Adjusted EBITDA was USD 35 million, up 87%, and full year 2026 revenue guidance is now USD 838 million to USD 842 million. The fourth quarter revenue guide midpoint of USD 222 million sits below the third quarter figure of USD 235 million (calculated). Pre-market volumes are thin, so early moves can reverse.

Cerus (NASDAQ:CERS) (down USD 0.1699, 7.20%): Penny Stock Slips Despite Positive Trial Data

Cerus (NASDAQ:CERS) was down 7.20% to USD 2.19 in pre-market trading on November 3, 2026, which implies a Monday close of about USD 2.36 (calculated). The company released third quarter results and announced positive topline results from its Phase 3 RedeS trial on November 2, 2026. The release did not include numerical trial data in the material reviewed, and the company cautioned that findings may change after full analysis.

Total revenue was USD 64.0 million, up 6%, and the net loss attributable to Cerus was USD 0.6 million. Cash and short-term investments were USD 57.1 million at September 30, 2026, down from USD 82.9 million at December 31, 2025. Trading below USD 5, CERS is a penny stock, and extended-hours prices may not hold into the regular session.

Grab Holdings (NASDAQ:GRAB) (up USD 0.2800, 9.79%): First Quarter With All Segments Profitable

Grab Holdings (NASDAQ:GRAB) was up 9.79% to USD 3.14 in pre-market trading on November 3, 2026. The company said all three core segments were profitable in the same quarter for the first time, with revenue of USD 1,112 million, up 27%, and adjusted EBITDA of USD 237 million.

Full year 2026 guidance now calls for revenue of USD 4.15 billion to USD 4.20 billion and adjusted EBITDA of USD 790 million to USD 800 million. Risks include a USD 60 million break fee to be recorded in the fourth quarter after Taiwan's Fair Trade Commission rejected the foodpanda Taiwan acquisition, and Non-Performing Loans at 2.6%. Shares priced under USD 5 can be volatile.

Where Things Stand

Five companies reported quarterly numbers around November 2 and 3, 2026, and four of the five were higher in pre-market trading. The exception, Cerus (NASDAQ:CERS), shows that positive clinical news does not always lift a penny stock when cash is falling. Details beyond headline revenue matter, including Harmonic (NASDAQ:HLIT) bookings and Beta Technologies (NYSE:BETA) cash use. Traders will watch whether pre-market moves hold once regular trading opens on November 3, 2026, and how each company performs against its guided range in the fourth quarter.
