Five Below (FIVE) – The discount retailer’s stock slid 3.4% in premarket trading following a mixed quarterly report. Although Five Below beat analyst estimates by one penny, the quarterly earnings were $2.49/share. However, both revenue and comparable sales fell below analysts’ expectations.

Lululemon (LULU) – Lululemon rallied 7.4% in premarket action despite a quarterly revenue miss. Athletic apparel manufacturer Lululemon reported a adjusted quarterly profit at $3.37 per shares, nine cents more than estimates. It also issued positive guidance for 2022. Lululemon has also launched a $1 million share buyback program.

Micron Technology (MU) – Micron reported an adjusted quarterly profit of $2.14 per share, 17 cents above estimates.

Chewy (CHWY) – Chewy stock was slammed by 13.5% in premarket trading after top and bottom line misses for its latest quarter. As labor costs increased and profits shrank, the 15 cent loss per share of this pet products retailer was greater than expected by analysts.

Wayfair (W) – The furniture and home decor retailer’s shares took a 4.5% hit in premarket trading after Loop Capital downgraded the stock to “sell” from “hold,” predicting a negative impact from Fed tightening and the end of Covid-related stimulus.
