AI Valuation Worries Persist After AMD Earnings

U.S. stock futures are slightly lower in premarket trading as valuation concerns around the artificial intelligence trade persisted after chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) posted its latest quarterly results.

AMD is down 2.7% after it issued margin guidance that only met analyst expectations. The moves come after stocks sold off on Tuesday that were triggered by a fall in tech stocks led by a 9% loss in Palantir (PLTR) shares.

Investors will continue to watch earnings fallout today along with the ADP employment report and services data.
