What happened
A quiet open
GXAI's official prior close was $0.8855. Only 1,406 shares traded before the bell. It opened at $0.8736 and was at $0.88 by 9:40.
Stop It's 9:40. GXAI is at $0.88, a little above the $0.8736 open, on thin volume. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 9:37 a.m. and stop at 9:40 a.m. ET for your call.
That minute closed at $0.898, the high of the regular session. It did not hold. By 10:01 it was back at $0.8729.
Flat until the bell
The rest of the session went nowhere. It sat mostly between $0.86 and $0.89. It closed near $0.87 on 46K shares for the whole session.
The 4:10 headline
After the close, the news landed. At 4:10 p.m. the company reported record second-quarter revenue, up 1,337% year over year. That minute ran from $0.8979 to $1.10 on 60K shares, more than the whole session.
It climbed in steps and hit $1.58 in the 5:15 p.m. minute, the high of the day. The last bar closed at $1.45. After hours, 16M shares traded, more than the 10.5M float.
What to take from it: Here the regular session said nothing; the whole move came after the bell, on the headline.
