US stock futures moved lower on Thursday as disappointing earnings from major technology companies pressured market sentiment.
In after-hours trading, Broadcom sank nearly 14% after reporting fiscal second-quarter revenue below expectations, while cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike dropped more than 11% following soft second-quarter sales guidance.
The weakness spread across the tech sector, with Intel (-2%), AMD (-2.9%), Palantir (-1.5%), Qualcomm (-1.9%), and Arm Holdings (-4.3%) also posting notable losses.
Investors were also assessing heightened geopolitical risks after fresh exchanges of strikes between the US and Iran, undermining hopes for a peace deal and stoking concerns about inflation and higher interest rates.
In Wednesday’s regular session, the Dow fell 1.21%, the S&P 500 lost 0.74%, and the Nasdaq Composite declined 0.89%.
Six of the 11 S&P sectors closed lower, led by technology, financials, and consumer discretionary stocks.
