3. Stock market movers -- Mattel, Schlumberger, Netflix: Mattel (MAT) was up as much as 8% in after hours trading following its latest quarterly earnings. Although revenue fell from a year ago and the company posted a loss, sales topped forecasts and the loss wasn't as big as expected.
Shares of Schlumberger (SLB) also rose in extended trading after the oil services company said it was laying off another 11,000 workers. The stock was edging up 1% premarket.
Netflix (NFLX, Tech30) climbed 1% premarket after showing strong subscriber growth earlier this week. Worth over $500 a share, Netflix is the best performer by far in the S&P 500 this year, with analysts expecting further growth.
4. Earnings and economics: General Electric (GE) and Honeywell (HON) are reporting ahead of the open.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics will report on the CPI at 8:30 a.m. ET.
Unemployment in U.K. fell to 5.6% in February, the lowest since 2008. Jobs are a big topic ahead of the general election next month.
