July 24 (Reuters) - Wall Street futures fell onWednesday, with those tracking the tech-heavy Nasdaq recording the steepest losses after weak quarterlyearnings from Tesla and Alphabet, as investors questionedthe dominance of Big Tech and euphoria around AI.
Tesla TSLA.O slumped 8% inpremarket trading and looked set to lose roughly $60 billion in market value, if losses hold, after the EV maker reportedits lowest profit margin in over five years and missed expectations for second-quarter earnings.
Google parent Alphabet GOOGL.O, too, shed 3.1% despite beatingexpectations for second-quarter revenue and profit, as investors focused on a slowdown in advertising growth and the company flagged high capital expenses for the year.
Alphabet's losses underscore the high earnings bar for the so-called Magnificent Seven, the set of megacap tech stocks that have notched double- to triple-digit percentage gains so far in 2024, riding on optimism around AI adoption and an early start to Federal Reserve rate cuts.
"The first view on Big Tech earnings wasn't inspiring," said Ipek Ozkardeskaya, senior analyst at Swissquote Bank.
"Two of the Magnificent Seven stocks failed to create euphoria when they reported their Q2 results. The less-than-ideal set of earnings comes at a time when investors are questioning whether the AI rally has gotten ahead of itself."
Results from the tech giants, which have driven broader indexes to all-time highs over the first half of the year, will be key to determine if the Wall Street rally has steam to spare, even as marketparticipants have grownwary of thevaluation of these companies and started shifting tounderperforming sectors.
Other megacaps such as MicrosoftMSFT.O, Amazon.com AMZN.O, Meta Platforms META.O and Nvidia NVDA.O were down between 0.3% and 2.2%.
Wall Street's main indexes had closed lower on Tuesday, although the Russell 2000 .RUT ended 1% higher. Futures tracking the small-cap index RTYcv1 fell 0.3% on Wednesday.
Later in the day, investors will parse the S&P Global's flash PMI and new home sales numbers. But the key economic release of the week isFriday's personal consumption expenditures data, which can corroborate if market bets on the monetary policy path are headed in the right direction.
Traders have priced in a nearly 92% chance the U.S. Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25basis points by its September meeting and expect two rate cuts this year, according toLSEG data.
At 6:54 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis 1YMcv1 were down 170 points, or 0.42%, S&P 500 e-minis EScv1 were down 38.75 points, or 0.69%, and Nasdaq 100 e-minis NQcv1 were down 207 points, or 1.04%.
In otherearnings, AT&T T.N gained3.1% after beating forecasts forwireless subscriber additions in the second quarter, as the telecom operator's higher-tier unlimited plans attracted customers.
Solar inverter maker Enphase Energy ENPH.O jumped 5.7% after beating estimates for second-quarter operating profit, while Texas Instruments TXN.O rose 2.8% after a second-quarter profit beat.
VisaV.N dropped 3.4% after its third-quarter revenue growth fell short of expectations, a rare miss for the world's largest payments processor, while Thermo Fisher Scientific TMO.N dropped3% after results.
Meanwhile,shares of Rivian Automotive RIVN.O fell3.3% as theEV maker will go on trial over allegations it encouraged its employees who defected from Tesla to steal trade secrets.
