Dow Jones Futures Today
Dow Jones futures lost a fraction vs. fair value. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures fell 0.1%. The 10-year Treasury yield edged up to 4.5%. Remember that overnight action in Dow futures and elsewhere doesn’t necessarily translate into actual trading in the next regular stock market session.

The small-cap Russell 2000 fell 0.6%, but closed near session highs after finding support near the 50-day line.
Key Earnings
Arm earnings beat fiscal Q4 views easily. The AI and wireless chip play guided up slightly on fiscal Q1, but its full-year revenue forecast for a little light. Duolingo earnings topped consensus but guidance wasn’t great. AppLovin earnings and guidance were strong. Robinhood earnings easily beat views, fueled by crypto trading.
Conclusion
The stock market rally is showing constructive action, with the major indexes trading tightly for the past two sessions after solid gains. There are stocks flashing buy signals. Investors can be adding exposure here. Earnings season remains treacherous for individual names. Consider that as you mull buys and sells. Keep your watchlists up to date. A market pause could create a number of handles, while stocks that keep rising will show relative strength quickly.
