Listen for comprehensive cross-platform coverage of the US market close as heard on Bloomberg Television, Bloomberg Radio, and YouTube with Romaine Bostick, Katie Griefeld, Carol Massar and Isabelle Lee.

- SK Hynix (SKHYV) American depositary receipts jumped 15% above their offering price, after the South Korean memory chipmaker raised $26.5 billion in the largest-ever US listing by a foreign company. The ADRs trade at $171.41 each at 1:44 p.m. on Friday in New York, versus an offering price of $149 apiece. The successful mega-listing brushed aside concern over recent volatility among chipmakers, demonstrating investors have plenty of appetite for direct exposure to SK Hynix’s dominant position in high-bandwidth memory.

- CrowdStrike (CRWD) stock was down nearly 6% on Friday as investors locked in profits following the stock’s recent rally. The weakness stood out against a stronger broader market. The Nasdaq gained 0.32%, the S&P 500 added 0.31% and the Technology sector rose 0.4%, suggesting the move was driven by stock-specific selling rather than broader market sentiment.

- WD-40 (WDFC) stock jumped 21% in early trading Friday after its earnings highlighted the value in having a good product and knowing how to sell it. Revenue jumped 24% to $195.1 million in the company's fiscal third quarter, driven by sales of its flagship WD-40 Multi-Use product across the world.
