Happy Diwali to all those taking part in the festival of lights. Aka India's biggest and brightest holiday, which celebrates the victory of good over evil.

It's time to find out if Q3 will be music to investors' ears. In its last quarterly report, Spotify said the number of monthly active users and premium subscribers grew by at least 14% year-over-year. The company said it expects growth to continue in Q3. Time to tune in and find out.

Google's parent company will deliver the ABCs from Q3. In the last quarter, Alphabet narrowly missed analysts' earnings expectations when it reported a profit of $16 billion in Q2. But the company showed ad sales for its search engine bringing in the dough even amid economic uncertainty. TBD if that continues.

Time to see if this tech giant Excel'd. In Q4 (note: the company tracks according to the fiscal year) , Microsoft saw its slowest revenue growth since 2020. The company said things like supply-chain disruptions and the ongoing war in Ukraine affected sales. TBD how it'll continue to fare amid growing global economic uncertainty.

The company formerly known as Facebook is giving investors a status update. In Q2, Meta reported a drop in revenue and earnings. And said it didn't expect things to get better in Q3. Since its dim report, Meta has announced plans to freeze hiring and cut budgets across some teams amid a slowing economy.
