Investing.com -- U.S. stock futures were mixed Tuesday following the release of retail sales data for May that was softer than economists expected, as investors continued to balance weaker economic data against the possibility of Fed rate cuts later this year.

Here are some of the biggest U.S. stock movers today:

Chegg (NYSE:CHGG) stock soared 13% after the education technology group announced plans to slash 23% of its global workforce as part of a broader restructuring push.

Lennar (NYSE:LEN) (LEN) stock dropped 2.9% after the homebuilder forecast its third-quarter home deliveries below expectations, a sign that demand for new homes is expected to remain sluggish as mortgage rates hover at a two-decade high.
