Investing.com -- Swvl Holdings Corp (NASDAQ:SWVL) stock surged 37% in Monday premarket trading after the mass mobility solutions provider announced a new five-year contract worth up to $5.5 million in the United Arab Emirates.

The contract strengthens Swvl’s position in one of its fastest-growing markets, where the company reported approximately 5x growth in December 2025 compared to January 2025. This expansion has been driven by the company’s focus on enterprise partnerships, multi-site deployments, and increased demand for data-driven workforce mobility solutions.

"The UAE has emerged as one of Swvl’s most important and fastest-growing markets globally," said Mostafa Kandil, Chief Executive Officer at Swvl. "Securing a $5.5 million multi-year contract reflects both the scale of demand we are seeing and the confidence enterprises place in Swvl’s ability to deliver reliable, efficient, and technology-led transportation at scale."

The new agreement aligns with Swvl’s strategy of prioritizing long-term, high-value enterprise contracts that provide comprehensive transportation solutions across complex operations with multiple shifts and large employee populations.

Swvl plans to implement its full technology and operations stack for this deployment, offering optimized routing, improved fleet utilization, and real-time performance visibility to the client.

The company has been expanding its presence in the Gulf Cooperation Council region, targeting sectors including logistics, manufacturing, education, and large corporate campuses that require sophisticated mass transportation solutions.

Investing.com -- Polestar Automotive Holding UK Plc A (NASDAQ:PSNY) stock rose 4.1% in premarket trading Monday following the announcement of a $400 million equity investment from two major financial institutions.

The Swedish electric vehicle manufacturer secured the funding from Feathertop Funding Limited, a special purpose vehicle consolidated to Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited, with each institution contributing $200 million. The transaction is expected to close by February 5, 2026, with no regulatory approvals required.

Under the agreement, both financial institutions have entered into put option arrangements with a Geely Sweden Holdings AB subsidiary, providing them with a potential exit path in three years with certain returns. The terms mirror Polestar’s previous equity financing arrangements announced in December 2025.

The investment price was set at $19.34 per Class A ADS, matching the December equity financing price. Following the transaction’s completion, neither financial institution will own more than 10% of Polestar’s outstanding equity, and they face no restrictions on selling their acquired shares beyond applicable securities laws.

"Following the new equity financing and the funding announcements in December, and with the support of Geely Holding, we continue to make progress on enhancing our liquidity position and strengthening our balance sheet," said Michael Lohscheller, Polestar CEO. "With a record year of retail sales behind us, we are fully focused on creating a stronger Polestar."

BofA Securities acted as Polestar’s exclusive financial advisor for the transaction.

Investing.com --BTIG upgraded McDonald’s to Buy from Neutral, saying changes to the company’s value strategy are driving steadier traffic growth and setting up a stronger sales and earnings recovery. Shares of the company are up 1.12% in Monday premarket trading.  

The firm said recent conversations with franchisees point to consistent gains in guest counts after McDonald’s increased discounts on Extra Value Meals and expanded $5 and $8 meal bundles.

Such moves are changing consumer perception back toward value leadership, following two years of pressure on traffic.

Fourth-quarter trends were strong, though January sales were disrupted by severe winter weather in parts of the U.S.

Snow and ice storms forced some restaurants to close early or shut for several days, weighing on same-store sales and traffic by several hundred basis points. BTIG said the underlying demand trend remained healthy and expects sales to recover as weather normalizes.

Macro tailwinds should also support demand, especially among lower-income consumers. Expectations for larger tax refunds in 2026 and reduced taxes on tips and overtime, should benefit quick-service restaurants that skew toward that customer base. BTIG analysts expect those factors to begin supporting comparable sales from February.

New product launches are potential catalysts, says BTIG. Franchisees indicated strong results from CosMc’s beverage tests in Denver and the upper Midwest, with a national rollout expected in the first half of 2026.

BTIG said the beverage platform could become a mid-single-digit same-store sales driver and improve margins. The firm also said McDonald’s is preparing to launch the Big Arch burger, a premium product previously tested internationally, in the U.S. as early as March.

BTIG said the combination of stronger traffic, a clearer value message and new menu platforms could deliver McDonald’s most meaningful earnings growth since 2023. It set a $360 price target, reflecting confidence in improving fundamentals despite recent volatility.
