Check out the companies making headlines before the bell:
- CrowdStrike — The cybersecurity stock dropped 4% after Guggenheim downgraded CrowdStrike to neutral from buy, saying the company is unlikely to emerge unscathed from the global outage.
- Nvidia — Shares gained 2% after Reuters, citing people familiar with the matter, reported Nvidia is preparing a version of its new Blackwell chips for the Chinese market. They would be compatible with current U.S. export controls, the report said.
- Bank of America — The bank stock dipped more than 1% in premarket trading after a filing revealed that Warren Buffett‘s Berkshire Hathaway sold 33.9 million Bank of America shares for almost $1.5 billion last week. Berkshire remains Bank of America’s largest shareholder with a 10.8% stake after the sale. Berkshire may be taking some profits with the bank stock up 27.4% so far this year.
