This week marks the high point of earnings season. Most of the megacap tech stocks that make up the bulk of the weighting in the NASDAQ 100 (NDX) and a significant piece of the S&P 500 (SPX) report this week. Tesla (TSLA) kicked off this particular parade last week, and this afternoon brings us Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL). MSFT is the second largest US stock by market cap, and the combined market caps of the two classes of Alphabet combine to put that company in third place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So far, markets have tended to take earnings reports with a generally positive slant. Sure, there have been notable losers like SNAP, and TSLA\u2019s report was not well received, but investors are willing to reward companies that meet expectations and keep forward guidance in place. Along with the markets\u2019 recent bounces, this tells us that \u201cgood enough\u201d earnings are indeed good news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The options market reflects the positive frame of mind for MSFT. The IBKR Probability Lab shows a peak probability in the $252 range for options expiring on Friday. That is about 2% above current levels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The multi-expiry skew graph shows the normal steepness in below-market weekly options, but it flattens to normal levels with options expiring next week. The at-money volatility of about 66 implies post-earnings move greater than 4%, which is not too far out of line with MSFT\u2019s average 3.6% average post-earnings reaction. When we consider that the last four post-earnings moves for MSFT have all been to the upside (6.7%, 4.8%, 2.9% and 4.2%), the positive bias does not seem unreasonable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We see something similar for Alphabet. We will be using the GOOGL options for illustration because their volume tends to be somewhat higher than GOOG, though the metrics are all quite close. The probability peaks at the $105 range, above the current stock price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The multi-expiry skew graph shows a fairly typical downward bias, but can hardly be considered to be especially pronounced, particularly once we get past this week. The at-money volatility for this week is 77, which implies a post-earnings move slightly above the average 4.7%. GOOGL\u2019s most recent moves have been large, with 3 of 4 being higher (7.7% -3.7%, 7.5%, 5%). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing that both companies share is a propensity to reward holders after their earnings releases, even in this year\u2019s turbulent markets. That goes some way to explaining their high valuations. Options traders appear to be expecting the solid run of results to continue for MSFT and GOOGL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
