Walmart, Coty and Johnson & Johnson fall premarket; Boeing rises

Investing.com -- U.S. stock futures slipped marginally lower Thursday, as investors awaited the start of the Federal Reserve’s Jackson Hole symposium as well as more labor market data.

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

• Walmart (NYSE:WMT) stock fell 2.7% after the retail giant reported mixed second-quarter results, with revenue exceeding expectations but earnings falling short of analyst estimates. The retail giant also raised its full-year sales and earnings outlook, signaling confidence in its growth trajectory despite near-term challenges.

• Coty (NYSE:COTY) stock slumped 21% after the beauty retailer forecast a weak first half of fiscal year of 2026 with declines in both sales and profit.

• Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) stock fell 0.4% after the drugmaker said it would invest $2 billion in North Carolina as it aims to expand its U.S. manufacturing presence amid looming drug import duties proposed by the Trump administration.

• Boeing (NYSE:BA) stock rose 1.5% following a Bloomberg report that the aerospace giant is nearing a deal to sell as many as 500 aircraft to China.

• Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock fell 0.1% after the Handelsblatt newspaper reported that the EV manufacturer has since Monday evacuated part of its plant in Germany after a fire broke out in a building processing battery packs.

• Aegon (AS:AEGN) (NYSE:AEG) ADRs rose 5.5% after the Dutch insurer doubled the planned value of its ongoing share buyback program, which it aims to conclude by the end of 2025, and said it was studying the possibility of moving its head office into the United States. It also announced a nearly 20% increase in its interim dividend.

• Bilibili (NASDAQ:BILI) stock fell 2% after the Chinese online video sharing website reported a return to profitability in the second quarter of 2025, but this still failed to impress investors.

• CoreWeave rose 3% after the trading firm Jane Street Group reported it has a 5.4% passive stake in the AI infrastructure firm, which is backed by Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA).

• Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE:HPE) stock fell 3% after Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) upgraded its stance on the information technology company to ‘overweight’ from ‘equal-weight’, saying the recently-closed Juniper deal will be an earnings upside.

• Alcon (NYSE:ALC) stock fell 3.7% after JP Morgan cut its rating on the medical device company to ‘neutral’ from ‘overweight’, citing weaker-than-expected performance and reduced earnings visibility.
