Stock futures were rising Monsay as Wall Street kicked off the final full trading week of 2025.
These stocks were poised to make moves Monday:
iRobot plummeted 82% to 76 cents ahead of the opening bell after the Roomba maker declared bankruptcy on Sunday. The company has struggled financially for years, and a proposed sale to Amazon fell through last year.
Miners Newmont Mining and Freeport-McMoRan climbed 1.9% and 1.8%, respectively, thanks to a surge in gold and silver prices. The rotation away from tech stocks into safe havens has driven the precious metals higher, and they could get another boost next year due to lower interest rates.
Tilray Inc. rose 5% and Canopy Growth added 6% in premarket trading. The cannabis stocks rallied on Friday following reports that President Donald Trump may loosen federal restrictions on marijuana as soon as Monday. A White House official told Barron's that no final decision had been made regarding the drug.
ServiceNow dropped 2.3% after Bloomberg reported that the software company was in talks to acquire cybersecurity startup Armis in a deal that could reach $7 billion in value, citing people familiar with the matter. ServiceNow didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Barron's.
The stock also was downgraded to Underweight from Sector Weight at KeyBanc with a $775 price target. The analysts cited some "worrying trends in IT back-office employment data that we believe raises the likelihood that NOW gets brought into the at-risk-from-AI tent in the coming quarters."
Chip maker Broadcom climbed 0.8%, and software developer Oracle ticked down 0.2%. Both stocks racked up double-digit losses last week as so-so earnings reports failed to ease investors' concerns that the AI boom could be about to run out of road.
