Confidence in tech stocks has been shaken by the recent data scandal surrounding Facebook, and the share of investors who expect the company to meet Wall Street expectations is just 22%, down from 31% in the previous quarter.
Other FAANG stocks fare better with expectation of Amazon, Apple and Google rising quarter-over-quarter, and Netflix expectation unchanged.
