Tech titans Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) led the way, having positive reactions on earnings. Tesla (TSLA) plunged last week, but did hold last-ditch support on Friday.
Investors should remain cautious, but also prepare for new buying opportunities. Pay attention to several key earnings this coming week. Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL), Ford Motor (F), Qualcomm (QCOM), Fortinet (FTNT) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) are five notable reports. All of these charts have had a rough stretch, though Google stock could be actionable soon. Ford stock, Qualcomm and Fortinet aren’t plunging vs. the broader market. AMD stock is a former chip leader that is trying to find a bottom.
Tesla stock and Microsoft are on IBD Leaderboard. Microsoft, Google and FTNT stock are on IBD Long-Term Leaders. Microsoft and GOOGL stock are on the IBD 50.
