Big Tech Earnings Week: Top Five of ‘Magnificent Seven’ Set to Report
As we step into the busiest earnings week of the season, Wall Street is abuzz with anticipation. Five of the ‘Magnificent Seven’ tech giants are gearing up to report their first-quarter 2026 results between April 28-30. Together, these companies represent a staggering $18.59 trillion in combined market capitalization.
Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta Platforms are all set to report on Wednesday, April 29. Apple will follow suit on Thursday, April 30. These reports will serve as the first comprehensive test of investor appetite for the tech sector since the Iran conflict began impacting global markets in late February.
Analysts are predicting a 25% growth in net income for the Magnificent Seven in 2026, compared to a modest 11% for the remaining S&P 493 companies. The spotlight will be on whether these tech behemoths can justify their colossal AI infrastructure spending, projected to reach a whopping $645 billion this year.
- Microsoft: The focus will be on Azure cloud growth and AI-related revenue, with the company setting a target of $25 billion for the fiscal year.
- Alphabet: The company recently reiterated plans to spend $175-$185 billion in capital expenditures this year.
- Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Apple: Updates on AI spending management will be keenly watched, especially in the wake of Meta’s announcement of 8,000 layoffs and Microsoft’s buyout packages.
