Eh I’d tread carefully with that. Analyst have been revising earnings to the upside which usually indicates a beat or strong optimism. The fact that the stock is so beaten down this month may make even okay earnings jolt the stock price upwards.

>I think that BABA's earnings are going to be lower than expected tomorrow, due to the current situation in China. However, I believe that the stock is still a good investment despite this news.

Back in December when i first read about META's 11k planned layoff, my first reaction was "Wow! That's more than 50% of their company!". Its only later that i found out that META now has close to 100k employees, or 80,000 more than they did mere 6 years ago!

The tech companies and their profits have grown exponentially over the last 12 years . As the revenue went up, so did the headcount. My fear is if mass layoffs in thousands are being done when the stock market is still high and companies are still beating expectations, then imagine how things will look like especially in tech when the downturn finally arrives and revenue/profit begin taking a hit.
