Markets Fall Again as Amazon Earnings Heighten Tech Fears. Stock Futures Slide.

February 6, 2026

Stocks looked set to fall for a fourth day in a row on Friday after online retailer and cloud computing company Amazon reported weaker-than-expected earnings, creating more worries for tech.

Futures tracking the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 44 points, or 0.1%. S&P 500 futures fell 0.2%, and contracts tied to the Nasdaq 100 dropped 0.5%.

The three indexes have been tumbling since Tuesday, when Wall Street started panicking about artificial intelligence usurping software companies. Google parent Alphabet outlined a plan to double its capital spending late Wednesday, giving the market another reason to fret.
