Philips (NYSE:PHG) ADRs slumped 17% after the Dutch conglomerate posted a third-quarter revenue miss and a revised outlook, primarily due to weaker demand in China.

CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) stock rose 0.1% despite Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) announcing plans to sue the security software company for $500 million in damages caused by massive airline cancellations.

Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) stock rose 2.6% after the trading platform announced the launch of U.S. presidential election event contracts, enabling customers to trade based on their prediction for the tightly contested race.
