  2. Down 2.7% before the bell, Dow member Boeing Co (NYSE:BA) is once again making headlines, after news the company's machinery employees rejected the latest bid to end the worker's strike, which is now in its sixth week. Boeing  also yesterday posted a lackluster Q3 report. In 2024, BA has shed almost 40%.
  3. Shares of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) are 13% higher ahead of the open, after the company's third-quarter earnings beat and revenue miss. Should these gains hold, the electric vehicle (EV) maker is primed to breakout above its year-over-year breakeven mark.
  4. Tech behemoth IBM (NYSE:IBM) is 3.4% lower in electronic trading, after posting a third-quarter revenue miss, overshadowing its comfortable earnings beat. Its fourth-quarter outlook came in line with current levels. IBM has been trending notably higher since its late-April post-earnings bear gap.
