The bulk of U.S. stock futures were higher on Thursday evening, after a strong day for key benchmark indexes, as earnings releases from large technology companies boosted risk appetite.


At 7:10pm ET (11:00pm GMT), Dow Jones Futures remained steady, while S&P 500 Futures and Nasdaq 100 Futures increased 0.4% and 1.1%, respectively.


Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) rose 3 percent in extended trade after posting Q3 earnings per share of $1.20, above estimates of $1.16, and revenue of $82.96 billion, vs $82.59 billion expected.


Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) surged 13.6% after reporting Q2 losses of $0.20 per share, $0.33 worse than the consensus forecast of $0.13. The actual revenue was $121.23 billion, as opposed to the anticipated $119.18 billion.
