Bezos Offloads $5.7 Billion in Amazon (AMZN) Stock Ahead of Q2 Earnings
Jeff Bezos has completed a significant sale of Amazon (AMZN) shares, cashing out $5.7 billion since late June. The transactions were made under a 10b5-1 trading plan, allowing company insiders to sell shares on a predetermined schedule. The sale included 25 million shares, with the final 4.2 million sold for $954 million just days before the company's second-quarter earnings report, scheduled for July 31.

AI Expenses vs. Revenue The timing comes as Amazon stock has climbed 38% from its April low. Despite the gains, the company is facing questions from investors about whether its heavy artificial intelligence spending will begin to boost profitability. Analysts expect second-quarter earnings of $1.32 per share on $162 billion in revenue, reflecting 4% and 9% growth from last year. That pace trails other top tech names, which are averaging 15% earnings growth and 12% revenue expansion. Amazon has committed $104 billion to capital expenditures this year, including $30 billion for new data centers in Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Bezos' History of Share Sales Bezos remains the company's largest individual shareholder, still owning around 884 million shares or more than 8% of the company. His Amazon stake is the foundation of his $252.3 billion net worth, placing him third on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Since 2002, Bezos has sold over $50 billion in Amazon stock. In 2024 alone, he sold 75 million shares for $13.6 billion. He also donated about $190 million in shares to nonprofits this year. His only recorded purchase was one share for $114.77 in 2022. Market reaction to the latest sales has been limited, with the stock holding steady during the selling period. Investors appear to view the move as part of Bezos' long-running strategy to diversify his holdings rather than a shift in outlook on Amazon itself. Is AMZN Stock a Good Buy? On the Street, Amazon boasts a Strong Buy consensus rating. The average AMZN stock price target is $258.27, implying an 11.59% upside.

The Week That Was, The Week Ahead: Macro & Markets, July 27, 2025
Everything to Know about Macro and Markets The S&P 500 (SPX) touched new intraday highs on Friday, ending the week up 1.5%. Major indices finished the week on a strong note, thanks to solid corporate earnings and favorable trade developments. The Nasdaq-100 (NDX) and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) ended the week 0.9% and 1.3% higher, respectively. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Weekly Gains on Strong Earnings and Trade Deals The S&P 500 posted its fifth straight day of closing records on Friday. Interestingly, the index ended above the 6,300 level for the first time on Monday. Strong earnings reported by several companies, notably by Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL) and telecom giant Verizon (VZ), fueled last week's rally. According to FactSet, out of the 34% of S&P 500 companies that have reported Q2 results so far, 80% have exceeded earnings expectations, a proportion that is above the 5-year average of 78%. However, the magnitude of earnings surprises is below average levels. Additionally, the trade agreement between the U.S. and Japan eased concerns about the ongoing tariff wars and contributed to last week's rally. U.S. President Donald Trump called it 'perhaps the largest Deal ever made,' while adding that Japan would invest $550 billion in the U.S. The deal lowers the tariffs on auto exports, a major driver of Japan's economy, to 15% from the existing 25% that is imposed across countries. A Big Week Ahead The week ahead is expected to be quite eventful, given that it includes the August tariff deadline, the July Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, earnings reports from four of the Magnificent 7 stocks, and some key economic releases. The Federal Reserve's two-day policy meeting will be in focus this week, especially due to President Trump's persistent attacks on the central bank's Chair Jerome Powell. The independence of the Fed is being debated, with reporters expected to question Powell about the same at the post-meeting press conference. Despite growing pressure from Trump to slash interest rates, the Fed is expected to hold the benchmark short-term borrowing rate steady in a target range of 4.25% to 4.50%. Meanwhile, the August 1 deadline to raise tariffs is approaching this week. Trump's erratic trade policy decisions have been making headlines. Following the trade agreement with Japan, all eyes are on the possibility of a deal with the European Union (EU). Aside from Trump's trade stance, earnings from four of the Magnificent 7 stocks – Meta Platforms (META), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), and Apple (AAPL), are eagerly awaited. Investors will be focusing on the commentary from management of these companies regarding the business backdrop and artificial intelligence (AI) spending. Finally, the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) price index report, scheduled for release on Thursday, and the July nonfarm payrolls report, due on Friday, could impact investor sentiment. Experts expect the jobs report to indicate a deceleration in job additions in July compared to the previous month. Meanwhile, the PCE price index is expected to show a rise in inflation. Stocks That Made the News Alphabet impressed investors with its market-beating second-quarter revenue and earnings. The company raised its capital expenditure guidance for 2025 from $75 billion to $85 billion to support robust demand for its cloud offerings amid the ongoing AI boom. Verizon also delivered upbeat results for the June quarter, thanks to strength in its wireless service business. The company raised the lower end of its full-year earnings guidance to reflect strong demand for its premium plans and the Trump administration's new tax law. IBM (IBM) stock fell even after delivering better-than-expected second-quarter results. The company's software business lagged the Street's revenue expectations. The tech giant also noted that some clients are being cautious in signing new deals due to geopolitical pressures. Tesla (TSLA) reported dismal second-quarter results, with the electric vehicle (EV) maker's CEO Elon Musk cautioning investors about a 'few rough quarters' ahead due to the expiration of the federal tax credits. TSLA stock is down 22% year-to-date, as investors are concerned about weak demand due to macro pressures and rising competition, a lack of innovation, and Musk's political ambitions. Intel (INTC) reported mixed results for the second quarter. The chip giant exceeded the consensus revenue expectations, but the bottom line fell short of estimates. Further, CEO Lip-Bu Tan announced significant cuts in chip factory construction. The company is streamlining its operations and cutting costs in an attempt to revive its business. Kohl's (KSS) made headlines this week as it became the latest stock to join the meme stock frenzy. Retail investors are buying stocks of companies like Kohl's and online residential real estate platform Opendoor Technologies (OPEN), which generally have high short seller interest, to trigger rapid rallies. UnitedHealth (UNH) stock declined after the health insurer disclosed in an SEC filing that it 'proactively' reached out to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) after reports of investigations into certain aspects of the company's participation in the Medicare program surfaced. The company added that it has started complying with formal criminal and civil requests from the DOJ. Data analytics company Palantir Technologies (PLTR) stock continued to rally this week, thanks to AI tailwinds. PLTR stock is now one of the 20 most valuable companies in the U.S. Paramount (PARA) secured the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) approval for the $8 billion merger with Skydance Media. The Q2 2025 earnings season is in full swing, with many prominent U.S. companies' earnings scheduled for this week. Spotlight will be on the earnings reports of PayPal (PYPL), Visa (V), Boeing (BA), SoFi Technologies (SOFI), UnitedHealth (UNH), Microsoft (MSFT), Meta Platforms (META), Alibaba (BABA), Ford (F), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Exxon Mobil (XOM), and Chevron (CVX).
