Sunday Weekend Prep: SLB earnings, VZ Monday results, AMT rumor fade, MSFT and GOOGL earnings, CCI frozen audit.

What Happened
SUNDAY WEEKEND PREP — October 25, 2026, research reference approximately 7:25 AM Eastern. NYSE/Nasdaq CLOSED Sunday; next open Monday October 26 at 9:30 AM ET. No Sunday premarket stock price, premarket volume, VWAP or live options tape. All market prices, regular-session volumes and SMA/RSI below are from FRIDAY October 23. 80-symbol U.S.-listed mid/large-cap liquid watch universe triaged by dated earnings, SEC-related/company releases, AI and FDA news, analyst actions, Friday movers and sector news. Deep verification on 5 finalists; NOT a complete individual 80-name SEC/FDA/technical/options-chain audit. Friday Dow -1.23%, S&P -0.52%, Nasdaq -0.21%; geopolitical oil risk, AI capex fears and Wednesday Fed decision remain macro risks.
RANK 1 SLB — WATCH/WAIT, Monday bullish continuation investigation. OFFICIAL Oct23 Q3 results: revenue $9.45B (+6% YoY), adjusted EPS $0.64, free cash flow $828M; Data Center Solutions revenue $230M (+76% YoY). Independent Barron's confirms. Friday open $49.96, high $53.45, low $49.48, close $53.06 (+7.08% vs Thursday), volume 19.06M. Oct23 SMA20 $51.04, SMA50 $49.87, SMA200 $50.25, RSI14 71.66 (overbought). Support $51.04/$49.48; resistance $53.45, distant 52-week $60.46. BULL: energy services and data-center cooling growth. BEAR: extended 7% gap, high RSI, geopolitical and integration risk. KILL: sustained VWAP rejection, lower high and Monday opening-range-low loss. OPTIONS: verify exact strike spread, open interest, volume and post-earnings IV. Monday VWAP unknown.
RANK 2 VZ — WATCH/WAIT, imminent MONDAY earnings + competition catalyst. Verizon confirms Q3 earnings Oct26 at 7:00 AM ET and webcast 8:30 AM; NO result available Sunday. Reuters confirms Bloomberg report of SpaceX discussions to secure at least 80,000 U.S. cell sites; no signed nationwide build or actual VZ financial impact verified. Friday open $43.60, high $45.08, low $43.43, close $44.66 (-1.19%), volume 51.12M. Oct23 SMA20 $44.25, SMA50 $44.46, SMA200 $45.85, RSI14 53.12. Support $43.43 then $43.00; resistance $45.08 then $45.85. BULL: subscribers, pricing, FCF could beat. BEAR: churn, competitive threat, weak guidance. KILL bullish reversal: VWAP failure and break of Monday opening-range low/$43.43. OPTIONS: verify exact strike spreads, OI, IV, event premium. Reassess ONLY after Monday's actual results.
RANK 3 AMT — WAIT, speculative tower gap fade and earnings Tuesday. Reuters says SpaceX may seek tower access; NO signed AMT contract. American Tower confirms Q3 earnings Tuesday Oct27 7:00 AM ET, call 8:30. Friday open $200.72, high $202.50, low $185.44, close $188.97 (+4.08% vs prior close but -5.85% OPEN-to-CLOSE), volume 8.85M. Oct23 SMA20 $183.62, SMA50 $183.42, SMA200 $174.26, RSI14 60.56. Support $185.44/$181.57; resistance $200.72/$202.50. BULL: potential tower tenancy and earnings. BEAR: unconfirmed rumor, severe gap fade. KILL bullish recovery: VWAP rejection, opening-range-low break, or reliable rumor denial. OPTIONS: REIT spreads/OI may be thin, check IV. WAIT.
RANK 4 MSFT — WATCH/WAIT, upcoming cloud/AI earnings. Microsoft confirms FY2027 Q1 earnings Wednesday Oct28 after market close. Friday open $517.75, high $525.77, low $515.70, close $524.51 (+0.66%), volume 13.68M. Oct23 SMA20 $526.60, SMA50 $530.63, SMA200 $518.85, RSI14 41.47. Support $518.85/$515.70; resistance $525.77/$526.60/$530.63. BULL: Azure AI demand and monetization. BEAR: AI capex and margin/financing scrutiny. KILL bullish recovery: sustained VWAP rejection and opening-range-low loss, especially $515.70. OPTIONS: usually deep, but verify spread, OI and earnings IV; avoid assuming earnings hold is safe. WATCH/WAIT.
RANK 5 GOOGL — WAIT, oversold pre-earnings candidate. Alphabet's company-distributed announcement confirms Oct28 earnings call at 4:30 PM ET. Friday open $321.15, high $324.53, low $320.18, close $320.21 (-1.24%), volume 17.54M. Oct23 SMA20 $327.02, SMA50 $337.32, SMA200 $344.67, RSI14 20.36 (oversold). Support $320.18; resistance $324.53/$327.02. BULL: Cloud, ads and AI monetization. BEAR: downtrend below all SMAs, capex, regulation. KILL bullish reversal: VWAP failure and break below $320.18. OPTIONS: liquid generally, but strike-specific spreads/OI and earnings IV must be verified. WAIT; oversold is NOT entry confirmation.
TOP SETUP TO INVESTIGATE FIRST MONDAY — SLB (not a recommendation to buy). Require a 5–15-minute opening range, supportive energy-sector breadth, live VWAP hold/reclaim, higher low and opening-range-high breakout with expanding volume. Friday high $53.45 is overhead reference. If VWAP rejects, opening-range support fails, energy/oil reverses or options spreads/IV are unfavorable, WAIT/AVOID. VZ is earliest new scheduled catalyst at Monday 7AM: review actual release before ranking a direction. Catalyst detection is separate from entry confirmation.
LARGE-MOVE RULE — Sunday is closed: NO Sunday premarket percentage changes or volume exist. None of these five Friday regular-session changes exceeded 25%; no unverified >25% stock was promoted. No Sunday FDA decision, SEC filing, or options tape has been fabricated.
Why It Matters
No Sunday U.S. premarket data exists; use Friday regular-session references only and verify Monday live VWAP, opening range, relative volume and options contracts.
Earnings, oil geopolitics, rumor reversals and options IV can cause major losses. Long options can lose 100% of premium. No guaranteed trades.
Who Benefits / Who Pays
Who benefits
- SLB may benefit from energy and data-center cooling demand; AMT only if unconfirmed tower negotiations become contracts; VZ results may clarify subscriber and FCF trends.
Who pays
- Rumor gap-chasers, expensive short-dated option buyers and holders of stocks exposed to AI capex or oil inflation can suffer losses.
