Travelers (TRV) – The insurance company reported a quarterly profit of $5.20 per share, well above the $3.86 consensus estimate, with revenue also beating analyst forecasts. Travelers benefited from stronger results in investment income and underwriting, and its stock added 2.5% in the premarket.

American Airlines (AAL) – American gained 1.3% in premarket trading after it reported a quarterly loss of $1.42 per share, 6 cents narrower than anticipated. The airline also reported better-than-expected revenue as American's results were helped by strong holiday demand.

Revenue topped forecasts, and United said the spread of the omicron Covid-19 variant hurt short-term bookings, yet it expects that negative impact to be temporary. United fell 1.4% in premarket trading.

Ford (F) – Ford lost 2% in the premarket after Jefferies downgraded the automaker's stock to «hold» from «buy.» Jefferies said the optimism over Ford's electric vehicle plans drove the stock higher than was justified and left very little potential upside.
