Stock futures set up for a soft start Thursday, with earnings reports from JPMorgan ( JPM ) and Citigroup ( C ) providing a focal point for early action.
[ibd-display-video id=2350371 width=50 float=left autostart=true] Futures for the Dow Jones industrial average, the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 traded less than 0.1% below fair value.
The Dow heads into Thursday's session up 0.5% for the week, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq up 0.2% apiece. The Dow and the S&P 500 are each angling for their fifth straight weekly advance.
JPMorgan Down On Investment Slip, Citibank Lower
On the Dow, Cisco Systems ( CSCO ) stumbled 1.4% in early trade and JPMorgan was headed lower, down 0.8% after reporting third quarter sales and earnings comfortably above analysts' targets. But a 2% drop in investment banking revenue and a 16% diver in markets and investor services revenue spooked investors.
JPMorgan shares ended Wednesday in a buy range, above a flat base buy point at 95.32.
American Express ( AXP ) was among the few early gainers on the Dow, up 0.2%.
Citigroup dipped 0.5% ahead of its third quarter release, scheduled for 8 a.m. ET.
Apple ( AAPL ) dipped 0.1% and three of four FANG stocks traded flat to lower. Amazon.com (AMZN) ticked 0.1% higher. The online juggernaut announced plans to add 120,000 employees for the holiday season. The release said thousands of temporary workers were converted to full-time employment after last year's holiday season, and it expects similar results at the start of 2018.
Amazon shares ended Wednesday back above support at their 10-week moving average, up 7% from a late September low and working to build the right side of a possible three-month base pattern .
Among IBD 50 stocks , Atlassian (TEAM) climbed 0.9% in premarket trade. The specialist in collaboration and team integration software development ended Wednesday in a buy range after topping a 39.35 buy point in a flat base.
Ulta Beauty (ULTA) dropped 3%, to the bottom of the Nasdaq 100 list. Network security provider Juniper Networks (JNPR) tumbled 6%, the S&P 500's worst decline, after Institnet cut the stock's rating to neutral, from buy.
Blackhawk Network (HAWK) dived 9% ahead of the open. The credit card payment processor reported mixed third-quarter results, and offered Q4 revenue guidance below consensus views. The move implied an open sharply below the stock's 10-week moving average, which would send a sell signal. Not all premarket moves hold up after the starting bell.
