Cathie Wood Is Buying Tons of This Hot Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock, and It Might Surprise You
By Jennifer Saibil – Aug 18, 2024 at 7:17AM
It's AMZN
Maybe this has something to do with the SPIKE T0DAY!
Sales at US retailers unexpectedly surged in July, the Commerce Department said Thursday, rising by a solid 1% from the prior month, up from June’s downwardly revised 0.2% decline. That trounced economists’ expectations of a 0.3% gain.
Will easily be $300 by 2026.
AWS is a monster profit machine.
AMZN is unstoppable.

AWS Saves Amazon
By: 24/7 Wall St. | August 2, 2024
• Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) earnings upset investors, even though they beat expectations.
• Perhaps those investors are concerned about the wrong thing.
Investors were upset by earnings at Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), which is odd because they beat most expectations. Revenue rose 10% from the same quarter a year ago to $148 billion. Its profits were $13.5 billion, much higher than the $6.7 billion a year ago.
The stock sold off because investors worried about rising artificial intelligence (AI) expenditures. However, almost every mega tech company is doing that. Amazon’s capex rose to $17.6 billion, up by almost 50%.
Amazon’s ancient e-commerce business has stopped being the center of earnings releases. The AWS segment pushes Amazon’s stock up or down over the long term, which may still be true. No one knows when big tech AI investments, which run into the billions of dollars, will pay off. It could be a year or more. So, the timing of AI’s future contribution to earnings is a guess.
AWS is still the largest cloud business in the world based on revenue. Its primary competitor, Microsoft’s Azure, stumbled when it released earnings. If that should have worried anyone about the success of AWS, it should not have.
AWS revenue hit $26.3 billion, up from $21.1 billion a year ago. That means AWS is only 18% of Amazon’s revenue. The AWS operating income was $9.3 billion, up from $5.4 billion. That means that AWS was 64% of Amazon’s entire operating income.
Maybe people should stop worrying about Amazon’s AI investment and look at its dominant AWS numbers.

Amazon.com (AMZN) Stock Headed for Worst Day in Over 2 Years
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | August 2, 2024
• A disappointing current-quarter forecast is weighing on the shares
• Options traders are chiming in on today's bear gap
Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) is falling sharply on the charts today, following the company's lower-than-expected second-quarter revenue and disappointing current-quarter forecast. Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been thriving, however, with revenue increasing 19% in the second quarter.
Amid the broad-market selloff, AMZN was last seen down 10.9% at $164.06 and headed for its largest single-day percentage drop since April 2022. Jim Cramer is making headlines after posting on X that the panic is "a little overdone," while a handful of analysts adjusted their price targets in both directions.
Now trading at its lowest levels since its early February bull gap and quickly moving away from its July 8 record high of $201.20, the equity is still up 6.2% year to date. It's worth noting that the stock's 14-day relative strength index (RSI) of 32.7 sits on the cusp of "oversold" territory, however, which typically precedes a short-term bounce.
Amazon.com stock is seeing plenty of activity in the options pits. So far, 532,000 calls and 364,000 puts have crossed the tape, which is triple the overall volume typically seen at this point. The weekly 8/2 165-strike put is the most popular, followed by the 160-strike put in the same series, with new positions opening at both.

Amazon.com Announces Second Quarter Results
Source: Business Wire
Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Net sales increased 10% to $148.0 billion in the second quarter, compared with $134.4 billion in second quarter 2023. Excluding the $1.0 billion unfavorable impact from year-over-year changes in foreign exchange rates throughout the quarter, net sales increased 11% compared with second quarter 2023.
North America segment sales increased 9% year-over-year to $90.0 billion.
International segment sales increased 7% year-over-year to $31.7 billion, or increased 10% excluding changes in foreign exchange rates.
AWS segment sales increased 19% year-over-year to $26.3 billion.
Operating income increased to $14.7 billion in the second quarter, compared with $7.7 billion in second quarter 2023.
North America segment operating income was $5.1 billion, compared with operating income of $3.2 billion in second quarter 2023.
International segment operating income was $0.3 billion, compared with an operating loss of $0.9 billion in second quarter 2023.
AWS segment operating income was $9.3 billion, compared with operating income of $5.4 billion in second quarter 2023.
Net income increased to $13.5 billion in the second quarter, or $1.26 per diluted share, compared with $6.7 billion, or $0.65 per diluted share, in second quarter 2023.
Second quarter 2024 net income includes a pre-tax valuation gain of $0.4 billion included in non-operating income (expense) from the common stock investment in Rivian Automotive, Inc., compared to a pre-tax valuation gain of $0.2 billion from the investment in second quarter 2023.

