5 Things to Know Before the Stock Market Opens

U.S. stock futures are pointing higher after indexes rallied Thursday on news of a U.S. trade deal with the U.K.; bitcoin surges back above $100,000; Expedia Group (EXPE) stock plunges in premarket trading after the company warns of weak U.S. travel demand; Pinterest (PINS) shares are jumping after the social media site’s revenue and monthly active user figures top estimates; and shares of Affirm Holdings (AFRM) fall after the Buy Now, Pay Later firm delivers an underwhelming current-quarter revenue outlook. Here’s what investors need to know today.

1. US Stock Futures Point Higher Following Rally on UK Trade Deal

U.S. stock futures are pointing higher after indexes surged in the prior session on President Donald Trump’s announcement of a trade deal with the United Kingdom. Nasdaq futures are 0.3% higher after the tech-heavy index added 1.1% yesterday, while S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average futures also are slightly higher after those indexes added 0.6% Thursday. Oil and gold futures also are rising. Yields on the 10-year Treasury note are little changed.

2. Bitcoin Surges Back Above $100,000 Threshold

Bitcoin (BTCUSD) is surging more than 2% to trade near $103,000 as the cryptocurrency moved above the $100,000 level for the first time since February. The rise comes after the cryptocurrency fell sharply between February and April amid tariffs uncertainty. With the latest surge, bitcoin is nearly 40% above last month’s low and up 10% since the start of the year. Some cryptocurrency stocks are advancing in premarket trading, with bitcoin buyer Strategy (MSTR) moving up by nearly 2%, while miner Riot Platforms (RIOT) is similarly higher. Coinbase (COIN) shares are more than 1% lower after the cryptocurrency exchange posted underwhelming earnings.

3. Expedia Stock Sinks on Weak US Travel Demand Warning

Expedia Group (EXPE) stock is dropping 10% in premarket trading after the travel booking service’s first-quarter results came in worse than expected and it lowered its full-year outlook amid weak U.S. demand. The company reported revenue of $2.99 billion and $31.45 billion in total bookings, both up from last year but below what analysts surveyed by Visible Alpha had projected. The company trimmed its full-year forecast for both metrics to 2% to 4% growth from 4% to 6%. CEO Ariane Gorin said Expedia managed to grow bookings and revenue “despite weaker than expected demand in the U.S.” as consumer sentiment has worsened amid tariff-fueled uncertainty.

4. Pinterest Stock Surges as Revenue, Active Users Top Estimates

Pinterest (PINS) shares are up by 14% in premarket trading after the social media site reported first-quarter revenue and global active monthly user figures that came in above analysts’ estimates. The company reported earnings per share of $0.01 on revenue that increased 17% year-over-year on a constant currency basis to $855.0 million, both above Visible Alpha consensus. The firm’s monthly active users increased 10% to a record 570 million, also topping estimates. Pinterest shares entered Friday down 4% year-to-date.

5. Affirm Stock Falls on Soft Revenue Outlook

Shares of Affirm Holdings (AFRM) are falling more than 6% in premarket trading after the Buy Now, Pay Later firm delivered a weak current-quarter revenue outlook. The company also projected second-quarter revenue between $815 million and $845 million, with the midpoint coming in below estimates of analysts surveyed by Visible Alpha. Its first-quarter revenue of $783.1 million also came up short. However, Affirm reported profit of a penny per share when a loss of 2 cents per share was expected, and gross merchandise volume of $8.6 billion also topped projections.
