U.S. stock futures are lower after tech shares helped push the Nasdaq over the 20,000 level for the first time. Nasdaq futures are pointing down 0.4%, while those of the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average also are lower. Investors are watching for weekly initial jobless claims and November wholesale inflation data, as well as earnings reports from Broadcom and Costco Wholesale. Bitcoin (BTCUSD) is trading slightly lower but still above $100,000, while gold and crude futures are also down. Yields on the 10-year Treasury are up slightly at 4.3%.
Adobe (ADBE) stock is sinking 11% in premarket trading after the graphics software maker issued a revenue outlook below analysts' expectations. The company projected 2025 revenue of $23.30 billion to $23.55 billion, below Visible Alpha consensus of $23.77 billion, while its first-quarter revenue forecast also fell short of expectations. For its fiscal fourth quarter, Adobe topped projections with revenue of $5.61 billion, up 11% year-over-year, and net income of $1.68 billion or $3.79 per share.
Shares of Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL) and Tesla (TSLA) are rising further after both set all-time highs yesterday. Google surged over 5% after the tech giant unveiled its latest artificial intelligence (AI) model with Gemini 2.0, along with investor optimism over regulatory appointments seen as friendly to the company. Tesla shares rose almost 6% to $424.77—their first record high since November 2021—as analysts provided positive commentary on the EV maker's push into self-driving cars and robotics.
Today's 8:30 a.m. ET release of the Producer Price Index (PPI) will provide market watchers with a look at inflation on the wholesale level, which can sometimes carry over into consumer prices. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires expect November PPI to remain at a steady monthly rate of 0.2%, while the monthly "core" PPI is projected to tick lower. The report follows Tuesday's release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which showed that inflation edged higher in November but stayed in line with projections.
Broadcom (AVGO) stock 0.5% lower in premarket trading ahead of its fourth-quarter earnings report after the bell. Analysts tracked by Visible Alpha expect Broadcom to report quarterly profit of $3.53 billion, or 76 cents per share, on revenue of $14.06 billion, up 51% year-over-year. Costco Wholesale (COST), whose shares are ticking higher, also is scheduled to report results after the close. Analysts project first-quarter net income of $1.69 billion, or $3.81 per share, on revenue of $62.06 billion, up from last year's $1.59 billion, or $3.58 per share, on $57.80 billion in revenue.
