In the evening session on Wednesday, U.S. stock futures traded lower as major benchmark indices ended a five-day winning streak and risk sentiment deteriorated as Federal Reserve members signaled extra rate hikes to combat inflation.


Dow Jones Futures, S&P 500 Futures, and Nasdaq 100 Futures all down by 0.1% by 7:00 p.m. ET (11:00 p.m. GMT), while Nasdaq 100 Futures declined by 0.2%.


Wolfspeed Inc (NYSE:WOLF) rose 18.6% in extended trade after reporting Q4 losses of $0.02 per share, which were better than the average expectation of $0.10. Rather than the anticipated $209.31 million, the actual revenue was $228.5 million.


Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO) rose 4.5% after reporting fourth-quarter earnings per share of $0.83 versus the average estimate of $0.82 and revenue of $13.1 billion versus the consensus estimate of $12.73 billion.


Bath & Body Works Inc. (NYSE:BBWI) declined 2.1% after posting second-quarter earnings per share of $0.52, which was above the consensus estimate of $0.44, and revenues of $1.62 billion, which were in line with forecasts.
