Ultragenyx (RARE) Moves Before Friday’s Bell

Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. was up in premarket trade Friday after Cantor Fitzgerald raised its price target on the company and flagged its late-stage Angelman syndrome program. Shares finished Thursday at $23.71, gaining 1.45%, and were at $24.06 at 7:50 a.m. Eastern in the extended session. Cantor lifted its price target on Ultragenyx to $96 from $84 and stayed at Overweight, the bank’s way of saying it sees the stock topping the peer group. The firm also raised its success odds for GTX-102, Ultragenyx’s Angelman syndrome therapy candidate, bumping the probability to 60% from 25%.

Tandy Leather Stock Slips Before the Bell — Here’s the Small-Cap Detail Investors May Miss

Tandy Leather Factory Inc. shares slipped in early premarket dealing on Friday, with the leathercraft retailer quoted at $2.34 after closing Thursday at $2.37. Premarket trading means orders placed before the regular U.S. cash session, when volume can be thin and price moves harder to read. The move matters now because Tandy is a small, lightly traded Nasdaq name heading into the last regular U.S. equity session before the Memorial Day weekend. Nasdaq’s holiday calendar shows U.S. equity markets closed on Monday, May 25.

Why Daily Journal Stock Is Sliding Even After a 25% Revenue Jump

Daily Journal Corp. shares slipped in Thursday afternoon Nasdaq trading, extending a two-day pullback as investors weighed stronger software revenue against a quarterly loss tied to swings in the company’s investment portfolio. The stock was recently at $462.36, down about 0.4% from Wednesday’s close, after trading between $450.00 and $468.82. Volume was about 38,900 shares, with the company’s market value near $637 million.

Navient Shares Up as CEO Change Looms

Navient Corp NAVI was up in Thursday’s afternoon session, last changing hands at $8.53 for a gain of around 2.7%. Shares were just below the daily high of $8.54. Trading volume reached about 354,000 shares. Navient made the move without any new statement from the company Thursday. Why now: Navient’s last update on its news page was a May 5 securitization, and its investor site put the latest 8-K and 10-Q at April 29. So traders are left with older news on loan growth, funding, and a CEO switch to guide them while watching today’s pricing.

Corsair Shares Drop Despite Margin Recovery

Corsair Gaming shares fell Thursday morning, lagging the tech sector. The gaming hardware company is set for another investor update but doubts around PC-component demand haven’t faded. Just before 11 a.m. in New York, Corsair was down 1.5% at $6.78. Invesco QQQ Trust traded about 0.5% lower and the iShares Russell 2000 ETF was little changed. Corsair on Wednesday said CFO Gordon Mattingly is set to meet institutional investors at Baird’s 2026 Global Consumer, Technology & Services Conference on June 4, where he’ll talk through recent earnings, business trends, and possible growth.

CSP Inc. trades around ex-dividend date; small Nasdaq cybersecurity name stays in focus

CSP Inc. shares edged higher Thursday after the company went ex-dividend. The tech and cybersecurity group, which is listed on the Nasdaq, reported a quarterly profit earlier this month. The stock was at $9.51 at 10:44 a.m. ET, up 9 cents for the day so far, market data showed. Trading was thin, with only 1,949 shares exchanged. The market cap is close to $92.4 million, so low volumes and small trades can swing the price.

EHGO Shares Approach 52-Week Lows as Eshallgo Pops Up on Nasdaq Radar Again

Eshallgo Inc was down near its 52-week low as Thursday’s premarket session got underway, putting continued pressure on the Nasdaq office tech name. The company only recently went through a reverse split to fix a listing issue. EHGO ended Wednesday down 4.32% at $1.55, after swinging from $1.42 to $1.61 through the day. The stock is near its 52-week low, giving it a market cap of roughly $3.14 million, so even small trades can push the price around.

NMFC Stock Moves Higher Ahead of Open as New Mountain Finance Buyback Faces Private Credit Trial

New Mountain Finance Corp. is coming into Thursday’s Nasdaq open after gaining 2.1%, but the stock is still trading well under its latest book value. Shares finished Wednesday at $8.12. Nasdaq’s regular session is 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern, and premarket starts at 4 a.m. Discount is the main story now. NMFC last reported net asset value at $10.92 per share as of March 31, which puts the shares trading about 26% below NAV. Management has room with the buyback to create value, but investors are still pricing NMFC as a risk trade and not only for its income.

