Asian Stocks Set for Weak Open as Investors Eye U.S. Tech Earnings; Analyst Warns of Risks if Optimism Cracks

Gate News message, April 27 — Asian stock markets are expected to open weaker on Tuesday, April 28, as investors focus on earnings from U.S. technology giants with a combined market value of approximately $16 trillion. The broader U.S. stock market has recovered to record highs, largely supported by upwardly revised earnings expectations and improved market sentiment, according to Walter Todd, president and chief investment officer of Greenwood Capital Associates.

However, Todd warned that if optimistic expectations show signs of deterioration, the market could face significant downside risk. Despite the rally, geopolitical risks remain a concern for investors.

Meta plans to issue $25 billion in debt to back AI: In 2026, capital expenditures are set to reach $145 billion

Meta completed the issuance of $25 billion across six tranches on 4/30, with maturities extending to 2066. The initial yield was about 180 basis points higher than U.S. Treasuries, with subscriptions of around $96 billion but lower than the previous round. At the same time, it raised its 2026 capital expenditure guidance to $125–$145 billion. The founders also admitted there is still no detailed, item-by-item AI product plan. After the earnings report, the stock price fell 7%, suggesting the market still doubts whether the AI investment can “monetize.” If ROI remains unclear, the risk is twofold: an upcoming debt issuance wave from tech giants over the next 12 months and the widening of credit spreads.
