Block will be included in the S&P 500, effective prior to the opening of trading on Wednesday. The parent company of Square and Cash App will replace Hess, which was acquired by Chevron in a deal that closed Friday. The stock rose 9.2%, to $79.54, after the market closed Friday.

Barnes & Noble Education delayed the filing of its annual report because of an issue with recording the cost of digital sales that it first learned about earlier this month. Shares fell 4.7%, to $10.70, in after-hours trading.

HCW Biologics agreed to extend the due date of a $7 million license fee from WY Biotech to Sept. 30. The company previously said it would recognize the upfront revenue in the second quarter. The stock jumped 16%, to $5.22 after hours.
