Q2 earnings: tech stocks are still flying high

Despite worries over data usage scandals, most tech stocks still beat expectations in Q2

While the data misuse scandals had little to no effect on tech stocks during the first quarter of the year, that was to be expected, as those scandals broke right as the quarter was coming to an end.

The question was whether or not they would have enough of a lasting impact to do real damage in the second quarter, as the public watched executives from Facebook, Twitter and Google face Congressional grilling about their use of data.

Again, those fears were unfounded. Most companies beat expectations in Q2 and are still seeing their stocks up since the beginning of this year.
