U.S. stock futures are lower in premarket trading with tech under pressure after Intel (INTC) and Amazon (AMZN) earnings.

The moves come after losses on Thursday led by a 12% slide in Alphabet (GOOGL) shares on weak earnings. Amazon (AMZN) shares are down 6% ahead of the open after the company reported earnings and revenue for the third quarter that fell short of Wall Street’s expectations. Intel (INTC) shares are sliding 25% after issuing a weak outlook for the current quarter and a slowdown in PCs sales into 2027.

Today marks the end of a volatile October for markets led by losses in the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 (NDX). With little economic data, investors will focus on earnings fallout today.
