Investing.com - U.S. stock futures edged higher on Monday, pointing to a slight rebound from declines last week, as investors looked ahead to a high-profile quarterly earnings report from Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA).

Here are some of the biggest premarket U.S. stock movers today:

  • Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRKb) reported a third-straight all-time peak in full-year profits and lifted its cash stake up to $334.2 billion, with analysts noting strength in insurance underwriting. Shares in the company moved higher.
  • Alibaba Group (NYSE:BABA) (HK:9988) announced plans on Monday to invest 380 billion yuan ($52.4 billion) over the next three years to boost its cloud computing and artificial intelligence infrastructure, marking its largest technology investment to date. U.S.-listed shares in the e-commerce giant edged lower.
  • Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) shares inched down after the iPhone manufacturer announced it would hire 20,000 new workers and produce AI servers in the U.S.
  • Hawaiian Electric (NYSE:HE) slumped after the utility reported a fourth-quarter net loss. The firm previously signed settlement agreements linked to devastating wildfires in Maui in 2023.
