Here’s a look at the biggest gainers in premarket trading: KeyCorp – The Cleveland-based regional bank’s shares jumped 18 per cent after announcing it received a minority investment from Bank of Nova Scotia. The transaction gave Scotiabank 14.9% of KeyCorp’s common stock and approximately $2.8 billion in cash. Starbucks — Shares of the coffee chain rose 2.2% after activist investor Starboard Value took a stake in Starbucks to boost its stock price, according to a Wall Street Journal report. Eli Lilly — The stock rose 1.4% after Deutsche Bank upgraded the stock to hold and buy. The bank cited Eli Lilly’s recent earnings performance and called the stock a “low beta/high growth” unicorn.

Robinhood – Shares of the online brokerage rose more than 1% after Piper Sandler upgraded the stock to overweight from neutral.
