Here's What You Should Know About Big Tech's Latest Earnings Reports

A slew of tech companies reported earnings this week, and—surprise, surprise—they’re all still raking in major coin. Here are some top takeaways.

Microsoft: Despite the humblebrags, LinkedIn is a lot more popular than you might think. Based on current users, and last year’s revenue, it’s bigger than Twitter, Snap, Pinterest, and more.

Alphabet: YouTube’s revenue increased nearly 50% last year, as we were all watching travel vlogs, beauty how-tos, and DIY project walkthroughs. It’s by far the most popular social media platform.

Facebook: As many as 68% of iPhone users are expected to block ad tracking via Apple’s new ad transparency feature. Facebook, the personalized ad placer extraordinaire, has been concerned about this for a while—even though its revenue grew by nearly 50% year over year—and projects the feature will hurt revenue in Q2 and Q3.

Tesla: Revenue increased 74% year over year, at about the same rate as the company’s production growth. Tesla is still bullish on bitcoin as a valuable way to store cash, and as its solar energy business grows, Elon Musk’s vision is to turn every home into its own power generator. —HF
