It’s a big day for U.S. tech earnings. Alphabet Q3 numbers soar past expectations after advertising revenue bounced back following its first ever quarterly decline. Apple also beats analysts’ expectations but investor reaction is muted on a lack of guidance and disappointing iPhone sales. Amazon shares see-sawed wildly in extended trading yesterday with stocks initially up on the online retail giant’s 40 per cent Q3 revenue hike. However, they swung into the negative on news of $4bn of virus-related cost-cutting. Meanwhile, Facebook reports a boost in ad sales, but a drop in North American users keeps sentiment flat. Twitter also sees a dip in user growth while revenue came in better than expected.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
