urban-gro Inc's stock has surged by 17.07% in pre-market trading as it crosses above the 20-day SMA. This movement occurs amid a broader market decline, with the Nasdaq-100 down 0.48% and the S&P 500 down 0.07%. The stock's rise suggests sector rotation as investors shift their focus despite the overall market weakness.
The surge is attributed to sector rotation, as investors are increasingly looking for opportunities in specific sectors, including urban-gro's niche. This shift indicates a potential change in investor sentiment, favoring stocks that may perform better in the current economic climate.
