A delayed opening doesn’t mean that the traders and brokers were late to work! The exchange opens on time every day. Simply stated, exchange officials may postpone the beginning of trading in a particular stock because of certain conditions, such as a major influx of buy or sell orders or pending corporate news, that may influence the movement of a stock.
