Stock futures are lower as Q4 earnings continue to encourage a more defensive posture, especially given the pre-market performance of IBM ( IBM ) and Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD ).

Today's earnings calendar includes nearly 80 companies reporting results, including General Dynamics ( GD ) and Netflix ( NFLX ), leaving investors more cautious into today's NYSE open.
