US stock futures declined Friday ahead of the U.S. employment report for December. Economists expect the U.S. to have added 153,000 jobs last month.

U.S. stock markets were closed Thursday in honor of former President Jimmy Carter, who died Dec. 29, at age 100.

These stocks were poised to make moves Friday:

Chip Stocks - Nvidia was down 1.3% in premarket trading following a Bloomberg report that said the Biden administration plans to impose a final round of chip export restrictions before leaving office. The plan would see U.S. allies given free rein to import chips but block imports by unfriendly countries such as China and Russia, according to Bloomberg, which cited people familiar with the matter. Fellow chip makers also traded lower. AMD fell 2.1% and Broadcom slipped 0.8%.

Shares of Micron Technology fell 0.7% in premarket trading. Coming into Friday, the memory and storage company has risen 18% this year, making it the top stock in the S&P 500.

TSMC - TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker, reported on Friday fourth-quarter revenue that easily beat market forecasts and hit its own expectations as it reaped the benefit of artificial intelligence demand. The shares gained 1.3% in premarket trading.

Quantum Computing Stocks - Rigetti Computing was rising 7.5% in premarket trading, D-Wave Quantum gained 5.6%, and IonQ jumped 11.3% as the quantum-computing stocks clawed back sharp losses suffered earlier in the week. The shares tumbled after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said "very useful quantum computers" were decades away. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave Quantum, however told CNBC on Wednesday that his company's services were being used by clients such as Mastercard "not 30 years from now, today."

Costco - Costco Wholesale reported sales in December rose 10% to $27.52 billion, same-store sales were up 7.4%, and e-commerce sales jumped 34%. Shares of the warehouse retailer gained 2.3% in premarket trading.

Delta Air Lines - Delta fell 2% in premarket trading ahead of the release of the carrier's fourth-quarter earnings. Analysts on Wall Street expect Delta to report earnings in the period of $1.76 a share on revenue of $14.2 billion.

Vision Marine Technologies - Vision Marine Technologies, a leading innovator in electric marine propulsion, announces the establishment of a production line for custom cooling plates in partnership with Calip Group, a leader in high-tech welding processes. The shares soared 112.5% in premarket trading.

Microvast Holdings - Microvast reported a "significant milestone" in the development of its true all-solid-state battery technology. U.S.-listed shares of the company jumped 35.3% in premarket trading.

Edison - Edison International has been the index's worst stock in 2025, down 13%. Making up most of that decline was the power producer's drop of 10% on Wednesday after the company's Southern California Edison subsidiary began shutting off power to some customers in California in an effort to help curb the multiple fires in Los Angeles. Edison said it doesn't serve the Palisades area, where one of the largest fires occurred. But it does have some infrastructure around the sites of the Hurst and Eaton fires and has been reviewing the incidents. The stock was down 2.3% in premarket trading.

Allstate, Travelers, Chubb - Allstate, Travelers, and Chubb likely will be the publicly traded insurers most exposed to losses from the L.A. fires, according to analysts at J.P. Morgan, who estimated economic losses from the fires at about $50 billion, with insured losses estimated at $20 billion or more. Allstate was down 6.2% in premarket trading, Travelers fell 2.9%, and Chubb declined 3.6%.

Jefferies Financial - Shares of Jefferies Financial fell 3.7%. The investment bank on Wednesday reported fourth-quarter earnings that rose 212% from a year earlier to $205.7 million and revenue that jumped 63%. The company said investment-banking revenue rose 73% in the quarter to $986.8 million.

Penguin Solutions - Penguin Solutions, the provider of solutions for the computing, memory and LED markets formerly known as Smart Global Holdings, was rising 18.1% after posting fiscal first-quarter adjusted earnings that topped analysts' estimates and affirming its fiscal-year outlook.
