Stock futures were sliding on Friday as investors waited for the February jobs report.
These stocks were making moves in premarket trading:
Marvell Technology jumped 11% after the chip maker beat analysts' fourth-quarter earnings estimates and issued solid guidance, citing robust artificial-intelligence demand.
Gap dropped 6.2% after the clothing retailer missed Wall Street's fourth-quarter earnings target and reported weaker sales for its struggling Athleta women's activewear brand.
Costco Wholesale slipped 0.2% after the retailer's fiscal second-quarter earnings beat failed to extend a recent rally. Shares were already up 14% in 2026 through Thursday's close.
Guidewire Software climbed 3.5% after the software company raised its full-year revenue guidance following better-than-expected results for the second quarter.
Cooper Companies was the S&P 500's worst performer ahead of the opening bell, sliding 3.7% even though the medical device maker posted an earnings beat for the fiscal first quarter and hiked its guidance.
Nutex Health slumped 28% after the healthcare facilities operator said it took a $55 million charge related to arbitration claims, which dragged down its fourth-quarter profit.
Samsara rose 11.4% after the developer of internet-connected sensor systems beat analysts' fourth-quarter profit target and issued strong guidance for the current fiscal year.
Algonquin Power & Utilities and Embraer are set to report earnings on Friday.
