Technology companies are in focus for earnings this week, but can they return to their winning ways? Many stocks in this space surged in 2015, but have been a bit lackluster lately so investors are likely expecting a return to more impressive performances following their upcoming reports. There are three to watch in particular this week as bellwethers for the space. First up is Netflix (NFLX) which is reporting today (Monday) after the bell. Recent estimates have been falling, but the stock remains a Zacks Rank #3 (hold) stock. Following that, Alphabet (GOOGL), the parent company of Google, and Microsoft (MSFT) are both reporting on Thursday. Alphabet is looking a bit more impressive as recent estimates have been rising, and have left the stock with a positive Earnings ESP. MSFT, on the other hand, is really priced for perfection thanks to a solid run that hasn’t seen earnings keep up. Recent estimates have been a bit lower and we are seeing a negative Earnings ESP for this Zacks Rank #3 (hold) stock. Watch the video for more earnings insights and a closer look at the charts for these tech giants. And make sure to tune in later in the week for more analysis of company reports!
