Market News:
U.S. stock futures are trading around flat to
slightly lower Wednesday morning as investors remain cautious ahead of July PCE
inflation data, revised Q2 GDP figures and NVIDIA's highly anticipated earnings
after the close. Nasdaq-100 futures are down around 0.2%, while S&P 500
futures are slightly lower and Dow futures are near flat.
The main focus today is NVIDIA's earnings, with
Wall Street looking for roughly $92B–$93B in revenue and about $2.09–$2.10 EPS.
The results could set the direction for semiconductor and AI stocks after the
close.
Key Premarket Movers
NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA)
gained around 0.4% ahead of its highly anticipated earnings report after the
market close. Investors will focus on AI demand, forward guidance and the
company's longer-term growth outlook.
Intuit (NASDAQ: INTU) fell
roughly 10%–11% after issuing a weaker-than-expected fiscal 2027 outlook,
raising concerns about slower growth and pricing pressure.
Zoom Communications (NASDAQ: ZM)
dropped around 6%–7% after providing disappointing guidance for the upcoming
quarter despite beating on its latest results.
Semtech (NASDAQ: SMTC)
jumped roughly 5.5%, making it one of the stronger technology premarket movers.
Boston Scientific (NYSE: BSX)
gained around 1.7% in premarket trading.
Salesforce (NYSE: CRM)
remained under pressure ahead of its earnings after the close, with investors focused
on AI disruption and pricing concerns. Analysts expect approximately $3.28 EPS
and $11.33B revenue.
CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) is
also scheduled to report after the bell. The cybersecurity
company remains a major technology-sector earnings catalyst.
