Last week ended badly for chip stocks. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 11% in five trading days — its worst week since March 2025 — leaving it nearly 24% below its late-June high, enough to count as a technical bear market.
The trigger was a new AI model from Chinese startup Moonshot AI called “Kimi K3,” which raised an uncomfortable question for investors: what if cheaper, competitive AI models mean the hundreds of billions of dollars hyperscalers are pouring into data centers won’t pay off the way Wall Street has assumed?
This week puts that question to the test. Tesla, Alphabet, and IBM all report earnings Wednesday, followed by Intel Thursday — a run of results that will show whether AI spending is still translating into revenue, or whether last week’s selloff was the start of something bigger.
Layered on top is a separate, live story: an escalating conflict in Iran has kept oil prices elevated and made energy the only S&P 500 sector to gain last Friday.
Below, we break down what’s scheduled, why it matters, and the 10 U.S. stocks most likely to move this week.
Quick Answer: What to Watch This Week
Wednesday, July 22 is the week’s biggest day: Tesla, Alphabet, and IBM all report earnings after the market closes. Thursday brings Intel’s earnings plus a European Central Bank rate decision, and Friday is the busiest single earnings morning of the week, with American Express, NextEra Energy, Verizon, SLB, Charter Communications, and HCA Healthcare all reporting.
The 10 stocks most likely to move this week are Tesla, Alphabet, Intel, Nvidia, American Express, Broadcom, IBM, RTX, Verizon, and SLB — a mix of companies reporting earnings and names directly tied to this week’s two biggest stories: the AI-spending debate and the Iran conflict’s effect on oil prices.
Why This Week Matters
Most weeks bring a handful of things worth watching. This week brings a genuine test of two separate storylines at once. The first is about artificial intelligence spending. For nearly two years, a handful of companies — Nvidia, Broadcom, and the big cloud providers among them — have driven much of the stock market’s gains on the promise that AI infrastructure spending would keep growing and eventually pay for itself.
Last week, that promise got its first serious challenge: the SOX (an index that tracks the biggest U.S. chip companies) dropped 11% in a single week after Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3 model suggested that cheaper AI models built outside the U.S. could compete with the expensive systems American companies have been racing to build.
What's the difference between a “bear market” for a sector index and for a single stock? A bear market usually means a decline of 20% or more from a recent high. For a single stock, that can happen off one bad earnings report. For a sector index like the SOX — which blends together dozens of chip companies — a 20%+ decline means enough of the industry's biggest names have fallen far enough, together, that investors are re-rating the whole sector's story, not just punishing one company's results.
Apollo Global Management’s chief economist, Torsten Sløk, has been warning about something more specific: a possible mismatch between how much money hyperscalers (the big cloud companies) are spending on AI infrastructure right now, and how much cash that spending is actually generating today.
If AI-linked revenue doesn’t show up fast enough, disappointing earnings could ripple through the broader market — a genuine risk given how much of the S&P 500’s recent gains have come from a small number of AI-linked stocks.
What is capital expenditure (capex), and why does it matter here? Capex is the money a company spends building things — like data centers or chip factories — before it earns any revenue from them. Investors watch the gap between a company's capex and its free cash flow (the cash left over after expenses) because a widening gap can signal that spending is outrunning the payoff, at least for now.
Why does one company's AI capex guidance move the whole chip sector, not just its own stock? Hyperscalers like Alphabet buy chips, servers, and cloud capacity from many of the same suppliers — companies like Nvidia, Broadcom, and Intel. When a major cloud provider raises or lowers its spending plans, it reshapes the expected order book for every company that sells into that spending. That's why Alphabet's Wednesday commentary can move a dozen other stocks that don't report until weeks later.
The second storyline is geopolitical. A fragile truce in the Iran conflict collapsed in mid-July, and reports suggest Iran has asked Yemen’s Houthi movement to be ready to close the Red Sea oil-export route if the U.S. strikes Iranian power plants.
Oil prices are now roughly 9% above where they were before the conflict began in February. Energy was the only S&P 500 sector to gain last Friday, a direct result of this story — and it’s why two of this week’s earnings reports, from defense contractor RTX and oilfield-services company SLB, are worth watching closely.

