SOFI, UBER, CVS, EDIT, NTLA: Earnings Preview

Disappointing big tech earnings and guidance came from Meta (NASDAQ: META), Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) last week, but the markets showed resilience. Although Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) beat analyst estimates, it is increasingly looking vulnerable with its close ties to China. 

Will tech stocks recover?
