WWG Stock Hunter — October 26, 2026 — Premarket Scan

MONDAY OCTOBER 26, 2026 — PREMARKET SCAN | Eastern research snapshot approximately 7:30 AM EDT; regular U.S. market opens 9:30 AM ET. Broad premarket ETF indications: SPY +0.04%, QQQ -0.11%, DIA +0.34%, IWM +0.11%. Snapshots asynchronous, not executable quotes. Cross-sector news, earnings, premarket movers, SEC/clinical releases triaged across an approximately 80-name liquid mid/large-cap U.S. watch universe; five finalists deeply verified. NOT a full per-name 80-stock options-chain/SEC/technical audit. Reliable premarket volume for all five unavailable; only RRC screen volume 25,117 at time of screen. Opening VWAP unavailable before regular session.

RANK 1 — VZ — WATCH (bullish investigation, NOT entry). Oct 26 7 AM Q3 release: 406,000 postpaid phone net additions versus ~209,439 Visible Alpha estimate; adjusted EPS $1.31, revenue $34.3B below $34.74B LSEG estimate; raises full-year adjusted EPS outlook to $5.04-$5.06 and phone additions to 1.1M-1.2M. Signed more than $2B high-capacity fiber connectivity agreement with AWS for AI workloads. Source verification: Reuters Oct26 7:03 AM ET, Wall Street Journal, Verizon official earnings calendar. StockAnalysis snapshot 7:24 AM ET: $44.74 (+0.18%) versus Friday close $44.66; Reuters reported +2.4% at a different time/provider. Conflicting asynchronous indications: do NOT infer synchronized move. Friday high $45.08 low $43.43; Oct23 vendor SMA20 $44.25, SMA50 $44.46, SMA200 $45.85, RSI14 53.12. Support $44.46/$44.25 then $43.43; resistance $45.08 then $45.85. Bull: subscribers, higher guidance, signed AI fiber deal. Bear: revenue miss, wireless competition and faded gap. Kill switch: sustained VWAP rejection and opening-range low break. Listed options active; check strike-specific bid/ask, open interest, volume and IV before considering.

RANK 2 — RRC — WATCH/WAIT (merger situation, do not chase). EQT agreed to acquire Range Resources in ALL-STOCK 0.987 EQT shares per RRC share; implied $54.91 using EQT Friday close, NOT fixed cash consideration. Reuters/WSJ verify. RRC Friday close $45.52, high $45.74, low $43.40. Premarket mover screen $50.96 +11.95% on 25,117 displayed shares; Reuters reported ~+10.1% at a different observation time. Support: premarket $50.96 then Friday $45.74/$45.52; resistance: implied $54.91 reference moves with EQT, not a guaranteed ceiling or payout. 20/50/200 SMA, RSI and VWAP unverified. Bull: signed deal premium, scale, gas/data-center demand. Bear: EQT price changes, deal/regulatory risk, gap fade. Kill switch: VWAP rejection/opening-range breakdown or deal terms deteriorate. Verify exact options liquidity; all-stock merger may cap independent directional upside.

RANK 3 — SLB — WATCH/WAIT. Oct23 results $9.45B quarterly revenue, adjusted EPS $0.64; Data Center Solutions $230M revenue, +76% year over year. Friday close $53.06, high $53.45 low $49.48, regular volume 19.06M; Oct26 7:19 AM ET premarket $52.41 (-1.23%), reflecting profit-taking/oil weakness. Oct23 daily SMA20 $51.04, SMA50 $49.87, SMA200 $50.25, RSI14 71.66 (extended). Support $51.04 then $49.48; resistance $53.06/$53.45. Bull: strong earnings and AI data-center cooling. Bear: Friday +7.08% run-up, overbought, oil retreat. Kill switch: VWAP rejection and opening-range low loss; no chase. Options active but verify spreads, OI, volume and post-earnings IV.

RANK 4 — MSFT — WATCH/WAIT (upcoming earnings, not fresh results). Fiscal Q1 2027 earnings Wednesday Oct28 after close. Friday close $524.51 high $525.77 low $515.70 volume 13.68M; Oct26 7:14 AM ET premarket $527.29 (+0.53%). Consistent Oct23 technical vendor: SMA50 about $508.43, SMA200 about $436.51, RSI14 ~52.6; separate dated 20-day reference ~ $526.6 (vendor methodologies differ). Support $524.51 then $515.70; resistance $525.77/$530.63. Bull: Azure and AI monetization. Bear: capex, margin and earnings-gap risk. Kill switch: failed VWAP recovery/opening-range-low break. Very liquid options overall; event IV and exact-strike spread must be verified.

