Tech Earnings Are the Market’s Biggest Story This Week: Here’s Why Microsoft, Amazon, Intel, SanDisk, and Alphabet Will Drive the Stock Market’s Next Move

This could be the most important week of 2026 for AI stocks. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), and SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) are preparing to report earnings, and the results could determine where the technology sector heads next. In this video, Eric Bleeker, CFA, Chief Investment Officer of 24/7 Wall St., previews the biggest earnings announcements and explains what investors should watch as concerns about artificial intelligence spending continue to pressure technology stocks. After sharp declines across AI infrastructure companies, Wall Street is increasingly questioning whether the hundreds of billions of dollars being invested in data centers will generate sufficient returns. Microsoft's Azure growth, Amazon Web Services' accelerating revenue, and Alphabet's expanding AI infrastructure investments will be especially important. Meanwhile, Intel, SanDisk, and SK Hynix could provide critical insight into demand for semiconductors, memory, and AI hardware. We'll break down earnings expectations, the most important numbers to watch, and why this week's results could either reignite enthusiasm for AI stocks or accelerate the selloff.
