Apple, Amazon take spotlight in mixed week for earnings of big tech firms

Whether this Big Tech earnings season turns out to be a success or disappointment will likely come down to results from Apple Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. later Thursday.

The earnings reports — the last from the so-called Magnificent Seven companies aside from Nvidia Corp. — come a day after results from Microsoft Corp. and Meta Platforms Inc. failed to impress investors, sending their shares lower and weighing on the broader market. That followed better-than-expected results from Alphabet Inc. on Tuesday and Tesla Inc. last week.
