Big Tech Earnings Coming Up: Spotlight on Mag 7 ETFs
The second-quarter earnings season has turned into high gear, and the so-called "Magnificent 7" companies are in focus. Four of the "Magnificent 7" members — Microsoft, Meta Platforms, Apple and Amazon — are slated to report this week, accounting for almost a third of the S&P 500 members.
The second-quarter earnings of the "Mag 7" companies are expected to be up 14% from the same period last year on 11.9% higher revenues. These expectations are a blend of actual results from Alphabet and Tesla and estimates for the remaining five, of which four are on deck to report this week. Microsoft and Meta Platforms will report after market close on July 30, while Apple and Amazon will report on July 31. NVIDIA is likely to report later next month.
The whole group has led the market's rebound from the April lows to new all-time highs. Only Apple is the laggard, as the company has not yet reaped the benefits of AI. Other members of the "Magnificent 7" are leaders in the AI space and are actively investing in setting up datacenters and related infrastructure that will enable them to run the large-language models (read: Mag 7 ETFs Surge: Will the Rally Keep Rolling?).
Microsoft
Microsoft has an Earnings ESP of -0.64% and a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). According to our methodology, the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they're reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Microsoft saw no earnings estimate revision over the past 30 days for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Its earnings track record is impressive, with the four-quarter earnings surprise being 5.21%, on average. The Zacks Consensus Estimate indicates earnings growth of 13.6% and revenue growth of 13.9% from the year-ago quarter.
The world's largest software company will continue to grow as artificial intelligence applications drive more cloud infrastructure usage. Microsoft's Azure cloud business is benefiting from the company's partnership with AI leader OpenAI.
Wall Street is clearly bullish on the world's largest software company heading into the results, with an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.23 made by 47 brokerage firms. Out of them, 39 are Strong Buy and five are Buy. Strong Buy and Buy, respectively, account for 82.98% and 10.64% of all recommendations. The average price target for Microsoft comes to $552.35, ranging from a low of $475.00 to a high of $626.00.
Some analysts have also raised the target price on Microsoft. Evercore ISI raised its price target to $545.00 from $515.00, citing that the company's momentum in Azure and AI will continue to drive "durable double-digit top and bottom line growth." Wedbush lifted the price target to $6000. According to Wedbush, the company "is just hitting its next phase of monetization on the AI front," thanks to the adoption of Copilot, its chatbot, and the cloud-computing platform Azure (read: ETFs to Surge as Microsoft Tops $3.5T, Reclaims Top Spot).
Meta Platforms
Meta Platforms has an Earnings ESP of +2.91% and a Zacks Rank #1. The social media giant saw a negative earnings estimate revision of five cents for the second quarter over the past seven days. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the yet-to-be-reported quarter indicates substantial year-over-year earnings growth of 12.98%. Revenues are expected to increase 14.77% year over year. Meta Platforms delivered an earnings surprise of 17.30%, on average, in the last four quarters.
Meta currently has a Wall Street analyst recommendation of 1.35 made by 55 brokerage firms. Of these, 45 are Strong Buy and three are Buy. Strong Buy and Buy, respectively, account for 81.82% and 5.45% of all recommendations. Based on short-term price targets offered by 52 analysts, the average price target for Meta Platforms comes to $756.13, ranging from a low of $566.00 to a high of $935.00.
Meta's AI strategy now serves as the backbone of its business transformation. The company has now committed $60–70 billion in capital expenditure for this year, with the lion's share earmarked for AI infrastructure. This includes cutting-edge data centers like Prometheus and Hyperion, as well as the deployment of NVIDIA's Grace Hopper Superchip. These bold investments are already delivering results across Meta's platforms. The 30% adoption of Advantage+ is driving a 5% boost in Reels conversion rates. AI-driven recommendations have lifted time spent on Facebook by 7% and on Threads by a remarkable 35%. Instagram Reels engagement is up 24%, fueled by improved algorithmic personalization.
The world's largest social media platform projects revenues in the range of $42.5-$45.5 billion for the second quarter.
Apple
Apple has an Earnings ESP of +3.52% and a Zacks Rank #3. Apple saw a positive earnings estimate revision of a penny over the past 30 days for the fiscal third quarter of 2025. The iPhone maker has a strong track record of positive earnings surprises. It delivered an average earnings surprise of 4.68% in the trailing four quarters. The Zacks Consensus Estimate indicates a modest year-over-year increase of 1.43% for earnings and 3.67% for revenues.
The tech giant currently has a Wall Street analyst recommendation of 2.04 made by 37 brokerage firms. Of these, 18 are Strong Buy and three are Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 48.65% and 8.11% of all recommendations. Based on short-term price targets offered by 33 analysts, the average price target for Apple comes to $231.52. The forecasts range from a low of $139.00 to a high of $300.00.
On the last earnings call, the iPhone maker guided "low to mid-single digit" sales growth for the fiscal third quarter. Chief executive Tim Cook warned that Apple is likely to face a $900 million headwind as a result of tariffs. He added that it is "very difficult" to predict beyond June due to uncertainties surrounding the U.S.-China trade policy.
Amazon
Amazon has an Earnings ESP of +7.37% and a Zacks Rank #1. The company saw a positive earnings estimate revision of a penny over the past seven days for the second quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate indicates a year-over-year earnings increase of 8.13% and substantial revenue growth of 9.67% for the to-be-reported quarter. Additionally, Amazon's earnings surprise history is impressive, with the four-quarter average surprise being 20.68%.
Amazon currently has a Wall Street analyst recommendation of 1.15 made by 55 brokerage firms. Of these, 48 are Strong Buy and six are Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 87.27% and 10.91% of all recommendations. Based on short-term price targets offered by 53 analysts, the average price target for Amazon comes to $254.38, ranging from a low of $195.00 to a high of $305.00.
Amazon continues to dominate the e-commerce business and is expanding its footprint in cloud computing, advertising and various other sectors. The world's largest online retailer projected revenues of $159-$164 billion for the second quarter of 2025. Blockbuster Prime Day Event sales are likely to boost revenues for the company. Like other tech companies, Amazon is ramping up investments in data centers, chips and the power needed for AI workloads. It is also investing in its own computer chips and those developed by NVIDIA.
However, CFO Brian Olsavsky, on the last earnings call, issued a cautious outlook due to uncertain consumer demand in the face of President Trump's shifting tariff policies.

