Several notable companies, including Under Armour, Zillow, and Expedia, are experiencing significant premarket movements.
Check out the companies making headlines before the bell:
Under Armour reported an adjusted quarterly profit of 14 cents per share, exceeding expectations by 100%, due to higher revenue.

Expedia reported an adjusted earnings per share of $1.06 for its latest quarter, surpassing the 69-cent consensus estimate, despite revenue falling short of analyst predictions. Despite the Covid-related impact on travel bookings, Expedia stated that the severity and duration of the impact were less than in previous Covid waves. Expedia's stock price increased by 4.6% in premarket trading.
Aurora Cannabis reported better-than-expected cannabis sales during its latest quarter, marking the first time it has been able to surpass analyst estimates in over a year.

Zendesk rejected a takeover bid of $127 to $132 per share from private equity firms, and will proceed with its acquisition of SurveyMonkey parent Momentive Global, despite pressure from activist investor Jana Partners to abandon the deal.

The financial technology company, known for its buy-now-pay-later plans, experienced a 10.4% decline in the premarket after falling 21.4% in Thursday trading. The decline was due to the company's accidental release of its quarterly report and projections of higher transaction volume but lower-than-expected revenue.
The stock of the theme park operator, Cedar Fair, increased by 2.8% in premarket trading after a Bloomberg report stated that private equity firm Centerbridge Partners had acquired a 5% stake. Additionally, Cedar Fair is currently evaluating a $3.4 billion takeover offer from SeaWorld Entertainment.
