Dow Jones
Sep 19

Stock futures were mixed Friday after the three main U.S. blue chip indexes all hit record highs in the previous session. Investors will be tuned to developments in U.S.-China trade talks and an expected phone call between President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.

These stocks were poised to make moves Friday:

Intel was falling 2.9% in premarket trading after rising 23% on Thursday to $30.57, a 52-week high, following Nvidia's purchase of $5 billion in the chip maker's stock. Intel's gain Thursday was its largest percentage increase since Oct. 29, 1987, when it rose more than 26%, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

Nvidia declined 0.4%. It closed up 3.5% on Thursday at $176.24 and snapped a three-session losing streak. Shares of the leading maker of artificial-intelligence chips have risen 31% this year.

Micron Technology was down 0.7% ahead of the start of trading on Wall Street after the memory chip maker rose 5.6% on Thursday and set a record high of $168.89. Micron extended its winning streak to 12 consecutive sessions, its longest streak on record, according to Dow Jones Market Data. Micron has gained 43% over the span.

FedEx jumped 5% after the logistics giant reported fiscal first-quarter adjusted earnings of $3.83 a share, topping analysts' estimates of $3.62, while revenue of $22.2 billion also beat Wall Street forecasts. Domestic package volumes rose 5%, FedEx said, while domestic package revenue grew 8% from a year earlier. The company said it expects fiscal 2026 revenue growth of between 4% and 6% versus analysts' estimates of 1%, and adjusted earnings of between $17.20 and $19 a share, compared with Wall Street projections of $18.36. Shares of rival $United Parcel Service(UPS)$ rose 1.4% in premarket trading.

Home builder Lennar was down 2.9% in premarket trading after posting fiscal third-quarter earnings that missed analysts' forecasts. Lennar earned $2.29 a share in the period, or $2 excluding mark-to-market gains on technology investments, on revenue of $8.8 billion. Analysts had expected earnings of $2.10 on revenue of just under $9 billion. Lennar's gross margin, a closely watched metric at a time when home builders are cutting prices and offering buyer incentives to sell homes, was 17.5%, shy of consensus estimates that called for 17.8%.

Electric-vehicle maker Tesla was rising 1%. The stock ended Thursday's session down 2.1%, putting an end to a winning streak of seven trading days. Coming into Friday trading, Tesla shares have gained nearly 25% this month, or 5.3% this week, boosted by a report the company settled a California lawsuit over its driver assistance technology, CEO Elon Musk buying shares for the first time since 2020, and an interest-rate cut.

Netskope, Inc. , the AI cybersecurity-software company, rose 2.7% in the premarket session to $23.09 after opening at $23 a share in the stock's trading debut Thursday and closing at $22.49, up 18% from the initial public offering price of $19.
