Stock futures ticked up on Thursday amid a mix of earnings report, yield moves, and a focus on Fed speech.
Here are some of Thursday's biggest stock movers: 

Biggest stock gainers
AT&T (NYSE:T) shares rose over 7% after the company increased its free cash flow guidance for the full year, citing stronger-than-expected third-quarter results. The company now expects free cash flow to be around $16.5B for the year, and adjusted EBITDA to grow at least 4%, up from a prior guidance of 3% or more. The company also surpassed 8M Fiber subscribers, a double in less than four years.
Netflix's (NASDAQ:NFLX) stock jumped over 16% after its strong Q3 results, which marked the company's strongest quarter for subscriber growth in years thanks to a solid programming slate and a crackdown on password sharing. The streaming giant attracted 8.76M global paying subscribers, exceeding forecasts of 6.2M and achieving 247.15M memberships over projections of 244.41M. The Y/Y growth rate reached 10.8%, surpassing Q2's 8.0% and Q1's 4.9%.
Las Vegas Sands (NYSE:LVS) shares rose nearly 6% after its top-line exceeded expectations in Q3 boosted by continued travel and tourism recovery in Macau and Singapore. The company also announced a $2B stock buyback program. CEO Robert Goldstein said, "We remain deeply enthusiastic about our opportunities for growth in both markets in the years ahead."
Biggest stock losers
Blackstone (NYSE:BX) shares fell as much as 5% after the private equity firm announced weaker-than-expected Q3 earnings as it navigated markets adjusting to a higher interest rate environment.
Shares of EV giant Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) slumped about 6.5% after the company's Q3 earnings fell short of expectations. Plant shutdowns for upgrades and price cutbacks weighed on the company's profit margin. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, cautioned that it would take 12-18 months for the battery-powered Cybertruck to generate substantial positive cash flow.
Zions Bancorporation's (NASDAQ:ZION) shares dropped 5% after Q3 earnings fell short of analysts' expectations, partly due to a surge in total deposits and borrowing costs due to high interest rates. The bank's Chairman and CEO, Harris H. Simmons, stated that the results reflect a stabilization of net interest margin and growth in customer deposits, despite weakened loan demand.

Equifax (NYSE:EFX) shares lost about 7% after missing the consensus mark in Q3 and lowering FY2023 guidance at the midpoint to revenue of $5.256B and Adjusted EPS guidance of $6.67 per share, a reduction of $44M and $0.31 per share, respectively.
