- Marvell Technology (MRVL) shares jumped as much as 19% after the chipmaker delivered a bullish sales outlook, saying that data center demand was growing even faster than anticipated. Revenue will be as much as $2.52 billion in the fiscal first quarter, which runs through April, Marvell said in a statement Thursday. Analysts had estimated $2.28 billion on average.

- Boeing (BA) is closing in on one of the largest sales in its history, a 500-aircraft order for 737 Max jets set to be unveiled when President Donald Trump travels to Beijing for his first state visit to China since 2017, people familiar with the matter said. Boeing’s aircraft stand to feature prominently in a trade agreement between China President Xi Jinping and Trump, who has used the US planemaker as a tool to sweeten accords with other governments. Boeing shares jumped as much as 4% following Bloomberg’s report. The stock was the best performer on the 30-member Dow Jones Industrial Average index as of 2:30 p.m. Friday in New York.

- BlackRock (BLK) curbed withdrawals from one of its biggest private credit funds after client requests for redemptions spiked, the latest sign of investor anxiety about the $1.8 trillion private credit industry. The firm’s $26 billion HPS Corporate Lending Fund, one of the largest non-traded business development companies, said in a statement Friday that shareholders requested 9.3% of their shares, but management decided to cap the repurchases at 5%. While the total value of shares would have been about $1.2 billion, according to Bloomberg calculations, investors will get back about $620 million that the fund held at year-end. BlackRock shares fell as much as 8.3% on Friday, while the stocks of alternative asset managers including KKR & Co. and Ares Management Corp. also swooned, as they’re off to their worst start to a year in a decade.
