Investing.com -- U.S. stock futures slipped lower Wednesday ahead of the release of more quarterly earnings reports, as well as an important producer prices report.

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

  • Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) stock rose 1.1% after the investment bank’s profit jumped in the second quarter, as turbulent markets lifted equities trading revenue to a record and a pickup in dealmaking boosted investment banking.

  • Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) stock fell 0.5% despite the banking giant’s profit climbing as market volatility buoyed its trading desk.

  • Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) stock rose 2.5% after the pharmaceutical giant lifted its full-year sales forecast, even as headwinds loom from potential U.S. tariffs on some of its imports.

  • Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) stock gained 1.3% after the lender’s profit rose in the second quarter as its trading desks brought in more revenue from tumultuous markets in the second three-month period.

  • Global Payments (NYSE:GPN) stock rose 5.3% after the Financial Times reported that activist investor Elliott Management has added to its stake in the financial technology company.

  • ASML (AS:ASML) (NASDAQ:ASML) ADRs fell 7% after the Dutch semiconductor equipment supplier warned that it may not achieve growth in 2026, even though its second-quarter bookings topped estimates.

  • Omnicom (NYSE:OMC) stock rose 0.3% after the media company’s second-quarter results surpassed analyst estimates on the top and bottom line.

  • AstraZeneca (NASDAQ:AZN) ADRs fell 0.9% after the drugmaker’s experimental therapy anselamimab did not meet the main goal of a late-stage study.

  • Brighthouse Financial (NASDAQ:BHF) stock climbed 9.6% after the Wall Street Journal reported Aquarian is in exclusive talks to buy the provider of annuities and life insurance.
