Check out the companies making headlines in premarket trading: Apple — Stock in the iPhone maker climbed 4%. Apple’s first-quarter results surpassed analysts’ estimates on the top and bottom lines on Thursday, with the company’s strong services revenue helping to offset weaker-than-expected iPhone sales. Chevron — The oil giant’s stock fell more than 1% after it missed on earnings in the fourth quarter. Chevron reported adjusted earnings of $2.06 per share, while analysts had forecast $2.11 per share, according to LSEG.

Intel — Shares ticked up 1.5% after marginally beating fourth-quarter earnings expectations. The chipmaker posted earnings per share of 13 cents, excluding items, while analysts polled by FactSet forecast 12 cents. Walgreens Boots Alliance — Shares of the beleaguered pharmacy chain slipped nearly 12% after the company said on Thursday that it would suspend its quarterly cash dividend. Walgreens said in a press release that it is in the middle of “long-term turnaround efforts” and is aiming to strengthen its balance sheet by reducing debt and improving free cash flow. Exxon Mobil — Shares inched higher after the company reported fourth-quarter earnings that beat analysts’ expectations. Exxon earned $1.72 per share, excluding items, beating an LSEG estimate of $1.56 per share. Revenue, however, came in at $83.43 billion, below the consensus forecast of $86.63 billion. Shares were little changed in the premarket. KLA Corporation — Shares jumped almost 4% after the chip equipment maker’s fiscal second-quarter earnings beat analysts’ estimates.
