Nasdaq 100 Stocks SEC Filings β April 29, 2026
Across 38 filings from NASDAQ-100 and related constituents, Big Tech dominates with robust revenue growth (e.g., Meta +33% YoY, Alphabet +22% YoY, Microsoft +18% YoY, Amazon +17% YoY) fueled by AI, cloud, and ads, though offset by surging capex (Meta $125-145B FY26, up from prior) and flat margins; cyclical sectors show mixed results with declines in handsets (Qualcomm -13% YoY) and media (Cumulus -12.2% YoY amid bankruptcy). Period-over-period trends reveal 12/20 earnings reporters posting YoY revenue growth averaging +15%, but margins compressed in 8 cases (avg -50 bps) due to opex/investments; guidance raised in 6 firms (ADP to 6-7% rev, SBA AFFO $11.93-12.38). Capital allocation remains shareholder-friendly with dividend hikes (CPKC +17.5%, Alphabet +5%), massive buybacks (Qualcomm new $20B auth, MSFT $10.2B returned), and compliance wins (MultiSensor AI Nasdaq regain). Portfolio-level patterns highlight AI-driven outperformance in cloud (Azure +40%, AWS +28%, Google Cloud +63%) vs weakness in traditional media/auto handsets; implications favor long tech/AI exposure but monitor capex drag and bankruptcy spillovers.
