Stock futures were little changed on Monday night after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite hit fresh records.
Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average 59 points, or 0.1%. S&P 500 futures added 0.06%, while Nasdaq 100 futures gained 0.03%.
Shares of NXP Semiconductors lost more than 5% in extended trading after the company reported a decline in second-quarter revenue, weighed down by weakness in the automotive market.
Stocks are starting the week off strong. The S&P 500 in the previous session rose about 0.1% and ended the session at 6,305.60, marking the index's first close above the 6,300 level. A rally in tech stocks ahead of quarterly results for key megacap names boosted the Nasdaq Composite by nearly 0.4% for a closing record of 20,974.17. Both indexes hit new all-time intraday highs earlier in the session. The Dow underperformed and ended the day marginally lower.
Investors are now turning to a big week for second-quarter financial results. So far, more than 60 S&P 500 companies have reported, with more than 85% of those topping analysts' estimates, according to FactSet data. Eyes are on commentary from companies about macroeconomic certainty, the impact of tariffs and details on demand and spending related to artificial intelligence.
Philip Morris International, Coca-Cola and Lockheed Martin are just a few of the companies on deck to report earnings results on Tuesday. Google parent Alphabet and Tesla will report Wednesday, kicking off highly anticipated results from the "Magnificent Seven" companies. The mega-cap tech companies are expected to contribute to a significant amount of earnings growth this season.
Given the recent rally in stocks, investors are watching for how far the market can run, with some commenting that valuations already appear stretched. Cetera Investment Management chief investment officer Gene Goldman said that "much of the good news appears to be priced in, leaving little margin for error."
"Markets may have rallied too far, too fast," Goldman added. "After dipping after 'liberation day' to 4,982, the S&P bounced back sharply, in fact – the recovery has been the fastest in nearly 50 years even as 2025 earnings expectations were nearly halved."

Markets jump after Powell rebuffs Trump
The S&P 500 finished 0.4 percent up, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished up 208 points or 0.47 percent. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained about a quarter of percent to close above 21,108. Top gainers on the day included Comfort Systems USA, Bel Fuse, Deckers Outdoor Corp. and IES Holdings, according to Morningstar. The bond market also cooled off Friday. The 10-year Treasury yield finished slightly down after trading higher during the day as did the 30-year. The bond market has exhibited major stresses this year through Trump's trade war. Outflows from long-dated U.S. public and private bond funds reached close to $11 billion in the second quarter, according to a June Financial Times analysis using EPFR data. Friday's gains followed a confrontation between Trump and Powell on Thursday in which Powell repelled an attack from Trump — this time not on social media but on television.
