Stock futures were falling Tuesday ahead of a raft of earnings reports this week from big-name retailers. Markets also were digesting monitoring developments around the war in Ukraine and the prospects of a resolution.

These stocks were making moves in premarket trading Tuesday:

Intel rose 6.3% trading after an announcement that SoftBank would invest $2 billion in the chip maker. That followed a decline of 3.7% in the stock Monday following reports that said Trump administration officials were discussing taking a 10% stake in the company. A 10% stake would make the government one of the company's largest shareholders.

Palo Alto Networks rose 5.6% after reporting fiscal fourth-quarter earnings that topped analysts' estimates and issuing first-quarter and fiscal 2026 guidance that also was better than forecasts. The cybersecurity company said it expects adjusted profit in the fiscal year of $3.75 to $3.85 a share, better than consensus of $3.68. Palo Alto also sees fiscal 2026 next-generation security annual recurring revenue of $7 billion to $7.1 billion for year-over-year growth of between 26% and 27%.

Cybersecurity rivals CrowdStrike, Fortinet, and Zscaler were edging higher in the premarket session.

Fabrinet, the contract electronics manufacturer, reported fiscal fourth-quarter earnings and revenuethat beat expectations. It also forecast current-quarter revenue of between $910 million and $950 million, higher than analysts' estimates at the midpoint. The stock, however, declined 9.7%.

XPeng was rising 1% after the Chinese maker of electric vehicles posted a second-quarter loss that narrowed from a year earlier as revenue rose 125% from a year earlier.

Tegna jumped 12% after The Wall Street Journal reported Sinclair offered to merge its broadcast TV business with Tegna. The Journal report cited people familiar with the matter. The interest comes as Tegna already is in advanced talks to sell itself to Nexstar Media Group, which the Journal reported earlier this month.

Earnings reports are expected Tuesday from Home Depot, Medtronic, Alcon, Keysight Technologies, Viking Holdings, Amer Sports, and Toll Brothers.

Home Depot rose 0.5% ahead of its quarterly earnings report expected early Tuesday. A weak spring selling season for the housing market means it likely was another tough quarter for the giant home-improvement retailer. Analysts expect Home Depot to report second-quarter adjusted earnings of $4.72 a share on sales of $45.4 billion.