RANK 5 — GOOGL — WAIT (oversold research, earnings pending). Alphabet Q3 earnings Wednesday Oct28 after close. Friday close $320.21 high $324.53 low $320.18 volume 17.57M; Oct26 7:08 AM ET premarket $321.13 (+0.29%). Consistent Oct23 vendor SMA20 $343.08, SMA50 $342.94, SMA200 $341.31, RSI14 ~31.3; alternative vendors differ materially. Support $320.18 then ~$318.75 pivot; resistance $324.53 then $341-$343 moving-average zone. Bull: cloud/ads/AI monetization and potential reversal. Bear: downtrend, capex and regulatory/earnings risk. Kill switch: failed VWAP reclaim and loss of $320.18. Options generally liquid; check individual contract IV and spreads.

TOP SETUP TO INVESTIGATE FIRST: VZ. Confirm actual 9:30-9:45 AM opening range; wait for VWAP hold/reclaim, higher low, breakout above opening-range high on expanding volume and supportive telecom breadth. Previous $45.08 high is a reference, not an entry order. Failure of VWAP and opening-range low cancels bullish thesis. Do not treat verified earnings or a signed AWS agreement as an automatic call-buy signal.

LARGE MOVE ALERT (not top-five option candidate): XNCR +30.26% to $32.80 on premarket screen, displayed 122,425 shares. Xencor official Oct25 Phase 1 XmAb819 kidney-cancer dose-selection data (45.5% confirmed response among only 11 evaluable patients at proposed dose; 72.1% Grade >=3 treatment-related AEs across expansion cohorts) independently summarized by StockTitan. NOT FDA approval; planned FDA discussions 2027. Two-source catalyst verification passed (issuer release plus independent clinical-data summary), price source separate. AVOID CHASING; options liquidity not verified. Other >25% foreign ADR/penny movers excluded from U.S. liquid mid/large-cap shortlist; do not assume all large moves screened or verified.

EDUCATIONAL RISK DISCLAIMER: Stock Hunter identifies candidates for research, not guaranteed returns or recommendations to enter. A catalyst is not an entry. Confirm opening VWAP, volume, price action, options liquidity and predefined invalidation. Long options can lose 100% of premium.

YESTERDAY'S AUDIT — last trading session Friday October 23, 2026 (weekend not double counted). Frozen Top Setup: CCI bullish WATCH/WAIT, timestamp approximately 7:33 AM ET. Original trigger: opening range forms, VWAP holds/reclaims, higher low develops, opening-range high breaks on expanding volume. No retroactive rule changes.

CCI Oct23 audited regular-session data: prior close $78.83; official open $91.02; 10:00 AM ET price UNKNOWN; session high $91.45; session low $85.00; close $85.97; volume 17,324,187. Bullish open-to-close directional return -5.55%; open-based maximum favorable excursion +0.47%, maximum adverse excursion -6.61%. These are from OPEN, not verified strategy entry. Opening-range/VWAP trigger occurrence UNKNOWN; full kill-switch occurrence UNKNOWN. Model grade UNDETERMINED / NOT SCORED; not a WIN, LOSS or verified NO-TRADE. Simple directional observation UNFAVORABLE.

RUNNING RECORD — last five distinct frozen directional sessions: INTC, RTX, SMCI, LMT, CCI. Favorable open-to-close 2/5 (40%, SMALL SAMPLE), unfavorable 3/5. Approximate open-based average MFE +2.21%, average MAE -3.19%, computed from reported five sessions; NOT triggered-trade returns. Model strategy triggered entries, wins, losses, verified no-trades, win rate and post-entry MFE/MAE UNKNOWN due missing intraday trigger evidence. Rolling 5/20/30/90-session confirmed-strategy statistics INSUFFICIENT VERIFIED DATA; never infer 40% strategy win rate.

SEPARATE ACTUAL-TRADES LEDGER (PRIVATE): No broker-confirmed fills, exits or realized P&L available for this run. Personal account balances and user-reported trades are intentionally withheld from the public WealthWise Daily article. No unverified screenshot or open unrealized position is counted as a realized strategy win.

MARKET CONTEXT: Brazil-linked ADRs and small-cap speculative biotech names show very large moves; exclude from the core liquid U.S. mid/large-cap options shortlist unless second-source catalyst and option liquidity are verified. Macro watch: Federal Reserve Wednesday policy decision, oil/energy volatility, megacap AI capex earnings. Screening breadth is broad triage, not a full 80-company technical/SEC/options-chain verification.

AI demand connects telecom fiber, cloud infrastructure, power, and natural gas; signed contracts and conditional future revenue are different.

Earnings quality, financing, macro rates and sector breadth must be assessed together, not as isolated headlines.
