early in the day. But the Big Tech names are the most anticipated because of their sheer size as part of an elite group of companies with a market cap of more than $1 trillion.

Niles said that with stocks heading higher into earnings, the action could be even more exaggerated if something goes wrong. But the big four could also add volatility on the upside. Profits for the five stocks were up 3.1% in the same period, versus a 9.2% decline for the S&P 500 companies. Golub said they have strong cash positions, and their higher margins give them better results in periods of market stress.

"The fundamental story is so strong on these. I think they're perfectly fine.
