Four of the Magnificent Seven reported earnings yesterday—Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet—beating most Wall Street expectations. As seasoned traders know, however, the prevailing market reaction can define whether a stock moves higher or lower.

Nvidia has been sitting pretty atop the list of largest companies. After its fiscal year 2026 Q2 earnings, it sent a message that it plans to remain there.

Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta (META) were two of the biggest names reporting earnings on Wednesday. With the expectation that AI would be a prime revenue generator for both, it was estimated they would beat earnings estimates, and they did just that.
