US STOCKS-Nasdaq Futures Lead Gains as SpaceX, Super Micro Results Lift AI Stocks
SpaceX’s first profit and Super Micro’s upbeat outlook eased worries about AI spending, while Netflix fell more than 6% on a weak forecast.
Nasdaq futures rose Wednesday following strong quarterly results from SpaceX and Super Micro Computer, which revived investor appetite for AI-linked stocks after recent sector weakness.
SpaceX founder Elon Musk dismissed AI overcapacity concerns as "ridiculous" on the earnings call, with Super Intelligence revenue surging 830% to $7.6 billion year-over-year.
Super Micro jumped 12.7% after forecasting quarterly revenue above Wall Street estimates, signaling that AI infrastructure demand remained resilient despite recent volatility.
Netflix shares fell over 6% after the streaming giant issued a weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter profit forecast, tempering the broader market's AI-driven gains.
SpaceX guided for $35 billion to $40 billion in capital expenditures for 2026, while Musk stated confidence in bringing 10 gigawatts of incremental compute online in 2027.
