With stock futures trending upward Wednesday morning, investors are watching Dollar Tree, CrowdStrike, Macy's, Box, and Salesforce as earnings reports roll in and guidance shapes trading sentiment.

U.S. stock futures are climbing Wednesday morning, setting the stage for what could be an interesting day as several major companies report earnings or react to after-hours results. Here's what's catching attention.

Wall Street is expecting Dollar Tree Inc. (DLTR) to report quarterly earnings of $1.08 per share on revenue of $4.70 billion before the opening bell, according to data from market sources. The discount retailer's shares ticked up 0.5% to $109.49 in after-hours trading Tuesday, suggesting cautious optimism heading into the print.

CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (CRWD) delivered better-than-expected results for the third quarter and raised its full-year outlook, but investors weren't exactly throwing confetti. The cybersecurity company posted Q3 revenue slightly above $1.23 billion, topping analyst estimates of approximately $1.22 billion. Adjusted earnings came in at 96 cents per share, beating the 94-cent consensus. Despite the solid quarter and improved guidance, CrowdStrike shares slipped 3% to $500.96 in after-hours trading, a reminder that sometimes meeting high expectations isn't quite enough.

Analysts are bracing for Macy's Inc. (M) to post a quarterly loss of 16 cents per share on revenue of $4.60 billion when it reports before the opening bell. The department store chain saw shares rise 1.8% to $23.12 in after-hours trading, perhaps reflecting hopes that the results won't be as grim as feared.

Box Inc. (BOX) had a rougher evening. The cloud content management company reported third quarter earnings that matched expectations, but its fiscal 2026 guidance disappointed. Box projected fiscal 2026 EPS of more than $1.28, falling short of the $1.31 analyst estimate, while revenue guidance of more than $1.18 billion merely met the consensus. Investors weren't thrilled with the cautious outlook, sending shares down 6.1% to $28.34 in extended trading.

Finally, Salesforce Inc. (CRM) is scheduled to report after the closing bell, with analysts expecting quarterly earnings of $2.86 per share on revenue of $10.27 billion. The enterprise software giant's shares edged up 0.6% to $236.00 in after-hours trading as investors await the results.

It's shaping up to be one of those days where the market digests a flood of corporate news and tries to figure out what it all means for the broader economy.
