PinnedThe tone for the AI main theme is set tonight! Google and Tesla earnings reports appear together, with Intel closing out on Thursday.
About 77 S&P 500 constituents are scheduled to report this week, putting the market's direction entirely in the hands of earnings. The peak moment of the week is tonight, with Google and Tesla reporting after hours on Wednesday (July 22) ET. Tech stocks have already pulled back last week, and prices have already priced in that a "beat" is the standard expectation. An earnings beat doesn't necessarily mean the stock will rise; only an upward revision of guidance (raise) provides real catalyst.
