– Goldman Sachs downgraded the defense contractor from neutral to sell and lowered its target price by $56 to $332. The Wall Street firm said the company is vulnerable to any changes in government budgets. Lockheed Martin shares fell more than 3 percent at the premarket.
Virginc Galacti Holdings.
– The space tourism company rose nearly 16% after it said it is preparing for a commercial launch in the second quarter of 2023.
Wells Fargo Co.

American Airlines.
– The airline lost about 2 percent the day after a nearly 10 percent rise in earnings at the premarket.
Tesla
