Earnings Misses

AZZ Q2 2025 Adj. EPS $1.37 Beats $1.32 Estimate, Sales $409.007M Miss $411.797M Estimate

See-sawing mood persists on Wall Street as the index futures point to a marginally lower start on Wednesday after the tech-led rebound witnessed in the previous session. Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is advancing in premarket and the rest of the big techs were just about higher. Commodities are weakening and bond yields are easing. Federal Reserve&#8217;s September rate-setting meeting minutes, speeches by Fed officials and developments around Hurricane Milton&#8217;s landfall in Florida could be on traders&#8217; radar.
Some may choose to move to the sidelines ahead of Thursday&#8217;s consumer price inflation report which is expected to show a further easing in pricing pressure. Some key earnings reports are also expected to drop over the next two sessions, which is likely to give early indications regarding how this reporting season will pan out.
