Cold Pressed (AAPL)
No stock is as anticipated, nor will be scrutinized more closely, than the results from Apple, which will report after Tuesday's close
Apple Fiscal First Quarter Earnings Report (Tuesday, January 31, after the close)
Apple is the most heavily-weighted stock in the market-cap weighted S&P 500, the most heavily-weighted stock in the market-cap weighted Nasdaq 100, and the eighth highest-priced stock in the price-weighted Dow Jones Industrial Average, so it clearly has market-moving capability
Shares of AAPL have outperformed in early 2017. Therefore, investors are waiting to hear relatively good things from Apple when it reports its results and delivers guidance. Failure on either front could lead to a notable retreat in the stock, which would act as a major drag on the broader market.
