Welcome to a special Friday afternoon edition of Tech Tech, I'm Julia Borsten in San

Francisco.

Today, the earnings day lose.

Tech companies doing mostly better than feared will dig into what could be the bottom

for performance but the top for stocks.

Plus, a look at deal making and M&A activity and why partnership might be the new keyword

in both media and tech.

The Zuckessons, Meta shares up 170% this year has the Zuck Menton peaked but first earnings

a big driver of this week's action.

Let's bring in Roryo Driscoll of Scale Venture Partners and Bradley Tusk of Tusk Ventures

to break down what we heard this week and what to expect next week.

Rory, thanks for being on set with me today.

Glad to hear.

I'm going to start with you.

We heard so many beats this week, Microsoft, Google, Intel, Meta.

Do this boat well for next week?

Do you think these things are connected with what we might hear from Amazon and Apple?

I think so, but perhaps in a different way.

I think what was interesting about this week is the talk was all in advance about AI.

The hope was all about revenue growth and the cold reality is everyone cut costs and

made their EPS, right?

It wasn't a great revenue growth.
