Extended hours trading allows investors to buy and sell stocks outside regular exchange trading hours - typically during pre-market (4:00–9:30 am ET) and after-hours (4:00–8:00 pm ET) sessions. While liquidity is lower and spreads wider, this feature enables investors to react to earnings announcements and major news events before the regular session opens.
