General Motors (GM) — GM fell 1.2% in the premarket even after exceeding Wall Street forecasts on both the top and bottom lines. The automaker earned an adjusted $1.52 per share in the third quarter, well above the 96 cent consensus estimate. It also issued a strong full-year outlook.

Microsoft (MSFT) — Microsoft beat estimates by 20 cents with adjusted quarterly earnings of $2.27 per share, with revenue above estimates as well. Microsoft benefitted from significant growth in its cloud computing business. The stock gained 1.5% in premarket action.
