Tech Five: Apple leads tech earnings rush

What better way to wrap the first month of 2015 than with a tech earnings bonanza? Here's a look at the tech stocks to watch Monday:

Apple. So, how popular were the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus during the holiday season? Investors find out Tuesday when Apple reports first quarter earnings after the markets close. During the 2013 holiday season, Apple sold a record 51 million iPhones, and raked in a record $57.6 billion in revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.

Microsoft. Fresh off the unveiling of Windows 10 and the buzzworthy virtual reality headset HoloLens, Microsoft will report second quarter earnings after the bell Monday. Analysts predict Microsoft will report revenue of $26.33 billion with an earnings per share of 71 cents.

Facebook. The social network reports fourth quarter and full year earnings on Wednesday. Last quarter, Facebook warned fourth quarter revenue growth would slow down as it invests more heavily in growing products and ramping up hiring.

Amazon. The online retailer reports fourth quarter earnings Thursday, with analysts expecting earnings per share of 17 cents off revenue of $29.7 billion. Last quarter, Amazon reported a loss larger than Wall Street predicted, and warned of additional losses on the horizon.

Alibaba. The Chinese e-commerce giant reports earnings Thursday, its second report since becoming a publicly traded company. Shares of Alibaba surged to $119.15 days after their first earnings report in November, but have since cooled. Alibaba stock closed Friday at $103.11.
