US Stocks — Live Prices, Pre-Market & After-Hours Times
Individual equities offer direct exposure to a company's earnings, guidance and growth story. The mega-cap technology names below — spanning chips, software, e-commerce and electric vehicles — carry the heaviest weight in US benchmarks and frequently set the tone for the broader market. Live prices, daily change and intraday trend are shown below, and the session table sets out when the pre-market, regular and after-hours windows open and close.

The Trend column shows an indicative trend line that updates as live prices stream in. It is not a chart of real intraday price history.
US Pre-Market and After-Hours Trading Sessions
US shares trade in three consecutive windows on a normal weekday. Eastern time is the clock exchanges, brokers and earnings releases all quote, so it is the reference column here; the UTC equivalents shift by an hour when US clocks change on the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in November.
Both extended windows are far thinner than the regular session. Fewer participants are quoting, so spreads widen, order books are shallower and a modest order can move a price further than the same order would at midday — which is why an extended-hours print sometimes fails to hold once the regular session opens and full liquidity returns.
The main reason those windows matter is timing: companies deliberately publish quarterly results outside regular hours so the market has time to digest them, which puts the first reaction to an earnings report into after-hours or the following pre-market rather than into the session that produced the closing price. Scheduled US macro releases are also timed ahead of the opening bell, so they land inside the pre-market window — you can check what is due on the economic calendar.
The table at the top of this page shows regular-session prices — it does not carry pre-market or after-hours quotes. Access to either window, and how much of it you get, depends on your broker and your account type, so check your own broker's trading hours rather than assuming the full window is available.

Frequently asked questions
What stocks does this page track?
This page follows some of the most actively traded US companies, led by the mega-cap technology names that carry the heaviest weight in the main US benchmarks — spanning chips, software, e-commerce and electric vehicles. Because these companies are so large, their moves often set the tone for the broader market and feed straight into the world indices.
What makes a stock a top mover?
A stock is highlighted as a top mover when it shows one of the largest percentage gains or declines among the companies tracked here. Big single-day moves often cluster around quarterly earnings, major product news or company-specific headlines. Because the list ranks by percentage change, a mover can be any of the names on the page.
Are these stock prices live or delayed?
It depends on the exchange and the upstream feed. Stock quotes come from Yahoo Finance and may be live or delayed, and each table shows a "Live" or "Delayed" pill so you always know which you are looking at. If the feed is temporarily unreachable the page shows last-known prices rather than breaking. Figures are for information and education only, not for order execution.
When are US stocks tradable?
US stocks trade during their primary exchange hours on weekdays, with additional pre-market and after-hours sessions where liquidity is typically thinner. Volatility tends to pick up around the open, the close and scheduled company events such as earnings. Outside regular hours, prices can move on news even when most participants are not active.
