# QuidelOrtho, MIND Technology, Southern First Bancshares And Other Big Stocks Moving Lower In Thursday's Pre-Market Session

U.S. stock futures were higher this morning, with the Dow futures gaining around 0.1% on Thursday.

Shares of **QuidelOrtho Corporation** (NASDAQ:QDEL) fell sharply in pre-market trading following the release of its preliminary first-quarter 2026 revenue figures.

The diagnostic healthcare products maker reported preliminary unaudited revenue in the range of $615 million to $620 million for the first quarter ended March 29.

The results reflect a weaker respiratory season, with U.S. Influenza-like Illness visits down about 30% compared to the prior-year period, along with slower China distributor sales and delays in certain EMEA orders, the company said.

QuidelOrtho shares dipped 19.4% to $14.09 in pre-market trading.