This Week’s Earnings Calendar
A dense stretch of Q2 2026 earnings lands mid-to-late week. Here’s who’s reporting and what to watch.
| Company (Ticker) | Date | What to Watch |
|---|---|---|
| Halliburton (HAL) | Tue, Jul 21 (AM) | ~$0.54 EPS estimate, ~$5.50B revenue estimate; oil-price sensitive given the Iran conflict |
| Danaher (DHR) | Tue, Jul 21 (AM) | Life-sciences/bioprocessing demand recovery; flagged as capable of a ~5% stock move |
| Tesla (TSLA) | Wed, Jul 22 (after close) | Automotive margins, Full Self-Driving progress, robotaxi unit economics |
| Alphabet (GOOGL) | Wed, Jul 22 (after close) | ~$2.87 EPS estimate; cloud growth and AI capex guidance — the week’s most important AI data point |
| IBM | Wed, Jul 22 (after close) | Enterprise AI/hybrid-cloud bookings, a less speculative AI angle |
| RTX | Thu, Jul 23 (AM) | Defense demand and tariff/supply-chain cost commentary |
| Intel (INTC) | Thu, Jul 23 (after close) | Already down ~21% since early July; foundry-turnaround credibility |

Figures above are analyst consensus estimates as of the report date and are subject to revision before each company reports. Several companies’ estimates were not yet public in the sources reviewed for this report.
It’s worth noticing how the week is structured: Wednesday belongs to consumer and technology names (Tesla, Alphabet, IBM), Thursday shifts to industrials and chips (RTX, Intel), and Friday spans nearly the whole economy at once — consumer credit, utilities, telecom, energy, cable, and hospitals all reporting within a few hours of each other.
That clustering is normal for earnings season, since most companies operate on similar quarterly calendars, but it does mean Friday’s market reaction will say more about overall investor mood than about any single sector.

Tesla, Alphabet, and IBM report Wednesday, Intel follows Thursday, and the chip sector is fighting to hold its footing after an 11% weekly drop — follow every move with free charts, watchlists, and price alerts.
Open Free Charts on TradingView →1. Tesla (TSLA)
Tesla reports Wednesday after the close, and this is a name with a well-earned reputation for outsized post-earnings moves in either direction. The robotaxi business — now running in five markets after a July 5 launch in Miami — has become just as important to the stock as the core car business.
- Bull case: Concrete robotaxi unit-economics disclosure and an accelerating multi-city rollout timeline could offset continued pressure on automotive margins from price cuts and financing incentives.
- Bear case: If margin compression deepens further and robotaxi commentary stays promotional rather than substantive, a market that has already bid the stock up on autonomy optionality could be disappointed.
- Key risk: Analyst price targets range from a $410 consensus to a Street-high $600 (Wedbush) — an unusually wide gap that signals genuine disagreement over how to value the business.
2. Alphabet (GOOGL)
Alphabet reports Wednesday after the close, and its cloud and capex commentary is arguably the single most important data point for the entire AI-spending debate that triggered last week’s chip selloff. Google Cloud grew 63% year-over-year last quarter with a backlog exceeding $460 billion.
- Bull case: Continued cloud acceleration paired with management reassurance that AI-linked spending is being met with proportional revenue growth would directly counter the capex-ROI fears rattling the sector.
- Bear case: Another capex increase without clear evidence of matching monetization would reinforce the exact “timeline mismatch” concern Apollo’s Torsten Sløk has been warning about.
- Key risk: Regulatory and antitrust scrutiny, plus intensifying competition from lower-cost AI models like Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3.
3. Intel (INTC)
Intel reports Thursday after the close, arriving in the middle of a sector-wide selloff that has already cost the stock roughly 21% since early July. Its foundry turnaround and AI-PC/data-center roadmap are under acute scrutiny.
- Bull case: Tangible foundry customer wins or improving capacity utilization would give investors a fundamental reason to view the recent selloff as overdone.
- Bear case: Guidance confirming softening demand or a delayed foundry ramp would validate the broader concern that chip-sector spending is decelerating faster than modeled.
- Key risk: Execution risk on the foundry turnaround and intensifying competition from TSMC and Samsung.
4. Nvidia (NVDA)
Nvidia doesn’t report earnings this week, but it remains the epicenter of the AI-capex debate that drove Friday’s selloff. Analyst sentiment stays overwhelmingly bullish even as the stock has sold off with the rest of the chip complex — a divergence worth watching.
- Bull case: Reassuring cloud and capex commentary from Alphabet on Wednesday could spark a relief rally across the entire chip complex, Nvidia included.
- Bear case: Continued competitive-model headlines and a weak Intel print Thursday could extend the sector-wide de-rating, hitting Nvidia hardest given its outsized index weight.
