Beta Technologies (NYSE:BETA) (up USD 1.85, 9.08%): Best Quarter Yet and a Higher Revenue Range

Beta Technologies (NYSE:BETA) gained 9.08% to USD 22.23 in premarket trading on November 3, 2026, which suggests a prior close near USD 20.38 (calculated). The company released third quarter 2026 results that morning and described it as its strongest quarter since inception.

Revenue reached USD 17.7 million, compared with USD 8.9 million a year earlier, and full year 2026 revenue guidance was lifted to USD 52 million to USD 57 million. The net loss was USD 119.1 million. Cash declined to USD 1,343.1 million at September 30, 2026 from USD 1,710.2 million at December 31, 2025.

Harmonic (NASDAQ:HLIT) (up USD 1.67, 16.39%): Broadband Revenue Jumps 64%

Harmonic (NASDAQ:HLIT) climbed 16.39% to USD 11.86 in premarket trading on November 3, 2026, following results released after the close on November 2, 2026. Revenue from continuing operations reached USD 148.8 million, up from USD 90.5 million a year earlier, and non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share came in at USD 0.23 versus USD 0.07.

The company lifted its 2026 revenue outlook to USD 545 million to USD 555 million. One caution is that third quarter bookings of USD 105.9 million trailed the USD 144.3 million recorded in the second quarter.

Ethos Technologies (NASDAQ:LIFE) (up USD 5.38, 12.62%): Digital Life insurance Expansion

Ethos Technologies (NASDAQ:LIFE) advanced 12.62% to USD 48.00 in premarket trading on November 3, 2026, after third quarter revenue grew 151% to USD 235 million. The company activated 142,111 policies in the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA was USD 35 million, up 87%, and full year 2026 revenue guidance now sits at USD 838 million to USD 842 million. The fourth quarter revenue guide midpoint of USD 222 million falls below the third quarter figure of USD 235 million (calculated). Premarket volumes are thin, so early moves can reverse.

Cerus (NASDAQ:CERS) (down USD 0.1699, 7.20%): Penny Stock Dips Despite Positive Trial Data

Cerus (NASDAQ:CERS) slid 7.20% to USD 2.19 in premarket trading on November 3, 2026, which implies a Monday close of about USD 2.36 (calculated). The company released third quarter results and announced positive topline results from its Phase 3 RedeS trial on November 2, 2026. The release did not include numerical trial data in the material reviewed, and the company cautioned that findings may change after full analysis.

Total revenue was USD 64.0 million, up 6%, and the net loss attributable to Cerus was USD 0.6 million. Cash and short-term investments were USD 57.1 million at September 30, 2026, down from USD 82.9 million at December 31, 2025. Trading below USD 5, CERS is a penny stock, and extended-hours prices may not hold into the regular session.

Grab Holdings (NASDAQ:GRAB) (up USD 0.2800, 9.79%): First Quarter With All Segments Profitable

Grab Holdings (NASDAQ:GRAB) rose 9.79% to USD 3.14 in premarket trading on November 3, 2026. The company said all three core segments were profitable in the same quarter for the first time, with revenue of USD 1,112 million, up 27%, and adjusted EBITDA of USD 237 million.

Full year 2026 guidance now calls for revenue of USD 4.15 billion to USD 4.20 billion and adjusted EBITDA of USD 790 million to USD 800 million. Risks include a USD 60 million break fee to be recorded in the fourth quarter after Taiwan's Fair Trade Commission rejected the foodpanda Taiwan acquisition, and Non-Performing Loans at 2.6%. Shares priced under USD 5 can be volatile.

Where Things Stand

Five companies reported quarterly numbers around November 2 and 3, 2026, and four of the five were higher in premarket trading. The exception, Cerus (NASDAQ:CERS), shows that positive clinical news does not always lift a penny stock when cash is falling. Details beyond headline revenue matter, including Harmonic (NASDAQ:HLIT) bookings and Beta Technologies (NYSE:BETA) cash use. Traders will watch whether premarket moves hold once regular trading opens on November 3, 2026, and how each company performs against its guided range in the fourth quarter.
