Stock futures rose Friday and bond yields retreated, a day after the S&P 500's three-session winning streak was snapped, led lower by a slump in technology stocks.
These stocks were poised to make moves Friday:
Apple was up 0.6% in premarket trading. Shares of the iPhone maker dropped 4% on Thursday to $228.26, the stock's lowest close since Nov. 18, and its largest daily percentage decrease since Aug. 5. The company fell to third place in terms of market share in China, according to data from research firm Canalys, as domestic manufacturers took advantage of Apple's lack of artificial-intelligence features available on phones purchased in the country.
Qorvo jumped 7.2% after activist investor Starboard Value amassed a 7.7% position in the company, which makes radio-frequency chips for connectivity in Apple iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, and other wireless devices.

Western Digital, the maker of data-storage devices, said it expects fiscal second-quarter earnings at the lower end of prior guidance of $1.75 to $2.05 a share, saying it was seeing a "more challenging pricing environment" in its flash business. Western Digital said revenue in the period was expected at the midpoint of its previous guidance range of $4.2 billion to $4.4 billion.
UnitedHealth shares were the big loser Thursday, finishing down 6%, after the health insurer reported weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter results for its insurance division. Revenue at the division was $74.1 billion, below analysts' estimates of $75.2 billion. The stock was rising 0.5% in premarket trading.

The fintech firm Nukkleus said on Thursday that it has regained compliance with the market value of listed securities requirement as outlined in Nasdaq Listing Rules and the market value of publicly held shares requirement as outlined in the rules.

J.B. Hunt Transport Services declined 11% after fourth-quarter revenue fell 5% to $3.15 billion, just topping analysts' estimates of $3.13 billion, on lower revenue per load, excluding fuel surcharge revenue, across the company's intermodal and truckload segments.
