Watchlist Movers
- HIMS -9.37% pre-market — Regulatory headwinds continue as the company transitions from high-margin compounded GLP-1 drugs to lower-margin branded Wegovy distribution following FDA enforcement and Novo Nordisk patent settlement.
- SMR -4.56% pre-market — Insider selling pressure after Fluor Corp director sold 13.5M shares ($163M) on April 9, creating supply overhang. Stock hit a new 52-week low despite positive nuclear energy tailwinds.
- OKLO -3.13% pre-market — Pre-revenue nuclear startup under continued selling pressure; recent regulatory approvals appear priced in with no near-term earnings catalyst.
International Markets
Asia was the standout overnight — the Nikkei surged 2.43% and Hang Seng gained 1.72%, driven by tech sector strength and trade optimism. Shanghai added 0.67%. Europe opened mildly positive with FTSE +0.37% and DAX +0.36%.
What to Watch at Open
HIMS is the biggest watchlist mover at nearly -10% — watch for support levels and whether the GLP-1 margin compression narrative accelerates selling. Nuclear names (SMR, OKLO) are under pressure despite sector tailwinds, suggesting stock-specific concerns are outweighing the bullish thesis.
