"Quantica unlocks new opportunities by delivering shovel-ready, network-ready sites with dedicated renewable energy and resilient power supplies, so our customers can focus on innovation, not infrastructure logistics."

Amazon Falls on Fears That AWS Is Losing Market Share: Should You Buy the AMZN Stock Dip Here?
Amazon (AMZN) released its Q2 earnings after the close last night on Thursday, July 31, and the stock is trading lower today as the company's guidance came in lighter than consensus estimates. Moreover, fears of its enterprise-focused Amazon Web Services (AWS) losing market share spooked investors. While it has been a strong earnings season for the 'Magnificent 7,' as names like Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta Platforms (META) zoomed higher after showing progress on artificial intelligence (AI) monetization, Amazon will join Tesla (TSLA) as only the second constituent to gap down after the June quarter earnings. (Apple (AAPL), while lower today, is off just 1.83%.) In this article, we'll look at some of the key takeaways from Amazon's Q2 earnings and examine whether it makes sense to buy the dip here. More News from Barchart With UnitedHealth Under DOJ Investigation, Should You Buy, Sell, or Hold UNH Stock Now? Trump Won't Take Away Tesla's Subsidies. Does That Make TSLA Stock a Safe Buy Here? Can AMD Stock Hit $210 in 2025? Our exclusive Barchart Brief newsletter is your FREE midday guide to what's moving stocks, sectors, and investor sentiment - delivered right when you need the info most. Subscribe today! Amazon Q2 Earnings Analysis Amazon reported revenues of $167.7 billion in the quarter that easily surpassed the $162.09 billion that analysts were expecting. The company's earnings per share came in at $1.68, ahead of the $1.33 that analysts were modeling. The company guided for Q3 revenues between $174 billion and $179.5 billion, implying a YoY growth between 10%-13%, which was better than Street estimates. However, management guided for Q3 operating income between $15.5 billion and $20.5 billion, with the midpoint of that range trailing the consensus estimate of $19.48 billion. Weaker-than-expected guidance has been a recurring theme for Amazon over the last few quarters, as the company has blamed macroeconomic conditions, and more recently, 'tariff and trade policies' along with 'recessionary fears' as factors affecting its guidance. Key Takeaways from Amazon's Q2 Earnings The key reason Amazon stock is falling today seems to be due to the relatively tepid performance of AWS. Here are some of the key takeaways from that segment's performance. AWS Margins Dipped in Q2: During Q2, AWS revenues rose 17.5% YoY, and it now has an annualized revenue run rate of $123 billion. However, that segment's operating margin fell to 32.9% as compared to a record high of 39.5% in Q1. The company attributed lower margins to higher stock-based compensation, higher depreciation expense, and adverse forex movements. AWS Might Be Losing Market Share: Expectedly, Amazon faced questions over AWS losing market share in cloud, as Microsoft (MSFT) Azure and Google (GOOG) (GOOGL) Cloud – the top two cloud players in that order, after Amazon – reported 39% and 32% yearly revenue growth, respectively, in the June quarter. Notably, during its fiscal Q4 2025 earnings release, Microsoft said that Azure's annual revenue was $75 billion in the quarter, marking the first time that the Satya Nadella-led company provided a dollar number for that business. Azure is Now 65% the Size of AWS: Alluding to Microsoft, CEO Andy Jassy said that while Azure is around 65% the size of AWS, Amazon has a 'pretty significant" leadership position in the cloud market. Responding to a question about AWS, Jassy said, 'We're growing faster than others and sometimes others are growing faster than us.' Jassy added, 'The security and the privacy of that data matter a lot, and there are very different results in security in AWS than you'll see in other players.' AMZN Stock Forecast After Q2 Earnings Analysts don't seem too perturbed by Amazon's guidance, though, and several brokerages - including Rosenblatt, Bank of America, Piper Sandler, Barclays, and Susquehanna - all raised the stock's target price following the earnings report, while maintaining their respective ratings. To be fair, the target price adjustments haven't been to the scale that we have seen in the past, as Amazon's latest earnings have raised a question mark about AWS's market domination in the cloud market. Scott Devitt, Managing Director of Equity Research at Wedbush Securities, gave a B+ to Amazon's earnings. While he is not too apprehensive about the Q3 guide, given the fact that Amazon tends to provide a conservative forecast that it happens to beat more often than not, he believes the plunge today is related to AWS's relatively weak performance vis-à-vis other big cloud players. Should You Buy Amazon Stock On the Dip? I have been a bit bearish on Amazon for the last month or so, given the tariff uncertainty. The company managed to dodge the tariff bullet in Q2 as President Trump scaled back his rhetoric. Sellers on its platform had also built up inventory in advance to absorb the tariff costs. However, as that inventory now withers away and tariff uncertainty comes back to haunt markets, we could see some volatility in names like Amazon. From a valuation perspective, Amazon currently trades at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple of 36.6x, which, while not overly demanding, is not mouthwateringly cheap either, especially for the short term. Overall, I am not rushing to buy the Amazon stock dip here, even though I continue to remain invested in the company for the long term. On the date of publication, Mohit Oberoi had a position in: AMZN, GOOG, MSFT, META. All information and data in this article is solely for informational purposes.

