Take a look at some of the biggest movers in the premarket:
GameStop (GME) – GameStop remains on watch after another Reddit-fueled surge Wednesday in the video game retailer's shares, as well as other so-called "Reddit stocks" like BlackBerry (BB), AMC Entertainment (AMC) and Koss Corp.

Best Buy (BBY) – The electronics retailer's shares fell 5.3% in premarket trading after its revenue and comparable-store sales missed Wall Street forecasts for the holiday quarter as pandemic fueled demand for electronics lessened. Best Buy's quarterly earnings of $3.48 per share beat estimates by 3 cents a share, however.
Moderna (MRNA) – The drugmaker's shares rose 2.9% in premarket action as its quarterly revenue vastly exceeded estimates and it forecast $18.4 billion in Covid-19 vaccine sales this year.
