Stock futures were falling Tuesday after Neel Kashkari, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, told The Wall Street Journal that the central bank still has work to do to bring inflation down to its target of 2%, denting rising hopes the Fed was done hiking interest rates.
Wall Street was entering Tuesday with the
S&P 500
closing higher for a sixth-straight session and the
Nasdaq Composite
posting its seventh-straight day of gains, the longest streak since January.
These stocks were poised to make moves Tuesday:
Uber Technologies
(UBER) reported its second-ever operating profit in the third quarter, but revenue of $9.3 billion missed analysts’ estimates of $9.5 billion. The company also reported third-quarter gross bookings of $35.3 billion, above Wall Street estimates of $34.6 billion and an increase of 21% from $29.1 billion a year earlier. The stock was up 1% in premarket trading.
D.R. Horton
(DHI), the largest publicly traded home builder in the U.S., reported fiscal fourth-quarter earnings of $4.45 a share on revenue of $10.5 billion. Analysts had expected the company to report earnings of $3.94 a share on revenue of $10 billion.
D.R. Horton
also raised its quarterly dividend to 30 cents a share from 25 cents. The stock was up slightly.
Datadog
(DDOG) jumped 24% after the security software provider topped third-quarter profit expectations and issued a solid outlook driven by more customers transitioning to the cloud.
Alteryx
(AYX) was rising 18% after the software company reported a narrower-than-expected third-quarter loss and sales of $232 million that beat analysts’ estimates.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals
(VRTX) reported third-quarter adjusted earnings of $4.08 a share, topping Wall Street expectations of $3.92. Revenue rose 6% to $2.48 billion but just missed forecasts.
Vertex
said the revenue gains primarily were driven by the “continued performance” of its cystic fibrosis drug Trikafta in the U.S. Vertex raised its full-year guidance for cystic-fibrosis product revenue to $9.85 billion, versus prior guidance of $9.7 billion to $9.8 billion. The stock declined 1.2%.

UBS
(UBS) reported a third-quarter loss primarily on costs related to the integration of Credit Suisse. But shares of the Swiss bank were rising 2.1% after UBS reported that revenue jumped 42% to nearly $11.7 billion and topped expectations. UBS closed its acquisition of Credit Suisse in June.
