MicroAlgo [MLGO] - Last Close: $9.58 The tiny algorithmic solutions stock continues to soar in today’s premarket, after adding 295.8% in Wednesday’s session. MicroAlgo began to rally after it announced plans to launch a postgraduate training center in China to recruit new talent from local universities. The stock has already seen enormous gains in the aftermath of the announcement, but it’s not slowing down today. MLGO is one of this morning’s top stocks, with a 60.1% gain, and more than 3.65 million shares have been traded in the premarket. My Take: Not sure what’s going on here, but it doesn’t seem organic. MLGO had an 8.54% short percentage as of Nov. 15th, which may have played a role in its dramatic rise over the past few days. WiMi Hologram Cloud [WIMI] - Last Close: $0.7190
The Chinese augmented reality firm has been on a hot streak after publishing several notable press releases over the past few days. In its latest release from this morning, the company says it has developed “explainable artificial intelligence (XAI)-based fNIRS neuroimage classification.” The system uses sophisticated AI to process, analyze, and interpret data for accurate measurement & analysis of brain activity. Shares of WIMI are up 30.7% and 6.81 million shares have been traded in today’s premarket. My Take: There’s been a lot of activity in WIMI lately. Plus, we saw a big volume spike on Wednesday, backed by a 15% gain. This stock could be in the early phases of a run up, but the downside risk could be significant. Barnes & Noble Education [BNED] - Last Close: $1.05
A strong quarterly report is giving the educational textbook vendor a boost in today’s premarket. Barnes & Noble Ed. posted fiscal Q2 EPS of $0.46 after Wednesday’s close, topping the Street’s $0.43 estimate. However, sales of $610.4 million narrowly missed analysts’ $616.31 million consensus forecast. The company also maintained its fiscal 2024 guidance of consolidated non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. After the reports release, analysts from Needham reiterated their “buy” rating on the stock and maintained a $4 price target. BNED is up 23.3% with 1.05 million shares traded. My Take: BNED has struggled for some time, but it’s showing signs of life lately. I’m not bullish on this stock’s long-term outlook, but it’s showing decent support at the $1 mark, so there could be some upside potential here. Cyngn [CYN] - Last Close: $0.2439
The autonomous vehicle pioneer is soaring this morning after announcing its 17th U.S. patent for its self-driving tech. Cyngn said it was awarded patent US-11,837,089-B2 for “autonomous vehicle and driving solutions.” CEO Lior Tal said in a press release, “These novel inventions help to set us apart by enabling automation solutions with unique value propositions to our customers.” CYN is this morning’s top mover with a 99.9% gain on over 21.5 million shares traded. My Take: CYN has already pulled back a bit from its premarket peak, so I think this rally may have already topped out. However, there’s a lot of shares trading, so there could be short-term opportunities here. GainersHempacco [HPCO] >> +60.7%Altisource Asset Mgmt.
