Market Pulse: Earnings Season Heats Up
As the sun sets on another day of trading, investors are bracing themselves for a wild ride. Futures are mixed, with the Dow Jones edging lower, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures are seeing modest gains. The real excitement, however, lies in the slew of earnings reports that dropped like a bombshell on Wednesday night.
Tech Titans Take Center Stage
Tesla, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft stole the spotlight, with ServiceNow and IBM also making waves. Despite missing earnings and sales views, Tesla stock surged late in the day, buoyed by Elon Musk’s ambitious plans for self-driving technology. The visionary CEO predicts a major breakthrough in June, with an “epic” 2026 on the horizon.
A Mixed Bag of Earnings
While Tesla’s Q4 earnings and sales fell short of expectations, investors are choosing to focus on the positives. The electric vehicle giant’s robotaxi hopes are driving optimism, sending the stock soaring. Meanwhile, other tech heavyweights are waiting in the wings, ready to unveil their own earnings reports.
