- HUB Cyber Security was up 91% in premarket, after shares surged 137% on Friday.
- SEC filings out recently showed big passive stakes from Tyler Kent White, Andre Wang, and Jon Matthew Walden.
- Nasdaq still lists a filing deficiency for HUB, which has yet to file its 2025 annual report, but the move goes ahead anyway.
HUB Cyber Security Ltd. shares jumped in early premarket action Monday. The move stretched a recent surge that’s made the small Nasdaq stock one of the more volatile micro-cap names lately.
HUBC traded at $0.4989 in Investing.com’s premarket quote at 05:42:18, a jump of 91.08%. The stock finished Friday at $0.2611, up 137.36%, with 1.37 billion shares traded. Premarket trading happens before Nasdaq’s regular opening and often sees lighter volume and bigger price moves.
The latest move is notable. It comes after a spate of SEC ownership filings in a company with just about 1.28 million ordinary shares left after a recent reverse split. A reverse split cuts the total number of shares, usually to boost the share price. HUB said in April it would turn every 50 ordinary shares into one, dropping the count to 1,282,052 shares post-split.
Filings sit at the center of this trade. Tyler Kent White disclosed ownership of 450,000 shares, or 35.1% of the class, in a Schedule 13G/A filed May 27. A Schedule 13G goes to U.S. regulators when big holders report a stake without aiming for control. White’s filing said the securities aren’t held to change or influence control at the company.
Andre Wang reported owning 200,000 shares, or 15.6%, with sole voting and dispositive power, in a filing dated May 28. Jon Matthew Walden filed on May 27, disclosing 128,022 shares, or 9.9%.
Those percentages tell part of the story for the stock, but not for the company itself. HUB hasn’t reported earnings or issued a new operations update in the past 24 hours. The company says it offers cybersecurity and secure data tech, protecting computers and data from digital threats.
Tech stocks look set for gains as U.S. futures moved higher early Monday. Investors brushed aside Middle East tensions and put attention on AI-driven moves in big tech, according to Reuters. Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike, the larger cybersecurity names, have mostly traded around their earnings outlooks and demand for AI security, not on disclosure-filing activity.
HUBC’s rally is happening while the company faces compliance problems. HUB said on May 21 that it got a Nasdaq deficiency notice for not filing its annual 20-F for the year ended Dec. 31, 2025. The company said the notice does “no current effect” to trading or listing, but HUB has until July 17 to give Nasdaq a compliance plan. GlobeNewswire
Main risk is in the trade here. If the company doesn’t meet Nasdaq’s requirements, if the annual report brings up more worries, or if any of the big holders who showed their stakes decide to sell during the rally, then the tight float that sent shares higher could hit just as hard on the way down. Thin, speculative stocks drop fast when buyers pull out.
Nasdaq’s regular trading hours will run from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EDT Monday. June 1 does not appear on the U.S. equity-market holiday calendar.
