All 30 of the Dow Jones Industrial Average components have traded premarket, and 28 of them are trading lower, as Dow futures slump 107 points. The biggest percentage decliner is Nike Inc.’s stock , which dropped 1.8% after a downgrade at Goldman Sachs. The next biggest decliners were shares of Apple Inc. , which shed 1.7% after the independent cellular connection feature of its Apple Watch was abruptly cut off in China, and American Express Co. , which was shedding 1.4% after the company reported third-quarter results late Wednesday and said CEO Kenneth Chenault will step down. Of the two gainers, shares of Verizon Communications Inc. rose 2% and Travelers Cos. inched up less than 0.1%, after both companies reported better-than-expected results earlier Thursday.