Buzz on the Bullboards: TSX rebounds with energy, aviation, and battery power plays
The S&P/TSX Composite Index rallied by 2 per cent on Tuesday and 1 per cent on Wednesday, marking one of its strongest single-day performances in recent weeks. This rally followed a rough prior week, where trade tensions and weak commodity prices had weighed heavily on investor sentiment. The rebound was led by gains in mining and energy stocks, with companies like First Quantum Minerals (TSX:FM, Forum) and Barrick Gold (TSX:ABX, Forum) posting strong intraday performances. Despite a shortened trading week, the TSX demonstrated resilience and investor optimism, setting a positive tone for the month ahead. This article is a journalistic opinion piece which has been written based on independent research. It is intended to inform investors and should not be taken as a recommendation or financial advice. 1. Baytex Energy Corp. (TSX:BTE, Forum) Sector: Energy | Market cap: Mid-cap Baytex Energy delivered a solid performance in Q2 2025, aligning with its full-year operational and financial plan. The company reported: Adjusted funds flow of C$367 million or $0.48 per basic share of or Net income of C$152 million or $0.20 per basic share of or Free cash flow of C$3 million , with C$21 million returned to shareholders via dividends and buybacks of , with returned to shareholders via dividends and buybacks Net debt reduction of C$96 million, bringing total net debt to C$2.3 billion Operationally, Baytex averaged 148,095 boe/d, with 84% weighted toward oil and NGLs.

The company plans to allocate all free cash flow to debt repayment after dividends, targeting net debt of C$2 billion by year-end. Investor Takeaway: Baytex is demonstrating disciplined capital allocation and operational efficiency, making it a compelling pick for energy-focused investors seeking value and growth. 2. Air Canada (TSX:AC, Forum) Sector: Transportation | Market cap: Large-cap Air Canada is facing turbulence on two fronts: labour unrest and disappointing Q2 earnings. Revenue: C$5.63 billion (up 2 per cent YoY) C$5.63 billion (up 2 per cent YoY) Net income: $0.60 per share (down from $0.98 in Q2 2024) $0.60 per share (down from $0.98 in Q2 2024) Free cash flow: C$183 million C$183 million Adjusted EBITDA: C$909 million Despite strong performance from Aeroplan, Cargo, and Air Canada Vacations, the airline's profitability fell short of expectations, leading to an 11 per cent drop in share price following the earnings release. Compounding investor concerns, nearly 10,000 flight attendants voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike amid stalled contract negotiations. The union cited issues such as unpaid work during boarding, low wages, and rest rules. A strike could begin as early as August 16, pending legal cooling-off periods and notice requirements. Air Canada has responded with a C$500 million share buyback and full repayment of convertible notes, signaling a commitment to shareholder value. The airline reaffirmed its 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance of C$3.2 to C$3.6 billion and maintains a long-term revenue target of C$30 billion by 2028. Investor Takeaway: While Air Canada remains focused on long-term growth, short-term risks from labour disputes and declining profitability may weigh on investor sentiment. 3. Nano One Materials (TSX:NANO, Forum) Sector: Clean Tech / Materials | Market Cap: Small-cap Nano One Materials has been selected to join the Arkansas Lithium Technology Accelerator (ALTA)—America's first lithium and battery supply chain accelerator. This move could position Nano One as a key player in reshoring battery materials production and reducing foreign dependency. Key highlights: US$12.9 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Defense from the U.S. Department of Defense Expansion of its Candiac facility in Québec , targeting defense and energy storage markets , targeting defense and energy storage markets Support for AI data centres and EVs through licensing and joint ventures through licensing and joint ventures Anchored by its Innovation Centre in Burnaby, which drives process development and scale-up Nano One's proprietary One-Pot process eliminates intermediate steps and foreign-controlled inputs, offering a scalable, modular solution for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode production. This makes the company a strategic asset in both commercial and defense supply chains. Investor Takeaway: Nano One's inclusion in ALTA and its growing relevance to national security and clean energy markets make it a promising long-term investment in the battery materials space. Final thoughts These three TSX stocks—Baytex Energy, Air Canada, and Nano One Materials—are navigating vastly different landscapes, from oilfield innovation to labour unrest and battery tech acceleration. For investors, each presents unique opportunities and risks. As always, deeper due diligence is essential. Investors should review each company's financials, strategic outlook, and sector dynamics before making any decisions. Consider how macroeconomic factors, regulatory changes, and global trends may impact these businesses in the months ahead. Staying informed and agile will be key to capitalizing on these developments. For previous editions of Buzz on the Bullboards, click here.

Thus, investors should be on the lookout for stocks ready to make a big move.
