Investing.com -- U.S. stock futures were trading lower during Thursday’s regular deals, after major benchmark averages tumbled during regular trade as weaker-than-expected retail sales data sapped risk sentiment.

In extended deals, Adobe Systems (NASDAQ:ADBE) lifted 4.7% after reporting Q4 EPS of $3.60 versus $3.50 expected while revenue came in at $4.53 billion, in line with estimates.
Ahead in Friday’s session, investors will be focusing on preliminary services and manufacturing PMIs as well as corporate earnings results from Olive Garden parent Darden Restaurants Inc (NYSE:DRI).
