XLC is trading 3.01% up in pre-market at $115.81 after closing at $112.42 on September 2, 2026; no clear company-specific catalyst was identified for the pre-market jump.

  • Ciena is scheduled to report fiscal Q3 results before the September 3 open, while J.P. Morgan highlighted AT&T as a September telecom pick; neither directly explains XLC’s move.
  • Broader futures are only modestly higher, so the catalyst remains unclear.
