Microsoft, Alphabet results spark rally in megacap stocks

Microsoft rose 3.8 per cent after the company said it targets double-digit growth in fiscal revenue, easing worries about the impact of soaring prices and slowing growth, even as it missed estimates for fourth-quarter results. All eyes will now be on ad revenue at Facebook owner Meta Platforms due later in the day after disappointing results from Twitter Inc and Snapchat's owner Snap Inc last week sparked a selloff in social media and ad tech firms.

Meta shares rose 2.4 per cent, while Apple Inc and Amazon.com Inc, which are slated to post reports on Thursday, firmed 2.5 per cent and 2 per cent, respectively.
