US stocks face a crowded calendar next week, with roughly one-third of S&P 500 companies due to report earnings alongside a Federal Reserve rate decision, according to an October 24 BlockBeats outlook.
AI spending comes under scrutiny
Alphabet and Microsoft are scheduled to report on Wednesday, followed by Amazon on Thursday. The report said investors would scrutinize capital spending guidance and whether large investments in AI are producing returns.
Fed guidance also in focus
Markets expect the Fed to pause rate increases at its Wednesday meeting, the report said. Investors will look to the subsequent press conference for clues about the December policy decision.