Nayax shares in focus on insider filing, Q1 growth

Nayax Ltd. shares in the U.S. went into Thursday’s premarket as investors looked at new disclosures from insiders and filings tied to the shareholder meeting, while the payments firm’s growth numbers stayed strong. NYAX finished Wednesday at $66.81, off 19 cents, and about 11% under its $75.00 high for the past year. Nasdaq trading hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, with the next U.S. market holiday shown as Memorial Day, May 25, 2026, according to the exchange. This is a standard pre-open schedule, not a holiday session.

Critical Metals Stock Reacts as Tanbreez Deals Stir Up Rare-Earth Work and China Supply Risk

Critical Metals Corp stayed at $10.75 in early U.S. premarket on Thursday. Nasdaq-listed shares had jumped 9.69% in the previous session as investors digested new supply headlines from Tanbreez and a late filing that clarified disclosures on the company’s rare earth play in Greenland. Nasdaq regular hours were yet to start at the time. The Tanbreez move lands squarely in heavy rare earth elements, or HREEs, one of the market’s key hot spots right now. These less common rare earths show up in high-performance magnets, advanced electronics and defence gear. Western buyers are still facing risk from China’s export controls, with Reuters saying this week that Beijing’s rare earth export rules are still in force, even as U.S.-China talks continue.

Energous Shares Surge 11% as Wireless Power Name Hits Another Hurdle

Energous Corp stock heads into Thursday holding most of Wednesday’s sharp jump. Traders are watching the small wireless-power player after its Q1 report posted faster revenue but showed the company still leans on just a few customers. Why it matters now: WATT is starting to face different questions from investors. The focus has shifted from whether Energous can build up a big patent portfolio to whether it can use those patents to go beyond trial deployments and generate reliable commercial revenue.

AREC Stock Jumps as American Resources’ Rare-Earth Pivot Gets a 10-K Test

American Resources Corp shares last traded unchanged at $2.14 in Thursday premarket dealings, the early session before the 9:30 a.m. New York open, after closing up 10.3% on Wednesday as investors weighed a delayed annual report and a cleaner rare-earth strategy. U.S. regular trading had not opened; Nasdaq’s 2026 calendar lists Memorial Day, May 25, as the next scheduled market closure. The filing matters now because it removes part of a compliance overhang. Nasdaq told American Resources on April 24 that it was not in compliance with Listing Rule 5250 because it had not filed its 2025 Form 10-K, an annual report with audited accounts and risk disclosures; the notice had no immediate effect on the stock’s listing or trading.

First Advantage Stock Pops Again — But Investors Are Still Testing the Earnings Story

First Advantage Corp shares head into Thursday’s pre-market session with fresh momentum after gaining 2.55% to $15.28 on Wednesday, as investors kept working through the background-screening company’s stronger first-quarter results and a more mixed outside view on valuation. The move matters now because the stock has been climbing with the broader market but is still being judged against a big question: whether First Advantage can turn post-Sterling scale, cost savings and digital-identity demand into steadier profit growth. Nasdaq lists regular trading from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern time, with pre-market trade starting at 4 a.m.; the next U.S. market holiday is Memorial Day on May 25.

NAII Stock Gains Despite Wider Loss, Cash Still the Focus

Natural Alternatives International Inc. stock gained Wednesday, though the nutritional supplements maker posted a larger fiscal third-quarter loss. Investors looked past the loss, focusing on higher sales, slimmer margins, and news of new refinancing. NAII shares last changed hands at $2.59, about 1.8% higher, with 10,040 shares traded. The company has a market cap close to $15.6 million. NAII is still in micro-cap territory, which means it carries a small market value and usually sees thin trading.

NEUP Stock Moves Higher as Traders Focus on Neuphoria’s Cash Runway

Neuphoria Therapeutics Inc. shares traded higher in midday action Wednesday. The move came as biotech stocks attracted buyers, although Neuphoria’s newest filing pointed to a focus on conserving cash and weighing options over any immediate drug revenue. The stock, which trades on Nasdaq, last changed hands at $5.00, up 23 cents. Shares opened at $4.71 and ranged from $4.77 to $5.00. Volume hit 33,745 shares on the latest trade—enough to stand out, though well below large-cap levels.
