Equities rebounded from a midweek slump to finish in the green after volatile trading. All three major indexes rose between 1% and 1.6% last week, to end a mixed month of July. The Dow Jones Industrial Average eked out a 0.3% gain on the month, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite slumped 3.2%, dragged down by semiconductor stocks' 21% decline. Despite the brutal July selloff, the Philadelphia Stock Exchange Semiconductor Index is still up a whopping 60% this year.
This week brings another busy week of earnings in what is shaping up to be another strong quarter for corporate profits. Roughly 60% of S&P 500 index companies have reported results so far, with nearly 90% beating earnings-per-share estimates, and about three-quarters surpassing revenue expectations.
Palantir Technologies will announce earnings on Monday, followed by Advanced Micro Devices, McDonald's, Merck, and SpaceX on Tuesday. CVS Health, Eli Lilly, Sandisk, Uber Technologies, Walt Disney, and Western Digital will report on Wednesday, and Airbnb, Constellation Energy, and ConocoPhillips do the same on Thursday.
