Big Tech Earnings Reports: Meta, Alphabet, and Microsoft in Focus
First-Quarter Earnings Expectations
This week, the tech industry will be closely monitoring the earnings reports of three major Big Tech companies: Meta (META), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), and Microsoft (MSFT). Analysts anticipate a flurry of earnings reports, providing insights into the performance of these tech giants in the first quarter of 2023.
Meta's Q1 Projections
For the first quarter, Wall Street analysts expect Meta to report earnings per share of $0.43 on revenue of $36.1 billion. These projections come amidst ongoing concerns about the impact of competition from TikTok and privacy regulations on Meta's advertising business.
Recent Performance and Outlook
In its most recent earnings report for the third quarter of 2022, Meta surpassed analysts' expectations for revenue and profit. The company reported an increase of 28% year-over-year in ad impressions and a 9% decrease in the average price per ad. Meta's ad revenue growth is attributed to the increasing use of its platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, for business and marketing purposes.
However, investors will be eager to assess Meta's outlook for the rest of the year and the company's strategies to address competition and regulatory challenges. The earnings report is expected to provide valuable insights into the company's plans for mitigating these headwinds and driving long-term growth.
