BigBear.ai (BBAI) stock slips premarket after Cantor downgrade — what investors watch next

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 08:36 ET — Premarket BigBear.ai Holdings shares fell 3.6% in premarket trading on Wednesday after a Cantor Fitzgerald downgrade cooled momentum in the small-cap defense AI name.

Strategy stock rises premarket after MSCI backs off crypto index purge

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 07:12 EST — Premarket Shares of Strategy rose about 4% in premarket trading on Wednesday after MSCI dropped a proposal that could have pushed the bitcoin-heavy company out of its benchmarks. “We suspect exclusion is postponed until later in the year,” JonesTrading chief market strategist Mike O’Rourke said. Reuters The move matters because Strategy sits in a wide range of index-tracking portfolios. A removal from major indexes can force passive funds to sell, adding pressure to a stock that already trades like a high-volatility proxy for bitcoin. MSCI’s decision also buys time for a fast-growing
