The three stocks in this analysis all have earnings calls after the bell, which is after the Federal Reserve releases its latest interest rate decision, statement, and follow up press conference.
Microsoft looks like it’s going to open a little bit higher during the trading session here on Wednesday as we continue to march along a major trend line. The next earnings report is this evening, so keep that in mind. Therefore, Microsoft could be a bit dangerous to play around in at the moment. But tomorrow, meaning Thursday’s setup, could very well offer a bit of value if we get a short-term sell-off.
Sell off, of course, being the operative word here, not meltdown, if the earnings come in as expected, which is $3.37 earnings and 73.81 billion revenue, then things should be okay. If we get anywhere close, then I would be looking at a potential pullback to 500 as a buying opportunity if we do see a little bit of weakness.
Meta looks like it’s going to try to rally a bit in pre-market trading and open to the upside, but we’ll just have to wait and see how that plays out. After all, we are hanging around the crucial $700 level and that in and of itself will probably cause a little bit of noise. But that being said, I also recognize that the 50 day EMA is sitting at the $688 region and is rising. Again, Meta also has an earnings report coming out at the end of the session. So, your estimate is $5.87, and the revenue estimate is $44.81 billion. Again, I think this is a bullish market. I would welcome a little bit of a sell-off though.
ARM Holdings has its earnings report after the bell as well, as it pressures the $167.50 level. Short-term pullbacks do make a certain amount of sense at this double top or at least potential double top area that has seen some noise in the past. Nonetheless, I look at that as a buying opportunity here as well, with the 50-day EMA rising, offering a bit of a floor in this market closer to the $150 level. If we do break out to the upside, then so be it. At that point in time, I think you will probably be looking at the $180 level.
