April 24 (Reuters) - Futures tied to the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq rose on Wednesday, with Tesla at the helm of gains after its quarterly results, while most megacap growth names also offered support.
Tesla TSLA.O led gains across megacap stocks with a 12.8% jump in premarket trading after the electric-vehicle maker eased some worries about growth with a prediction that sales would rise this year and said it would roll out more affordable models in early 2025.
Other growth stocks also advanced, with Amazon.com AMZN.O, Microsoft MSFT.O and Nvidia NVDA.O up between 0.4% and 2.2%.

Wabtec WAB.Nadvanced 4.4% after the heavy industrial parts maker raised its full-year profit forecast.

Meta, Microsoft and Alphabet GOOGL.O are scheduled to report their quarterly results later this week.
"The large volume of company results this week gives investors a lot more to focus on than purely macro events, which is leading to the extra levels of market vitality," Sophie Lund-Yates, lead equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said in a note.
Adjusted blended earnings are estimated to grow by 6% for the quarter on a year-on-year basis, according to LSEG data.
U.S. equities have recouped some losses following last week's slump when investors turned risk-off amid tensions in the Middle East and more data prompting a tuning to their rate-cut expectations from the Federal Reserve.
On the docket for the day is the durable goods data for March, due at 8:30 a.m. ET, with the much anticipated Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index reading for March, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, due on Friday.
