Microsoft Earnings Impact Tech Stocks| Morning Express | 1/25/2023

Posted: Jan. 25, 2023, 9:35 a.m.

Bill Baruch will be joining the CNBC Halftime Report today, in studio, at 11:00 am CT. 

  • Microsoft earnings moving the tape. Company reported lukewarm headline numbers topping adjusted EPS at $2.32 versus $2.30 but missed on Revenues $52.7B versus $53.12B. It was Azure growth at 31% that boosted the stock immediately by more than 4% afterhours. However, the company did not report guidance, but on the call said Azure growth will decelerate by 4-5% in the coming quarter. This set off an immediate slide that impacted all tech stocks, especially those with SaaS exposure.
  • Earnings will continue to be the main focus, and Tesla will be front and center after the bell.
    • ASML, the Dutch chipmaker, topped EPS this morning, but missed Revenues, and is down by nearly 2%. It sees growth remaining steady, but there are economic concerns and those related to China restrictions
    • AT&T beat bottom, but missed top-line estimates. The stock is higher by 2% on strong subscriber growth.
    • ABT, NEE, BA, IBM, and FCX are still to report ahead of the open.
    • TSLA, NOW, CSX, LRCX, NSC, and more are due after the bell.
  • The Bank of Canada announces a policy decision at 9:00 am CT.
  • Weekly EIA inventory data is due at 9:30 am CT, expectations are for +0.97 mb Crude, +1.767 mb Gasoline, and -1.121 mb Distillates. Watch Cushing inventories, which have increased five of the last six weeks, and SPR release after last week showed none.

  • Cautiously bearish in Bias while holding below 4015.75-4020, while acknowledging a close above 4030-4035 could spark the next bull leg higher.
