Moderna — The biotech company’s stock fell 2% in extended trading after Moderna announced that it is proposing a public offering of $1.25 billion in shares of common stock. The company’s stock soared nearly 20% and hit a 52-week high earlier on Monday after Moderna announced that its potential Covid-19 vaccine produced coronavirus antibodies in all 45 participants in an early-stage human trial.

Baidu — The Chinese technology company’s stock rose 8% in extended trading after Baidu released its first-quarter earnings. The company said it had earnings of $8.84 per share on revenue of $22.55 billion, exceeding Wall Street’s expectations.

Disney — Shares of the entertainment giant dropped 1% in extended trading after key announcements were made regarding the company’s leadership. Social media platform TikTok announced that Kevin Mayer, Disney’s head of streaming, will become its new CEO as well as chief operating officer of ByteDance, the Chinese company that owns TikTok. Mayer was considered to be a prime candidate to replace former Disney CEO Bob Iger, but the position ultimately went to Bob Chapek.

T-Mobile’s stock previously hit a 52-week high on Monday.
