Stock futures traded mixed Friday after price pressures in the U.S. continued to ease adding to investors’ optimism the Federal Reserve could be close to ending its rates-hiking campaign. San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly, however, said the Fed still has “more work to do” to combat inflation.
These stocks were poised to make moves Friday:
Cano Health
(CANO) was falling 48% in premarket trading to about 79 cents after the primary-care provider said there was “substantial doubt” about its ability to continue operating within one year. Cano also said it would cut its workforce by 17% and was “pursuing a comprehensive process to identify and evaluate interest in a sale” of the company.
Maxeon Solar
(MAXN), the Singapore-based solar technology company, reduced full-year guidance citing a “near-term softening of residential demand and the challenging market conditions” that it expects to persist through the fourth quarter. The company said it expects full-year revenue of $1.25 billion to $1.35 billion, compared with prior guidance of $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion.

The stock tumbled 24%.

(ACHR), the air taxi maker, reached an agreement with
