$Microsoft(MSFT)$ $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ $S&P 500(.SPX)$ ππ₯π₯ S&P 500βs Earnings Machine Is Alive: Microsoft and Amazon Power the Surprise Cycle π₯π₯π
π‘ 84% of companies are beating earnings. Techβs the engine. Microsoftβs the supercharger. Amazonβs the torque. Hereβs why this quarter matters more than the next.
π§ S&Pβs Q2 earnings season isnβt just good, itβs structurally strong
With 329 companies reporting, thatβs 66% of the S&P 500, and the beat rate is stunning.
β‘οΈ 84% are beating EPS estimates, with a median surprise of 7.2%
β‘οΈ 80% are beating on sales, with a 2.6% median surprise
β‘οΈ Blended YoY EPS growth: +10.4%
β‘οΈ Blended YoY sales growth: +5.8%
The strongest contribution comes from Technology, Financials, and Healthcare. Techβs EPS growth alone is tracking +21%. But not all megacaps are made equal. Apple beat, but the stock dropped. The real catalysts are Microsoft ($MSFT) and Amazon ($AMZN).
π» Microsoft isnβt just beating, itβs leading
$MSFT posted a weekly candle breakout that shattered its 2024 highs. Price closed at $537.96, with strong follow-through across every Keltner and Bollinger band overlay.
Technicals:
β’ Weekly chart shows acceleration away from all EMA clusters
β’ RSI remains elevated, reflecting institutional continuation buying
β’ MACD trend remains bullish after the April reversal
Fundamentals:
β’ EPS beat by 8%, driven by Azureβs +34% YoY growth
β’ AI capex managed via finance leases, preserving margins
β’ CEO Nadella confirmed over $100B in forward AI infrastructure deployment
Microsoft is the reason the S&P beat rate has statistical credibility. It added weight, breadth, and forward guidance confidence. The price reaction proves it.
π¦ Amazon is delivering growth, even if the market blinked
Amazonβs Q2 net income hit $18.16B, a 472.6% increase versus Q1 2023, with a CAGR of 117% over that stretch. AWS revenue was ~$30.9B, still up 17% YoY.
Technicals:
β’ Price at $212.77 is pulling back from its $241.33 weekly resistance
β’ Still holding above the 55-week EMA, with Keltner compression intact
β’ Weekly structure forming a potential continuation flag
Fundamentals:
β’ Total Q2 revenue: $167.7B, up 13% YoY
β’ EPS beat, but cautious Q3 guidance muted upside
β’ Forward P/E still compressed relative to its profit growth trajectory
That net income visual says it all. Amazon has gone from $3.17B to $18.16B quarterly in just 6 quarters. Thatβs an S-curve you donβt fade. Itβs a pause, not a pivot.
π The S&Pβs structure validates earnings, not speculation
The S&P 500 closed at 6,321.94, extending its structural breakout with confirmation across volume and breadth metrics.
β’ Weekly chart reflects sustained momentum above all major EMAs
β’ Clear separation from Q1 consolidation zone, indicating institutional conviction
β’ Keltner and Bollinger overlays confirm price expansion aligned with earnings
This isnβt a liquidity-driven drift. The current advance is rooted in fundamental outperformance and margin durability. With 84% of reporting companies exceeding earnings expectations, price action is behaving rationally and rewarding operational leadership. The strongest charts are backed by the strongest execution. MSFT and AMZN sit at the center of both.
π§ Smart rotation is already happening
β’ Tech and Financials are absorbing flows post-beat
β’ Energy is dragging with β19.6% blended EPS decline
β’ Utilities and Staples are defensive laggards, even with 74%β79% beat rates
π― Conclusion: This isnβt a rally built on hope, itβs built on operational leverage
Microsoftβs multi-timeframe breakout confirms structural capital rotation into AI infrastructure.
Amazonβs net income trajectory is now rivaling Alphabetβs, but with higher velocity and better cost discipline.
The S&P 500 is behaving like a bull market in mid-cycle. Price is following earnings, not liquidity.
