Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos Loses $17 Billion Following Company's Mixed Q2 Earnings
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Jeff Bezos, the founder and Executive Chairman of Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), saw his net worth take a plunge, alongside the shares of his company, following its second quarter results last week. What Happened: The fourth-richest man in the world, with a net worth of $237 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, lost $17 billion last week on Friday, from $254 billion the prior day, after investors were unimpressed with the company's second-quarter earnings. The stock was down 8.27% on Friday, following the company's results, despite it beating consensus estimates on sales and earnings. Don't Miss: 7,000+ investors have joined Timeplast's mission to eliminate microplastics— This AI-Powered Trading Platform Has 5,000+ Users, 27 Pending Patents, and a $43.97M Valuation — You Can Become an Investor for Just $500.25 This was largely attributed to the slowing momentum in the company's AWS cloud computing segment, which generated $10.2 billion in sales during the quarter, up 17.5% year-over-year, which fell short of consensus estimates at 20%. Amazon shares currently constitute a significant chunk of Bezos' net worth, with 884 million shares, or 8.3% of total shares outstanding, which, at the stock's current market price, is valued at $190 billion. The rest of his fortune comprises Blue Origin, his space exploration company, which, being privately held, is valued at the cost of investment. Why It Matters: According to analyst Eric Allen of Stealth, the market's reaction to the company's earnings was 'totally wrong,' since this was a capacity issue, with Amazon unable to meet the growing demand for its AWS computing resources. Amazon reported $167.7 billion in sales during the quarter, up 13% year-over-year, and ahead of consensus estimates at $161.9 billion. It posted a profit of $1.68 per share, which again beat analyst consensus estimates at $1.30. Bezos has been consistently offloading his stake in the company he founded, having sold 95 million shares in 2024 and 2025 so far, with net proceeds of $18.2 billion.

American Eagle jumps most since 2000 after Trump praises Sydney Sweeney ad
American Eagle Outfitters Inc. shares jumped the most since 2000 on Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump touted the company's ads - pushing the retailer's stock into meme stock territory. The shares spiked 24% on Monday after Trump said in a social media post that American Eagle's recent marketing blitz with actress Sydney Sweeney is the "HOTTEST ad out there." He said American Eagle jeans are "flying off the shelves." It's not yet clear whether the ad campaign – which controversially celebrates Sweeney's genetic traits as well as her jeans – is actually convincing shoppers to buy the company's apparel. Analysts say the real test will be how American Eagle performs during the crucial back-to-school season as consumers begin to stock up on jeans and other autumn essentials. So while Trump's comments on Monday don't reveal any new information about the company's performance, they do add to the hype around American Eagle shares. And that's drawn investors betting on the hype itself – a telltale sign of a meme stock. "What are meme stocks for the most part? Individual investors chasing after the hottest stock," said Matt Maley, chief market strategy at Miller Tabak & Co. Monday's move pared the stock's year-to-date decline to 20%. The company has been battered by sluggish demand and last quarter it registered a $75 million charge related to a writedown of its spring and summer merchandise. Some traders who drove up the shares on Monday are probably betting that the spotlight on the company will translate into greater sales. But that alone doesn't explain the magnitude of the share move, Maley said, adding that American Eagle executives should seize on the interest by, for example, issuing more shares. Meme stock darlings AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. and GameStop Corp. have done this in the past. Representatives for American Eagle didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. "In the short term, traders are very adept at chasing hype," said Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers. "If one believes that the more this is talked about, the better it is for the stock, then that certainly is a boon." "Whether or not that translates into more or fewer people buying the actual products" after Trump weighed in won't be clear for "days, weeks or quarters," he added. The interest in American Eagle is likely to continue, even if there's not another major precipitating event like a social media post by the U.S. president. "The momentum is there," Maley said. "Today's marketplace with algorithmic trading, not only does it create buyers, but it eliminates sellers." While Sweeney, a sought-after face for brands, has provided a pop for stocks in the past, those gains haven't always endured. A year ago, footwear company Crocs Inc. disclosed Sweeney as a global spokesperson for its HEYDUDE line. The stock rose 4.1% on the day of the announcement, but since then, shares are down nearly 30%. (With assistance from Janet Freund.) Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Palantir's blockbuster results sparks stock surge
