Pre-Bell|U.S. Futures Fall Nearly 1%; One Company Shares Jump 24%

Tiger Newspress2022-09-19

Wall Street futures fell on Monday, with rate-sensitive technology and growth stocks leading the declines as investors worried that another massive interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve could tip the U.S. economy into a recession.

Heavyweights Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon.com, Meta Platforms, Tesla Inc and Nvidia Corp fell about 1% in premarket trading.

Focus will also be on new economic projections, due to be published alongside the policy statement at 2 p.m. ET (1800 GMT) on Wednesday.

The CBOE volatility index(.VIX), also known as Wall Street's fear gauge, rose to 27.88 points, inching closer to a more than two-month high.

Market Snapshot

At 7:55 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis were down 251 points, or 0.81%, S&P 500 e-minis were down 33.25 points, or 0.85%, and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were down 109 points, or 0.91%.

Pre-Market Movers

AutoZone (AZO) – AutoZone gained 2.3% in premarket action after the auto parts retailer reported better-than-expected profit and revenue for its latest quarter. AutoZone's same-store sales rose 6.2% compared to a year ago, twice what analysts had predicted amid continued strength in its commercial business.

Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) – Take-Two shares slid 5.6% in the premarket after Bloomberg reported that a hacker released gameplay from its upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV game online. It's said to be one of the biggest leaks in gaming history.

bluebird bio (BLUE) – bluebird bio rallied 6.6% in premarket trading after the Food and Drug Administration approved the company's gene therapy for a rare and lethal brain disease in children.

Wix (WIX) – Wix shares jumped 6% in premarket action after activist investor Starboard Value revealed a 9% stake in the web development platform company.

Coinbase (COIN) – Coinbase fell 4.8% in the premarket, as multimonth lows for cryptocurrencies weigh on sentiment for the crypto exchange operator and other crypto-related stocks. MicroStrategy (MSTR) – the business analytics company which has billions in bitcoin on its balance sheet – also fell, down 5%.

FedEx (FDX) – FedEx remains on watch after plunging 21.4% in Friday's trading following an earnings warning, its biggest-ever one-day decline.

NCR (NCR) – NCR slid another 2.2% in the premarket on top of a 20.3% plunge Friday after Morgan Stanley downgraded the stock to "equal-weight" from "overweight." The Friday decline followed news that NCR would separate into two separate companies, and Morgan Stanley said any unlocking of value from that move may take a long time to play out.

Adobe (ADBE) – Wells Fargo downgraded the software company's stock to "equal weight" from "overweight," saying Adobe's planned acquisition of online design firm Figma is a good product fit but that the $20 billion price tag leaves little room for error. Adobe fell 1.3% in premarket trading after falling 16.8% last Thursday and another 3.1% on Friday.

Theravance Biopharma (TBPH) – Theravance has initiated a $250 million stock buyback program. As part of that program, it will buy the 9.6 million shares held by pharmaceutical companyGSK(GSK). Theravance added 3.2% in the premarket.

KnowBe4 (KNBE) – KnowBe4, Inc today confirmed the receipt of a non-binding proposal from Vista Equity Partners (“Vista”) to acquire all outstanding shares of the Company for $24 per share in cash. The proposal represents a 39% premium to KnowBe4’s closing price on September 16, 2022. KnowBe4 shares jumped 24.3% in premarket trading.
