Amazon's Pre-Earnings Setup Is Almost Too Clean—Red Flag?
Having closed out Monday's session just under $233, shares of tech giant Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) are now trading within just $10 of their all-time high from last February. The 45% rally since April has been nothing short of extraordinary, a clean, uninterrupted move upward with higher highs and higher lows dominating the chart. But with Amazon's much-anticipated Q2 earnings due on Thursday, investors now need to ask themselves: has the rally been too perfect? Is sentiment running too hot? Could a strong but not exceptional report trigger a pullback? Let's jump in and take a closer look. The Bull Case: Clean Trend, Strong Support Let's start with what's undeniable. The chart, since April, is immaculate. Since bottoming out at the start of that month, Amazon has barely looked back. Momentum has stayed strong, with effectively no major pullbacks, and the bulls have aggressively defended and bought into every dip. The stock's relative strength index (RSI) is 68, warm, but far from overbought. Technically, the setup remains undoubtedly bullish. Add to that the unrelenting analyst support. Already this week, the likes of UBS and Morgan Stanley reiterated their Buy and Overweight ratings, respectively, with their boosted price targets now ranging as high as $271. If Amazon were to hit this in the coming weeks and months, it'd be well above February's all-time high and far into blue sky territory. Crucially, Amazon's fundamentals continue to offer support. Consensus estimates for Thursday's report call for a 9.4% year-over-year (YOY) increase in revenue, with earnings per share growth expected to be closer to 3.6% YOY. Unsurprisingly, the company's AWS unit is expected to contribute quite a bit, with many on Wall Street forecasting its revenue will accelerate into the year's second half and beyond. The Bear Case: Expectations Are Sky-High However, here's the counter-argument: when a stock rallies this hard for this long, it sets a very high bar. And even though analysts are calling for the rally to continue, Amazon may need to deliver more than just strong numbers to justify the recent move. Keep in mind that the stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is now at 38, a little frothier compared to last quarter and certainly richer when stacked against peers like Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ: GOOGL), which has a P/E ratio closer to 20. That kind of valuation demands clear margin expansion, accelerating revenue growth, and/or a blowout AI narrative. Anything less could easily disappoint investors and send them rushing to take profits. Some cracks are already being watched; the forecasted 3.6% growth in EPS feels a tad underwhelming. The company's free cash flow has also been declining in recent quarters, and further signs of this trend could be a red flag for long-term investors concerned about capital allocation in the face of surging AI infrastructure costs and geopolitical risks. Time to Be Cautious or Confident? If you're already long, there's a strong case for holding through earnings. As noted above, the trend is intact, the analyst community is behind the stock, and Amazon is showing signs of firing on all cylinders. But if you're looking to initiate a new position, some caution might be warranted; just one soft datapoint or conservative comment could knock the stock back. And here's the rub: because Amazon's rally has had few to no pullbacks, there's no clear line of support unless you go back to around the $200 mark, and that's dangerous. However, Amazon remains one of the most dominant businesses in the world, and this week's earnings will be an opportunity to prove that once again. Even if there is a post-earnings pullback, remember, corrections are a healthy and necessary part of a longer-term uptrend, and that's ultimately how investors and Wall Street alike are looking at Amazon today. Where Should You Invest $1,000 Right Now? Before you make your next trade, you'll want to hear this. MarketBeat keeps track of Wall Street's top-rated and best performing research analysts and the stocks they recommend to their clients on a daily basis. Our team has identified the five stocks that top analysts are quietly whispering to their clients to buy now before the broader market catches on... and none of the big name stocks were on the list.

2 Stocks That Turned $1,000 Into $2 Million
Key Points Amazon and Microsoft have turned modest sums into fortunes. Both pioneered consumer-facing industries, selling products and services that millions of people use. There's potential for more growth. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › The S&P 500 index, arguably the most consistent and proven long-term wealth-building investment mechanism in modern history, averaged a return of 8% per year from 1928 through 2024, which included some big up years and some big down years. If you could get an 8% return every year, you could turn $1,000 into $1 million in about 90 years. Admittedly, that's a long time. They are rare, practically unicorns, but exceptional companies do come along now and then that perform the feat of turning $1,000 into $1 million or more much faster than the broader stock market. Here are two case studies featuring consumer-facing companies that dominated, but didn't stop. Instead, they continued to expand and grow, becoming two of the world's largest companies. While they are too large at this point to replicate their past returns, they remain excellent buy-and-hold candidates for a long-term portfolio and can serve as a blueprint for success for anyone looking for the next big thing. 1. Amazon E-commerce giant Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) started as one of the pioneers of online shopping. Amazon went public in 1997, and $1,000 invested then is worth over $2 million now. Dividends contribute a significant portion of the stock market's historical returns -- but not Amazon's, as the company has never paid a dividend, choosing instead to reinvest its profits in growth and expansion. Today, Amazon is more than the dominant online retailer in the United States. It has built several successful businesses, including its Prime subscription, a digital advertising unit, the Prime Video streaming service, and its cloud computing platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS), which has become the world's leading cloud services company and is also Amazon's primary profit center. AMZN Total Return Price data by YCharts Amazon is now a multitrillion-dollar company by market cap, so its highest-growth years are probably behind it. However, there is still plenty of long-term upside here. E-commerce represents less than one-fifth of total retail spending in the United States. Additionally, cloud computing has a long runway ahead as companies migrate from localized servers to the cloud, and that was before artificial intelligence (AI) emerged as a monster growth opportunity a few years ago. It won't be easy to find another company like Amazon. That said, Amazon's success demonstrates the upside of companies operating in vast addressable markets, where companies can grow for decades. Going beyond that, those companies should have a culture obsessed with innovation, and a curiosity to explore and ultimately pursue new opportunities. Amazon's evolution beyond e-commerce has ultimately shaped it into what it is today. 