THE fourth-quarter earnings season is underway, and tech giants Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple and Meta have all reported their earnings. While the majority of them exceeded both revenue and earnings expectations, their solid financial performance was not enough to satisfy investors’ lofty expectations.
Most of these companies are currently trailing the S&P 500’s 4.29 per cent year-to-date performance; only Meta’s impressive 22.93 per cent gain was a notable exception.