“We’re continuing to make progress on a number of dimensions, but perhaps none more so than the continued reacceleration in AWS growth,” said Andy Jassy, Amazon President & CEO. “As companies continue to modernize their infrastructure and move to the cloud, while also leveraging new Generative AI opportunities, AWS continues to be customers’ top choice as we have much broader functionality, superior security and operational performance, a larger partner ecosystem, and AI capabilities like SageMaker for model builders, Bedrock for those leveraging frontier models, Trainium for those where the cost of compute for training and inference matters, and Q for those wanting the most capable GenAI assistant for not just coding, but also software development and business integration.”

Delivered to Prime members at its fastest speeds ever in the first half of the year.

Financial Guidance
The following forward-looking statements reflect Amazon.com’s expectations as of August 1, 2024, and are subject to substantial uncertainty. Our results are inherently unpredictable and may be materially affected by many factors, such as fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, changes in global economic and geopolitical conditions and customer demand and spending (including the impact of recessionary fears), inflation, interest rates, regional labor market constraints, world events, the rate of growth of the internet, online commerce, cloud services, and new and emerging technologies, and the various factors detailed below.
Third Quarter 2024 Guidance
Net sales are expected to be between $154.0 billion and $158.5 billion, or to grow between 8% and 11% compared with third quarter 2023. This guidance anticipates an unfavorable impact of approximately 90 basis points from foreign exchange rates.
Operating income is expected to be between $11.5 billion and $15.0 billion, compared with $11.2 billion in third quarter 2023.
This guidance assumes, among other things, that no additional business acquisitions, restructurings, or legal settlements are concluded.
Conference Call Information
A conference call will be webcast live today at 2:30 p.m. PT/5:30 p.m. ET, and will be available for at least three months at amazon.com/ir. This call will contain forward-looking statements and other material information regarding the Company’s financial and operating results.
Forward-Looking Statements
These forward-looking statements are inherently difficult to predict. Actual results and outcomes could differ materially for a variety of reasons, including, in addition to the factors discussed above, the amount that Amazon.com invests in new business opportunities and the timing of those investments, the mix of products and services sold to customers, the mix of net sales derived from products as compared with services, the extent to which we owe income or other taxes, competition, management of growth, potential fluctuations in operating results, international growth and expansion, the outcomes of claims, litigation, government investigations, and other proceedings, fulfillment, sortation, delivery, and data center optimization, risks of inventory management, variability in demand, the degree to which the Company enters into, maintains, and develops commercial agreements, proposed and completed acquisitions and strategic transactions, payments risks, and risks of fulfillment throughput and productivity. Other risks and uncertainties include, among others, risks related to new products, services, and technologies, security breaches, system interruptions, government regulation and taxation, and fraud. In addition, global economic and geopolitical conditions and additional or unforeseen circumstances, developments, or events may give rise to or amplify many of these risks. More information about factors that potentially could affect Amazon.com’s financial results is included in Amazon.com’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings.

