U.S. Premarket Movers – Tuesday, August 4, 2026

 

U.S. stock futures are trading mixed Tuesday morning as investors await the June JOLTS Job Openings report, Factory Orders, and a busy slate of corporate earnings led by AMD, Caterpillar, Pfizer, Merck, McDonald's, and Arista Networks. Markets are also monitoring Treasury yields and expectations for the Federal Reserve's next policy move following recent economic data.

 

Here are some of the key premarket movers:

 

Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) gained after reporting better-than-expected earnings and revenue, supported by resilient demand across its construction and mining businesses.

 

Marathon Petroleum (NYSE: MPC) advanced after delivering a strong earnings and revenue beat, helped by solid refining margins.

 

Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) edged higher after posting better-than-expected quarterly earnings and revenue.

 

Merck & Co. (NYSE: MRK) rose after beating analyst expectations on both earnings and revenue.

 

McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) traded lower despite a slight earnings beat, as revenue missed Wall Street estimates.

 

Cummins (NYSE: CMI) slipped after missing EPS expectations, although revenue came in above forecasts.

 

W.W. Grainger (NYSE: GWW) moved higher following better-than-expected earnings and revenue.

 

Ametek (NYSE: AME) gained after reporting strong quarterly results that exceeded analyst estimates.

 

AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) was active ahead of its after-market earnings release, with investors focused on AI chip demand and data center growth.

 

Arista Networks (NYSE: ANET) was in focus ahead of earnings, with expectations for continued strength in AI networking infrastructure.

 

Booking Holdings (NASDAQ: BKNG) and Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) were also closely watched ahead of their earnings announcements after the closing bell.
