Stocks making the biggest moves premarket: Lyft, Moderna, Cloudflare, Ford, Zillow Group and more
Check out the companies making headlines before the bell: Moderna — Shares tumbled 10% after the pharma giant said the Food and Drug Administration refused to reviewits application for an experimental flu shot, mRNA-1010. Moderna said it has requested a meeting with the FDA to “understand the path forward.” Humana — The health insurance company slid 6.7%, even after reporting a beat on both profit and revenue in its most recent earnings. Humana reported a fourth-quarter loss of $3.96 per share, on an adjusted basis, on revenues of $32.52 billion. Analysts polled by LSEG had expected a per-share loss of $4.01 on revenues of $32.08 billion. Generac — The energy technology solutions provider jumped nearly 6% despite its fourth-quarter earnings missing Wall Street expectations. In a press release, CEO Aaron Jagdfeld explained that while shipments of home standby and power generators slowed, the company’s presence in the data center market grew. He expects Generac’s position as a key supplier to hyperscalers to add to the company’s backlog in the coming quarters. Avantor — The provider of products and services to the life sciences industry more than 11% after issuing fiscal year 2026 earnings guidance in the range of 77 cents to 83 cents, far below the FactSet consensus estimate of 90 cents earnings per share. Mattel — The toy manufacturer tumbled 28% after posting fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of 39 cents per share, lower than FactSet’s estimates of 54 cents. Mattel’s $1.77 billion revenue also came in below the expected $1.84 billion. Mattel’s guidance also came well below Street estimates, with the firm seeing adjusted earnings for the year in between $1.18 and $1.30 versus the consensus estimate of $1.77. Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase both downgraded the stock. Lyft — The ride-sharing company dropped 17% after reporting bookings in the fourth quarter of $5.07 billion, in line with FactSet consensus expectations.

Ford Motor — The automaker advanced 1.6% after posting fourth quarter automotive revenue of $42.4 billion, better than the LSEG consensus estimate for $41.83 billion. However, Ford reported its widest quarterly earnings miss in four years, with profits of 13 cents per share on an adjusted basis versus the 19 cents per share anticipated. Cloudflare — The cloud network company rallied 14% after sharing a rosy first-quarter revenue outlook. Cloudflare sees revenue ranging from $620 million to $621 million, higher than the $614 million LSEG consensus estimate. Full-year revenue also came in ahead of expectations. The company beat analysts’ estimates for the fourth quarter on the top and bottom lines.
