New York, Feb 6, 2026, 08:59 (EST) — Premarket
- CCC shares up about 1% in premarket after a 12.6% drop in the prior session
- Court records show GM sued a group that includes CCC in a U.S. design-patent case
- CCC rolled out expanded access to its CCC ONE estimating software after a new workforce study
Shares of Nasdaq-listed CCC Intelligent Solutions Holdings Inc were up 1.2% at $5.75 in premarket trade as of 8:22 a.m. EST on Friday. The stock sank 12.6% on Thursday to $5.68 and touched a 52-week low of $5.57.
Premarket trading, which happens before U.S. exchanges open at 9:30 a.m. Eastern, can magnify early moves. CCC sells subscription software used by insurers and collision-repair shops to estimate and manage auto claims.
The swings matter because CCC is getting hit from two sides: legal noise around the auto-parts supply chain and a separate, softer update tied to the industry’s labor squeeze. With quarterly results later this month, investors are watching whether the stock’s slide is turning into something more stubborn.
General Motors LLC and GM Global Technology Operations LLC sued a group that includes CCC Intelligent Solutions Holdings Inc. and CCC Intelligent Solutions Inc. in U.S. federal court in Illinois, a docket showed. The case also lists LKQ Corp and Keystone Automotive Industries among defendants.
An industry legal group said GM filed three design-patent suits in Michigan and Illinois and named CCC, LKQ and Genuine Parts among others. Design patents cover how a product looks, not how it works — a narrow label that can still drag a long list of companies into court.
Separately, CCC said it surveyed 475 U.S. students and recent graduates with the Collision Repair Education Foundation and found 95% viewed collision repair as more stable than traditional college-degree jobs. CCC said it will provide its CCC ONE estimating software to every CREF member school, extending a program it said has already donated more than $75 million of software since 2011. “We can build a steady influx of talent,” Andreas Hecht, a senior vice president at CCC, said, while product executive Mark Fincher said new hires trained on the same technology “ramp up more quickly” in shops.

Thursday’s slide in CCC also landed on a rough day for U.S. markets, with the Nasdaq down 1.6% as technology shares and bitcoin fell, putting more pressure on smaller, riskier software names.
But the GM case is early, and there is no clear read-through yet to costs or liability for CCC. Legal fights can run for years, and premarket rebounds often fade once regular trading starts.
CCC said it will release fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results after U.S. markets close on Feb. 24 and hold a conference call at 5 p.m. Eastern to discuss results and outlook.
