Lyft — The ride-sharing app’s stock added 1.5% following an upgrade to overweight from sector weight by KeyBanc. The firm said cost-saving strategies like layoffs and stabilizing demand could help the stock.

Paccar — Shares of Paccar rose 7% after the truck manufacturer reported fourth-quarter results, posting a profit of $2.64 per share and $8.13 billion in revenue.
