Traders work at the New York Stock Exchange on Feb. 10, 2026. NYSE Stock futures were roughly flat Thursday night after a downbeat day for the U.S. stock market. Traders also looked ahead to a key consumer inflation report due Friday morning. S&P 500 futures advanced 0.02%, while Nasdaq 100 futures gained 0.04%. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average were little changed. In after-hours trading, semiconductor giant Applied Materials jumped 13% on the back of strong earnings results and encouraging outlook. Airbnb shares rose about 4% as investors cheered the rental company's upbeat guidance . Pinterest slipped 17% on fourth-quarter results that missed expectations, as well as a weak forecast.
