Here are some top movers of the premarket.

Best Buy (BBY) – The electronics retailer’s shares tumbled 10.4% in the premarket, after it forecast holiday season comparable sales largely below Wall Street forecasts as it faces possible product shortages.

Zoom Video (ZM) – Zoom beat estimates by 2 cents a share, with quarterly profit of $1.11 per share. Zoom’s full-year guidance was also raised and revenue exceeded Street expectations. However, the return to work of many employees is slowing sales growth and Zoom’s full-year guidance was raised. The stock plunged 9.6% during premarket trading.

Urban Outfitters (URBN) – Urban Outfitters earned 89 cents per share for its latest quarter, 5 cents a share above estimates. Analysts had expected revenue to be slightly higher than actual. However, the apparel retailer is suffering from a slump in stock prices due to increased costs as they shift more customers online. The stock fell 11.5% during premarket trading.

Dick’s Sporting Goods (DKS) – The sporting goods retailer earned $3.19 per share for the third quarter, well above the $1.97 a share consensus estimate.

Medtronic (MDT) – Medtronic reported a mixed quarter, with revenue falling below Street forecasts. Medical device manufacturer Medtronic’s profit exceeded forecasts by three cents per share. Earnings were $1.32 each share. Medtronic has also decreased its outlook for the full year, citing Covid-19’s revival and challenges in health-care personnel.

J.M. Smucker (SJM) – The food producer reported quarterly earnings of $2.43 per share, beating the $2.05 a share consensus estimate. Smucker also exceeded expectations in revenue and raised its full-year outlook due to strong demand from its flagship brand, Jif, Folgers, and Milk-Bone. Smucker saw a 1.2% increase in premarket sales.

Xpeng (XPEV) – Xpeng jumped 3% in the premarket after the China-based electric vehicle maker reported a wider-than-expected quarterly loss, but also saw revenue come in well above estimates while issuing an upbeat current-quarter outlook.

Agilent Technologies (A) – Agilent came in 3 cents a share ahead of Street forecasts, with quarterly earnings of $1.21 per share. Life sciences company revenue was consistent with forecasts. Agilent’s genomic and diagnostics unit showed particular strength in the third quarter.
