With yesterday\u2019s flight to safety taking a partial breather \u2013 broad equity indices and yesterday\u2019s tech losers opened higher, though regional banks and bond yields continued to decline \u2013 it is time to focus once again on impending earnings reports from megacap tech companies.  The combination of Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN) and Meta Platforms (META) represents about 12% of the S&P 500 Index (SPX) and 18% of the NASDAQ 100 (NDX).  They\u2019re simply too big to ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appears that yesterday\u2019s reaction to Tuesday\u2019s reports from Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) is causing options traders to have a bit more of a healthy respect for risk, at least for one of the names.  We noted<\/a> that skews in near-term options were almost freakishly flattish, so it is encouraging to see that one of the skews for today\u2019s crop of earnings releases are relatively more normal.  The other two, not so much\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going in both size and alphabetical order, we see that at-money AAPL options expiring tomorrow are pricing in a daily implied volatility of just over 5%.  That is actually a bit above the company\u2019s recent post-earnings history (-0.5%, -4.8%, +4.7%, +2.4%, +7.6%, +3.3%).  Consensus estimates are for EPS of $2.11 on revenues of $117.97 billion.  That revenue result would be +0.7% higher than it\u2019s year-ago quarter, which would break a streak of four successive quarters of year-over-year revenue declines.  EPS would be 12% above last year\u2019s $1.88, so the company is still delivering on the bottom line, if not the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there is a modest implied volatility plateau involving at-money options, we see that there is a pronounced, steep downside skew in the front expiration, and more subtle, but still typically risk-averse skews in the following two weeks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet front-week AAPL options display a peak probability for a slight upward move to $187.5-190.  The risk aversion only goes so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving onto AMZN, we see that options are clearly pricing in the likelihood for a significant post-earnings move, but with an inverted skew in near-term options.  The 9% implied volatility on at-money options expiring tomorrow reflects AMZN\u2019s history of major moves after reporting results (+6.8%, + 8.3%, -4%, -8.4%, -6.8%, +10.4%), but traders appear to believe that an upside move is as likely as a downward \u2013 if not more so.  Consensus estimates are indeed optimistic, with expected EPS of $0.80 on revenues of $166.21 billion.  Both are well above last year\u2019s $0.03 and $149.2 billion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sanguine mood, if not outright enthusiasm, is reflected in the IBKR Probability Lab for options expiring tomorrow.  The peak outcome is indeed in the $150-152 range, below the current $157 level, but cumulative probability (area under the curve) is clearly biased to the upside.  It\u2019s as though traders are saying, \u201cit\u2019s going up, we just don\u2019t know how far\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The patterns for META are quite similar to those of AMZN.  Frankly, I needed to double check to make sure that I indeed put the correct graphs with the correct company (despite the remarkable similarities of the lines and the Y-axes, the X-axes are indeed quite different) As with AMZN, META\u2019s at-money, front-week options have an implied volatility of about 9%.  Considering the last six post-earnings moves were -3.7%, +4.4%, +13.9%, +23.3%, -24.6% and -5.2%, a high level of implied vol seems quite appropriate.  Consensus estimates are for EPS of $5.04 on revenues of $39.01, <\/strong>both well above last year\u2019s $4.06 and $32.17 billion. But as with AMZN, the near-term skews are modestly inverted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"META<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And as with AMZN, the peak probability is for a slight downward move \u2013 in this case, to $380-$385 \u2013 the cumulative probabilities greatly lean toward upside outcomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, we would be remiss if we did not take a quick look at SPX.  Besides the key earnings results that we just discussed, tomorrow morning brings us the monthly employment data.  That\u2019s an awful lot for the market to digest.  Nonfarm Payrolls are expected to rise by 185,000 vs. last month\u2019s 216k, the Unemployment Rate is expected to rise by 0.1% to 3.8%, and the monthly growth in Average Hourly Earnings is expected to dip by -0.1 to 0.3%.  SPX options expiring tomorrow show a considerable amount of risk aversion, showing at-money implied volatility of about 1.2% and a steep skew:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow has the potential to be a highly consequential day in equity markets.  Three of the Magnificent 7 options along with an Employment report can do that.  The different factors can of course cancel each other out, but if we see a similar type of sentiment to what we saw yesterday, with good results still not being good enough, then investors have reason to be wary.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
