Lisa Martin: Big Tech Earnings & MSFT Role as a Hyperscaler Benchmark

Lisa Martin breaks down this quarter's Big Tech earnings, explaining why investor reactions are driven as much by expectations and timing as the results themselves. She discusses how hyperscalers are being held to a higher standard, why Microsoft’s (MSFT) earnings helped calm concerns that emerged after Alphabet’s (GOOGL) report, and how Microsoft has become a benchmark for both cloud computing and AI. Martin also shares her take on the latest results from Meta Platforms (META) and Apple (AAPL).
