Ligand Pharmaceuticals (LGND) is trading at $286.55 after hours, up $2.08 (0.73%) from its regular-session close of $284.47.
LGND is up 0.73% in after-hours trading. Moves in this session almost always follow something released after the 4:00 PM ET close — an earnings report, guidance, a filing, or news — and trade on far thinner volume than the regular session, so the size of the move can overstate what the market will settle on at the next open.
After-hours trading in LGND on the NASDAQ runs from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM ET on trading days, immediately after the regular session closes. Not every broker offers the full window, and liquidity thins sharply after about 6:30 PM ET.
LGND is expected to report earnings around Nov 5, 2026 before the open (estimated), with an estimated EPS of $2.30. Earnings are the most common cause of a large after-hours move, since most companies report after the close.
