Earnings Surprises to Expect: Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and More

The earnings season launched in earnest last week. And the week of July 25 will be even bigger, with over 500 companies posting their performance results. Tech will lead the way, with giants including Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and others reporting their earnings this week. After both Snap (SNAP) and Twitter (TWTR) announced disappointing earnings, the outlook for companies with exposure to advertising is less than bright. And Walmart’s (WMT) downward revision of Q2 guidance is souring investors on retail companies like Amazon.

If the start of this EPS season is any indication, investors will be reading the upcoming announcements with added scrutiny and an extra dose of skepticism. Wall Street will also be parsing the earnings releases for clues about the impact of inflation, rate increases, Covid and global events on the economy as a whole.
