Stock index futures seesawed on Thursday, a day after Wall Street closed in the green after President Donald Trump denied reports of planning to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Here are four stocks to keep an eye on:

U.S. Bancorp (USB) shares were down 4% in premarket trade after the bank issued soft Q3 guidance, following lower-than-expected revenue and net interest income in its Q2 2025. The bank reaffirmed its FY2025 guidance of net revenue growth.

Abbott Laboratories (ABT) stock fell 4.1% before the opening bell after the MedTech company provided its guidance for the third quarter slightly below consensus following a mixed earnings report for Q2.

GE Aerospace (GE) rose 1.3% in premarket trade after beating estimates for Q2 adjusted earnings and revenues and raising its full-year financial guidance. The stock is poised to exceed the firm’s all-time intraday high of $266.86 set in the previous session. For FY 2025, GE (GE) said it now expects adjusted EPS of $5.60-$5.80, up from previous guidance of $5.10-$5.45.

Netflix (NFLX) stock will be under the radar as the company will post its second-quarter results on Thursday; investors would want to see higher pricing actions and an improving advertising market to bump up sales for the streaming giant. The firm is expected to report an EPS of $7.09 on revenue of $11.06 billion.
