On Tuesday, the stock market experienced a slight downturn due to the recovery of Treasury yields. However, major indices such as the Dow Jones and Nasdaq were not heavily affected due to the strong performance of megacap stocks like Microsoft, Meta Platforms, and Tesla. Nonetheless, weakness was observed in market breadth, and both the Dow Jones and Russell 2000 fell below their 50-day moving averages.

Streaming media company Roku announced on Wednesday that it would be cutting 10% of its staff. However, the company also raised its revenue projections for the third quarter, leading to an increase in its stock price before the market opened. Analysts had estimated lower revenues for the company, but Roku exceeded expectations.

Software companies Zscaler and Asana reported earnings on Tuesday evening, along with software developer GitLab. Despite posting better-than-expected earnings, Zscaler’s stock price slightly declined due to an uneven consolidation period. Asana’s stock price also fell after surpassing earnings estimates, while GitLab’s stock price unexpectedly rose with earnings and revenues above projections.

Meta stock, Microsoft stock, MongoDB stock, and Zscaler are nearing buy points and showing signs of potential growth. Meta stock is included in the IBD Leaderboard, while Microsoft’s stock is on the IBD Long-Term Leaders list. Both MongoDB and Zscaler stocks are on the IBD 50 list.

As for the outlook, Dow Jones futures were slightly below fair value on Wednesday. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures also experienced declines. The 10-year Treasury bond yield slightly fell to 1.25%, and crude oil prices also declined. Economic data, such as the ISM Services Index, is expected to be released throughout the day.

Despite the drop in futures, it is important to note that pre-market action does not always translate into actual trades in the regular stock market session.
