The coming week was already going to be a big test for Big Tech, the biggest names on Wall Street in the busiest week of earnings reporting season.

Twitter Inc.

TWTR,

+0.87%

and Snap Inc.

SNAP,

+1.32%

revealed worrisome trends in social-advertising purchases already this earnings reporting season, and Facebook faces more complications than those two.

The 130 members of the index that have thus far reported earnings have seen a 42.8% decline in aggregate profits, and analysts surveyed by FactSet expect a 42.4% drop in earnings once all reports are in.
