US Stock Market LIVE Updates: Futures trade with minor gains, but tech stocks under pressure; Pinterest plunges 17%

Published on 05/11/2025 07:45 PM

Pinterest stock tumbled over 17% in premarket trading after the social media company reported earnings that fell short of analyst expectations.

Advanced Micro Devices shares dropped 5% in premarket trade after the chipmaker’s adjusted margin guidance for the current quarter came in line with estimates, disappointing investors hoping for an upgrade.

US private employers added 42,000 jobs in October, according to ADP data released Wednesday, marking a modest rebound after a 29,000-job decline in September. The figure topped the Dow Jones estimate of 22,000, suggesting the labour market remains resilient despite broader economic uncertainty. Gains in trade, transportation and utilities — up 47,000 — helped offset losses in other sectors. Education and health services added 26,000 jobs, while financial activities rose by 11,000. The report offers a glimmer of strength ahead of Friday’s key nonfarm payrolls data.

Cava shares fell after the restaurant chain slashed its full-year forecast for the second consecutive quarter, citing weaker demand from younger diners. CFO Tricia Tolivar said customers aged 25 to 34 — a key demographic for fast-casual dining — have been visiting less frequently amid rising unemployment and resumed student loan repayments. She also noted that recent tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump have added “an overall fog for the consumer.” The company expects softer demand to persist through the final quarter of the year.

US markets extended their losses on Tuesday, with tech stocks leading the decline after months of powering Wall Street’s record rally. The Dow Jones slipped 250 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq tumbled 1.2% and 2%, respectively, the latter closing 500 points lower at its session’s bottom.

 

The fast-food giant reported quarterly earnings and revenue that missed Wall Street expectations. However, US same-store sales came in stronger than anticipated, offering some relief to investors. CEO Chris Kempczinski called the results “a testament to our ability to deliver sustainable growth even in a challenging environment.” The company has warned for over a year about weakening restaurant spending, especially among lower-income customers, signalling continued caution for the broader consumer economy.

Super Micro Computer’s stock fell 8% after the company reported fiscal first-quarter results that came in below expectations. The AI server maker posted adjusted earnings of 35 cents per share on revenue of $5.02 billion, missing analyst estimates of 40 cents per share and $6 billion in revenue, according to LSEG. The results raised concerns that growth in AI hardware demand may be slowing, following months of strong momentum that had pushed the stock to record highs. Investors now await the company’s next guidance for clues on future demand trends.

Michael Burry, the investor who famously predicted the US mortgage crisis, that became the trigger for the global financial crisis of 2008, has disclosed bearish positions on Nvidia Corp. and Palantir, the former being the most valued company in the world, and the latter being the most expensive stock on the S&P 500 index.
