Investing.com -- U.S. stock futures edged higher Tuesday, continuing this week’s rebound as investors focus on more quarterly corporate results.

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

  • Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) stock climbed 5.9% after the data analytics and defense software group posted its biggest quarterly revenue total since it went public five years ago, fueled by strong demand from governments and corporations for its artificial intelligence-enhanced services.

  • Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT) stock fell 3% after the heavy equipment manufacturer reported second-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings that fell short of analyst expectations, despite posting better-than-expected revenue.

  • Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) stock gained 1.8% after the drugs giant posted second-quarter earnings and revenue that exceeded analyst estimates and raised its full-year profit outlook.

  • Marriott International (NASDAQ:MAR) stock rose 6.1% after he hotel operator beat expectations for second-quarter earnings, even as it narrowed its full-year earnings outlook, flagging ongoing headwinds from federal government spending cuts and weaker business travel.
  • Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock rose 0.5%, but was still over 20% lower so far in 2025, as sales of the electric vehicle in Germany dropped over 55% in July, compared to the same month last year.

  • BP (NYSE:BP) ADRs rose 2.1% after the oil major reported second-quarter profit that beat analyst expectations, rebounding amid recent volatility in global oil and gas markets.

  • Dupont (NYSE:DD) stock rose 5% after the chemical company beat expectations on top and bottom lines in the second quarter amid continued strength in electronics, healthcare and water end-markets.

  • Leidos (NYSE:LDOS) stock soared 3.1% after the defense and technology contractor reported strong second-quarter results that exceeded analyst expectations, prompting the company to raise its full-year guidance.

  • Hims Hers Health (NYSE:HIMS) fell 12% after the telehealth company missed estimates for second-quarter revenue, as subscribers for its compounded versions of weight-loss drugs declined.

  • Inspire Medical (TASE:BLWV) Systems (NYSE:INSP) stock sank 27% after the healthcare company’s second-quarter earnings failed to impress investors.
