Pre-market stock futures are trading lower on Tuesday, following a volatile session on Monday. The technology sector saw a major reversal after an early sell-off triggered by news that Iran was halting peace negotiations and threatening to block the Strait of Hormuz. All major indices dipped into the red by noon, but a strong rebound erased most of those losses by the close. Traders are now digesting a fresh batch of analyst research calls that highlight key movers across tech, industrials, and real estate.
Among the notable upgrades, CoreWeave received a bullish call from analysts citing strong demand for its cloud infrastructure services. Danaher was also in focus, with analysts pointing to resilient life sciences demand. Hewlett Packard Enterprise saw a price target increase on expectations of AI-driven server growth. Intuit was upgraded on the back of its small business software momentum, while Knight-Swift Transportation was highlighted for its pricing power in a tight freight market.
Meta Platforms remained a top pick for several firms, with analysts confident in its advertising revenue recovery. Starwood Property Trust drew attention after a downgrade, with concerns over commercial real estate exposure. Tripadvisor was upgraded, with analysts betting on a travel rebound and cost-cutting measures.
Investors are now watching for further geopolitical developments and earnings reports later this week.
