# U.S. Stock Futures Dip as Investors Weigh Alphabet Earnings and Higher Oil Prices

U.S. stock futures edged lower on Wednesday evening as investors digested the latest tech earnings, such as Alphabet (GOOGL), and rising oil prices.

Major stock indices fell on Wednesday ahead of several Big Tech earnings reports due after the close. The 10‑year Treasury yield hit a two‑month high on fresh inflation worries, and oil prices kept climbing. Overall, the Nasdaq, the S&P 500, and the Dow slipped 0.6%, 0.1%, and 0.01%, respectively. All three had risen yesterday after three straight down days, helped by a rebound in chip stocks.

Alphabet shares slid 4% after hours after the company raised its 2026 capex outlook to as high as $205 billion due to heavy AI demand. This spooked investors as they have grown cautious about how much hyperscalers are spending on AI.

Thursday brings another busy earnings slate, with Dow (DOW), American Airlines (AAL), T‑Mobile (TMUS), and Norfolk Southern (NSC) reporting before the bell. Intel (INTC) reports after the close.
