  • Hasbro gained 2.3% ahead of the bell on a 15% rise in net earnings in the third quarter.

  • B. Riley Principal 150 Merger rose more than 6% premarket. The SPAC is combining with FaZe Clan to take the youth-focused digital platform public, a $1 billion deal earlier reported by The Wall Street Journal.
  • Crane ‘s stock price gained 2.1% after it reported earnings and gave the green light to a share repurchase plan.
  • Shares of Digital World Acquisition, the SPAC that has agreed to take former President Donald Trump’s social-media venture public, rose 5.5% premarket. That’s a modest move compared with DWAC’s surge in price over the past week.
  • Phunware, an unprofitable tech company that worked for the former president’s campaign, fell 3.5%, unwinding a small part of its recent gains.
