Stock index futures were higher on Friday, as Nasdaq futures led the charge, driven by strong earnings from tech companies. Here are four stocks to watch on the day:
Netflix (NFLX) shares were up 1.7% in premarket trade as it announced a ten-for-one forward stock split of the company’s common stock. The trading is expected to begin on a split-adjusted basis at market open on November 17, 2025. Overall, the stock has gained over 20% so far this year, outperforming the 17% rise in the broader S&P 500 Index.
Chevron (CVX) rose 0.8% before the opening bell after comfortably beating estimates for Q3 adjusted earnings, as worldwide and U.S. oil-equivalent production set quarterly records, helped by the Hess acquisition. Q3 net profit fell to $3.54 billion, or $1.82/share, from $4.49 billion, or $2.48/share, in the year-earlier quarter, and revenues slipped to $48.17 billion from $48.93 billion a year ago.
Exxon Mobil (XOM) was down 1.6% premarket despite beating Q3 adjusted earnings estimates, helped by higher oil and gas production in Guyana and the Permian Basin, and raising its quarterly dividend by 4% to $1.03/share from $0.99. Q3 net profit fell to $7.55 billion, or $1.76/share, from $8.61 billion, or $1.92/share, in the year-earlier quarter, and revenues fell 5.2% Y/Y to $85.29 billion.
Disney (DIS) fell 0.6% before the opening bell after the company’s networks—including ESPN, ABC, and more than 20 other channels—went dark on Google’s (GOOG) YouTube TV after the two companies failed to reach a new carriage agreement by the contract deadline on October 30, 2025.
