Wall Street Week Ahead: Lofty US stocks leave investors punishing earnings disappointments

Strong reports from Microsoft and Google parent Alphabet on Thursday helped propel the S&P 500 to its biggest weekly gain since early November following its first 5 per cent pullback of the year. — Reuters picNEW YORK, April 27 ― Richly valued US stocks are leaving investors with little tolerance for disappointment, raising the stakes ahead of a week in which two more technology and growth giants are set to report.

Earnings reports have been “pretty good,” said Rick Meckler, partner at Cherry Lane Investments. But “anyone that's missed in any way is paying a pretty heavy price.” Shares of Tesla surged 12 per cent earlier in the week after the company said it would introduce new models by early 2025. Some investors attributed that to bargain hunting after a painful selloff this year, which left the bar for good news much lower. Tesla shares remain down over 30 per cent for the year.

Solid corporate results have grown more important as climbing Treasury yields and stubborn inflation have raised uncertainty about stocks, said Chuck Carlson, chief executive officer at Horizon Investment Services.
