Futures bounce as Tesla, Meta and Netflix lead a huge earnings week
Nasdaq futures rose more than 1% before the open, with 70 S&P 500 companies reporting this week.
U.S. stock futures rose early Monday, pointing to a calmer open after the Nasdaq's worst week since April 2025. Nasdaq 100 futures gained 1.3%, per the Financial Times and Investing.com; S&P 500 futures rose about 0.8%, per Investing.com.
This is the busiest week of earnings season so far, with 70 S&P 500 companies reporting, per CNBC. Netflix reports Tuesday after the close; Tesla, Meta and IBM report Wednesday; General Motors reports Tuesday before the open. Of the 45 S&P 500 companies that had reported by Friday, 85% beat earnings estimates, according to FactSet data cited by CNBC.
The results are a test for the AI trade after last week's tech selloff, driven by worries about what the AI build-out costs and when it pays back. Our week-ahead piece has the full calendar, and Friday's Dusk Ledger recaps the selloff.
