Oct 24 (Reuters) - Futures linked to the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 surged on Thursday following a selloff in the previous session, buoyed by Tesla's optimistic earnings forecast, which kicked off megacap results on an upbeat note.
Shares of the EV-makersoared nearly 12% in premarket trading after it reported robust third-quarter profits and surprised investors with a prediction of 20 to30% growth in sales next year.
"Tesla bounced back from the underwhelming launch of its Robotaxi with a strong set of third-quarter earnings. These numbers represent a return to form after an underpowered second quarter, when profitability dropped sharply," said Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell.
"There is clearly still decent appetite for electric vehicles, even if it is not coming through as rapidly as some hoped."
Tesla was the first of the so-called Magnificent Seven group of megacaps to report, with results from several othersawaited next week.
The optimism spread to theother six, with Nvidia NVDA.O rising 1%, Amazon.com AMZN.O up 0.8% and Meta Platforms META.O gaining 0.9% after steep declines in the previous session.
Dow E-minis 1YMcv1 were down 53 points, or 0.12%, S&P 500 E-minis EScv1 were up 26.75 points, or 0.46%, and Nasdaq 100 E-minis NQcv1 were up 168.25 points, or 0.83%.
Wall Street witnessed a selloff on Wednesday, with the benchmark S&P 500 notching its third straight decline and the Nasdaq seeing its worst day since early September.
Stocks have eased from record levels over the past few sessions due to a reassessment of bets on the Federal Reserve's rate cuts, rising Treasury yields, corporate earnings and uncertainty surrounding theupcoming U.S. election.
"Price action speaks to a market that was overly rich and well-owned, and as the cracks started to emerge the signal was there for others to follow," said Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone.
Moves were likely exacerbated as traders moved to hedge their losses, Weston said.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury eased slightly on the day, but was still trading around its highest since late July.
Shares of Boeing BA.N dropped 2.7% after factory workers voted on Wednesday to reject a contract offer and continue a more than five-week strike that has seen the company's losses soar.
Meanwhile, investor focus returned to the earnings season, with UPS UPS.N adding 6.7% after the parcel service provider reported a rise in third-quarterprofit on rebounding volumes and cost cuts. Rival FedEx FDX.N was up 2.1%.
Southwest Airlines LUV.N rose 5.5% after reporting a surprise profit in the third quarter, while Honeywell International HON.O was off 2.4% after quarterly results.
IBM IBM.N lost 5% after missing estimates for third-quarter revenue, while gold producer Newmont NEM.N dropped 5.8% as higher costs and weaker Nevada output saw it miss profit estimates.
Around 29% of S&P 500 companies have reported results so far this quarter, according to data compiled by LSEG, with 81% beating earnings estimates.
On the economic front, S&P Global flash PMIs, new home sales for Septemberand weekly jobless claims data are due on the day, along with comments fromCleveland Fed President Beth Hammack.
