Good MorningEquity markets hovered near all-time highs on Tuesday as S&P 500 earnings came into sharp focus. The takeaway is that earnings growth is present for the index, but results are spotty from industry to industry and company to company. Verizon and GE Aerospace's results were solid but less than forecasted by their consensus estimates, leaving their stocks down significantly, while others, including General Motors, outperformed.
Shares of hyperscalers Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft were among the day's leaders, driven by hopes for profitable AI applications.

Microsoft led the group with a 3% gain and is on track to continue the uptrend in share prices this year. Microsoft and other big tech names will report earnings next week.
