Premarket Movers Overview
U.S. stock‑index futures slipped on Monday as fresh U.S. military strikes against Iranian targets in the Persian Gulf pushed crude oil up sharply and a more hawkish tone from Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh at the Jackson Hole symposium heightened rate‑sensitivity among investors. S&P 500 futures fell 0.15% to 7,701 points, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures slipped 0.19% to 53,484 points, and Nasdaq‑100 futures were largely unchanged at 29,506 points.
Tenax Therapeutics (TENX)
Tenax Therapeutics shares climbed 3.8% in pre‑market trading after the company disclosed additional data from its Phase 3 LEVEL trial of TNX‑103 (oral levosimendan) presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Munich on August 29. The data indicated a favorable treatment effect in patients with lower baseline exercise capacity, with the benefit appearing to increase as disease severity rose. The results could strengthen the regulatory case for the drug in pulmonary hypertension associated with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, a condition that currently lacks approved therapies.
Snap Inc. (SNAP)
Snap shares rose 4.1% to $5.65 in pre‑market trading, partially recouping a roughly 9% decline recorded on August 26 after the Pennsylvania Attorney General filed a civil lawsuit alleging that Snapchat’s design encourages compulsive use among minors through features such as disappearing messages, infinite scrolling and restorable Snapstreaks.
Miniso (MNSO)
Miniso shares dropped 6.2% to $9.69 in pre‑market trading, extending losses after the retailer released disappointing second‑quarter results on August 28. The company reported earnings per share of ‑0.94 yuan, versus consensus expectations of +1.95 yuan, and revenue of 5.75 billion yuan, missing the consensus estimate of 5.81 billion yuan. Management highlighted weakness in overseas operations, noting that international markets contributed only 10‑15% of profit in the first half of 2026, down sharply from 35‑40% in 2023. The firm also pointed to a 10% decline in distributor revenue across Asia and Latin America and weaker same‑store performance in North America, which it attributed to delays in intellectual‑property product launches and shortages of popular products.
Antelope Enterprise Holdings (AEHL)
Antelope Enterprise Holdings shares surged 65.6% in pre‑market trading after the company announced an $18.99 million private placement accompanied by warrants. The capital raise is sizable relative to the company’s market value and was intended to boost liquidity. Antelope is also pursuing a Bitcoin treasury strategy known as the “Genius Plan” and has filed a $200 million mixed‑securities shelf registration.
Pinterest (PINS)
Pinterest shares fell 2.2% in pre‑market trading following the resignation of Chief Financial Officer Julia Brau Donnelly, who will remain with the company until October 30 to support the transition, according to a regulatory filing. The company stated that her departure was not related to any disagreement over its operations, policies, practices or accounting matters.
Market Context
The broader market backdrop featured a +3.71 point rise in crude oil futures (CL) and a ‑30.45 point decline in the Australian Energy Index (AEHL), reflecting heightened geopolitical risk from Iran‑related tensions. Rate‑sensitive technology and semiconductor stocks continued to feel pressure, contributing to the modest movement in Nasdaq‑100 futures.
