Casper Sleep (CSPR) – Casper Sleep shares soared 6.3% in premarket trading after the maker of mattresses and other bedding products reported a smaller-than-expected quarterly loss and saw revenue exceed estimates as well.

Poshmark (POSH) – Poshmark stock tanked 12.5% in the premarket, despite upbeat first-quarter results.

Lowe’s (LOW) – Lowe’s was upgraded to “outperform” from “perform” at Oppenheimer, which pointed to the home improvement retailer’s discounted valuation compared to that of rival Home Depot (HD).
