Pre-Market Consumer Discretionary Stocks: Gainers and Losers

Genius Group's stock increased by 13.7% to $1.12 in Monday's pre-market session, while Purple Innovation's stock rose by 10.45% to $0.78. Losers included Emerson Radio, which declined by 39.7% to $0.23, and Dogness (Intl), which fell by 5.23% to $27.05.

Genius Group (NYSE American: GNS) saw its stock rise by 13.7% to $1.12 in Monday's pre-market session, with CEO Roger Hamilton increasing his stake by 10% through a significant purchase. Hamilton bought 650,000 shares at an average price of $0.54 per share on June 23-24, 2025 [1]. This purchase, along with Hamilton's previous financial commitments, signals strong confidence in the company's future prospects.

The purchase follows a series of investments by Hamilton, including a $2.1 million interest-free loan in 2023, a $1.0 million equity purchase in January 2024, and two separate purchases of 500,000 shares each in October 2024 and January 2025. The company's recent shareholder approval for up to a 20% share buyback also suggests a coordinated strategy to address undervaluation [1].

Genius Group operates as an AI-powered education group with a Bitcoin-first treasury, which merges high-growth potential areas. Hamilton's aggressive personal financial commitment, despite the current low share price, indicates he sees substantial upside potential in this hybrid business model.
