Market News:

U.S. stock futures pointed higher on Friday, suggesting an extension to a weeklong rally on Wall Street, as investors cheer growing signs of detente in the Middle East.

On Friday, Ally Financial Inc. (NYSE:ALLY) reported first quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.11, surpassing analyst estimates of $0.94, though revenue of $2.1 billion fell short of the $2.14 billion consensus. The company’s stock rose 2.53% in pre-market trading following the results as investors focused on the stronger-than-expected profitability.

 

 

Shares of Affirm rose 3.5% in premarket trading on Friday after Morgan Stanley elevated the stock to its Top Pick, citing what it called an “overdone” private credit overhang and a strong path for catalysts.

 

 

Here are some of the biggest premarket U.S. stock movers today:

 

Shares of Netflix fell sharply after the streaming giant outlined revenue growth projections that were below expectations and announced that Chairman Reed Hastings would not seek re-election to the firm's board.

 

Aluminum producer Alcoa also dipped on first-quarter profit and revenue which underwhelmed analysts due to higher costs and softer demand.

 

U.S.-listed shares of Sweden’s Autoliv popped after the world’s biggest producer of airbags and seatbelts reported higher-than-anticipated first-quarter returns.

 

Clorox edged lower after analysts at JPMorgan Chase slashed their rating of the group to “underweight” from “neutral” because of high exposure to categories where there is strong competition from private labels.

 

NiSource climbed after the firm unveiled a new long-term energy deal with a subsidiary of Alphabet to support the development of a data center in the U.S. state of Indiana.

 

Onto Innovation jumped after analysts at Stifel upgraded their rating to “buy” from “hold” following the release of preliminary revenue from the semiconductor maker.
