We’re staring at big catalysts: Sevens Report Editor, Tom Essaye, Quoted in Barron’s
Tech Stocks Are Sliding Ahead of Key Earnings Reports
“There was not much going on yesterday and there isn’t a ton going on today, either,” Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye told Barron’s. “And we’ve had sort of big moves in the market, and we’re staring at big catalysts.”
Reports from Alphabet and Tesla may have lowered the bar for Big Tech, Essaye says. On the flip side, the megacap tech stocks have run up tremendously on high expectations for growth ahead driven by artificial intelligence. That changed in July, when tech stocks started to struggle to keep up as investors rotated from the sector to underperforming small-cap names.
“Investors are kind of more in a ‘show me’ mode now than they have been in a long time with these names,” Essaye says. “They want to see better earnings before they jump back in for fear that this rotation isn’t over.”
