Market News:
U.S. stock futures are trading mixed Wednesday morning
as investors assess the recent technology-led selloff, elevated Treasury yields
and geopolitical tensions. The market is also focused on the Federal Reserve's
July meeting minutes, due later today, for clues on the future path of interest
rates. Retail and semiconductor earnings are the major focus, with Target,
Lowe's, TJX and Analog Devices among the key companies reporting.
Here are some of the key premarket movers and
earnings stocks:

rose modestly after reporting fiscal third-quarter adjusted EPS of $3.45, above
the $3.34 estimate, while revenue of $4.02 billion also exceeded expectations.

supporting the semiconductor stock.

about 4.6% despite raising its annual profit forecast. Investors focused on
weaker-than-expected third-quarter EPS guidance of $1.30$1.32 versus the $1.35
consensus.
Target (NYSE: TGT)
slipped despite a major earnings beat. The retailer reported $4.11 EPS versus
$2.33 expected and revenue of $26.54 billion versus $26.13 billion expected,

results. The company reported $1.31 EPS versus $0.95 expected, a significant
earnings beat.

outlook above expectations, making it one of the stronger large-cap earnings
reactions of the morning.
