Keysight Technologies [KEYS] - Last Close: $146.52 Keysight Tech is leading after a strong earnings report. The IT firm posted a double-line beat on its fiscal Q2 earnings report late Tuesday. Keysight generated earnings of $2.12 per share on revenues of $1.39 billion. Analysts expected EPS of $1.95 on $1.38 billion in revenues. Revenues & earnings were both up on a year-over-year basis as well, and Keysights' Q3 earnins guidance topped expectations. KEYS is leading the S&P 500 in the premarket with a 7.9% gain. My Take: KEYS had a big sell off in late February, and it's been struggling ever since. However, it's shown signs of bottoming out this month, and today's spike could help it pivot towards a positive trend line. National Western Life Group [NWLI] - Last Close: $267.29 A recent announcement is boosting shares of Natl. Western Life. After Tuesday's close, the life insurance firm announced it's exploring strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. National Western Life has retained Goldman Sachs advisors to assist with the review process, and it has established an ad hoc committee to oversee. No decisions have been made regarding a particular outcome or goal, and the company said, "there can be no assurance about the timing or outcome..." NWLI is one of today's top premarket movers with a 23.1% gain. My Take: Don't let the high share price fool you, this is a micro-cap stock with a market cap of less than $1 billion. Shares have been trending higher since the start of May, and today's announcement could extend the run. Smart for Life [SMFL] - Last Close: $2.32 Smart for Life is surging after a regulatory filing. After Tuesday's close, the nutrition firm announced certain selling shareholders would be offering 4.3 million shares of common stock. Most of the offerings' shares will come from the exercise of series A & B warrants issued to investors in the company's initial public offering. Smart for Life specified in the disclosure that it will not receive any proceeds from the sales, but it may receive funds from the excise of warrants. The news lifted SMFL to the top of today's premarket. Shares are up 33.1% on elevated trading volume. My Take: Honestly, I am not sure what's going on with SMFL. It seems like a big pop for such a minor announcement. I would be wary of a pullback here. WeTrade Group [WETG] - Last Close: $0.038 A recent regulatory filing catapulted WeTrade Group to the top of the premarket. The tiny software firm filed a Form 8-K after Tuesday's close notifying investors of the termination of several securities purchase agreements. WeTrade expected to generate gross proceeds of $16.5 million from the share purchase agreements, which we initially disclosed on April 7th, 2023. However, the company said yesterday that it received termination notices from the purchasers on May 11th. The investors claimed that WeTrade hadn't satisfied certain closing conditions that were laid out in the initial agreement. WETG is leading the premarket with a 57.3% gain on the news. My Take: WETG's market cap is only $7.41 million, so this deal would've severely diluted shareholder value. It's no wonder investors are cheering the deal's demise, but it could cause liquidity issues for the company down the road.
