Wall Street Rallies on Strong Tech Earnings, Tesla Bucks Trend
Wall Street surged as Microsoft and Meta delivered earnings that exceeded expectations, overshadowing earlier concerns about weak GDP data and White House policy ambiguity. Dow futures climbed 138 points (0.3%), while S&P 500 futures rose 0.8% and Nasdaq 100 futures jumped 1.3%—all driven by tech sector performance.
Meta gained over 5% in extended trading after reporting Q1 revenue above estimates. Microsoft outperformed with a 7% leap, fueled by Azure’s robust cloud growth and optimistic forward guidance. Tesla diverged sharply, dropping 3% post-market on Robinhood amid investor skepticism.
