Stocks That Could Go Up on Tuesday, October 27, 2026

Target: the expected rise from the open to the day’s high; confidence: the chance we gave it of getting there. “To the high” and “to the close” are counted from the 9:30 AM opening price.

1. 1

   Celestica (CLS)

   Information technology · +15.5% pre-market to $284.90 (Monday close $246.65)

   ▲ +3% target

   55% confidence

   EarningsCelestica beats Q3 estimates, raises 2026 guidance and guides to $40 billion of 2027 revenue — TradingKey

   Third-quarter revenue rose 83% to $5.83 billion against about $5.44 billion expected, and adjusted EPS of $3.30 beat $2.99. Celestica raised 2026 guidance to $21.0 billion revenue and $11.55 EPS and gave a first 2027 outlook of $40.0 billion revenue (+90%) and $21.50 EPS, a step-change that can keep AI-hardware buyers coming after the open. The stock had fallen 5.1% on Monday, so part of the gap recovers lost ground.

   Risk: Up about 15% before the open, the stock can give back part of the gap in the first hour even on strong news.

2. 2

   Johnson Controls (JCI)

   Industrials · About +2% pre-market (Monday close $147.50)

   ▲ +1.5% target

   58% confidence

   GuidanceJohnson Controls reports Q4 FY26 results and initiates FY27 guidance of $6.15–$6.30 adjusted EPS — Johnson Controls (SEC filing)

   Fiscal fourth-quarter adjusted EPS of $1.66 beat about $1.58 expected on sales up 10% to $7.1 billion (12% organic). Orders rose 44% organically and backlog reached $23.0 billion (+43%), and the first fiscal 2027 guide of $6.15–$6.30 EPS with 11–12% organic growth sits above consensus, which supports a steady climb rather than a fade.

   Risk: A modest 2% gap leaves room to rise, but a weak market after the 10:00 AM data could cap the move.

   From $153.61 at 9:30 AM:high +1.88% at 9:56 AMclose +1.48%day +5.68%✓ Reached +1.5%
3. 3

   United Parcel Service (UPS)

   Industrials · +1.6% pre-market

   ▲ +1.5% target

   56% confidence

   EarningsUPS beats quarterly expectations, raises full-year guidance again — CNBC

   UPS beat third-quarter expectations and lifted its full-year revenue outlook to about $92.6 billion from $91.2 billion, its second raise in a row. A beat-and-raise from a heavily owned industrial with a small 1.6% gap tends to draw buying through the morning.

   Risk: Investors may question the durability of volumes and margins on the call, which could stall the stock near the open.

   From $101.54 at 9:30 AM:high +4.97% at 3:58 PMclose +4.48%day +5.75%✓ Reached +1.5%
4. 4

   SoFi Technologies (SOFI)

   Financials · About +12% pre-market to $16.14 (Monday close $14.46)

   ▲ +3% target

   52% confidence

   EarningsSoFi beats Q3 estimates, raises 2026 guidance to $5.04 billion and gives 2027 outlook above forecasts — SoFi Technologies (SEC filing)

   Adjusted net revenue rose 44% to $1.4 billion against $1.25 billion expected, and adjusted EPS of $0.18 beat $0.16. SoFi raised 2026 adjusted net revenue guidance to $5.04 billion and set 2027 targets of about $6.4 billion revenue and $0.90 EPS, both above analyst models, and the stock's heavy retail volume can extend the move.

   Risk: The pre-market gain comes from a single report and stocks up 10%+ before the open often fade part of it.

   From $15.98 at 9:30 AM:high +4.88% at 12:09 PMclose +2.63%day +13.42%✓ Reached +3%
5. 5

   Cadence Design Systems (CDNS)

   Information technology · +2.6% after hours to $330.55

   ▲ +1.5% target

   54% confidence

   EarningsCadence tops Q3 estimates, lifts 2026 outlook and adds $2.5 billion buyback — Investing.com

   Adjusted EPS of $2.11 beat $2.04 and revenue of $1.63 billion (+22%) beat $1.61 billion. Cadence raised 2026 EPS guidance to $8.37–$8.43 against $8.15 consensus, reported a record $8.2 billion backlog and added $2.5 billion of buybacks, while the stock sat about 21% below its 52-week high.

   Risk: The after-hours gain is small and could fade if chip-design stocks lose the AI bid seen on Monday.

   Corning (GLW)

   Information technology · Nearly +3% pre-market

   ▲ +1.5% target

   53% confidence

   EarningsCorning beats Q3 estimates with 91 cents EPS on $5.08 billion revenue — CNBC

   Corning earned 91 cents a share excluding items on $5.08 billion of revenue, against 88 cents and $5.02 billion expected. Its optical-fiber business sells into AI data centers, a theme lifted this week by Anthropic's IPO filing.

   Risk: The beat is modest, so the stock may drift once the opening buying is done.

   From $128.11 at 9:30 AM:high +0.29% at 9:30 AMclose −1.41%day −1.13%✗ Missed +1.5%
7. 7

   Broadcom (AVGO)

   Information technology · +1.4% pre-market (5:30 AM ET)

   ▲ +1.5% target

   50% confidence

   DealBank of America, Blackstone, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley line up about $63 billion of financing for Broadcom hardware for Anthropic — Stocktwits

   A bank and Blackstone consortium is arranging roughly $60 billion or more of debt to fund Broadcom-built chips leased to Anthropic, adding visibility to Broadcom's AI revenue a day after Anthropic's IPO filing lifted AI stocks. Nasdaq-100 futures leading at +0.4% favor large AI chip names into the open.

   Risk: Reports differ on whether the financing is final, and a pullback in megacap tech before Wednesday's Fed decision and Alphabet and Microsoft results could stall the stock.

7. Today's Premarket Stock Movers — StockAnalysis

• Every trading day at 9:00 AM ET, before the 9:30 AM open, we read last night’s and the morning’s company news — earnings and guidance, analyst upgrades, deals and contracts, product and regulatory news, index changes — and pick the 6–10 liquid US stocks most likely to rise that day.
• Each pick gets a target (the expected rise from the open to the day’s high) and a confidence (the chance of getting there), and we weigh the size of the surprise, the pre-market move and the market’s mood. Stocks under $5, thinly traded ones, and targets of cash takeovers are left out.
• Each list is measured from the moment it could be acted on: the 9:30 AM opening price, or the minute it went public if that was later. “To the high” is the rise from there to the session’s highest price; “to the close”, to the closing price. A pick reaches its target when its rise to the high is at least the target.
• The S&P 500 ETF (SPY) over the same minutes is shown as the bar to beat. Results are live while the market trades and final after the close; every past list stays online with its results.