Unlocking Q2 Potential of Amazon (AMZN): Exploring Wall Street Estimates for Key Metrics
Zacks Equity Research
Mon, Jul 29, 2024, 7:16 AM MDT
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/unlocking-q2-potential-amazon-amzn-131608171.html
Analysts on Wall Street project that Amazon (AMZN) will announce quarterly earnings of $1.03 per share in its forthcoming report, representing an increase of 63.5% year over year. Revenues are projected to reach $148.63 billion, increasing 10.6% from the same quarter last year.
The current level reflects no revision in the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter over the past 30 days. This demonstrates how the analysts covering the stock have collectively reappraised their initial projections over this period.
Ahead of a company's earnings disclosure, it is crucial to give due consideration to changes in earnings estimates. These revisions serve as a noteworthy factor in predicting potential investor reactions to the stock. Numerous empirical studies consistently demonstrate a strong relationship between trends in earnings estimate revision and the short-term price performance of a stock.
While investors typically use consensus earnings and revenue estimates as a yardstick to evaluate the company's quarterly performance, scrutinizing analysts' projections for some of the company's key metrics can offer a more comprehensive perspective.
With that in mind, let's delve into the average projections of some Amazon metrics that are commonly tracked and projected by analysts on Wall Street.
The consensus among analysts is that 'Net Sales- AWS' will reach $25.87 billion. The estimate points to a change of +16.8% from the year-ago quarter.
Analysts' assessment points toward 'Net sales- Physical stores' reaching $5.25 billion. The estimate points to a change of +4.5% from the year-ago quarter.
The average prediction of analysts places 'Net sales- Online stores' at $55.76 billion. The estimate indicates a change of +5.3% from the prior-year quarter.
The consensus estimate for 'Net Sales- Subscription services' stands at $10.84 billion. The estimate indicates a change of +9.5% from the prior-year quarter.
The collective assessment of analysts points to an estimated 'Net Sales- Advertising services' of $13.00 billion. The estimate suggests a change of +21.7% year over year.
Analysts forecast 'Net Sales- Third-party seller services' to reach $36.31 billion. The estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +12.3%.
The combined assessment of analysts suggests that 'Geographic Revenue - International' will likely reach $31.94 billion. The estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +7.6%.
It is projected by analysts that the 'Subscription services Y/Y Change' will reach 9.5%. The estimate compares to the year-ago value of 14%.
Based on the collective assessment of analysts, 'Online stores Y/Y Change' should arrive at 5.4%. Compared to the current estimate, the company reported 4% in the same quarter of the previous year.
Analysts expect 'Third-party seller services Y/Y Change' to come in at 12.5%. The estimate is in contrast to the year-ago figure of 18%.
According to the collective judgment of analysts, 'Headcount - Total' should come in at 1,483,446. The estimate is in contrast to the year-ago figure of 1,461,000.
Analysts predict that the 'WW shipping costs' will reach $22.61 billion. The estimate compares to the year-ago value of $20.42 billion.

Amazon racing to develop AI chips cheaper, faster than Nvidia's, executives say
By: Reuters | July 25, 2024
Inside Amazon.com's AMZN chip lab in Austin, Texas, half a dozen engineers on a Friday afternoon put a closely guarded new server design through its paces.
The server was packed with Amazon's artificial intelligence chips that compete with those from market leader Nvidia NVDA, Amazon executive Rami Sinno said on Friday, during a visit to the lab.
Amazon is developing its own processors to limit its reliance on costly Nvidia chips - the so-called Nvidia tax - that power some of the artificial intelligence cloud business at its Amazon Web Services, the main growth driver.
Through its homegrown chips, Amazon wants to help customers compute complex calculations and process enormous amounts of data more cheaply.
Its rivals Microsoft MSFT and Alphabet GOOG are doing the same.
Sinno, the director of engineering for Amazon's Annapurna Labs that is a part of its cloud business AWS, said Amazon's customers were increasingly demanding cheaper alternatives to Nvidia.
Amazon bought Annapurna labs in 2015.
While the company's AI chip efforts are nascent, Amazon's workhorse chip Graviton that performs non-AI computing has been under development for nearly a decade and is on its fourth generation. The AI chips, Trainium and Inferentia, are newer designs.
"So the offering of up to 40%, 50% in some cases of improved price (and) performance - so it should be half as expensive as running that same model with Nvidia," David Brown, Vice President, Compute and Networking at AWS said on Tuesday.
Sales at AWS, which accounts for just under a fifth of Amazon's overall revenue, surged 17% to $25 billion in the January-March quarter, compared with a year earlier. AWS controls roughly a third of the cloud computing market, with Microsoft's Azure holding about 25%.
During its recent Prime Day, Amazon deployed a quarter million Graviton chips and 80,000 of its custom AI chips to handle the surge in activity across its platforms, the company said.
The shopping event generated a record $14.2 billion in sales, according to Adobe Analytics.