- Key risk: China export-policy risk and competitive inroads from custom silicon and lower-cost foreign AI models.
5. American Express (AXP)
American Express reports Friday before the open. As a premium-cardholder-focused issuer, it functions as a real-time gauge of high-income consumer spending health at a moment when broader labor-market data has softened.
- Bull case: Resilient card-member spending and stable credit metrics would reinforce the narrative that higher-income consumers keep spending through macro uncertainty.
- Bear case: Any sign of spending deceleration or rising delinquencies would be read as an early warning sign for the broader consumer-discretionary complex.
- Key risk: Credit-cycle normalization and competitive pressure in premium rewards-card offerings.
6. Broadcom (AVGO)
Broadcom doesn’t report this week, but it fell alongside the broader chip complex Friday and is directly exposed to the same AI-capex questions weighing on Nvidia and Intel through its custom-silicon partnerships with major hyperscalers.
- Bull case: Alphabet’s Wednesday capex commentary and any reassuring hyperscaler data points could stabilize sentiment across custom-silicon suppliers broadly.
- Bear case: Continued rotation out of AI-infrastructure names would extend the SOX’s bear-market decline, hitting high-multiple names like Broadcom hardest.
- Key risk: Customer concentration among a small number of hyperscalers and valuation sensitivity.
7. IBM
IBM reports Wednesday after the close, the same day as Tesla and Alphabet. As an enterprise-software and consulting-driven AI player rather than a pure infrastructure name, its results offer a less speculative, monetization-focused read on corporate AI adoption.
- Bull case: Continued AI-driven bookings growth in software and consulting would offer evidence that enterprise AI monetization is progressing even as infrastructure sentiment wobbles.
- Bear case: Soft bookings or delayed enterprise AI deployment commentary would reinforce the broader capex-versus-monetization concern dominating the week.
- Key risk: Legacy-business drag on overall growth rates.
8. RTX
RTX reports Thursday before the open, landing directly amid heightened, market-relevant geopolitical tension from the ongoing Iran conflict. Defense-budget tailwinds and commercial aerospace aftermarket recovery are both in focus.
- Bull case: Continued strength in defense bookings and commercial aftermarket revenue, with manageable tariff and supply-chain cost commentary.
- Bear case: Supply-chain or tariff-related cost pressures could weigh on margins even alongside strong top-line defense demand.
- Key risk: Program-execution risk and geopolitical-driven order volatility.
9. Verizon (VZ)
Verizon reports Friday. As a high-dividend-yield, defensive telecom name, it could see rotational interest if investors continue de-risking from higher-multiple AI-linked names following last week’s chip selloff.
- Bull case: Stable subscriber trends and continued dividend sustainability could attract defensive-minded capital rotating out of volatile tech names.
- Bear case: Continued competitive pressure in wireless pricing, or elevated network capex needs, could weigh on free cash flow.
- Key risk: Competitive intensity in wireless and broadband, and an elevated debt load.
10. SLB
SLB reports Friday morning, landing amid elevated and volatile oil prices tied directly to the active Iran conflict. Energy was the only S&P 500 sector to gain last Friday, and SLB’s report is the clearest single-stock test of whether that strength is translating into services demand.
- Bull case: Robust international and offshore activity, plus reassuring commentary on Middle East operational exposure, would support the stock.
- Bear case: Further escalation in the Iran conflict could disrupt regional operations, while a sudden de-escalation could cause oil prices — and energy-sector sentiment — to reverse sharply lower.
- Key risk: Direct geopolitical exposure to Middle East operations and two-way oil-price volatility.

Conclusion
The week of July 20–24, 2026 arrives as a genuine referendum on the AI trade that has powered U.S. stocks for the better part of two years. Unlike the prior week’s inflation-and-Fed-driven volatility, this week’s central tension is more fundamental: does hyperscaler AI infrastructure spending still generate the returns investors have been pricing in, or was last week’s semiconductor bear-market entry the first crack in a durable re-rating? Alphabet’s Wednesday earnings report, landing alongside Tesla and IBM, is the most direct test case markets have had all year.
Layered on top of that is a genuinely live geopolitical crisis, with an unresolved Iran conflict keeping oil prices elevated and volatile — a story RTX’s Thursday report and SLB’s Friday report both speak to directly. As always, treat this as a starting point for your own research rather than a set of instructions. Markets can and do surprise in both directions, and every stock discussed above carries real risk alongside its opportunity.
