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. The stock was last at $6.18, after ending Tuesday up 9% at $6.41 on volume of about 93 million shares. StockAnalysis The timing matters. BigBear.ai has been moving on balance-sheet changes and deal news, and the tape has turned twitchy again just as Wall Street tries to decide whether the rally has legs or is just a squeeze-and-fade. The downgrade lands on top of an unusually tight calendar.
