After the bell Wednesday, Nvidia’s earnings report blew past Wall Street estimates as CEO Jensen Huang said customers are “racing to invest in AI.” Shares were up less than 1% before the bell.
Shares of Salesforce (CRM), which also reported results after markets closed yesterday, were down nearly 4% in premarket trading after the software company issued a full-year revenue projection that came up short of analysts’ expectations.
Nutanix (NTNX) stock soared 20% after the cloud-computing firm announced a partnership with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) to develop an AI infrastructure platform. AMD shares slipped less than 1%.
Paramount Skydance (PSKY) stock advanced 1% while the company it is trying to acquire, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) edged higher before it reported results.

Bitcoin, which surged yesterday, recently was trading around $68,200, down from overnight highs around $69,900. The 10-year Treasury yield, which influences interest rates on a variety of consumer loans including mortgages, was little changed from Wednesday’s close around 4.05%.
