- SK Hynix (SKHYV) American depositary receipts jumped 15% above their offering price, after the South Korean memory chipmaker raised $26.5 billion in the largest-ever US listing by a foreign company. The ADRs trade at $171.41 each at 1:44 p.m. on Friday in New York, versus an offering price of $149 apiece. The successful mega-listing brushed aside concern over recent volatility among chipmakers, demonstrating investors have plenty of appetite for direct exposure to SK Hynix’s dominant position in high-bandwidth memory.

- CrowdStrike (CRWD) stock was down nearly 6% on Friday as investors locked in profits following the stock’s recent rally. The weakness stood out against a stronger broader market. The Nasdaq gained 0.32%, the S&P 500 added 0.31% and the Technology sector rose 0.4%, suggesting the move was driven by stock-specific selling rather than broader market sentiment.

- WD-40 (WDFC) stock jumped 21% in early trading Friday after its earnings highlighted the value in having a good product and knowing how to sell it. Revenue jumped 24% to $195.1 million in the company's fiscal third quarter, driven by sales of its flagship WD-40 Multi-Use product across the world.

On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Delta (DAL) shares are higher after it reaffirmed its full-year profit guidance, citing strong demand for premium, corporate and international travel that helped offset the highest quarterly fuel expense in its history. The airline earned an adjusted $1.56 a share in the second quarter, topping analysts’ estimates, with revenue rising 14% from a year earlier and capacity increasing just 1%.
- EasyJet (EZJ) shares are moving on news it received a fresh offer from Apollo Global Management for 715 pence a share, beating a rival proposal from Castlelake.

- WD-40 (WDFC) shares jumped after the lubricant spray maker boosted its net sales forecast for the full year.

On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Starbucks (SBUX) is developing in-house tools with the help of artificial intelligence that could replace some software applications it now buys from companies such as Microsoft (MSFT) and International Business Machines (IBM). Starbucks spends about $400 million a year on software alone, and building in-house software can be cheaper, an incentive for the company, which is looking to cut costs as part of a broader turnaround effort. Shares of Microsoft fell 2.4% and IBM sinking 5.2%.

- PepsiCo (PEP) shares are down 2% ahead of the bell after the company reported weaker-than-expected performance in domestic food and beverage categories for the second quarter. Management blamed “consumer budgets tightening due to rising inflationary pressures,” said and constant currency core EPS growth would be primarily weighted toward the fourth quarter, which some analysts say clouds visibility.

- Costco shares fall as much as 4.1%, to the lowest intraday since Jan. 9, after the club store operator’s June comparable sales missed Street expectations.
