Market News:

 

U.S. stock futures are trading mixed Friday morning as investors digest another wave of quarterly earnings from some of the largest U.S. companies. Market sentiment is being driven by results from energy, financial, healthcare, telecom, and industrial companies. Investors are also watching whether strong earnings can offset concerns about slowing economic growth and the Federal Reserve's interest rate outlook. Earnings remain the primary catalyst for premarket trading.

 

Here are some of the key premarket movers:

 

American Express (NYSE: AXP) fell about 3.9% in premarket trading despite reporting EPS of $4.53 vs. $4.40 expected, as revenue of $19.64B came in slightly below the $19.69B consensus.

 

SLB (NYSE: SLB) gained over 4.0% after reporting EPS of $0.55 vs. $0.51 expected and revenue of $8.97B vs. $8.67B, beating estimates on both earnings and revenue.

 

HCA Healthcare (NYSE: HCA) rose around 0.7% after posting EPS of $7.59 vs. $7.40 expected and revenue of $20.23B vs. $19.38B, exceeding Wall Street expectations.

 

Canadian National Railway (NYSE: CNI) advanced about 0.5% after reporting EPS of $2.08 vs. $1.93 expected and revenue of $4.75B vs. $4.56B, beating consensus estimates.

 

Lamb Weston Holdings (NYSE: LW) climbed more than 3.0% after delivering a strong quarter with EPS of $0.87 vs. $0.62 expected and revenue of $1.77B vs. $1.69B.

 

Sensient Technologies (NYSE: SXT) gained nearly 3.8% after reporting EPS of $1.20 vs. $1.04 expected and revenue of $462.1M vs. $448.8M, beating analyst estimates.

 

Gentex (NASDAQ: GNTX) edged higher after reporting EPS of $0.58 vs. $0.50 expected, although revenue of $651.3M was slightly below the $668.2M forecast.

 

Charter Communications (NASDAQ: CHTR) fell nearly 5.9% despite reporting EPS of $10.66 vs. $10.00 expected, as revenue narrowly missed expectations and investors reacted negatively to subscriber trends.

 

Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) slipped about 1.4% after reporting EPS of $1.30 vs. $1.28 expected, while revenue of $34.3B missed the $35.28B consensus estimate.

 

NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE) traded modestly lower despite beating earnings expectations with EPS of $1.15 vs. $1.09 expected, as revenue of $7.53B fell short of the $8.19B forecast.

 

Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM) remained in focus after reporting results, with investors assessing the impact of lower energy prices. Shares were modestly lower in premarket trading.

 

World Acceptance (NASDAQ: WRLD) surged after reporting EPS of $2.12, crushing estimates of $0.44, representing one of the day's largest earnings beats.

 

Noodles & Company (NASDAQ: NDLS) jumped more than 14% in premarket trading after reporting EPS of $0.18, far above the expected loss of $0.08, while revenue also topped estimates.

 

GrafTech International (NYSE: EAF) gained over 7% despite reporting a slightly wider-than-expected quarterly loss, as investors focused on improving business trends.

 

After the Closing Bell

 

KB Home (NYSE: KBH) is scheduled to report after the market closes, with analysts expecting EPS of $2.47 on revenue of $1.99B.

 

ServiceTitan (NASDAQ: TTAN) will also report after the close, with investors looking for updates on software demand and forward guidance.

 

Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ: AEHR) is another closely watched earnings release, with investors focused on semiconductor test equipment demand and AI-related spending.
