Newsmax (NMAX) – The biggest move on the list
Newsmax opened at $9.25, dipped to $8.45 in the first 15 minutes — under the $8.56 level, still above $7.98 — then climbed through $9.38 and reached $9.99 around 10:15 a.m. It closed at $9.58, up 31.4%, on about 5.1 million shares, about 4.7 times Thursday’s volume. After hours it was around $9.46.
The move followed third-quarter results released Thursday after the close: record revenue of $69.0 million, up 52.5%, including a one-time $14.0 million termination fee; excluding that item, revenue was $55.0 million, up 21.6%. Net income was $15.2 million, or 12 cents a share, compared with a $4.1 million loss a year earlier, according to the company’s release and Benzinga. Freedom Capital Markets upgraded the stock to Buy and kept a $10 price target, Benzinga reported. We note analyst ratings only as news, not as recommendations.

Liftoff Mobile (LFTO) – Extended the after-hours jump
Liftoff opened at $23.78, already above the $22.40 level and just under $23.86. It reached $24.70 in the 9:45 a.m. bar, above both upper levels on our list, then eased to a low of $21.19 around 12:30 p.m., still above $19.82. It closed at $24.44, up 30.6%, on about 9.6 million shares, about 7.8 times Thursday’s volume. After hours it was around $24.30.
The company had beaten third-quarter estimates (47 cents a share vs. 17 cents expected; sales of $237.5 million vs. $221.8 million) and guided fourth-quarter sales to $244 million–$249 million, above a $232.5 million estimate, per Benzinga. Benzinga also reported that Liftoff raised its full-year revenue outlook to $907 million–$912 million from $870 million–$880 million.
Modine (MOD) – Held most of the after-hours move
Modine opened at $142.00, already above the $139.00 after-hours high from Thursday, and reached $146.50 in the first 15 minutes, above the $144.87 level on our list (that figure is the Oct. 27 high; last night’s post labeled it Oct. 28). It then faded, touched $131.50 around 10:15 a.m. — still above $128.40 — and closed at $135.66, up 27.9%, near Thursday night’s after-hours price of about $136.00. Volume was about 8.4 million shares, about 4.8 times Thursday’s. After hours it was around $133.65.
The catalyst was unchanged: Bloomberg News reported Thursday evening, as relayed by Reuters and Benzinga, that Samsung Electronics is in talks to acquire Modine. Bloomberg said no final decision has been made and that the talks could still fall apart; the companies have declined to comment.

Cerebras Systems (CBRS) – A wide range after the earnings report
Cerebras opened at $108.70 and spiked to $120.44 in the first 15 minutes, above the $117.04 after-hours high and just short of the $120.60 level on our list (the Oct. 27 high; last night’s post labeled it Oct. 28). It then sold off to $101.18 around 10:30 a.m., below $104.05, and spent the rest of the day climbing back. It closed at $108.72, up 11.2%, on about 36.9 million shares, about 2.1 times Thursday’s volume. After hours it was around $106.10.
The company reported record third-quarter core revenue of $230.9 million, above a $214.7 million estimate, raised its 2026 core revenue outlook to $940 million–$960 million, and said Microsoft signed a cloud deal in October, with revenue expected from the first quarter of 2027 (CNBC, Reuters, the company, Benzinga). GAAP revenue of $210.8 million and a loss of 67 cents a share missed estimates of about $214.9 million and a 14-cent loss, per Benzinga. Mizuho, UBS and Needham kept their ratings and lowered price targets, Benzinga reported.
Flowers Foods (FLO) – A new 52-week low
Flowers Foods opened at $5.70, below the $5.93 level, reached $6.25 in the first 15 minutes — above $5.93 and short of $6.54 — then dropped to $5.305 around 10:15 a.m. That print is a new 52-week low, per Webull, and it broke the $5.40 level (the prior 52-week low on our list). The stock stayed above the $5.11 after-hours low from Thursday and closed at $5.53, down 8.0%, on about 19.9 million shares, about 1.6 times Thursday’s volume. After hours it was around $5.54.
The bakery company had cut its 2026 outlook after third-quarter net sales fell 4.7% to $1.169 billion and adjusted earnings came in at 10 cents a share, versus a 15-cent estimate, according to its release and Investing.com.
What’s Next
Four of the five names held most or all of Thursday night’s after-hours move, even when they faded from morning highs. Flowers Foods was the exception, and it closed the week with a new 52-week low. Day two after a deal report or an earnings print can still be a wide session: Cerebras traded almost $20 from high to low, and Liftoff more than $3.
Our next list, Stocks to Watch for Monday, Nov. 16, is already up. It includes United and Delta after Friday’s FAA ground stop, plus Baidu, Tyson Foods and Aramark, which report before Monday’s open.
