Lucid Motors — The electric vehicle maker saw shares slide 14% premarket after reporting that fourth-quarter revenue fell short of expectations.

Dollar General — Shares fell about 5% after Dollar General reported preliminary results for its fourth-quarter and fiscal year 2022 that were lower than prior guidance and weaker than consensus expectations from FactSet.

eBay — The online auction platform fell 5% despite posting fourth-quarter earnings and revenue that topped analysts’ estimates as gauged by Refinitiv. Earnings came in at $1.07 per share, but the company issued earnings guidance for the current quarter between $1.05 and $1.09 per share. Wall Street expects $1.06.

Bumble — The online dating site rose 3% after it reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter revenue. Bumble’s total revenue came in at $242 million, topping a Refinitiv forecast of $236 million.

However, the company posted a quarterly loss of 85 cents per share, which included a hefty impairment charge due to shutting down operations in Russia and Belarus.
