Trading on Wall Street was mixed in the early going following a third straight losing session, as major U.S. companies continued to report their most recent financial results. Futures for the S&P 500 rose 0.5% before the bell, while futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 0.1%.
Tesla emerged as a big winner overnight, gaining nearly 14% after reporting a jump in third-quarter profit driven by stronger electric vehicle sales. CEO Elon Musk predicted 20% to 30% sales growth for the next year, despite challenges faced by the broader EV sector.
