Bitcoin, Netflix, Peloton, Coinbase: What to Watch When the Stock Market Opens Today

Stock futures are falling after disappointing earnings reports from some popular technology stocks. Here’s what we’re watching at the end of a rough week on Wall Street:

  • Bitcoin’s price fell below $40,000, and crypto stocks were dragged down with it.

    Coinbase

    COIN 0.97%

    dropped 5.6% ahead of the bell, and bitcoin miners

    Marathon Digital

    MARA -0.08%

    and

    Riot Blockchain

    RIOT -0.11%

    slid 7.8% and 8.7% respectively.

  • Netflix

    NFLX -1.48%

    plunged 19% premarket. The streaming giant said it expects to add a much smaller number of subscribers this quarter than it did a year ago as it adjusts to growing competition and lasting disruptions from the coronavirus pandemic. The bad news seemed to rub off on streaming-device maker Roku, which shed 4% premarket.

  • Peloton

    PTON -23.93%

    powered 5.5% higher premarket, but that only makes up a bit of Thursday’s 24% drop. The company is reviewing the size of its workforce and resetting production levels as it adapts to more seasonal demand for its exercise equipment.

  • Intel

    INTC -2.95%

    nudged down 0.2%. The company plans to invest at least $20 billion in new chip-making capacity in Ohio.

  • CSX

    CSX -0.03%

    fell 3.2%, though the railroad operator is projecting that shipping volume will rise faster than GDP this year and reported a slight earnings beat.

  • Ally Financial

    ALLY -0.02%

    shares slipped 2.4% premarket after it reported lower earnings per share during the recent quarter from a year prior.

  • Huntington Bancshares

    HBAN -2.51%

    ticked down 4.5% after it also reported a slight drop in earnings per share.

Chart of the Day
  • Europe’s tech scene has struggled to emerge from the shadows of giants in the U.S. and Asia, but friendly local policies and a global overflow of investment capital are now giving the region a gusher of cash.
