Spotlight on Tesla, Alphabet, Boeing Earnings Amid Tariff Uncertainties
“Magnificent Seven” stalwarts Tesla and Alphabet are set to report this week as investors look for indications on how tariffs and economic uncertainty could affect these companies and clues as to the health of the AI trade.
Google parent Alphabet is on Thursday’s reporting calendar as the Big Tech firm continues to announce spending to build out artificial intelligence (infrastructure, including a $75 billion announcement earlier this year. Its cloud revenue disappointed analysts when the company reported prior-quarter results.
Intel’s scheduled report for Thursday puts focus on the U.S. chipmaking industry and its role in tariff policy. The struggling tech company is now working under a new CEO, who has made moves to tighten the company’s focus amid reports that it is in partnership talks with industry peers. IBM and ServiceNow are other tech firms expected to report this week.
Boeing’s report is scheduled on Wednesday. The aircraft maker's stock has tumbled on reports that Chinese air carriers will stop taking deliveries amid trade tensions. GE Aerospace’s report is scheduled for Tuesday.
Several telecommunications companies are scheduled to deliver their quarterly financial updates, including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Comcast, and Charter Communications.
Investors will look at Thursday’s reports from Procter & Gamble and PepsiCo for indications on consumer spending, while Merck and HCA Healthcare are among health industry firms scheduled to report.
Consumer sentiment will be a theme this week as economists have closely watched a decline in “soft data” amid increasing worries over U.S. tariff policy and how it could influence inflation.
Scheduled for release Wednesday, new home sales data comes as affordability issues have hamstrung the housing market, with builders often relying on incentives to drive sales. Durable goods order data is expected as the factory sector is also watching the impact of tariffs. The Wednesday scheduled release of “flash” Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) information for the U.S. in April will provide a look at how the import taxes are hitting the manufacturing and services sectors.
Investors will be following comments from Federal Reserve officials after Fed Chair Jerome Powell roiled markets last week with his assessment that tariffs would likely have an inflationary impact. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee, Cleveland Fed President Hammack, and Philadelphia Fed President Harker are scheduled to speak this week.
In addition, the Federal Beige Book release scheduled for Wednesday will offer an overview of the economy ahead of the central bank’s next meeting on May 6 and 7.
