What happened
U.S. stock futures retreated as investors reassessed the cost and payoff of artificial intelligence investment at Meta and Tesla Platforms. Meta reported third-quarter revenue of $64.60 billion, but set its 2026 spending range at $135 billion to $145 billion, raising the lower end. Separately, Tesla reported third-quarter revenue of about $28.0 billion and revised its 2026 capital spending guidance to about $20 billion, down from a prior projection above $25 billion.

Why it matters
The market is reacting to signals from the Federal Reserve regarding borrowing costs, alongside quarterly earnings releases from major technology companies. Meta's expanded AI spending outlook raised fears that hyperscaler financing could slow major equipment orders, affecting suppliers like GE Vernova and Vertiv Holdings.
