NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Investors next week are hoping stocks will see their first weekly gains so far this year, as earnings season gets fully under way with a slew of key reports from the technology sector, which some believe could remain shielded from a U.S. slowdown.
"We have a better chance of having a neutral to slightly positive week next week," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Jefferies & Co.
Unlike the week just ended, the equities market won't be dominated by results from embattled financial firms. "We have a chance of hearing from other verticals in the [S&P 500 Index] where not everything is bad news," he added.
Earnings highlights from the tech sector include Apple Inc. (AAPL:Apple Inc )
and Texas Instruments Inc. (TXN:Texas Instruments Incorporated )
on Tuesday and Motorola Inc. (MOT:Motorola, Inc ) and eBay Inc. (EBAY:ebay inc ) on Wednesday, along with Microsoft Corp. (MSFT:Microsoft Corporation )
and Sun Microsystems Inc. (JAVA:sun microsystems inc) on Thursday.
Also, Broadcom Corp (BRCM:broadcom corp cl ) and Juniper Networks Inc. (JNPR:juniper networks inc ) report Thursday.
For the whole spectrum of S&P 500 companies, however, earnings are expected to have slumped over 12% year on year in the fourth quarter of 2007, which would make for the worst earnings season in nearly six years, according to Thomson Financial.
The slump is mostly due to a 59% year-on-year slide in profits at financial firms, whose results were hit by bad home loans. But outside of financials, earnings are still expected to have grown close to 11% year on year.
não esquecer que amanha os EUA estão fechados.

Como as tecnológicas americanas são grandes exportadoras e o dólar anda baixo, é de esperar vendas acrescidas, logo resultados animadores (para essas empresas).
Mas o pior é o sector financeiro, esse vai arrastando a asa... ;D
