#BigTechEarningsNight #BigTechEarningsNight Microsoft and Meta report tonight (July 29), just hours after the Fed's rate decision — both stocks are down YTD (MSFT ~23-27%, Meta ~10%), with ~95% odds of an EPS beat already priced in, meaning FY27 capex guidance is what actually moves the stock, not the beat itself. Microsoft: EPS estimate $4.22-4.24, revenue $87.5-87.7B. Its $627B commercial backlog gives Nadella spending cover, but capex nearing $230B without clear Azure reacceleration risks a real free-cash-flow repricing. Meta: EPS estimate ~$7.18-7.24, revenue ~$60.2B (+27%), after raising 2026 capex guidance to $125-145B — the key question is whether ad-business strength justifies that spend. This follows Alphabet and Tesla's rough week (both fell on rising capex/falling free cash flow), so investors are primed to punish any similar signal. Apple and Amazon follow tomorrow, July 30 — completing a 48-hour stretch that's effectively a referendum on whether AI capex is producing visible returns or just compressing margins across all of Big Tech.
