• From news to the move: the first trade 20% above the previous close came less than a minute after the latest news item before it (PRNewsWire, 6:30 a.m.).
• Volume, from the one-minute bars: 29.43 million shares before the 9:30 a.m. open (61%), 6.34 million in the first 30 minutes (13%), and 12.44 million in the rest of the day to 8 p.m. (26%).
• Float rotation, the volume since 4 a.m. against the float of 1.60 million shares: past it once at 6:34 a.m., twice at 6:38 a.m., three times at 6:42 a.m.
• Other days AEMD met the small-cap rule in our recaps: 2, the latest on August 28, 2026.

On the day's lists: the pre-market gappers, gainers, intraday runners. It is here because it met the small-cap rule on the pre-market gappers: price $2 to $20, up 10% or more, relative volume 5× or more, float under 20 million shares, its high reached $1 or more and it started the day at $20 or under (the rule every page uses).
