• From news to the move: the first trade 20% above the previous close came less than a minute after the latest news item before it (PRNewsWire, 8:00 a.m.).
• Volume, from the one-minute bars: 2.45 million shares before the 9:30 a.m. open (55%), 635,080 in the first 30 minutes (14%), and 1.37 million in the rest of the day to 8 p.m. (31%).
• Other days MOVE met the small-cap rule in our recaps: 1, the latest on August 31, 2026.

On the day's lists: the pre-market gappers, gainers, intraday runners. It is here because it was in play on the intraday runners: up 30% or more on $3 million or more really traded, outside the small-cap rule's price, relative volume or float, its high reached $1 or more and it started the day at $20 or under (the rule every page uses).

The exchange's halt feed shows no halts for MOVE that day.

Halt bands that day: the LULD plan's Amendment 18 rules (what that means, LULD calculator).
