For Immediate Release Chicago, IL – January 26, 2026 – Zacks.com releases the list of companies likely to issue earnings surprises. This week’s list includes Microsoft MSFT, Meta Platforms META, Tesla TSLA and Apple AAPL. Magnificent 7 Earnings Loom: What to Expect? The Q4 earnings reporting cycle ramps up this week, with more than 300 companies on deck to report results, including four of the ‘Magnificent 7’ members and 102 S&P 500 members. We have Microsoft, Meta Platforms and Tesla reporting results the same day after the market’s close on Wednesday, January 28th, and Apple on Thursday, January 29th, after the market’s close. The Mag 7 stocks have struggled lately, with the group lagging the broader market over the trailing twelve-month period, as can be seen by the blue line (+8.9%) in the chart below. While all four Mag 7 stocks reporting this week have underperformed, Meta and Microsoft have been particularly weak, while Apple and Tesla have done marginally better. The key issues with Microsoft, Meta, and even Apple are all tied to what these companies are doing in the AI space. While Microsoft and Meta are among the big spenders on AI, Apple has been missing in action, making Apple investors nervous about the company’s long-term competitive positioning. Microsoft was initially seen as a leader in the space, with its relationship with OpenAI adding to its credentials. But that leadership status has now gone to Alphabet, particularly since regulatory headwinds eased for the search giant last year. In terms of specific expectations, Apple is expected $2.65 per share in earnings on $137.5 billion in revenues, representing year-over-year gains of +10.4% and +10.6%, respectively. The revisions trend has been positive, with estimates steadily moving up. For Microsoft, the expectation is of $3.88 per share in earnings on $80.2 billion in revenues, representing year-over-year growth rates of +20.1% and +15.2%, respectively. The revisions trend has been positive for Mi...

MediaTek Inc. shares notched their best two-day rally on record, as investors flock to the Taiwanese chip designer on excitement over its tie-up with Google. The Taipei-listed stock jumped 8.6% Monday, capping a two-session surge of 19% and closing at a fresh all-time high. That extended a two-month rally on growing awareness of MediaTek’s work on Google’s tensor processing units, which are chips used in AI applications. It also highlights how fund managers faced with single-stock limits on their holding of market titan Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. are diversifying into other AI-related firms. MediaTek’s pivot from its core smartphone chip business into high-margin custom AI offerings has positioned it as a top alternative. “We see large potential” in MediaTek’s AI application-specific integrated circuits, Morgan Stanley analysts including Charlie Chan wrote in a note Friday. While Google is also working with Broadcom Inc. on its TPUs, MediaTek may see more growth as it converts more of its smartphone-related resources to AI-related chips, they added.

TSMC shares fell 0.9%. MediaTek’s latest guidance looks conservative, as it only factors in the outlook as of October and just orders from Google, according to Phelix Lee , an analyst at Morningstar Inc. The market may be hoping for the company to overshoot its targets, he said.

Key Points The 10-year Treasury yield had been trading in a tight range over the past month and a half. Tense geopolitical relations over Greenland have helped send long-term yields sharply higher. Are yields likely to keep moving higher, or is there a potential buying opportunity here? These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Longer-term U.S. Treasury yields have been stuck in a fairly tight range for several weeks. Bouncing pretty narrowly between the 4.1% and 4.2% levels, they haven't gotten a great deal of interest as a safe haven play in the way gold has, but they also haven't sold off as stocks hover near all-time highs. This past week, however, the 10-year yield finally had its breakout. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Within a couple of trading days, it moved sharply from around 4.15% to a high of 4.31%. That's the highest it's been since August 2025. The clear catalyst here is geopolitics. Every time President Trump talks about acquiring Greenland, it threatens to shake up relationships with the United States' allies in NATO. In the latest round of rhetoric, Trump has threatened to increase tariffs on multiple European nations, while those countries reconsider trade relationships and dollar-denominated asset exposure. On one side, higher tariffs generally lead to higher inflation rates. Higher inflation can lead to higher interest rates. This is part of the response we're seeing here. On the other side, if foreign nations consider dumping some of their U.S. asset holdings, such as Treasuries, a flood of supply could hit the market that forces interest rates higher to entice buyers. In both cases, higher interest rates are a natural response to what we've seen on the political front over the past several days. As has been the case with tariff talk for a while, threats have usually been short-lived and de-escalated fairly quickly. As that h...
