It has been a busy time for tech investors as four of the “Magnificent 7” constituents — namely Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), Meta Platforms (META), and Tesla (TSLA) — recently released their December quarter earnings. The market’s reaction to the earnings has been somber as investors question growing artificial intelligence (AI) capital expenditures.
Microsoft and Meta Platforms are two stories in contrast, though. While the former saw a double-digit dip on Jan. 29, Meta Platforms soared by a similar quantum and rose above $700. Notably, META stock previously fell below $700 following the company's third-quarter 2025 earnings release in October and traded below that level until Q4 earnings turned the tide.
