- Western Digital (WDC) forecast better-than-expected earnings and hiked its dividend, underscoring strong demand for data storage fueled by the artificial intelligence boom. The hard-drive maker expects adjusted earnings per share of as much as $6 in its fiscal second quarter, well ahead of analyst expectations of $4.80, according to a statement Thursday. It also raised its dividend by 17%. Shares rose 2% in extended trading, although the stock was volatile and briefly went negative.

- Deckers Outdoor (DECK) shares are down 8.1% in extended trading after the footwear company cut its net sales guidance for the full year, which also fell short of the consensus estimate. While the 2027 earnings per share forecast was raised, the company noted the outlook includes a one-time benefit from tariff refunds.

- Bloom Energy (BE) boosted its revenue guidance for the full year; the guidance beat the average analyst estimate.
