The Week That Was, The Week Ahead: Macro & Markets, July 27, 2025
Everything to Know about Macro and Markets The S&P 500 (SPX) touched new intraday highs on Friday, ending the week up 1.5%. Major indices finished the week on a strong note, thanks to solid corporate earnings and favorable trade developments. The Nasdaq-100 (NDX) and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) ended the week 0.9% and 1.3% higher, respectively. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Weekly Gains on Strong Earnings and Trade Deals The S&P 500 posted its fifth straight day of closing records on Friday. Interestingly, the index ended above the 6,300 level for the first time on Monday. Strong earnings reported by several companies, notably by Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL) and telecom giant Verizon (VZ), fueled last week's rally. According to FactSet, out of the 34% of S&P 500 companies that have reported Q2 results so far, 80% have exceeded earnings expectations, a proportion that is above the 5-year average of 78%. However, the magnitude of earnings surprises is below average levels. Additionally, the trade agreement between the U.S. and Japan eased concerns about the ongoing tariff wars and contributed to last week's rally. U.S. President Donald Trump called it 'perhaps the largest Deal ever made,' while adding that Japan would invest $550 billion in the U.S. The deal lowers the tariffs on auto exports, a major driver of Japan's economy, to 15% from the existing 25% that is imposed across countries. A Big Week Ahead The week ahead is expected to be quite eventful, given that it includes the August tariff deadline, the July Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, earnings reports from four of the Magnificent 7 stocks, and some key economic releases. The Federal Reserve's two-day policy meeting will be in focus this week, especially due to President Trump's persistent attacks on the central bank's Chair Jerome Powell. The independence of the Fed is being debated, with reporters expected to question Powell about the same at the post-meeting press conference. Despite growing pressure from Trump to slash interest rates, the Fed is expected to hold the benchmark short-term borrowing rate steady in a target range of 4.25% to 4.50%. Meanwhile, the August 1 deadline to raise tariffs is approaching this week. Trump's erratic trade policy decisions have been making headlines. Following the trade agreement with Japan, all eyes are on the possibility of a deal with the European Union (EU). Aside from Trump's trade stance, earnings from four of the Magnificent 7 stocks – Meta Platforms (META), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), and Apple (AAPL), are eagerly awaited. Investors will be focusing on the commentary from management of these companies regarding the business backdrop and artificial intelligence (AI) spending. Finally, the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) price index report, scheduled for release on Thursday, and the July nonfarm payrolls report, due on Friday, could impact investor sentiment. Experts expect the jobs report to indicate a deceleration in job additions in July compared to the previous month. Meanwhile, the PCE price index is expected to show a rise in inflation. Stocks That Made the News Alphabet impressed investors with its market-beating second-quarter revenue and earnings. The company raised its capital expenditure guidance for 2025 from $75 billion to $85 billion to support robust demand for its cloud offerings amid the ongoing AI boom. Verizon also delivered upbeat results for the June quarter, thanks to strength in its wireless service business. The company raised the lower end of its full-year earnings guidance to reflect strong demand for its premium plans and the Trump administration's new tax law. IBM (IBM) stock fell even after delivering better-than-expected second-quarter results. The company's software business lagged the Street's revenue expectations. The tech giant also noted that some clients are being cautious in signing new deals due to geopolitical pressures. Tesla (TSLA) reported dismal second-quarter results, with the electric vehicle (EV) maker's CEO Elon Musk cautioning investors about a 'few rough quarters' ahead due to the expiration of the federal tax credits. TSLA stock is down 22% year-to-date, as investors are concerned about weak demand due to macro pressures and rising competition, a lack of innovation, and Musk's political ambitions. Intel (INTC) reported mixed results for the second quarter. The chip giant exceeded the consensus revenue expectations, but the bottom line fell short of estimates. Further, CEO Lip-Bu Tan announced significant cuts in chip factory construction. The company is streamlining its operations and cutting costs in an attempt to revive its business. Kohl's (KSS) made headlines this week as it became the latest stock to join the meme stock frenzy. Retail investors are buying stocks of companies like Kohl's and online residential real estate platform Opendoor Technologies (OPEN), which generally have high short seller interest, to trigger rapid rallies. UnitedHealth (UNH) stock declined after the health insurer disclosed in an SEC filing that it 'proactively' reached out to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) after reports of investigations into certain aspects of the company's participation in the Medicare program surfaced. The company added that it has started complying with formal criminal and civil requests from the DOJ. Data analytics company Palantir Technologies (PLTR) stock continued to rally this week, thanks to AI tailwinds. PLTR stock is now one of the 20 most valuable companies in the U.S. Paramount (PARA) secured the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) approval for the $8 billion merger with Skydance Media. The Q2 2025 earnings season is in full swing, with many prominent U.S. companies' earnings scheduled for this week. Spotlight will be on the earnings reports of PayPal (PYPL), Visa (V), Boeing (BA), SoFi Technologies (SOFI), UnitedHealth (UNH), Microsoft (MSFT), Meta Platforms (META), Alibaba (BABA), Ford (F), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Exxon Mobil (XOM), and Chevron (CVX).

