NeOnc Technologies Holdings is trading 8.64% up in pre-market at $2.89 versus the October 14 close of $2.66; the immediate driver is unclear. - The company announced Ali Alabedin’s board appointment on October 14, effective October 9; coverage did not establish it as the reason for the gain. - Broader markets are under pressure after hotter-than-forecast U.S. inflation, but that does not explain the stock’s rise.
