Lowe’s surpassed Wall Street’s fourth-quarter expectations for earnings and revenue this morning, reporting more than 10% quarterly sales growth from the same time a year ago.

But the positive results were overshadowed by the home improvement retailer’s weaker-than-expected earnings outlook for the full year. Shares of Lowe’s slipped around 3% in premarket trading this morning.

A crop of technology earnings reports are due after the bell. The headliner is Nvidia, whose results will come amid mounting skepticism on the Street about AI.

Warner Bros. Discovery announced yesterday that Paramount Skydance upped its takeover offer to $31 per share. WBD said the new proposal, which its board would review, could “reasonably be expected” to beat out the media giant’s current deal with Netflix.

Paramount’s new offer is all cash and includes a $7 billion breakup fee if the merger does not receive regulatory approval, according to WBD. Paramount also agreed to cover the $2.8 billion owed to Netflix if WBD backs out of its existing deal with the streaming giant.

Paramount CEO David Ellison has been vying for WBD for nearly half of a year. As CNBC’s Sarah Whitten reports, acquiring the media company could help improve Paramount’s lackluster box office record under Ellison’s leadership.

Panera Bread is hopping on the value meal bandwagon.

The company announced a “Mix & Match” deal this morning in a bid to lure back money-conscious consumers. Panera’s new value options come as a number of restaurant chains, including McDonald’s and Taco Bell, promote low-cost menu items. As CNBC’s Amelia Lucas notes, affordability has been a key part of Panera’s turnaround plan under CEO Paul Carbone.

Meanwhile, shares of fellow fast-casual chain Cava surged nearly 10% in extended trading after the company beat analyst expectations on both lines for the fourth quarter. The Mediterranean chain also reported unexpected growth in same-store sales and said full-year revenue topped $1 billion for the first time.
