Jay Mehta: Cautious Optimism on MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN Earnings; Fed risk from Middle East
Mehta watches Mag-7 earnings (MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN), notes strong AI demand but rising free-cash-flow scrutiny, and warns Fed inflation risks may increase if U.S.–Iran tensions continue.

What stands out
Jay Mehta frames the week as one of "cautious optimism," watching Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon earnings not just for revenue beats but for clearer paths to free cash flow as AI demand remains strong. He highlights investor pickiness: companies must show how AI growth turns into cash, not just top-line expansion. Mehta also flags geopolitical risk, U.S., Iran tensions, as a potential source of renewed inflation pressure that could complicate the Federal Reserve's decisions later this quarter.
