Tech Earnings

Apple and Palantir (Nov. 2): Apple’s quarterly report will be closely scrutinized for comments on demand for the newly launched iPhone Duo, the crucial holiday quarter forecast and how the company is navigating surging memory chip prices.

Apple’s Q4 revenue is expected to rise 11% to $113.35 billion, the slowest growth in the last four quarters, with iPhone sales seen rising about 15% to $56.54 billion.

Analysts expect Palantir’s Q3 revenue to rise 85% to $2.18 billion, compared to 93% growth in Q2, as per Koyfin. Adjusted profit is expected to rise 94% to $0.41 per share.

Both the companies will report after the markets close.

Advanced Micro Devices (Nov. 3): After Intel’s disappointing report last week, AMD’s earnings take on added importance, as they would help determine whether Intel’s weakness was company-specific or reflects a broader problem in the chip market.

Analysts expected the chipmaker’s Q3 revenue to rise 42% to $13.01 billion and adjusted profit to increase 62% to $1.94 per share.

Snap (Nov.4): Alphabet and Reddit offered a mixed reading on the ad market, creating a complicated setup for Snap. Analysts expect Q3 revenue to rise 15% to $1.73 billion and adjusted profit to rise 55% to $0.16 per share.
