NVDA Earnings on Deck
U.S. stock futures are relatively flat ahead of the Wall Street open after a late session rally pushed equities higher on Tuesday.
All eyes are on Nvidia (NVDA) today which reports earnings after the closing bell. Nvidia has the biggest weight in the S&P 500 (SPX, SPY) and Nasdaq-100 (NDX, QQQ) and is considered the bellwether in the broader market and the tech sector.
The chipmaker has beaten earnings expectations in 11 of past 12 quarterly reports, but the stock has had a downbeat post-earnings reaction four of those times, according to FactSet.
