Meta Platforms — Meta Platforms’ stock surged more than 17% in extended trading after reporting a beat on earnings but a miss on revenue in the first quarter. Daily active users on Facebook also beat analyst expectations.

Qualcomm — Shares of the semiconductor rose 5% after hours following a beat on the top and bottom lines in the recent quarter driven in part by Android phone chip sales. Qualcomm reported adjusted revenue of $3.21 per share on revenues of $11.16 billion. Analysts surveyed by Refinitiv expected $2.91 a share on $10.60 billion in revenue.

PayPal — Shares of PayPal gained 3.2% after reporting adjusted earnings per share that fell in line with analysts’ estimates and a beat on revenue. The company slashed revenue and earnings per share guidance for the full year and issued weak guidance for the second quarter.

Ford — The automaker’s stock rose 4% after reporting adjusted earnings per share of 38 cents on $32.1 billion in revenues in the first quarter. Analysts surveyed by Refinitiv expected earnings of 37 cents per share on $31.13 billion in revenue. Ford said its stake in electric vehicle maker Rivian pulled profits lower.  

Amgen — Amgen shares dropped 5% despite a beat on the top and bottom lines in the previous quarter after disclosing a new dispute with the IRS, seeking billions in back taxes.
