Wednesday was a bad day to report tech earnings.
HP, Box, Square and Booking all plummeted in extended trading after providing quarterly numbers or forecasts that disappointed investors. Box led the declines, dropping as much as 23 percent on weaker-than-expected guidance.
The declines came after the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 both closed regular trading in the red. Earlier on Wednesday, Fed Chairman Jay Powell said during his testimony on Capitol Hill that "financial conditions are now less supportive of growth than they were earlier last year."
HP was down 6 percent and Square was fell a similar amount after their reports. Software company Alteryx dropped more than 5 percent, and Booking, the parent of Priceline and Kayak, slumped 8 percent.
Elastic, an open-source software company that went public last year, fell 8 percent even after surpassing estimates for the last quarter and providing optimistic guidance.
