Exxon Mobil stock pops after-hours as CEO opens door to Venezuela return, earnings loom

Exxon Mobil Corporation shares rose in after-hours trading on Friday after CEO Darren Woods said the company was ready to evaluate a return to Venezuela, where Exxon left after its assets were nationalized nearly two decades ago.

Boeing stock jumps late after FAA clears 737 MAX 10 for next flight-test phase

Boeing stock jumps late after FAA clears 737 MAX 10 for next flight-test phase

Boeing shares jumped $7.04, or 3.1%, to $234.53 in after-hours trading Friday, after the Federal Aviation Administration gave the 737 MAX 10 the green light to enter its second phase of flight testing, according to a source familiar with the program. The MAX 10, Boeing’s largest 737 model, holds over 1,200 orders and battles Airbus’s A321neo in the market. However, an engine deicing issue — which prevents ice buildup — continues to cloud the outlook for both the MAX 10 and the smaller MAX 7. “It’s progress, but until the MAX 10 is certified, it’s not,” said Scott Hamilton of the Leeham Company. During the session, Boeing’s shares fluctuated between $227.14 and $235.11.
