Market Focus07-31 04:03

On July 30, Amazon.com rose 5.25% in after-hours trading to $253.7/share, with turnover of $1.065 billion, following the release of its Q2 fiscal results after market close.

Wall Street had expected Q2 revenue of approximately $197 billion, representing 17.5% year-over-year growth, with AWS cloud business growth anticipated to exceed 30%. Consensus EPS stood at $1.83. The magnitude of the after-hours gain suggests results surpassed these expectations. Analysts had flagged capital expenditure levels and free cash flow as key focal points, with full-year capex projected near $200 billion for AI and data center infrastructure.

The earnings release capped a session already buoyed by multiple catalysts, including NHTSA approval for subsidiary Zoox to launch paid autonomous taxi service in Las Vegas, a $410 million multiyear AWS agreement with AI firm Recursive, and Amazon's first-ever top ranking on the Fortune Global 500 list.

    When companies near top and bottom earning, analysts have nothing to picked, they will turned to expenditure and cash flow or forecast not up to expection, or cherry pick certain portion of businesses growth just to try to hammered the shares then after a few days, come out and reversed and said after going thru what the company earning they think blah blah blah and the counter started to rally again. Why do they always try to scam retail and investors because they had bought enough after the sell down.
