Apple climbed 7.4 percent after quarterly earnings more than doubled. Illumina Inc. soared 34 percent after Roche Holding AG made a $5.7 billion hostile bid for the company.
Apple, the world's largest technology company, climbed 7.4 percent to $451.7. Net income of $13.1 billion in the period that ended Dec. 31 ranked among the highest quarterly profits on record, putting Apple in the same league as energy companies such as Exxon Mobil Corp. and Russia's Gazprom OAO, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Per-share profit of $13.87 for the period was more than Apple earned in any full year before 2010.
AMD lost 4.1 percent to $6.26 in early New York trading. The second-largest maker of processors for personal computers forecast lower sales than some analysts had estimated, hurt by supply shortages and slower demand for PCs.
Nvidia tumbled 4.7 percent to $14.24 in New York. The Santa Clara, California-based company now expects to report fourth- quarter revenue of $950 million, plus or minus 1 percent, according to a statement late yesterday.

Illumina jumped 34 percent to $50.50 in New York. Roche offered about $5.7 billion in cash for Illumina to bolster cancer-drug sales, the third time since 2007 the Swiss drugmaker has made a hostile bid for a U.S. company.
Yahoo! Inc. slipped 1.5 percent to $15.45 in Germany. The largest U.S. Web portal reported fourth-quarter revenue and forecast first-quarter sales that fell short of estimates amid diminished demand for display advertising.
