NEW YORK: A handful of massive growth and technology names that have dominated the US stock market in 2023 are set to report earnings in coming weeks, potentially determining the path for this year’s equity rally.

       Lately dubbed the "Magnificent Seven” by investors, shares of the US companies with the biggest market values soared between 40% and over 200% so far this year. Those moves have accounted for a lion's share of the S&P 500's 17% year-to-date rise and propelled the index to its highest level since April 2022.
