US stocks are off to a strong start today, with the S&P 500 index up 0.3% in pre-market trading. Several individual stocks are seeing notable activity, including NVIDIA (NVDA), CRM, BYDDY, AEO, TROW, and SAIC.

NVDA is up 0.1% after Chinese firms showed continued interest in the company’s chips. Despite a muted growth forecast from the company, analysts remain optimistic about the stock’s potential.

On the other hand, CRM is down 7% after topping second-quarter numbers but providing soft guidance. Analysts believe this may indicate slower growth ahead for the company.

BYDDY is down 1.5% after cutting its 2025 sales target by 16%. The company cited challenges in the electric vehicle market as the reason for the reduction.

Meanwhile, AEO is up 26% after reporting strong earnings and revenue. The company’s Sydney Sweeney ads have been credited with driving sales growth.

In other news, GS will be purchasing $1 billion of TROW stock in a private-funds deal. This has led to an 8.5% gain in TROW’s shares.

Finally, SAIC is down 5% after missing top-line expectations and cutting its full-year revenue outlook.

Overall, today’s pre-market activity suggests a mixed bag of performance for US stocks. While some companies are seeing gains, others are struggling to make headway. Investors will be keeping a close eye on these and other stocks as the day progresses.
