Here’s what CNBC TV producers were watching as a slide in Nvidia stock hurt the S&P 500 on Wednesday, and what’s on the radar for Thursday’s session.

Three big tech stocks to watch Thursday morning

  • Nvidia fell about 7% after hours after reporting its quarterly report. CNBC TV’s NYSE man Bob Pisani said it when he said early Wednesday morning that it’s getting harder for Nvidia to impress Wall Street as the beats get narrower. Profit and revenue more than doubled from the same quarter a year ago, beating Wall Street estimates. However, shares are selling in extended trading. Nvidia is about 11% off its June high.
  • Salesforce is up 4% after hours. The company beat expectations in the fiscal second quarter and raised guidance. The seemingly ever-optimistic CEO Marc Benioff exclusively told CNBC’s Jim Cramer tonight that “now we can really show how companies can use artificial intelligence … it’s amazing what’s happening.” He cited several customers using Salesforce’s new Agentforce technology, including OpenTable and Wyndham Hotels. Shares remain 19% off their March 1 high.
  • CrowdStrike fell more than 2% after reporting earnings this afternoon. Second-quarter fiscal results were better than expected, but the cybersecurity giant cut guidance. There is still a lot of uneasiness about the stock after the massive IT outage in July. CEO George Kurtz is with “Mad Money” Jim Cramer on Thursdays at 6 p.m. The stock is 33% off its July high.
