 and $0.7300 on volume of 89,360 shares, with the market cap around $6.47 million. That puts HKIT in micro-cap territory.

Ribbon’s stock muted ahead of holiday; eyes on DRC medicine deal instead

Ribbon Acquisition Corp.’s Class A shares on Nasdaq closed flat heading into the long U.S. weekend, as traders looked ahead to see how much cash and backing the SPAC will keep for its planned merger with Japan’s DRC Medicine. Ribbon is set up as a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, meant to merge with a private firm and take it public. There won’t be any regular U.S. stock trading Monday, with Nasdaq showing Memorial Day—May 25, 2026—as a market holiday. That means the next time investors can trade Ribbon’s securities is Tuesday.

Alphabet Faces Test for Its $4.6 Trillion AI Rally Over Holiday Week

Alphabet Inc. shares fell Friday heading into the Memorial Day break, putting the stock on the back foot.

Alphabet's Class A shares slipped 1.21% to $382.97 at Friday's close. Class C shares finished at $379.38, down 1.07%. The Class A shares gave up around 3.5% for the week, after hitting an intraday high of $408.61 on May 18.

Wetour Robotics Stock Surges 91% Before Reverse Split, With AI Launch Next

Wetour Robotics Limited’s Nasdaq-listed shares ended a volatile week at $1.07, up 15.1% on Friday and 91% from the previous Friday, as traders looked ahead to a reverse split and a product launch for its AI wearable interface platform. Volume also picked up sharply, with 496,048 shares changing hands on Friday versus 38,269 on May 15. This matters now because the stock has only four regular U.S. trading days next week to digest two company events. Nasdaq is closed on Saturday and Sunday and will also be closed on Monday, May 25, for Memorial Day, according to the exchange’s 2026 holiday schedule.

The move came as most stocks rose, and left traders questioning the company’s buyback and the stock’s run after earnings. Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange are closed Monday for Memorial Day. That means investors won’t be able to trade the stock until Tuesday. It comes after a week where the stock bounced between gains and losses and ended up about where it started.

Vodafone dips as investors look at annual report and turnaround talk

Vodafone was lower on Friday in London, lagging the FTSE 100 as the index gained. The telecom filed its 2026 annual report, Form 20-F, and posted the notice for its July shareholder meeting. London markets are in a light patch for trading. The London Stock Exchange is closed Monday, May 25, for the spring bank holiday, with activity set to pick up again on Tuesday when markets will have a full day to respond to the filing and Vodafone’s changes.

BLIN Stock Climbs Before Holiday Break as Bridgeline’s AI Sales Push Faces Revenue Test

Bridgeline Digital Inc. shares closed regular Nasdaq trading higher on Friday, finishing at $0.94, up 2.24%, after swinging between $0.87 and $0.95. Volume was light at about 26,200 shares, and the company’s market value stood near $11.8 million. That makes BLIN a microcap, meaning a company with a very small public market value, and one where modest order flow can move the stock. The timing also matters: Nasdaq lists Monday, May 25, as a full market closure for Memorial Day, leaving investors with a long weekend to digest the company’s latest numbers.

PLBY Gains 2% as Turnaround Draws Insider Sale Questions

Playboy, Inc. shares picked up 2.3% to close at $1.32 on Nasdaq Friday, clawing back some ground after an SEC filing showed a company director sold shares earlier in the week. The stock moved between $1.31 and $1.37 during the session. About 760,000 shares changed hands, below the average volume of 1.03 million. PLBY is still trading as a small-cap turnaround story, not as a mainstream consumer stock. The latest Google Finance read puts its market cap around $152.5 million, with shares moving in a 52-week range between $1.18 and $2.75. That keeps the stock near the bottom of its yearly range.

AvePoint Stock Climbs Before the Bell as Wall Street Tests Its AI Governance Bet

AvePoint Inc. shares rose in thin U.S. premarket trading on Friday, giving the cloud data-management software maker a small lift after a lower close and a week of fresh scrutiny over its growth story. The Nasdaq-listed stock was quoted at $10.49 before the bell, up 2.44% from Thursday’s $10.24 close. The move matters now because AvePoint sits in a crowded corner of software where investors are rewarding companies that can tie artificial-intelligence spending to recurring revenue, not just slogans. U.S. stock index futures were also firmer before the open, with S&P 500 e-mini and Nasdaq 100 futures each up 0.4% in a Reuters market note carried by MarketScreener.

Viant Technology Inc. shares edged lower before the U.S. open on Friday, giving back a sliver of Thursday’s gain as investors weighed a new connected-TV news product against a still-small stock float and fresh insider-sale filings. Market data showed DSP at $10.96 at 7:12 a.m. EDT, down 0.36% from its $11.00 close on Thursday.

Hesai Stock Jumps on 1 Million-Unit Lidar Deal, but There’s a Catch

Hesai Group shares looked set for some swings Friday. The Chinese lidar company’s stock in Hong Kong jumped to HK$166.90 on news of a new order from a European automaker, but premarket action in the U.S. pointed down. Hesai’s American depositary shares were seen at $20.35 ahead of the open, down 2.6% from Thursday’s $20.90 close. Scale is the key factor now. Hesai said its latest design win is for more than 1 million units across over 10 models for China joint ventures with a major European automaker. The company did not name the automaker. Lidar, which uses lasers to map out a 3D view around the car, is a core piece of ADAS—helping vehicles steer, brake, and avoid obstacles.

Portillo’s Stock Near 52-Week Low as CFO Shake-Up Puts Turnaround Plan in Focus

Portillo’s Inc. shares sat near the bottom of their 52-week range before Friday’s opening bell, as the Chicago-style restaurant chain moved to steady its finance office during a broader rethink of growth. Stock data showed PTLO at $4.10, with a market value of about $311 million and a 52-week range of $3.81 to $12.44. The timing matters. U.S. equity markets are heading into a regular Friday session before Nasdaq closes on Monday, May 25, for Memorial Day, leaving investors with one more trading day to price in Portillo’s latest filing.

Perion stock falls after Q1 miss, AI ad spend soars

Perion Network Ltd. shares slipped further Thursday, last seen down 1.9% at $8.84, extending losses after earnings. Investors set aside AI product growth and stayed focused on the company’s revenue miss and soft profit. The Nasdaq stock tumbled 16% to $9.01 Wednesday after reporting a bigger first-quarter loss and revenue below forecasts, MarketWatch said. Pressure on PERI is key for Perion, as the company is pushing Perion One, its newer ad platform, and Outmax, its AI campaign tool, to make up for weakness in its older web and search units. Customers are starting to spend more through those new lines, but first-quarter results didn’t give investors clear proof that this growth is boosting profits yet.
