undefined | Stocks making the biggest moves premarket: Sysco, CrowdStrike, Alcoa & more

**Stocks Leading the Premarket Action**
The pre‑market session highlighted a mix of sharp declines and strong gains across several sectors. Sysco, the wholesale food distributor, slid 4.5 % after announcing a $29.1 billion acquisition of Jetro Restaurant Depot, which the company said would be “immediately accretive” and close in its fiscal third quarter of 2027. Avis saw its shares tumble more than 9 % following a massive 48 % rally the week before; investors appeared to be taking profits after the rental firm benefited from heightened travel demand caused by a Department of Homeland Security funding impasse at U.S. airports.

**Materials, Cybersecurity and Defense Winners**
Alcoa rallied over 9 % as aluminum prices rose more than 4.5 % after Iranian missile strikes disrupted critical infrastructure in the Middle East, boosting expectations for higher metal prices. Cybersecurity leader CrowdStrike gained roughly 2.5 % after Wolfe Research upgraded the stock to “outperform,” citing increasing cyber risks linked to artificial‑intelligence technologies, while Morgan Stanley named it a top pick despite a 21 % decline in 2026 on earlier AI‑related concerns. Defense contractor Leidos added about 2.5 % after completing its $2.4 billion acquisition of Entrust, a move aimed at expanding its footprint in the energy‑infrastructure market and meeting rising power‑sector demand.

**Tech Platforms and Memory Chip Rebound**
Trading platforms Robinhood and Coinbase each rose more than 2 % as cryptocurrency prices recovered, with Bitcoin up 2.5 % and back above $67,000. Expedia saw a 2.5 % gain after Jefferies upgraded the online travel company to a buy rating, citing strong earnings growth despite AI‑related worries and travel‑demand headwinds from the Middle East conflict. Memory‑chip stocks—including SanDisk, Seagate Technology and Micron—rebounded about 2 % following a brief sell‑off triggered by Google research that had investors fearing a slowdown in chip demand.
