Wedbush analyst Jay McCanless reiterates Meritage Homes (NYSE:MTH) with a Underperform and maintains $148 price target.
Sentiment continues to be jittery, with the major index futures priming for a lower opening on Thursday as traders look ahead to the first read of second-quarter GDP data and more earnings. The tech space could once again drag the broader market after a few disappointing earnings reports from the likes of Franco-Italian chipmaker STMicroelectronics N.V. (NYSE:STM), which predominantly supplies to the automotive end market, and semiconductor test-equipment company Teradyne, Inc. (NASDAQ:TER). Traders may also stay glued to second-quarter GDP data to confirm the slowdown suggested by some recent data does not point to a hard landing. That said, bond yields are dipping as the market, factori

Wall Street experienced a turbulent session on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 index heading toward its worst performance in over a year and the tech-focused Nasdaq 100 eyeing its fifth decline in the last six sessions.

Wall Street is gearing up for a negative start on Thursday, as traders mull over earnings from Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Alphabet, Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG), which incidentally haven’t been received well by the Street. While Tesla’s earnings were dismissed as of low quality, investors worried about Alphabet’s massive capex boost as it eyes supremacy in the AI market. The market may also focus on private sector activity readings due shortly after the market opens. “Mega tech has an unprecedented influence on market moves and overall earnings,” fund manager Louis Navellier said in a note. Traders may choose to remain on the sidelines until they get more clarity on the earnings f

About 14% of the S&P 500 companies have reported their June quarter earnings and the blended earnings growth rate for the companies constituting the broader index remains healthy. The coming week will see the official start of the tech reporting season, which could potentially decide the fate of the market, which has seen a steep pullback in the recent week. The Week That Was: The tech earnings season had a modest start last week with the earnings report from chip-equipment maker ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:ASML). The stock slumped about 16%, dragged by its weak third-quarter outlook and geopolitical concerns surrounding the China chip ban. Netflix, Inc.’s (NASDAQ:NFLX) guidance disappointe
