Mobileye Stock Pre-Market (-5.4%): Wolfe Research Downgrade to ‘Peer Perform’
MBLY shares are under pressure, dropping -5.4% in the pre-market session. The trigger is a direct downgrade from Wolfe Research to ‘Peer Perform’ just ahead of the company’s earnings release. With sentiment clearly negative, will this analyst call dictate the day’s entire narrative?
This downgrade is a structural catalyst, not just noise. Coming just ten days before the Q4 earnings report, it suggests Wolfe Research has concerns about the upcoming print or 2026 guidance.
- Suggests potential for slowing revenue or margin compression in the core ADAS market.
- Follows recent price target cuts from Morgan Stanley and UBS, signaling a broader analyst cooldown.
- The timing is critical, creating significant uncertainty heading into a major corporate event.
But here is the interesting part. You are reading about this -5.4% move after it happened. The market has already priced in the news. To avoid the next loser before the headlines, you need predictive signals, not notifications. High Quality Portfolio has a risk model designed to reduce exposure to losers.

The session hinges on whether the market views this as a pre-earnings jitters or a credible warning. We plan for two distinct outcomes, avoiding a directional guess.
- Pivot level $11.50: Reclaiming it challenges bearish view, rejection confirms downtrend.
- Target $10.00: Recent lows, potential next support if downtrend confirmed.
- Prior day’s low: Break above could signal short-term reversal/dip-buying.
Verdict
FADE THE GAP if MBLY fails to reclaim $11.50 within the first 30 minutes, confirming sellers are in control and targeting $10.00. Conversely, a strong hold above $11.50 would challenge the bearish thesis.
