  • Stock futures dip after mixed earnings from Microsoft and Meta; S&P 500 hits record high
    May 1, 2026, 6:24 AM EDT. Stocks surged Thursday with the S&P 500 closing above 7,200 for the first time, reaching an all-time high driven by strong earnings from Caterpillar and Alphabet. Caterpillar's nearly 10% jump and positive outlook suggest resilience despite lackluster U.S. economic growth in Q1. Alphabet's revenue beat and increased 2026 capital spending also buoyed markets. However, Meta and Microsoft shares declined 8.6% and 3.9%, respectively, due to rising capital expenditure concerns and disappointing user growth. Experts remain cautious about long-term tech valuations amid heavy investment in AI infrastructure. Still, April marked a strong month for major indices: the S&P 500 up 10.4%, Nasdaq 15.3%, and Dow 7.1%, signaling investor optimism despite underlying uncertainties.
