Here’s a look at the top-moving stocks this morning.

Spirit Airlines (NYSE: SAVE)

Spirit Airlines is down 12.63% premarket due to a federal judge blocking JetBlue Airways’ proposed $3.8 billion takeover of the airline. The judge’s ruling stated that the elimination of Spirit Airlines would harm cost-conscious travelers who rely on Spirit’s low fares. This decision is seen as a significant win for the Biden administration, which had sued to prevent the merger, arguing it would boost ticket prices for the most budget-conscious consumers.

Natera (Nasdaq: NTRA)

Natera is up 9.54% premarket after spending less on a settlement than expected in a patent infringement lawsuit. A jury in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas reached a verdict regarding a lawsuit brought by Ravgen, Inc. against Natera. The jury awarded $57 million in damages to Ravgen, which is significantly less than the $410 million Ravgen was seeking. Additionally, the jury determined there was no willful infringement by Natera.

NIO (NYSE: NIO)

Nio is down 5.19% premarket due to a combination of factors affecting the electric vehicle industry. Tesla recently announced price cuts to its Model 3, which is putting pressure on competitors like NIO to either match or offer value propositions to maintain their market share. NIO also has a high cash burn rate due to heavy investments in research and development.

Alibaba (NYSE: BABA)

Alibaba is down 2.88% in premarket trading after reports of a weakening Chinese Economy. China’a Premier Li Qiang reported 2023 gross domestic product growth at around 5.2% at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
