Here are five key things investors need to know to start the trading day:
1. Markets

Semiconductor equipment maker ASML mistakenly released its earnings report a day early, reporting a disappointing forecast in sales. While net sales of 7.5 billion euros ($8.17 billion) beat the LSEG consensus expectation, the company said net bookings for the third quarter came in at 2.6 billion euros ($2.83 billion), well below the 5.6 billion euro estimate. Shares of ASML slid 16% after hours on Tuesday, following a technical error that published the report on its website. The hit to shares bled into other chip stocks, with Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices and Broadcom all dropping after the report was released.

Walgreens announced fiscal fourth-quarter sales and profit that exceeded Wall Street expectations, as the company cut costs in the midst of a rough fiscal year. The retail pharmacy giant also said it plans to close around 1,200 stores over the next three years, with 500 in fiscal 2025 alone. The closures will provide a “healthier store base,” according to Walgreens CEO Tim Wentworth during an earnings call on Tuesday. Shares jumped about 13% following the report on Tuesday.
5. Raiders’ new owners
