However, not everyone was pleased with Ninja Blast, with one reviewer expressing disappointment: "I don't understand how this product has decent reviews. It claims to blend ice but clearly can't manage it. I had one product delivered that on first use broke (solid orange light). I've now got a replacement, it managed to blend milk and egg, first use with any ice and the solid orange light is back. If you want something that can blend drinks with ice, this is not the one."

Amazon cloud computing results fail to impress, shares dive
July 31 (Reuters) - (AMZN.O), opens new tab on Thursday forecast third-quarter sales above market estimates, but failed to live up to lofty expectations for its Amazon Web Services cloud computing unit after rivals handily beat Wall Street forecasts. Shares plunged by more than 7% after-hours. Before releasing the results, Amazon had finished regular trading up 1.7% to $234.11. Both Google-parent Alphabet (GOOGL.O), opens new tab and Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab posted big cloud computing revenue gains this month. AWS profit margins also contracted. Amazon said they were 32.9% in the second quarter, down from 39.5% in this year's first quarter and 35.5% a year ago. The second-quarter margin results were at their lowest level since the final quarter of 2023. "AWS is their growth engine and to see that drop in margin is dropping the stock," said Ken Mahoney, CEO of Mahoney Asset Management. "The market was looking for further fireworks to take this up back to new highs and beyond." AWS reported a 17.5% increase in revenue to $30.9 billion, edging past expectations of $30.77 billion. By comparison, sales for Microsoft's Azure rose 39% and Google Cloud gained 32%. Amazon expects total net sales to be between $174.0 billion and $179.5 billion in the third quarter, compared with analysts' average estimate of $173.08 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. The range for operating income in the current quarter was also light. Amazon forecast between $15.5 billion and $20.5 billion, compared with expectations of $19.45 billion. Both Microsoft and Alphabet cited massive demand for their cloud computing services to boost their already huge capital spending, but also noted they still faced capacity constraints that limited their ability to meet demand. AWS represents a small part of Amazon's total revenue, but it is a key driver of profits, typically accounting for about 60% of Amazon's overall operating income. While Amazon has poured billions of dollars into AI infrastructure, analysts have said the lack of a strong AI model from AWS is causing concerns that the company could be trailing rivals in AI development. The AWS results are "alarming," said Dave Wagner, portfolio manager for Aptus Capital Advisers, which holds Amazon shares. "Amazon is an operating leverage story and they had to be able to grow, at least relative to costs. And they haven't done it. The largest tech companies have been boosting capital expenditures to add more data center capacity, particularly for artificial intelligence software deployment and development. Amazon said it expected roughly second-half spending roughly the same as its second quarter total of $31.4 billion, suggesting it would spend around $118 billion for the full year. Analysts had projected about $100 billion. On Wednesday, Microsoft said it would spend a record $30 billion in the current quarter. Google-parent Alphabet raised its spending forecast by $10 billion to $85 billion for the year. Seattle-based Amazon posted online store sales of $61.5 billion, an 11% gain. Advertising sales, a fast-growing segment for Amazon, were up 23% to $15.7 billion. Investors have been watching Amazon's e-commerce unit for any signs that tariff-related uncertainty has dashed consumer confidence. U.S. data showed consumer spending rose moderately in June. CEO Andy Jassy, in a call with analysts, addressed concerns about the impacts of tariffs on Amazon's core retail business. "Through the first half of the year, we haven't yet seen diminishing demand nor prices meaningfully appreciating," he said on a call with analysts. "We also have such diversity of sellers in our marketplace, over 2 million sellers in total, with differing strategies of whether to pass on higher costs to consumers." He added: "We just don't know what's going to happen moving forward. It's hard to know where the tariffs are going to settle, particularly in China." President Donald Trump's tariffs have major retailers and consumer goods companies scrambling to protect margins while trying not to hurt consumer demand. Trump has said the levies will bring manufacturing power and jobs back to the U.S. Analysts had said Amazon's focus on low prices, quick delivery and its many product categories helped cement its position as the No. 1 e-commerce retailer for U.S. consumers, giving it an edge over rivals. Amazon has said it was pushing suppliers to pull forward inventories to ensure supply and keep prices as low as possible. Still, prices for goods made in China and sold on have been rising faster than overall inflation, Reuters reported last month. Amazon has been trimming jobs, including at its AWS, books, devices and podcasting units. Headcount fell by 14,000 workers from this year's first quarter, bringing the total to 1.46 million, the first decline since the beginning of 2024.

Amazon fails to quiet tariffs concerns as it offers worse-than-expected financial outlook
Amazon failed to quiet concerns over how Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs would affect its e-commerce business as it reported its latest quarterly results Thursday. Wall Street's affinity for the tech giant faltered in response. The top line numbers from Amazon's second quarter earnings report exceeded Wall Street's projections. The tech company beat expectations with its revenue up 13.3% year over year to $167.7bn. Market experts had estimated the company would report around $162bn in revenue and 9% percent growth. The company's Amazon Web Services cloud computing division reported its sales reached $30.9bn in an increase of 17.5% year over year. However, the company may not meet expectations on its operating income, reporting that it would bring in between $15.5bn and $20.5bn compared with expectations of about $19.4bn. Despite the generally positive revenue numbers, Amazon's share price fell over 3% in after hours trading, a sign investors lacked confidence in the company's immediate future. Amazon's stock was up about 6% so far this year prior to Thursday's earnings call, following a rough first quarter that saw a decline due to uncertainty around how Trump's tariffs would hurt its reliance on international sellers. The administration also criticized Amazon in April following a report that the company planned to itemize tariff-related price increases on its platform. No such itemization appeared on Amazon's marketplace. Amazon's earnings come as the company is engaged in big tech's fevered spending race to dominate the artificial intelligence market. Companies including Google, Meta and Microsoft are pledging to spend tens of billions to advance the technology, while Amazon announced it would spend $100bn in 2025 with the 'vast majority' of that going towards enhancing its AI capabilities. The company's CEO Andy Jassy touted Amazon's AI investments in an earnings press release, claiming that it had deeply integrated AI services into many of its products and operations. 'Our AI progress across the board continues to improve our customer experiences, speed of innovation, operational efficiency, and business growth, and I'm excited for what lies ahead,' Jassy said. Amazon has invested billions of dollars into massive data centers to power its Amazon Web Services cloud business and expand its use of generative AI. In June, it announced a plan to spend $20bn building two facilities in Pennsylvania. Governor Josh Shapiro described it as the largest private sector investment in the state's history. Another Amazon facility in Indiana, the company's biggest yet, stretches over 1,200 acres of land and is set to host at least 30 data centers.

Amazon has already invested $8bn in the AI company and may make another multibillion dollar investment soon, according to a Financial Times report from this month. Amazon also struck a deal earlier this year with the New York Times to use some of their content for AI training purposes or for generating summaries with its products like Alexa, with the Wall Street Journal reporting this week that the tech company would pay between $20m and $25m a year for the licensing rights.
