The US stock futures market showed an uncertain performance in the trading session on Friday as investors assessed the impact of major companies' newly released earnings reports.
In terms of the performance of the main indices, the S&P 500 fell 0.13% to 9.02 points, while the Nasdaq Composite declined 0.72% to 172.33 points.
In contrast, the Dow Jones rose 0.11% to 55.96 points.
In other developments, Apple shares rose about 0.6% after the company beat expectations for its fiscal first-quarter earnings, supported by stronger iPhone sales.
Meanwhile, Sandisk shares jumped nearly 15% following the encouraging performance guidance.
In contrast, KLA Corp shares fell more than 8% after announcing a lower-than-market non-GAAP gross margin forecast for the fiscal third quarter.
Microsoft shares fell 10% after the firm signaled broader public cloud growth, triggering broader losses in the software sector.
The fall comes as investors weigh the potential revenue from artificial intelligence (AI) against higher capital spending needs.
Market focus now shifts to earnings reports from other big companies including Exxon, Chevron, American Express and Verizon.
