VIA fell over 11% today, extending a slide that began last week; the stock has been under pressure since trading around the high‑teens and low‑$20s, well below its $46 IPO price.
LAES fell more than 19% today as the market digested a $125 million registered direct offering of 30.4 million new shares (or pre‑funded warrants) plus warrants for up to 60.8 million additional shares, all priced at $4.11 per unit.
Shares of ALDX are down about 73.02% in premarket trading, plunging from a prior close near 4.13 dollars to roughly 1.11 dollars after a major regulatory setback. The collapse follows fresh confirmation that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has again declined to approve reproxalap for dry eye disease, issuing another Complete Response Letter that questions efficacy.
Shares of MVST are down about 25% in premarket trading today compared with the prior close. The slide follows a sharp reassessment of the company’s outlook as investors react to new information and recent volatility in high‑beta battery and EV names.
Solaris Energy Infrastructure’s stock SEI jumped roughly 13% in today’s session, extending a sharp recent rebound from early-March lows. The move is driven by ongoing post-earnings momentum after strong Q4 and full‑year 2025 results and raised guidance highlighted rapid growth in its power solutions business.
Shares of LMND are trading approximately +10% higher intraday on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, rising from a prior close of $57.74 to around $63.51. Primary catalyst: Morgan Stanley upgraded LMND to an 'Overweight' rating and raised its price target to $85 from $80.
Shares of ICHR surged approximately +15% intraday on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, trading near $48.98 versus a prior closing price of $42.59. The primary catalyst is a high-profile analyst upgrade by Stifel, with analyst Brian Chin upgrading the stock to Buy citing improved cyclical strength and conviction in the company's revenue and margin trajectory.
NBIS shares are down approximately 10.00% in Tuesday's session, falling from a prior close of $129.85 to around $116.87. The primary catalyst is Nebius Group's pre-market announcement of a proposed $3.75 billion convertible senior notes offering, sparking dilution concerns.
TME shares fell over 20% today, with the stock sliding from the mid‑$15s toward the low‑$13s in the wake of its Q4 2025 report and earnings call, extending a pre‑market drop of roughly 12–13%.
HUYA shares fell over 11% today, dropping from the mid‑$3 range toward the low‑$3s following the company’s Q4 2025 earnings release before the U.S. market open. Q4 total net revenues rose about 16% year over year to roughly CNY 1.74 billion, with full‑year 2025 revenues up around 7% to CNY 6.5 billion, but the market had already priced in a rebound after a difficult 2024.​
CWCO fell over 9% today, trading around the low‑$31 range versus recent levels in the mid‑$30s to near $39, as the market reacted negatively to Q4 2025 results and forward commentary. Full‑year 2025 results showed stable earnings and dividend growth but a roughly 9% decline in services revenue to about $46.3 million, reflecting a slowdown in project‑based construction work.
SMTC shares dropped over 8% today after the company reported Q4 results that met or modestly beat Street estimates but showed the slowest year‑over‑year revenue growth in several quarters, at about 9.3% to roughly $274–275 million.
AXTI shares slipped more than 6% today, reversing part of a powerful rally that had recently driven the stock to a 52‑week high above $47 and more than doubled its price year‑to‑date. Q4 2025 revenue of about $23.0 million missed consensus by roughly $1.2 million and fell 8–18% year over year and sequentially, while the company posted another GAAP net loss of around $3.5 million (–$0.08 per share).
Shares of SailPoint, Inc. (SAIL) are tumbling approximately 12% in premarket trading on March 18, 2026, after the company released its fiscal fourth-quarter and full-year 2026 results before the market opened. While Q4 revenue came in slightly above consensus at $295 million (+23% year-over-year), investors were rattled by disappointing forward guidance for fiscal 2027.
Shares of KC surged approximately +17% in premarket trading on March 18, 2026, from a prior close of $13.12 to approximately $15.35. The primary catalyst is Kingsoft Cloud's release of its unaudited Q4 and full-year 2025 financial results before the U.S. market open, which appear to have significantly exceeded analyst expectations.
AngloGold Ashanti (AU) shares tumbled approximately 7% in premarket trading on March 18, 2026, extending a multi-week downtrend that has erased nearly 20% of the stock's value since late January highs. The primary catalyst driving the decline is persistent investor concern over AngloGold's lowered 2026 production guidance, with the company projecting gold output of 2.80–3.17 million ounces — a roughly 3% decline from its 2025 production of 3.1 million ounces.
AAOI shares surged approximately 10.90% in premarket trading on March 18, 2026, rising from a prior close of $86.33 to $95.74.

LITE shares surged approximately +12% in early Wednesday trading on March 18, 2026, with the stock changing hands near $727 compared to a prior session close of $649.56. The primary near-term catalyst is Lumentum's S&P 500 index inclusion, effective March 23, 2026, triggering front-running by institutional investors and mandatory buying by passive index funds.
Shares of New Era Energy & Digital, Inc. (NUAI) are trading down approximately 17% during today's session, with the prior close sitting at $5.56. The decline follows the company's March 17 business update conference call and webcast, held after market hours, during which management discussed the recently filed fiscal year 2025 annual report (Form 10-K).
Shares of Regencell Bioscience Holdings (RGC) are up approximately +16% intraday on March 18, 2026, trading at $26.56 against a prior close of $22.97. No single company-specific press release is driving today's move; the rally is primarily fueled by retail-driven momentum and short squeeze mechanics.
