Newsmax Surges; Ruling Sinks J&J; Live Nation Down on Trump Order

On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Newsmax (NMAX) shares popped after opening 40% above their initial public offering price of $10 apiece, before triggering a halt for volatility. The cable news network raised $75 million from the sale of 7.5 million shares, according to a statement Mar. 28, and its IPO has given founder and CEO Christopher Ruddy a fortune of about $3.3 billion after its shares surged 735%.
- Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) is falling after a federal judge rejected the health-care products maker’s third attempt to use bankruptcy of one of its small units to end baby powder cancer claims. Analysts said that this added to the overhang on the shares given the uncertainty over how it will deal with the claims.
- Live Nation (LYV) shares are down after President Trump signed an executive order cracking down on ticket scalping and fees that drive up the costs of attending live events for consumers. The order directs the Federal Trade Commission and other agencies to ensure competition laws are enforced, promote price transparency, and prevent ticket resellers from gouging consumers.
- Microvast Holdings (MVST) jumped as much as 56% in US premarket trading after the lithium-ion battery maker reported 2024 revenue that beat its guidance thanks to growing demand for its technology.
