Shares of Lam Research (LRCX) fell 1.9% after the silicon-foundry equipment supplier said it would be cutting its work force by 7% to reduce costs as chip equipment demand slows.

American depositary receipts of SAP (SAP) fell 4.4% after the German enterprise software giant announced plans to reduce its staff by 2.5%, and said it has begun exploring the sale of its majority stake in Qualtrics (XM).

American depositary receipts of Nokia (NOK) rose 3% after the Finnish telecommunications company beat analysts’ expectations for its fourth-quarter earnings and sales.