2. Microsoft Technology giant Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) has an unmatched legacy in the broader technology sector. The company launched its Windows 1.0 operating system software in 1985, setting Microsoft on a path to becoming the global juggernaut it is today. That journey has seen the stock turn a $1,000 investment in 1986 into over $2 million. Windows remains the leading PC operating system, but Microsoft's business has expanded dramatically over the years. The Microsoft tech empire now encompasses Microsoft 365 (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), Azure cloud, LinkedIn, Microsoft Teams, Bing, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Dynamics, Xbox, and more. The countless consumers and companies that use its products each day create powerful network effects, making it challenging to dethrone Microsoft. When the company introduces something new, such as its Copilot AI assistant, it already has easy access to all those existing customers. MSFT Total Return Price data by YCharts Few companies can match Microsoft's financial prowess at this point. It's one of just two companies with a better credit rating than the United States government, generates tens of billions of dollars of cash profits each year, and is investing heavily in AI as the next technology frontier that it hopes will fuel the company's growth over the next decade and beyond. Despite all this, Microsoft also pays a dividend that it has increased for 23 consecutive years. Microsoft isn't the best at everything, but it seldom misses out entirely on an opportunity -- whiffing on smartphones was a rare exception. Investors hoping to find a similar success story in the future will want to look for companies that recognize the power of network effects and lean into them as Microsoft has.

4 Artificial Intelligence Stocks (That Aren't Nvidia) You Can Buy and Hold for the Next Decade
Key Points Meta Platforms is leveraging its massive user base to develop and test new AI products, aiming to maintain its leadership in social media and capitalize on future growth. Amazon is well positioned to benefit from the AI boom through the dominance of AWS. Uber Technologies and Aurora Innovations are strategically positioned in the burgeoning autonomous vehicle market, each with its own approach. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › While Nvidia is undoubtedly the dominant player in artificial intelligence (AI) and a smart investment, let's consider a few other companies that stand to gain enormously from the advent of AI. While these companies occupy different places in the AI ecosystem, they are all incredible businesses that are investments that will pay off over the long term. 1. META: Unrivaled engagement Meta Platforms ' (NASDAQ: META) dominance in social media is unmatched. The company oversees several of the most-used apps in the world and commands the attention of over 3.4 billion daily active users worldwide. This already makes the company incredibly successful, pulling in nearly $165 billion last year in sales from which it made a profit of more than $62 billion. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Not resting on its laurels, the company has been investing heavily in the future, especially in AI. This is where Meta's user base will give the company an edge. It has ready access to incredible amounts of data as well as a direct pipeline to consumers ready to deploy its AI products and test them in the real world. And Meta can afford to keep investing even if it takes time to see a true return on its investment. Even after spending just shy of $40 billion in capital expenditures (capex), the company still had free cash flow (FCF) last year of over $36 billion. 2. AMZN: Cloud dominance Amazon 's (NASDAQ: AMZN) bread and butter, e-commerce, remains an absolute juggernaut incredibly difficult to displace. Amazon has built incredible brand loyalty, and the cost to try to replicate the back end makes it essentially a non-starter for a new entrant. The company's Amazon Web Service (AWS) is the most dominant cloud provider in the world, and with the influx of cash from companies racing to build more and more powerful AI models, it's growing rapidly. AWS revenue jumped 17% year over year in the first quarter of 2025. Speaking of the scale of the opportunity, CEO Andy Jassy recently drove home just how big he thought it could be, saying: "Before this generation of AI, we thought AWS had the chance to ultimately be a multi-hundred billion dollar revenue run rate business. We now think it could be even larger." 3. AUR: Robotrucking leader While a ton of focus has been on consumer-facing autonomous driving, autonomous trucking is a market with massive potential. Trucking is a massive industry, and labor costs involved in trucking are high; there is an obvious cost benefit for trucking companies to implement autonomous technology. Aurora Innovations (NASDAQ: AUR) is a leader in the space. It's proven its technology works, it is well capitalized, and it has major relationships with important partners. Yes, this is a pre-revenue company and more risky than the others on this list, and with a market capitalization of nearly $10 billion, the stock is not cheap. I think it's justified, however, when you consider the potential of future revenues; a recent McKinsey analysis estimates the global market will be worth north of $600 billion by 2035. 4. UBER: Gateway to robotaxis Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER) is positioning itself to succeed in the robotaxi market despite not developing its own autonomous technology (it sold that to Aurora in 2020). Where other companies are focusing on building their own vehicles and autonomous technology, Uber is taking another approach. Rather than attempting to develop its own technology or building its own fleet from the ground up, the company is forging partnerships with those who are. Opting to focus on connecting the robotaxis to its vast consumer base is a smart place to be, in my view. For one, it is much less capital intensive, and two, Uber stands to gain no matter what company wins the robotaxi race. If any of its partners' autonomous driving systems prove successful and scalable, Uber is poised to benefit by providing the crucial connection between that technology and the end user.
