These stocks have one important thing in common with tech's big winners\n</p>\n<p>\n  By Philip van Doorn, MarketWatch \n</p>\n<p>\n  The companies, including <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">AMD</a>, NextEra Energy and Vertex Pharmaceuticals, improved their pricing power as sales grew rapidly \n</p>\n<p>\n  The biggest U.S. technology companies are so dominant, it's likely you have a relatively large amount of money invested in them because they are heavily weighted in index funds and ETFs. \n</p>\n<p>\n  That's why it's important to regularly review them, even if you don't own individual shares. \n</p>\n<p>\n  Halfway through earnings season, there are a number of other companies doing something that most of the tech giants have been doing: Maintaining pricing power for their goods and services, even as they increase sales rapidly. \n</p>\n<p>\n  The FAANGs and Microsoft \n</p>\n<p>\n  You're probably familiar, or over-familiar, with the FAANG group of tech companies. These are <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a> (FB), Apple <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$(AAPL)$</a>, Amazon.com <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">$(AMZN)$</a>, Netflix <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NFLX\">$(NFLX)$</a> and Alphabet <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOOGL\">$(GOOGL)$</a> (GOOGL), which is Google's holding company. But that group doesn't include Microsoft <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">$(MSFT)$</a>, which certainly should be included in a list of rapidly growing tech giants. \n</p>\n<p>\n  So here's a list of the largest four publicly traded U.S. companies by market capitalization, followed by Facebook and Netflix, with sales growth and gross-margin comparisons: \n</p>\n<pre><table><tbody><tr><td>Company</td><td>Ticker</td><td>Market cap ($ billions)</td><td>Sales growth - most recent quarter from year-earlier quarter</td><td>Gross margin - most recent quarter</td><td>Gross margin - year-earlier quarter </td></tr><tr><td>Apple Inc.</td><td>US:AAPL</td><td>$1,351</td><td>8.7%</td><td>38.10%</td><td>37.59% </td></tr><tr><td>Microsoft Corp.</td><td>US:MSFT</td><td>$1,326</td><td>14.0%</td><td>66.51%</td><td>61.64% </td></tr><tr><td>Alphabet Inc.

The combined market capitalization for the group is $5.38 trillion, or 20% of the valuation of the entire S&amp;P 500 . \n</p>\n<p>\n  A company's gross margin is its sales, less the cost of goods sold, divided by sales. It's a measure of pricing power. \n</p>\n<p>\n  If a company's gross margins have been narrowing, it could indicate that discounting is necessary to defend market share. It may also be a temporary phenomenon, as a company tries to take share from rivals. \n</p>\n<p>\n  It's always good to see the gross margin widening while sales are increasing, while a prolonged narrowing of the margin could indicate big trouble, especially if sales aren't growing significantly. (Gross margin numbers aren't available for most financial companies, including banks and insurers.) \n</p>\n<p>\n  All these tech giants except for Apple showed double-digit sales growth, although Apple's sales increase was quite an improvement from previous quarters , as the iPhone maker worked through the difficulties caused by the trade rift between the U.S. and China. Meanwhile, Apple's gross margin improved. \n</p>\n<p>\n  Netflix was the sales-growth winner, and it's instructive to see how much higher Facebook's gross margin is than the others. \n</p>\n<p>\n  Other companies follow suit \n</p>\n<p>\n  Through Feb. 3, 54% of S&amp;P 500  companies had reported results for fiscal quarters ended Oct. 25 or later. \n</p>\n<p>\n  Leaving aside the tech giants listed above, here are 23 companies among the S&amp;P 500 that have reported sales increases of at least 10% this earnings season, while also expanding their gross margins.

These stocks have one important thing in common with tech's big winners\n\n\n  By Philip van Doorn, MarketWatch \n\n\n  The companies, including AMD, NextEra Energy and Vertex Pharmaceuticals, improved their pricing power as sales grew rapidly \n\n\n  The biggest U.S. technology companies are so dominant, it's likely you have a relatively large amount of money invested in them because they are heavily weighted in index funds and ETFs. \n\n\n  That's why it's important to regularly review them, even if you don't own individual shares. \n\n\n  Halfway through earnings season, there are a number of other companies doing something that most of the tech giants have been doing: Maintaining pricing power for their goods and services, even as they increase sales rapidly. \n\n\n  The FAANGs and Microsoft \n\n\n  You're probably familiar, or over-familiar, with the FAANG group of tech companies. These are Facebook (FB), Apple $(AAPL)$, Amazon.com $(AMZN)$, Netflix $(NFLX)$ and Alphabet $(GOOGL)$ (GOOGL), which is Google's holding company. But that group doesn't include Microsoft $(MSFT)$, which certainly should be included in a list of rapidly growing tech giants. \n\n\n  So here's a list of the largest four publicly traded U.S. companies by market capitalization, followed by Facebook and Netflix, with sales growth and gross-margin comparisons: \n\nCompanyTickerMarket cap ($ billions)Sales growth - most recent quarter from year-earlier quarterGross margin - most recent quarterGross margin - year-earlier quarter Apple Inc.US:AAPL$1,3518.7%38.10%37.59% Microsoft Corp.US:MSFT$1,32614.0%66.51%61.64% Alphabet Inc.

Class AUS:FB$49124.6%83.44%83.47% Netflix Inc.US:NFLX$15730.6%36.61%34.71% Source: FactSet \n\n  You can click on the tickers for more about each company. \n\n\n  These numbers are all for quarters ended Dec. 31. The combined market capitalization for the group is $5.38 trillion, or 20% of the valuation of the entire S&P 500 . \n\n\n  A company's gross margin is its sales, less the cost of goods sold, divided by sales. It's a measure of pricing power. \n\n\n  If a company's gross margins have been narrowing, it could indicate that discounting is necessary to defend market share. It may also be a temporary phenomenon, as a company tries to take share from rivals. \n\n\n  It's always good to see the gross margin widening while sales are increasing, while a prolonged narrowing of the margin could indicate big trouble, especially if sales aren't growing significantly. (Gross margin numbers aren't available for most financial companies, including banks and insurers.) \n\n\n  All these tech giants except for Apple showed double-digit sales growth, although Apple's sales increase was quite an improvement from previous quarters , as the iPhone maker worked through the difficulties caused by the trade rift between the U.S. and China. Meanwhile, Apple's gross margin improved. \n\n\n  Netflix was the sales-growth winner, and it's instructive to see how much higher Facebook's gross margin is than the others. \n\n\n  Other companies follow suit \n\n\n  Through Feb. 3, 54% of S&P 500  companies had reported results for fiscal quarters ended Oct. 25 or later. \n\n\n  Leaving aside the tech giants listed above, here are 23 companies among the S&P 500 that have reported sales increases of at least 10% this earnings season, while also expanding their gross margins.
