The artificial-intelligence trade was mounting a comeback on Thursday, as investors got over the worst of their fears about the flare-up in tensions between the U.S. and Iran.

Futures tracking the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 were 0.6% higher. Wall Street believes it’s still in both sides’ best interest to agree to a truce, even after President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the cease-fire was “over.”

Some of 2026’s best performers were benefiting from the improvement in sentiment. Glassmaker Corning jumped 5.9% ahead of the opening bell. Chip manufacturer Intel added 4% and chips-and-networking company Marvell rose 4.5%. Memory-chip maker Micron gained 4.1%, and flash-memory product supplier Sandisk climbed 2.3%.

Broadcom was up 1.3%, having surged 4.8% the previous session after Apple said it plans to invest more than $30 billion in an extended partnership with the chip maker.

These stocks were also making moves in premarket trading:

AstraZeneca slumped 7.2% after the British pharma company said that the trial for its Wainua drug on a rare type of heart disease didn’t meet the primary efficacy endpoint.

Levi Strauss dropped 6% after the jeans designer beat analysts’ second-quarter earnings target. The company also raised its full-year outlook, although by less than Wall Street was expecting.

Salesforce slid 2.6% after KeyBanc analyst Jackson Ader downgraded the software developer to Sector Weight from Overweight, citing a lack of evidence that the Agentforce AI platform will offer future upside.
