  • Gap (NYSE:GPS) stock rose 7% after the clothes retailer overcame supply challenges to beat estimates for 2021 and projected sales will grow in the current year as it adapts to new clothing trends among people returning to work.

  • Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) stock rose 4% after the chipmaker forecast another strong quarter, banking on demand from enterprise, and cloud clients for its semiconductors and infrastructure software solutions.

  • Splunk (NASDAQ:SPLK) stock rose 1.4% after the Wall Street Journal reported that Hellman & Friedman has taken a 7.5% stake worth about $1.4 billion in the software firm.
