Some of the largest premarket stock movers include Walmart, AutoNation, and Cisco.
Check out the companies making headlines before the bell:
After reporting better-than-expected quarterly results, Walmart's stock increased by 2.9% in the premarket. The retail giant earned an adjusted $1.53 per share, 3 cents above estimates, and issued an optimistic forecast. Additionally, Walmart announced a dividend increase.
In the fourth quarter, the auto retailer reported an adjusted earnings per share of $5.76, surpassing the consensus estimate of $4.96. Additionally, revenue exceeded expectations due to a 55% increase in used vehicle sales. As a result, AutoNation shares rose 3% in premarket trading.
DoorDash experienced a 24.1% increase in premarket trading after reporting an optimistic outlook for the current quarter, despite seeing a 69% increase in revenue for 2021 as restaurants reopened for dine-in service.
Cisco surpassed expectations by 3 cents with an adjusted quarterly earnings of 84 cents per share. Additionally, the company reported better-than-anticipated revenue and provided an optimistic full-year outlook, citing strong demand from cloud computing companies. Cisco's stock price increased by 3.5% in the premarket.
Nvidia reported adjusted quarterly earnings of $1.32 per share, 10 cents above estimates. The graphics chip maker also reported better-than-expected revenue for the quarter and gave an upbeat outlook. However, the stock came under pressure on concerns about flat profit margins and its exposure to the cryptocurrency market. Despite this, Nvidia was down only 2.5% in premarket action.
Palantir's adjusted profit of 2 cents per share was half of what analysts predicted, although revenue exceeded forecasts.
Tripadvisor's unexpected quarterly loss and revenue that fell short of analyst forecasts caused it to tumble in the premarket. The travel review site operator expects significant improvement in the travel market this year after what it called "unexpected periods of virus resurgence" in 2021. Shares tumbled 7.9% in premarket trading.
Fastly's shares plummeted 31.9% in the premarket after the company gave lower-than-expected 2022 guidance. Despite reporting a narrower-than-expected fourth-quarter loss and revenue that came in above consensus estimates, Fastly's shares still suffered a significant decline.
After Alta Fox Capital Management nominated five directors to its board, Hasbro's stock price increased by 4% in premarket trading. Alta Fox is pushing for Hasbro to separate its fast-growing games division.
Despite earnings falling short of expectations, Cheesecake Factory's restaurant operator's shares rose 4% in the premarket. A revenue increase was offset by higher input costs, but the company plans to raise prices in its new menus and may do so again later this year.
