Stock futures were sliding Friday with Wall Street at the mercy of the Iran war and oil prices.
These stocks were making moves in premarket trading:
Super Micro Computer plummeted 23% after the U.S. government charged a co-founder of the company and two other individuals with involvement in a plan to divert U.S.-assembled servers to China in a violation of export-control laws. The three individuals aimed to sell billions of dollars' worth of artificial-intelligence-powered servers containing restricted Nvidia chips to China, according to an indictment unsealed on Thursday. The company wasn't named in the suit or as a defendant.
FedEx rose 9.2% after the transportation and logistics company beat analysts' targets for its fiscal third-quarter earnings and revenue. FedEx also raised its fiscal-year guidance.
XPeng shares traded in the U.S. rose 0.2% after the Chinese electric-vehicle maker reported its first ever quarterly net profit and stronger-than-expected sales for the fourth quarter.
McCormick dipped 0.2% after Unilever confirmed it had received an inbound offer for its foods business from the spice and seasoning maker. The two companies are in discussions but there can be no certainty that any transaction will be agreed, Unilever added.
Firefly Aerospace jumped 6.4% after the launch services and spacecraft technology company reported fourth-quarter sales that topped the Wall Street consensus, overshadowing a wider-than-expected loss.
Planet Labs rallied 14% after the Earth imaging company beat analysts' fourth-quarter earnings and sales estimates.
York Space Systems gained 9.6% after the satellite technology company reported a narrower-than-expected loss for the fourth quarter.
