Costco, Smith & Wesson, Splunk, Gap, Broadcom: What to Watch When the Stock Market Opens Today


Stock futures and global stock indexes fell as concerns mounted about Russia’s intensifying military campaign in Ukraine (live coverage). Russia’s central bank kept the Moscow stock market largely closed for a fifth straight day. Here’s what we’re watching in Friday’s trading:

  • Splunk shares added 1.6% premarket. Private-equity firm Hellman & Friedman has taken a 7.5% stake in the software company worth about $1.4 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.
  • Marvell Technology shares fell 2.9% premarket. The chip maker’s results beat Wall Street targets and revenue reached $1.34 billion, the third consecutive quarter of more than a billion dollars in revenue.
  • Gap gained 7.4% premarket after the clothing retailer beat expectations with fourth-quarter results and annual forecast.
  • Smith & Wesson Brands plunged 22% premarket after the gun maker reported an earnings miss for the holiday quarter as sales fell more than 30%.
  • Broadcom climbed 3.1%. The chip and software company’s results and outlook topped Wall Street forecasts, and its share buybacks reached $2.7 billion out of a planned $10 billion for the year.
  • Costco Wholesale slipped 2% after the warehouse retailer reported better-than-expected profit and sales in the second quarter.
  • Travel stocks were having a rough day. Cruise operators Carnival and Royal Caribbean dropped 4.3% and 1.6% respectively, and Airbnb shed 2.8%. American Airlines fell 2.4% and United Airlines shed 2.2%.
  • Electric-vehicle makers were also losing some juice. Tesla slipped 1%, China’s NIO fell 2.9%, Lucid Group was down 1.1% and Lordstown Motors shed 2.6%.
  • Amazon.com edged down 1% premarket. The e-commerce giant has given the FTC a fast-approaching deadline to deliver a verdict on its proposed $6.5 billion acquisition of the MGM movie and television studio, a move that could make it difficult for the agency to challenge the deal before the tech giant completes it.
