U.S. stock futures fell Wednesday, led by a 0.7% drop in Nasdaq 100 futures after Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) and AMD (AMD) posted mixed earnings. S&P 500 futures slipped 0.5%, while Dow futures edged down 0.2%.
Alphabet’s stock plunged 7% in after-hours trading as investors reacted to slowing cloud sales and rising costs, despite meeting revenue expectations. AMD initially gained on strong earnings but tumbled 8% after its CEO warned of weaker data center sales. Chipotle (CMG) also slid over 5% on cautious guidance.
