In this episode, we break down blockbuster Q1 2026 earnings from Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Alphabet — four of the most powerful companies on the planet reporting in the same afternoon. We cover what AI is doing to margins, cloud growth, and capital spending plans that are now measured in the hundreds of billions. We also unpack why the market cheered Google and punished Meta, even as both posted exceptional results. Then we turn to the Fed.
