12 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Moving In Thursday's Pre-Market Session

Wall Street is struggling to find risk-on momentum, with major indexes stuck near the flatline at midday as investors assess the latest earnings reports from mega-cap tech stocks and weaker-than-expected U.S. economic growth in the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/43336153/us-economy-grows-below-q4-estimates-as-consumer-spending-hits-7-quarter-high"> final quarter of 2024.</a>
After Tuesday's rally — which followed a selloff triggered by DeepSeek&#8217;s impact earlier in the week — caution has taken hold, signaling the wounds from the downturn are still fresh.
Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) is among the hardest-hit stocks, plunging more than 6%, which could mark its worst daily decline<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43333060/msft-stock-declines-over-4-in-premarket-after-q2-results-ceo-satya-nadella-says-deepseek-has-some-r"> since October 2022</a>.
Despite reporting overall stronger-than-expected earnings, Microsoft&#8217;s cloud segment, Azure, fell short of growth expectations, and the company slightly missed its revenue guidance for the ongoing quarter.
In contrast, Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) climbed 1.7% post-earnings, reaching new all-time highs.
Another major laggard was United Parcel Service Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>), which plummeted 15%, potentially heading for its worst single-day drop <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43335015/ups-q4-earnings-major-customer-volume-cut-raises-jitters-stock-tanks">since going public in 2002</a>.
UPS Chief Financial Officer Brian Dykes revealed during the earnings call the company reached an agreement in principle with Amazon.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) to significantly cut the volume of packages it handles for the e-commerce giant, aiming for a 50% reduction by the second half of 2026.
The U.S. dollar and bond yields remained stable following the Federal Reserve's decision Wednesday to keep interest rates unchanged at 4.25%-4.5%.
Among commodities, precious metals stood out, with gold rising 1.4% to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/01/43348204/gold-hits-record-high-as-central-banks-ease-stance-5-mining-stocks-rally">new all-time highs </a>and silver climbing 2.4%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) edged up 1% to around $105,000.
