Electronic Stocks Earnings Slated for Jul 28: WCC, KEM, INVN

AAPL WCC KEM

Yesterday, we saw earnings reports of a couple of bellwethers in the technology sector like Apple (AAPL - Free Report) and Twitter . Apple’s third-quarter fiscal 2016 earnings and revenues managed to surpass the respective Zacks Consensus Estimate despite soft comps in China. Twitter’s second-quarter 2016 results were mixed with the bottom line faring better than the Zacks Consensus Estimate while the top line missed the same.

Just like other sectors, the performance of technology companies has been marred by global growth concerns, a strengthening dollar and market volatility. An added concern is Britain’s decision to exit the European Union. As a result of these factors, total earnings in the tech sector are expected to be down 3% in spite of 2.7% higher revenues compared with last quarter’s 4.5% earnings decline irrespective of 0.4% higher revenues.
