Stocks to watch on Wednesday after hours: MSFT, GOOGL, META, CVNA

U.S. equities finished lower Wednesday as investors digested the Federal Reserve’s rate decision and Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks while awaiting big-tech earnings. The Dow fell about 0.5% and the S&P 500 slipped as caution weighed on the market. Microsoft (MSFT.OQ) was a focal point, trading down in both the regular session and further in after-hours, while other large-cap tech names including Alphabet (GOOG.OQ), Meta (META.OQ) and NVIDIA (NVDA.OQ) were highlighted among movers. Street attention is on upcoming tech reports and how the Fed commentary will influence rates and growth expectations, leaving sentiment broadly cautious. The after-hours and premarket action in individual stocks could drive near-term sector volatility.
