GoodWhale Weekly: Big Tech Earnings Split — MSFT $450B Melt-Up, Meta -10%, Apple Miss, Hawkish Fed
Big Tech earnings stole the spotlight this week. Big Tech earnings week finally had winners and losers. Microsoft added a record $450 billion in market cap in a single day as Azure crossed a $100B annual run-rate. Amazon followed with a $200B quarter and AWS reaccelerating to 37% growth. But Meta cratered 10% on a $145 billion capex balloon, Apple fell 8% on a Services miss, and the Fed's hawkish 9-3 hold sent the Dow -1,153 points -- its worst day since April 2025 -- and pushed the 30-year US Treasury yield to a 19-year high of 5.28%. Here's what actually mattered for SG/MY investors this week.
