Our Chris Versace is zeroing in on guidance from Magnificent Seven earnings reports in his latest video chat with the Schwab Network’s Nicole Petallides.
Microsoft MSFT needs to show monetization and a higher backlog, says Versace. Meta Platforms META, meanwhile, needs to update investors on advertising strategies and give more information on subscription plans. Apple AAPL, however, is generally expected to have a good quarter, but Versace is a little concerned about the company’s outlook, given developments in the memory market. He hopes to see an AI-enabled Siri in the near future.
Otherwise, he likes Eaton ETN and is closely watching CoreWeave CRWV and what it means for another TheStreet Pro Portfolio holding.
