Market looks towards earnings for reprieve
Dow -841.71 at 48516.41, Nasdaq -562.08 at 22953.34, S&P -144.22 at 6795.78

[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (-2.0%), Nasdaq Composite (-2.4%), and DJIA (-1.7%) continue to slide late in the session. 

The market will now look to this afternoon's batch of earnings reports to turn around today's slide. 

Netflix (NFLX 88.03, +0.03, +0.03%), which is not one of the more prominent names, is little changed shortly before the close. This will be the first look at the company's FY26 expectations, and guidance is likely the key driver of the post-earnings reaction, particularly around revenue growth, operating margin trajectory, and content spend.

Meanwhile, United Airlines (UAL 108.26, -5.22, -4.60%) is sharply lower amid a tough day for airline stocks.
