Why it matters
Forecasts can lift sentiment ahead of earnings, but concentration raises the risk that a few megacap disappointments overpower broad index results. Revenue visibility, depreciation and data-center spending plans deserve scrutiny alongside reported profit.
What to watch
Watch actual earnings and forward guidance; these estimates were forecasts, not already released results.
