chu. hey dom. >> hey good morning leslie. good morning mike. good morning andrew. on the big tech names this morning. on the heels of earnings reports yesterday shares of tesla right now regaining some ground after its report up about 1.75%. the ev maker missing on both profit and revenues for the quarter, with automotive revenues dropping 8% on a year over year basis. but tesla's bitcoin holdings leading to a $600 million pop in net income. with recent changes to how companies report digital assets and their values. so tesla shares getting a bit of a boost. they're a little less volatile than we thought it was going to be given the options pricing going in. also, shares of microsoft falling this morning, even as the software giant beats on both profits and revenues for the quarter. but it missed on a few key metrics, cloud revenues falling short of expectations. they also gave softer guidance as well, renewing some concerns on ai spending and growth. so microsoft shares just down about 4% right now. and we'll end on shares of facebook parent meta platforms climbin

andrew weissmann is going to tell us what all of it means. and later, all those devastating wildfires continue to tear through southern california. i'll talk to congresswoman judy chu, who says the devastation in her district is beyond belief. in just the last six days, more than 100,000 people have been forced forced from their homes. more than 12,000 structures have been destroyed. at least 16 people are dead, according to recent numbers, and many more are injured, all as a result of the wildfires tearing through southern california. it is a completely devastating scene. all of the photos, and we're not going to even know the full scope of the impact for some time. it's also a disaster that prompts a lot of questions about how this happened and what can what comes next. we're going to dig into a lot of that today as much as we can. but those are also the kind of questions, perhaps more importantly, that the next president should be spending his time on. i mean, california is the most populous state in the country. any incoming president of either party would drop everything to focus on how to prepare to help when he's inaugurated eight days from now. but that's n

dom chu joins us with a look at what is going on. >> all right. so andrewme you and our cnbc viewers to the cnbc cube. now this is where we're going to go to give you, our viewers and listeners, a new and interesting way to visualize and analyze market data. think of it like a dashboard where we can interact with the nuts and bolts of the market and trading activity on a daily basis. now, so far in 2025, the utility sector has been a laggard, ranking eighth of the 11 s&p 500 sectors. one of the major themes for investors regarding utilities is the amount of power generation that they do through renewable sources. now, s&p global market intelligence helped us run some of the numbers as far as companies within utilities that are concerned in terms of how they generate their power. green and renewable. otherwise, exelon ranks number one in terms of renewable power generation. you follow it up with eversource and also by pg and e, nextera, aos and alliant energy. those particular names, as you're seeing right here on the bottom, are among the biggest renewable

i want to get straight over to dom chu, who's got a look at this morning's pre-market movers. dom. >> all right. so andrewt now highlighted because they're rebounding this morning. it's modest compared to yesterday. but it's still a rebound following that big sell off. as you point out yesterday on that deep sea concern. some analysts like morgan stanley are saying the sell off might have been overblown, even after cutting the target prices of major chip makers, along with nvidia. by the way, remember nvidia lost almost $600 billion in market cap on monday. and for context sake, that's roughly the size in terms of market cap bigger than netflix and roughly the size of unitedhealth. so kind of gives you an idea of what the nvidia market loss was yesterday. nvidia, by the way, now dropping the third most valued company in the world with a market cap of just below $3 trillion that trails behind microsoft in second place. and the openai partner also was hit hard by the deep sea rout just last tuesday. nvidia passed apple closing at $3.5 trillion to apple's 3.35 trillion. apple did reclaim the top title, one o

chu he has a look at this morning's premarket movers. what's driving things today? what's the overall feeling for the market? >> sure. becky, andrewng. we will start things off with a few analyst calls this morning driving some of the action, especially in some do you components. we have barclays upgrading boeing. analysts are seeing momentum on production, also deliveries and cash levels as well. potential light at the end of the tunnel after a very difficult year. barclay's is also upgrading citi group from an overweight to equal weight rating. boeing up about 2%, citi group up nearly that as well. also microsoft, salesforce and snowflake are being named top picks in 2025 over at piper sandler. analysts are seeing these three vendors as best positioned to capitalize on ai trends going into 2025. microsoft up about a percent. sales force down a quarter of a percent and snowflake up 1.5%. abilityists are down grading goldman sachs. saying as capital markets recover the firm's reliance on the global banking and markets revenue limits possible potential momentum going into 2025. goldman shares just about flat in the premarket trade.