UnitedHealth (UNH), one of the prominent players in the health insurance space, is scheduled to announce its second-quarter earnings on July 29. The stock has dropped 43.8% year-to-date, hit by several issues, including the suspension of its guidance, escalating medical costs, and a leadership shakeup that included the sudden departure of its CEO, Andrew Witty. Wall Street analysts expect the company to report earnings per share of $4.48, representing a 34% decrease year-over-year.

It's important to note that UNH has an impressive track record with earnings, having exceeded EPS estimates in eight out of the past nine consecutive quarters. On July 24, UnitedHealth Group (UNH) revealed in an SEC filing that it is under formal investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) over its Medicare billing practices. The company said it is cooperating with both civil and criminal probes into whether it improperly raised patient diagnoses to secure higher payments from the government. J.P. Morgan analyst Lisa Gill remains optimistic ahead of UnitedHealth's earnings, viewing the DOJ probe as part of a broader industry trend. She maintained an Overweight rating on the stock, expecting a potential rebound despite near-term uncertainty. Analyst's Views Ahead of UNH's Q2 Earnings Heading into the Q2 print, Deutsche Bank analyst George Hill lowered his price target to $328 from $362 but reiterated a Buy rating. The analyst noted that investor sentiment 'has deteriorated significantly' due to a series of unfavorable news. The top-rated analyst lowered his estimates, citing ongoing concerns around Optum Health, the company's healthcare services unit. Also, Leerink Partners analyst Whit Mayo lowered the price target for UNH stock to $340 from $355 and reiterated a Buy rating. He remains 'cautiously optimistic' about the stock heading into Q2 earnings, given the challenging backdrop.

Turning to Wall Street, UNH stock has a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 18 Buys, five Holds, and one Sell assigned in the last three months.

Tesla or Alphabet: Bank of America Picks the Superior ‘Magnificent 7' Stock to Buy After Earnings
Earnings season is in full swing, and the numbers are coming in strong. Roughly 83% of S&P 500 companies that have reported so far have topped estimates – a pace we haven't seen since Q2 of 2021. That strong showing has fueled bullish sentiment, pushing the S&P 500 to 10 record closes in the past 19 trading sessions. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. But not all 'Magnificent 7' stocks are riding the same wave. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL), two of the group's biggest names, delivered very different earnings stories this season – and that contrast has caught the attention of Bank of America. BofA's analysts took a close look at both companies following their latest reports and issued a clear verdict on which one stands out as the better buy right now. Using TipRanks database, we've compared the Wall Street consensus on each to see how the outlooks stack up. Let's dive in. Tesla Few companies command attention quite like Tesla, a brand that's become synonymous with innovation, ambition, and controversy in equal measure. But beneath the headlines and hype, the company has been navigating an increasingly complicated landscape – one shaped by shifting politics and market pressures. Yet, even amid these challenges, Tesla continues to lean into its innovation-led identity. Musk has positioned the company at the forefront of real-world AI applications, particularly in autonomous driving and humanoid robotics through the Optimus program. While these ventures aren't yet driving profits, they underscore Tesla's ambitions for the future of mobility and automation. Those ambitions are already gaining traction. In its second quarter report, Tesla highlighted the successful rollout of its Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, a pilot program that has quickly expanded. The company is now pursuing regulatory clearance to replicate this model across multiple states, including Arizona, Florida, and Nevada. Musk's aim is to bring the Robotaxi service to half the U.S. population by year-end, pending approval. Meanwhile, however, Tesla's bread-and-butter automotive segment showed signs of strain, posting $16.66 billion in revenue in Q2, a 16% decline from the year-ago quarter. Overall, total revenue came in at $22.5 billion, down 12% year-over-year but still $408 million above expectations. Non-GAAP EPS landed at 40 cents, matching forecasts, though down 23% from the prior-year period. Covering TSLA stock for Bank of America, analyst Federico Merendi takes particular note of the company's work with AI while also acknowledging its headwinds. 