After Hours
After-hours and pre-market trading may carry slightly higher risks than regular market hours. As issuers often announce important financial information outside regular trading hours, extended-hours trading may result in wider spreads for a particular security. That is because extended-hours trading may result in lower liquidity and higher volatility. Most recently, Yahoo Finance reported about the stock as it publicized that Ross Stores Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2023 Earnings Release and Conference Call.