Why NuScale Power Stock Crashed Today
Key Points Fluor announced it will convert 15 million of its Class B shares in NuScale into Class A shares. Once this happens, Fluor will be able to begin selling the Class A shares on the stock market. Investors expect this is precisely what Fluor intends. 10 stocks we like better than NuScale Power › Shares of NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR), the nuclear reactor-builder, tumbled 11.7% through 11:50 a.m. ET Friday -- not for any fault of its own, mind you. Instead, you can blame it all on Fluor (NYSE: FLR), which has decided to unload a big chunk of the NuScale shares it owns. Fluor selling out? Fluor reported poor earnings this morning, you see -- with sales down 6% year over year and adjusted profit cut nearly in half. More importantly to NuScale investors, though, is the fact that Fluor wants to convert 15 million of the Class B NuScale shares it owns to Class A shares... and then sell them. And why? As Fluor pointed out, gains in the value of its NuScale shares contributed $3.2 billion in "pre-tax mark-to-market gains" on its profit in Q2 -- but the roller-coaster ride that is NuScale is also contributing to "volatility" in Fluor's results, and forcing Fluor management to make "recurring fair value measurements" as it tracks NuScale's ups and downs. Is it time to sell NuScale stock? To fix this, Fluor said in its post-earnings conference call, the company will later this month convert 15 million NuScale Class B shares into Class A shares. The implication is that Fluor might then sell these A shares for cash. More than just simplifying accounting, this would return value to shareholders, says Fluor, by letting them cash in on NuScale's remarkable high-flying stock. It would also, however, threaten to flood the market with cheap NuScale shares, depressing the share price. This, in a nutshell, is what's worrying investors today. This is the reason they're selling off NuScale stock. With NuScale stock up fivefold over the past year, and this new risk on the horizon, it looks like a good time to sell.

Stifel Called Amazon (AMZN) a Buy Before Earnings With a $262 Price Target
Inc. (NASDAQ:) is one of the . On July 30, Stifel analyst Mark Kelly raised the price target on the stock to $262.00 (from $245.00) while maintaining a 'Buy' rating. 'Third-party data suggests a better 2Q than expected, as the Trump administration has either struck more favorable deals, or pushed out tariff implementation while waiting for deals to be struck. The e-commerce group, in particular, has been volatile throughout these announcements/implementation delays, and we largely believe a lot of the upside to numbers is baked into most of our coverage. Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is an American technology company offering e-commerce, cloud computing, and other services, including digital streaming and artificial intelligence solutions. While we acknowledge the potential of AMZN as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
