Wall Street Ticks Higher After SpaceX Helps Lift AI Stocks

SpaceX’s stronger profit and 161% revenue growth renewed interest in AI-linked stocks, while Netflix’s revenue outlook fell short of analysts’ estimates.

  • On Wednesday, U.S. Futures ticked higher as Wall Street digested strong profit reports from SpaceX and Capital One Financial, while earnings from Netflix and AT&T disappointed investors.
  • Big expectations for earnings growth pushed the U.S. stock market to record highs, though inflation and higher interest rates continue weighing on the market and limiting investor confidence.
  • SpaceX jumped 10% after reporting a stronger profit for the summer than analysts expected, while Netflix shares dropped more than 6% after lowering ad sales guidance.
  • Oil prices soared as risks of transiting the Strait of Hormuz drove energy costs higher, with Brent crude jumping 1.3% to $110.21 per barrel Wednesday.
  • Investors remain focused on earnings reports from Meta and Tesla expected later Wednesday, as market participants gauge whether corporate profits justify recent record stock valuations.
