With U.S. stock futures trading mixed Wednesday morning, here's what's likely to grab investor attention as the market opens and closes today.

Earnings on Deck

Chewy Inc. (CHWY) is expected to report quarterly earnings of 12 cents per share on revenue of $3.10 billion before the opening bell, according to data from Benzinga Pro. The pet supplies retailer saw its shares edge up 0.9% to $35.16 in after-hours trading as investors positioned ahead of the results.

Braze Inc. (BRZE) already delivered the goods, posting better-than-expected third-quarter revenue and raising its fiscal 2026 guidance. The customer engagement platform reported quarterly revenue of $190.84 million, beating Street estimates of $184.08 million, according to Benzinga Pro data. Investors liked what they saw—shares surged 11.3% to $34.10 in after-hours trading.

Adobe Inc. (ADBE) is on tap for after the closing bell, with analysts expecting quarterly earnings of $5.39 per share on revenue of $6.11 billion. The software giant's shares ticked up 0.3% to $345.18 in after-hours trading as the market waits to see if Adobe can meet expectations.

GE Vernova Makes Bold Moves

GE Vernova Inc. (GEV) came out swinging with a series of shareholder-friendly announcements that lit up the after-hours session. The energy technology company doubled its quarterly dividend to 50 cents per share, payable in the first quarter of 2026. But that wasn't all—the board also expanded its share repurchase authorization to $10 billion from $6 billion previously.

The announcements came during the company's 2025 Investor Update event, where GE Vernova also raised its multi-year outlook with strong guidance extending through 2028. The market clearly approved, sending shares jumping 6.3% to $664.50 in after-hours trading.

Oracle Waits in the Wings

Rounding out the day, Oracle Corp. (ORCL) is expected to report quarterly earnings of $1.64 per share on revenue of $16.22 billion after the closing bell. The cloud computing and database giant saw its shares gain 0.8% to $223.31 in after-hours trading ahead of the report.
