$DOW Dow (DOW) shares jumped 6.7% in premarket trading Thursday after the chemical giant reported third-quarter results that beat Wall Street’s forecast for an adjusted loss but came in slightly below revenue expectations. $FCX +2.6% in Thursday's trading after reporting better than expected Q3 adjusted earnings and revenues, as higher copper prices offset lower production largely caused by the suspension of operations at the Grasberg mine in Indonesia. $STLD targets a 75% aluminum utilization exit rate for 2026 as Sinton and fabrication operations drive record shipments, following a quarterly beat. $PKG stock plunged 7.5% in extended trading on Wednesday after the company reported third-quarter earnings that fell short of Wall Street expectations, while revenue came in line with estimates.

$PKG Being a long time options floor trader makes me VERY picky on deciphering unusual option activity prior to earnings. Most sites I watch have at most a 20 percent success rate this earnings season. We are 3 for 3. NOK,PEGA,PKG. Thats all
