The major averages' record highs come ahead of the start of quarterly earnings reports. S&P 500 companies' profits are expected to be up 65% from the same quarter a year ago, according to Refinitiv, bouncing back from the worst of the pandemic.
The expected surge in profits would be the strongest earnings growth since the fourth quarter of 2009, as stocks recovered from the financial crisis.

Shares of $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ jumped 7.78% in 30 days from $257.88 to $277.94 on Sunday, following the last session's upward trend.

According to today’s article on Business Insider, "Now, however, the Department of Defense says Microsoft's offering wasn't going to "meet its needs."
That – combined with the suggestion by $Amazon (AMZN.US)$ that Microsoft only won the contract due to political influence from a President with a grudge against Bezos – further fuels doubts about Microsoft Azure's efficacy."
Shares of $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ jumped by a staggering 13.27% in 30 days from $708.05 to $802.01, after two sequential sessions in a row of losses.
Shares of $Alibaba (BABA.US)$ Alibaba fell 2.87% in 30 days from $212.03 to $205.94, after five consecutive sessions in a row of losses.
