Take a look at the companies making headlines in premarket trading: CrowdStrike – Shares of the cloud security platform rose about 2% after upgrading to buy from HSBC. Analyst Stephen Bersey claimed that “the bad news is behind us” on CrowdStrike stock regarding the mid-July outage due to a software update. Lululemon – Athleisure stock rose 4.5% after an earnings beat. Lululemon reported second-quarter earnings per share of $3.15, ahead of LSEG’s estimate of $2.93 per share. Revenue of $2.37 billion fell below the consensus of $2.41 billion. The company also lowered its full-year guidance. Abercrombie & Fitch – The apparel retailer added 2% after Citi upgraded the stock to buy, with analyst Paul Lejuez saying a recent sell-off presents a buying opportunity for investors at an attractive entry point. Alibaba – The e-commerce company’s US-traded shares rose after China’s market regulator said Alibaba had completed a three-year regulatory “rectification process.” The company was fined in 2021 as part of an antitrust investigation. Ulta Beauty – The beauty retailer saw its shares tumble more than 8% in premarket trading after the company missed second-quarter expectations and lowered its full-year guidance following a decline in same-store sales.
