Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) shares fell 3.1% on the New York Stock Exchange premarket on Thursday after the social media giant warned of a significant slowdown in revenue growth in the current third quarter and next.

Shares in Didi Global (NYSE:DIDI) soared nearly 40% after the Wall Street Journal reported that the company's biggest backers may take it private just weeks after its IPO in New York to appease Chinese regulators. However, after the company's rebuttal, the rise was reduced to 14.5%.

Shares of Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) climbed 1.7% after the entertainment giant's second-quarter revenue beat forecasts on higher ad sales and the reopening of theme parks.
