Next week is another big one for earnings. Perhaps the most-watched of these among tech stocks is Broadcom AVGO. Others include Alibaba Group Holding BABA and Marvell Technology MRVL. In the economically sensitive retail sector, earnings to note include Gap Stores GAP, Abercrombie & Fitch ANF and Target TGT — all of which have had a history of moving up after earnings reports.