'Tesla commentary on future developments in terms of real-world AI (Autonomous vehicles/robotaxi and Optimus) remains bullish. However, the company is facing challenging times. CEO Elon Musk indicated that Tesla 'probably could have a few rough quarters' because of the policy changes in the US (mainly around the phase out of IRA incentives). Commentary also suggests that the tariff impact may increase in the future. However, by end of 2026, management thinks that Tesla's economics will be compelling with autonomy at scale… Despite the challenges ahead, we see TSLA as the company with the largest advantage in terms of autonomous driving initiatives and physical AI applications currently in the marketplace,' Merendi opined. Even though Merendi sees underlying strengths in Tesla, he rates the stock as Neutral (i.e., Hold), with a $341 price target that points toward a one-year upside potential of ~8%. (To watch Merendi's track record, click here) That stance mirrors the broader sentiment on Wall Street, where the consensus rating is also a Hold, based on 35 recent reviews that break down into 14 Buys, 14 Holds, and 7 Sells. With TSLA currently trading at $316.06, the $314.14 average price target suggests shares will stay range-bound for the foreseeable future. (See TSLA stock forecast) Alphabet Next up is Alphabet, best known as the parent company of Google. Through Google and its other major subsidiary, YouTube, Alphabet maintains a dominant position in online search and video content. These platforms serve as pillars of its digital advertising business, which remains the company's primary revenue engine. Like several of its Magnificent Seven peers, Alphabet is making significant strides in applied AI. It already holds a strong position in cloud computing through Google Cloud, and it's expanding that subscription-based platform with AI-powered tools. At the same time, the company is weaving AI capabilities throughout its core products. Google Search now includes a generative AI 'overview' – a summary placed above standard results – designed to enhance how queries are interpreted and answered with natural language. That innovation hasn't come without controversy. Alphabet is facing early legal scrutiny over its AI overview feature. A notable example is a lawsuit filed by Chegg, which alleges that Google's new search format siphons user traffic away from traditional links, impacting smaller businesses that rely heavily on search visibility. In the UK, a coalition of publishers has filed a similar complaint. While these cases remain limited for now, they reflect growing concern over how generative AI could reshape the web's traffic and revenue models. Meanwhile, Alphabet is contending with broader regulatory challenges. The company is currently appealing a 2024 decision in the DOJ's landmark antitrust case targeting Google Search, which was decided in federal court in Washington, D.C. A separate antitrust ruling – focused on Google's digital advertising practices – was issued in early 2025 by a court in Virginia, with the Department of Justice prevailing in both cases. Remedies in both matters are still being determined, and final outcomes are expected later this year or in 2026. Despite these legal overhangs, Alphabet's business momentum remains strong. The company reported $96.4 billion in revenue for the second quarter of 2025, a 14% increase from the prior year and $2.4 billion above consensus estimates. Earnings per share came in at $2.31, up 22% year-over-year and ahead of expectations by 12 cents. Much of that strength was driven by Google Cloud, which continues to serve as a major growth engine. The segment delivered $13.6 billion in revenue – marking a 32% annual increase – thanks to rising demand for AI infrastructure and generative AI solutions. Together, these results underscore just how central AI has become to Alphabet's strategy. AI is central to Bank of America analyst Justin Post's outlook on GOOGL shares. He believes the company's strength in AI will provide a key source of support, even as it navigates ongoing legal woes. 'Another stable qtr for Search results increases our confidence in the AI transition and should ease concerns on a potential revenue reset. We acknowledge growing users of OpenAI but think Street could be underappreciating potential AI driven upside for Search (more use, better ads) & Cloud. At ~$195, stock valued at 19x our '26 EPS, with the core business at just 12x in our SOTP (vs S&P at 21.5x). Upcoming DoJ case remedy ruling (expected in Aug) remains an overhang but could also be a clearing event,' Post explained. Quantifying this stance, Post gives GOOGL shares a Buy rating, along with a $217 price target that suggests a 12% potential gain over the next 12 months. (To watch Post's track record, click here) The Street as a whole gives GOOGL shares a Strong Buy consensus rating, based on 37 recent analyst reviews, which break down to 28 Buys and 9 Holds. The average price target of $215.11 is slightly below Post's and indicates room for a one-year gain of 11%. (See GOOGL stock forecast) While both Mag 7 stocks have underlying strengths, disparate earnings results can affect the analysts' outlooks, and we see here that Bank of America is recommending Alphabet over Tesla as the one to buy after the Q2 earnings releases.
