U.S. futures fell Thursday, handing back some of the previous session’s strong gains ahead of the release of more important labor data.
Here are some of the biggest premarket U.S. stock movers today:

Clorox (NYSE:CLX) stock fell 3.9% after the maker of cleaning products said it expects to post a first-quarter loss after a cyberattack in August caused product outages and disrupted supplies and operations.
Polestar (NASDAQ:PSNY) stock rose 3.4% after the EV manufacturer announced it delivered 13,000 vehicles in the third quarter, and was on course for 60,000-70,000 for the year.
