Meta's AI reality check has dented hopes for a Big Tech revival for stocks, with a GDP update waiting in the wings.
Techs led a retreat in US stocks on Thursday as Meta's revenue forecast rattled investors eyeing the next high-stakes megacap earnings, while a GDP update ahead is set to revive the rate-cut debate. Nasdaq 100 futures fell 1% on the heels of a go-nowhere day for the major Wall Street gauges. Futures on the S&P 500 lost 0.7%, while those on the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.6%.
That miss put a dent in hopes that results from the "Magnificent Seven" might juice a comeback in stocks, whose rally has lost momentum recently. It's also a reality check for Microsoft and Alphabet , also burdened with high earnings growth and AI expectations, when they report after the bell Thursday. Investors are also waiting for an update on GDP after an increasingly positive US economy has led some to take the repricing of Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts in its stride.
