4/10/2026 pre market stocks

Screening Filters

1. Market Cap ≥ $300,000,000

   • Purpose: Focus on established, more stable companies.
   • Rationale: Very small / micro-cap stocks can show extreme pre-market moves driven by a few trades or illiquidity, which may not be representative of broader pre-market performance. A $300M+ floor keeps the universe to names where pre-market moves are more meaningful and less easily manipulated.

2. Price ≥ $2

   • Purpose: Exclude very low-priced and penny stocks.
   • Rationale: Sub-$2 stocks often have large percentage swings on minimal dollar moves (e.g., $0.20 → $0.24 is +20%). These can distort the view of “pre-market performance.” A $2+ price helps focus on stocks where moves are more likely to reflect real information rather than noise.

3. Average Volume ≥ 100,000

   • Purpose: Ensure there is sufficient trading activity.
   • Rationale: Low-volume stocks may show big pre-market percentage changes on tiny share counts. Requiring at least 100k in regular trading volume helps highlight stocks where pre-market action is more liquid and tradable, and more likely to matter to most investors.

4. Pre-market Price Change ≥ +3%

   • Purpose: Capture notable pre-market movers.
   • Rationale: When you ask about “pre-market stock performance,” you’re generally most interested in stocks moving meaningfully before the open (earnings reactions, news, upgrades/downgrades, etc.). A 3% minimum filters out noise and focuses on impactful pre-market moves.

5. Region: United States

   • Purpose: Limit results to U.S.-listed stocks.
   • Rationale: Pre-market hours, liquidity patterns, and news flow differ by region. Since most users referencing a specific U.S. date (4/10/2026) are looking at the U.S. session, this filter ensures you see names trading on the U.S. schedule and in U.S. pre-market hours.

6. Exchanges: XNYS (NYSE), XNAS (NASDAQ), XASE (AMEX)

   • Purpose: Focus on major U.S. exchanges.
   • Rationale: These are the primary, most liquid U.S. stock venues. Restricting to NYSE, NASDAQ, and AMEX avoids OTC and other less-regulated markets, where price discovery and pre-market data may be less reliable.
