What moved the stocks

Zhibao Technology (ZBAO) led the list, up 137.19% at $0.50 on 119.1M shares. At 6:00 AM ET the China InsurTech company reported fiscal 2026 results for the year ended June 30 and filed its Form 20-F. Revenue rose 16% to 319.9 million yuan ($47.1 million). Operating income turned positive at 9.2 million yuan, versus an operating loss of 53.5 million yuan a year earlier, and the net loss narrowed 95.3% to 2.9 million yuan ($0.38 million) (company release). The release cited negative working capital and an accumulated deficit as of June 30, creating substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern before later transactions, plus a 1-for-50 reverse split effective Oct. 12. Shares closed Thursday at $0.2108.

Merlin (MRLN) rose 41.02% after third-quarter results at 4:05 PM ET Thursday. Revenue was $3.5 million, up from $2.2 million in the second quarter.

Risk note

Premarket gappers are often small, low-float stocks that can reverse quickly. Volume is thin, spreads can be wide, and a gap can fade at the open. Several leaders trade below $1, including ZBAO, RAIN and SHFS. SHFS faces a Nasdaq suspension on Nov. 18, and ZBAO's annual report cites going-concern doubt as of June 30. Liftoff moved on only 83,646 shares, and Modine on about 0.2M. Moves this large can bring trading halts, as FINRA explains. A large gain is not a sign of quality.
