Investing.com -- Stocks in focus in premarket trade on Tuesday, April 26th. Please refresh for updates.

  • Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) stock rose 0.2% as investors continue to digest the news that the board of the social messaging service has agreed to Elon Musk’s $44 billion bid to take the company private.

  • PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP) stock fell 0.7% after the soft drinks giant took a $241 million charge in the first quarter related to property, plant and equipment impairment, as well as inventory write-downs due to the Russia-Ukraine crisis. That said, it also raised its full-revenue forecast, aided by higher prices and a rebound in demand at theaters and restaurants.

  • General Electric (NYSE:GE) stock fell 3.3% after the industrial conglomerate forecast its full-year earnings at the lower end of its previous range, citing persistent supply chain disruptions and rising freight and raw material costs.

  • Valero Energy (NYSE:VLO) stock rose 1.6% after the refiner reported a first-quarter profit compared with a year-ago loss, benefiting from a strong refining margin and higher demand for fuel and refined products.

  • Warner Bros Discovery (NASDAQ:WBD) stock rose 1.4% after the media giant’s quarterly revenue rose 13% in the first set of results since the $43 billion merger between Discovery and AT&T’s media assets.

  • Raytheon (NYSE:RTN) stock fell 0.6% after the aerospace and defense firm lowered its full-year revenue forecast, hurt by the cessation of its activities in Russia.

  • Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) stock fell 0.3% after the carrier said it will start paying flight attendants during boarding, instead of when the doors close, a first for a major U.S. airline.

  • Redfin (NASDAQ:RDFN) stock fell 6.6% after Piper Sandler downgraded its investment stance on the real estate brokerage to ‘underweight’ from ‘overweight’, citing a challenging housing market with rising mortgage rates.
