Shares of IBM (IBM) fell 7% in Friday’s premarket, the morning after the company reported disappointing fourth-quarter revenue of $20.37 billion. Software sales declined as pandemic-induced uncertainty kept some customers from striking long-term deals. The company has sought to go bigger in cloud computing and artificial intelligence under new CEO Arvind Krishna. IBM’s adjusted quarterly earnings of $2.07 per share did beat estimates.

Intel (INTC) said it released quarterly results earlier than expected, minutes before Thursday’s market close, because an infographic got out. Intel shares closed the regular session nearly 6.5% higher after earnings and revenue beat estimates. But after hours, the stock fell about 4% after incoming CEO Pat Gelsinger said on the post-earnings call with analysts that the majority of the chipmaker’s 2023 products will be made in house rather than outsourced. Gelsinger, outgoing VMWare CEO, takes over at IBM next month.

President Joe Biden on Friday plans to sign two executive orders to provide stopgap financial relief to millions of Americans while lawmakers begin to consider his massive $1.9 trillion Covid stimulus package.

Biden has taken several actions during his first days as president to control the virus and offer economic relief.
