Also in focus was the leisure vehicle firm Winnebago Industries Inc (NYSE:WGO).
The firm unveiled a jump in first quarter profits and revenues, boosted by growth in its towable recreational vehicles business.
In the quarter to November 25, gross profit surged 117.6% to US$62.8mln from US$28.9mln the same period a year ago.
Revenue gained 83.5% to US$450mln from US$245.3mln as growth in the towables business offset lower revenues from the motorised vehicle unit.
Shares closed Tuesday down 0.95% at US$57.40 each.
Uber, the taxi app firm, was also in focus on Wednesday morning. The group was said to have suffered a setback after an EU court classified as a transport service and regulated like other taxi operators.
The ruling could impact other online businesses in Europe.
Bed Bath & Beyond Inc (NASDAQ:BBBY) shares added 2.38% to US$24.54 after the bell ahead of it reporting quarterly earnings.
Analysts predict the group will report earnings of 37 US cents per share on revenue of US$2bn.
