Futures point to higher open ahead of NVIDIA's earnings
Market is Closed
[BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: +27.00. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +116.00.

The stock market remains poised for a higher opening this morning, as mega-cap and tech names are largely on pace to extend their bounce off of Monday's lows. 

Several consequential earnings reports await after the close, including the market's weightiest name, NVIDIA (NVDA 194.55, +1.70, +0.9%). While the mega-cap group has largely struggled so far in 2026 (The Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF is down 5.7% year-to-date), semiconductor names have continued last year's trend of outperformance, with the PHLX Semiconductor Index rising 17.6% year-to-date. 

NVIDIA itself is somewhere in between, up a more modest 3.4% year to date.
