Market News:

By 06:07 ET (10:07 GMT), the Dow futures contract had fallen by 161 points, or 0.3%, S&P 500 futures were flat, and Nasdaq 100 futures had ticked up by 185 points, or 0.7%. The main averages on Wall Street closed lower on Thursday, with sentiment dampened by waning expectations that Washington and Tehran will soon notch an agreement to permanently halt hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway off of Iran’s southern coast which has been all but shuttered for tanker traffic for weeks.

 

 

Flagstar Financial, Inc. (NYSE:FLG) reported first quarter adjusted earnings per share of $0.04, exceeding the analyst estimate of $0.03, though revenue of $498 million fell short of the $552.9 million consensus estimate. The stock of the company declined 3.14% in pre-market trading following the results.

 

 

Apogee Enterprises Inc. (NASDAQ:APOG) reported fourth-quarter results that met earnings expectations while revenue exceeded analyst estimates. The company’s shares edged up1.66% in after-hours trading following the release as investors weighed mixed guidance for fiscal 2027. DraftKings Inc. (NASDAQ:DKNG) shares declined Monday after MoffettNathanson downgraded the stock to Neutral from Buy, alongside a similar downgrade for Flutter Entertainment (NYSE:FLUT). DraftKings fell 1.49%, while Flutter dropped 0.80%. Penn Entertainment (NASDAQ:PENN) declined 1.16%, and Super Group (NYSE:SGHC) rose 0.40%. The downgrades come after both stocks experienced significant declines from their 2024 highs, with further losses recorded in early 2025. The analyst firm acknowledged the timing of the rating changes, noting the stocks had already retreated substantially before the downgrades were issued.

 

 

SLB (NYSE:SLB) reported first-quarter results that met analyst expectations for earnings while revenue slightly exceeded forecasts, though shares fell 2.7% following the release as Middle East disruptions weighed. The oilfield services giant posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.52, matching the analyst consensus, while revenue of $8.72 billion came in above the $8.66 billion estimate and represented a 3% increase from $8.49 billion in the prior-year quarter. However, the revenue growth was primarily driven by the ChampionX acquisition, which contributed $838 million. Excluding this acquisition, revenue declined 7% YoY as widespread disruptions in the Middle East impacted operations across multiple countries.

 

 

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) shares rose 12% Friday, while Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:ARM) gained 8%, following growing anticipation that the artificial intelligence boom for CPUs has arrived. CPUs, or central processing units, serve as the main processors in computers and servers, handling general computing tasks. This contrasts with GPUs, or graphics processing units, which are specialized for parallel processing and have been the primary chips used in AI training. AMD manufactures both CPUs and GPUs for data centers and PCs, while Arm designs CPU architectures that are licensed to chipmakers.

 

 

Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:LLY) shares fell 2% as weekly prescription data showed mixed performance across its GLP-1 portfolio. Mounjaro prescriptions for the week of April 17, 2026 reached approximately 758,400 total prescriptions and 367,900 new prescriptions, compared with 749,500 and 361,700 the prior week, according to IQVIA data cited by Morgan Stanley. Zepbound prescriptions totaled 615,300 and 350,600 for total and new prescriptions respectively, versus 632,500 and 346,400 the previous week.

 

 

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

 

Shares of Intel surged by more than 25% after the chipmaker projected a spike in revenue propelled by artificial intelligence data centers and noted that first-quarter demand from firms providing AI services was so robust it sold ships it had previously written off. Should the current gains hold in regular trading, Intel's stock would notch its highest closing level ever.

 

Intel peers AMD and Arm also climbed on hopes that growth in the use of autonomous AI "agents" could underpin renewed demand for central processing units, a computing brain that has recently taken a backseat to the graphics chips used to train AI models. Nvidia, a giant maker of GPUs, was only marginally higher before the start of trading.

 

U.S.-listed shares of Germany's SAP advanced after the software group posted a 17% jump in first-quarter profit that topped estimates, thanks largely to strength at its cloud division.

 

Analysts at Vital Knowledge said the figures helped to ease some worries around the software industry that arose in the wake of downbeat returns from ServiceNow this week. Shares in ServiceNow were higher by more than 2%.

MaxLinear spiked by 39% after the semiconductor firm offered better-than-expected first-quarter returns and second-quarter projections.

 

Coursera slumped after the online education group reported first-quarter profit that was below Wall Street expectations, as well as underwhelming current-quarter guidance.

 

Comfort Systems USA rose after the HVAC group's first-quarter income topped estimates.
