U.S. stock futures rose on Wednesday following Tuesday’s mixed close. Futures of major benchmark indices were higher.

On Tuesday, the Dow Jones index hit a new record for the third consecutive day, even as the Nasdaq Composite dropped over 100 points.

Investors are bracing for January’s U.S. employment report, unemployment rate, and hourly wages data scheduled to be released today before the market opens.

Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.13%, and the two-year bond was at 3.45%. The CME Group's FedWatch tool‘s projections show markets pricing a 78.9% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged in March.

The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ), which track the S&P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, were higher in premarket on Wednesday. The SPY was up 0.20% at $693.52, while the QQQ advanced 0.18% to $612.32.

00:27is in fact
00:28the case here today we'll see if we can hang on to green or if we make a red green
00:32move
00:33when we get some of that data here today let's take a look at some cues from last session
00:40communication services financial and consumer staple stocks led losses on tuesday
00:46as most s&p 500 sectors fell though utilities and real estate shares rose
00:54on tuesday the dow jones index hit a new record for the third consecutive day this came even as
01:00the nasdaq composite dropped over 100 points we talked about the rotation out of big cap tech

01:29tool projections
01:30now show that the market is pricing in a 78.9 percent likelihood that the federal reserve leaves the
01:35current interest rates unchanged in march now it's still a very high percentage but when we first started
01:42reporting this we were in the mid 90s now we're in the high 70s so it worth it's worth watching
01:48going
01:48forward here but i don't think that the move down yet in this percentage is enough to really think
01:55that we might get a cut uh we actually heard from hammock earlier this week beth hammock earlier this
02:00week um she talked about wanting to get inflation down to the two percent target before they cut again
02:05we all know where powell stands and all of that so to me it just seems like it's this is
02:10just a bridge
02:11too far to cross to get those interest rates cut in march perhaps uh we'll leave it on on hold
02:17for
02:18another period here now we have several stocks in focus here for you today the first one is going to
02:22be cloud flare this is ticker n-e-t-e it's jumped 15.23 percent in the pre-market on
02:29wednesday after
02:29reporting better than expected fourth quarter financial results and issuing full year 26 sales
02:34guidance above the estimates um really quickly the q4 adjusted eps it was a 28 cent uh eps that beat
02:43the 27 cent estimate uh sales were 614.50 million that beat the 591.27 million estimate so beat on
02:53the
02:54top and the bottom line there cloud flare sees q1 adjusted eps of 23 cents that was versus the 25
02:59estimate and sales of 620 to 621 million that was versus the 613 estimate so uh a raise there in
03:07guidance for q1 on the sales side the company said it sees full year 2026 revenue in the range of
03:132.79
03:14billion to 2.8 billion that's versus the estimate of 2.74 billion so they're definitely going to see
03:20some more sales here both in the first quarter and also in the full year here um this has me
03:27wondering
03:27is cloud flare one of these stocks that's a winner in ai uh we're going to be talking a lot
03:32more about
03:33ai uh whether or not it's a bubble or or if there are going to be huge winners in that
03:37i personally
03:38think there are both little preview there hint hint wink wink uh but cloud flare here um really kind of
03:44showing that it is you know one of the ai ai winners here uh the next stock on our list
03:49is going
03:49to be mattel this is ticker mat and it dropped 30.25 not a typo 30.25 after posting downbeat
03:58earnings
03:58for the fourth quarter the company reported quarterly earnings of 39 cents per share which
04:02missed the consensus estimate of 54 cents per share and boy what a miss that missed by 27.64 percent
04:09as far as sales go they had 1.767 billion that missed the 1.84 billion estimate and they see
04:17full
04:17year 26 adjusted eps of 118 to 130 that was versus a 175 estimate so a big guy down there
04:23sales 5.5 to 5.669 billion that's versus the 5.617 billion the other thing here about mattel we're
04:32gonna have to see how it finishes up but it is on pace for being its worst day ever in
04:38terms of
04:39performance and percentage change i had some notes here that i gathered the previous day was february 9th
04:452019 um where it dropped just about 20 so if this holds here today this would be the worst performing
04:53day for mattel in the company's history the next stock on our list is going to be ast space mobile