Concerns were raging earlier this year that the artificial intelligence revolution was overhyped and AI stocks were due for a reckoning. It certainly felt like that were true this spring, when stocks got battered amid worries over peak AI spending and growing fear that the US economy was destined for recession. The risk-off environment led to a 24% drop in the technology-laden Nasdaq, and even bigger losses for individual stocks like Palantir Technologies, which tumbled 47% from its February peak to April's low. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Those concerns, however, have yet to materialize, and stocks, including Palantir, have produced substantial returns since April 8. The Nasdaq has rallied nearly 40% and Palantir, which is increasingly being viewed as an AI lynchpin, has seen its stock price more than double. The reality is that while concerns remain, there's little to suggest that companies are tapping their brakes on AI investments, and Palantir's latest quarterly results and guidance suggest spending strength will continue to prop up its business this year. The first wave of AI development centered on large language models, or chatbots, that could digest huge data sets and parse data based on user questions, including OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude, Perplexity, and Google's Gemini. The spending on network infrastructure to support creating those chatbots was enormous, with hundreds of billions flowing out of enterprises and cloud service providers, including hyperscalers, to buy semiconductor chips from Nvidia and servers from Super Micro and Dell. Related: Major analyst who forecast stocks' rally sends 3-word message to investors While that spending is likely to continue, R&D is increasingly shifting to the second wave of AI -- solutions like agentic AI that can be used to assist and in some cases replace workers across industries. Developing those AI apps, however, isn't easy, especially since it requires breaking down data silos to find solutions securely. To do that, companies need help, and increasingly, they're turning to Palantir's Artificial Intelligence Platform. Palantir's (PLTR) roots stretch back to the early 2000s, when the Peter-Thiel founded company was tasked with securing data for the Defense Department. It still does a ton of work for the government, but recently, its seen explosive demand for AIP within companies using Palantir's Foundry platform. As a result, Palantir's sales and earnings are surging. The company's second quarter earnings results show solid and growing demand for its service. Palantir's revenue jumped 48% year-over-year to $1 billion, $61 million better than Wall Street was expecting. As a result, earnings per share (EPS) increased to 16 cents per share, 2 cents higher than analysts forecast, and up 78% from one year ago thanks to improving profit margins. Related: Apple CEO drops bombshell about its future Government deals contributed to the revenue beat, but the real shining star during the quarter was demand from corporations. US sales were up 68% from last year, reaching $733 million. US government revenue rose 53% to $426 million, while commercial revenue surged 93% to $306 million. "It's a blowout across the board. I mean, look, that's why they're the Messi of AI, right? I mean, it just speaks to, this is transformational, the type of growth they're seeing," said Wedbush Securities influential technology analyst Dan Ives on Yahoo!Finance. "I've covered tech 25 years. This is unprecedented territory. It speaks to our view. It's a trillion dollar market cap in the next two to three years." The company closed contracts worth a record $2.27 billion, including commercial deals worth $843 million, up 222% from one year ago. Net income of $327 million helped its cash and investment securities stockpile grow to above $6 billion from about 5.2 billion coming into the year. That's a lot of financial flexibility, especially given that the company is debt free. The growth rate of our business has accelerated radically, after years of investment on our part and derision by some," said CEO Alex Karp. "The skeptics are admittedly fewer now, having been defanged and bent into a kind of submission. Yet we see no reason to pause, to relent, here." The company's CEO, Alex Karp, expects the good times to not only continue but accelerate. Palantir raised its full year revenue guidance to between $4.142 billion and $4.15 billion. Consensus analyst forecasts were targeting $3.9 billion. For a startup, even one only a thousandth of our size, this growth rate would be striking," said Karp. "For a business of our scale, however, it is, we continue to believe, nearly without precedent or comparison." Palantir expects commercial deals to continue to be the big driver, guiding for US commercial revenue of $1.3 billion, up at least 85%. Palantir is also targeting adjusted income from operations of $1.912 billion to $1.92 billion and it raised its adjusted free cash flow guidance to between $1.8 billion to $2 billion. Overall, it expects to remain profitable throughout 2025. Currently, Wall Street consensus targets full year EPS of 58 cents, up from 55 cents ninety days ago. It wouldn't be surprising to see those earnings estimates climb more in the coming days following the updated guidance. Following the second-quarter results, Palantir's shares are up 4.6% to $168, a new all-time high. That move isn't going to let those concerned about the company's valuation sleep any better. Palantir was already trading with a forward price to earnings ratio (a key valuation measure) of 276, making it among one of priciest stocks out there. For comparison, the S&P 500's forward P/E is 22.4. Technology stocks often command higher than normal valuations, but even the price to sales ratio is arguably stretched, given shares are trading at about 123 times sales. Given that backdrop, Palantir is arguably priced to perfection, so it will need to continue to put up similarly eye-popping growth from here to keep investors happy.
