🧠 Marvell stock slides premarket as Microsoft-led tech selloff keeps AI spending in the spotlight

Shares of Marvell Technology dropped 2.3% to $79.48 in premarket action, deepening declines following a slide in the previous session.

💾 SanDisk stock price surges in premarket after upbeat forecast, Kioxia supply deal

Sandisk shares jumped 18.9% in premarket action Friday, hitting $641.18 by 4:22 a.m. ET. The flash-memory company boosted its profit forecast and renewed a crucial supply deal.

The stock had closed Thursday at $539.30.

Sandisk’s late-day forecast demands a quick rethink.

🪙 Strategy stock slides nearly 10% in premarket as bitcoin sinks again

Strategy Inc shares fell 9.7% to $143.19 in premarket trading on Friday, following a close at $158.51. The drop came amid a sharp fall in bitcoin, which put pressure on crypto-linked stocks.

This matters since Strategy’s stock typically behaves like an amplified stand-in for bitcoin: according to the company’s website, it owns 712,647 bitcoin, acquired at an average cost of $76,037 per coin.

Bitcoin dropped again as investors shunned riskier assets amid rumors that former Fed governor Kevin Warsh might replace Chair Jerome Powell. TechStock² reports.


💾 Sandisk’s eye-popping earnings forecast helps justify 1,400% stock surge

Sandisk’s new revenue guidance is almost 60% higher, and a fresh profit outlook 150% higher, than what Wall Street expected, showing why the S&P 500’s hottest stock is only getting hotter.

The storage maker said late Thursday it expects fiscal third-quarter revenue to come in between $4.4 billion and $4.8 billion.

At the midpoint, that guidance is almost 60% higher than the $2.9 billion consensus on FactSet. MarketWatch reports.


🚀 TechCreate Group stock leaps again in premarket after 889% surge; TCGL says it sees no fresh news

TechCreate Group surged again in premarket trading Friday, climbing 118% to $188.42 after Thursday’s close at $86.36, which itself was up 889% on the day.

The stock’s wild ride continued, having jumped from $8.90 to $136.32 in the previous session, according to Webull market data.

Such a move is unusual, even among small-cap stocks. It lands the stock on watchlists ahead of the opening auction, where limited liquidity can amplify each trade.

Investors are left wondering what shifted. TechCreate has not cited any fresh corporate news to explain the recent price moves. TechStock² reports.
