After a 7% Dip Post-Q2, Let's Look at Who Owns Amazon Stock ($AMZN)

Business Insider11 hours ago
Amazon.com (AMZN) stock initially dropped more than 7% after its Q2 earnings report on August 1, though it has since recovered some of those losses. While the results beat Wall Street expectations, the stock slipped as concerns grew around slowing Amazon Web Services (AWS) growth and shrinking cloud margins. Still, shares remain up roughly 32% over the past year, supported by steady gains in retail and advertising. In Q2, Amazon reported a 13% year-over-year revenue increase to $167.7 billion, while earnings per share came in at $1.68, well above the $1.33 consensus estimate. With the stock back in focus, now is a good time to take a closer look at who owns Amazon shares.

Axon Enterprise (AXON) Sees Q2 Revenue Rise To US$669 Million

Axon Enterprise recently reported its second-quarter 2025 earnings, showcasing a revenue growth to $669 million, up from $503 million a year ago, while net income experienced a decline to $36 million from $41 million. Concurrently, the company upgraded its full-year revenue guidance, suggesting optimistic future sales expectations. These events, coupled with a generally positive market environment, where the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posted solid gains while digesting various earnings and global trade developments, likely provided a backdrop that supported the company's 26% share price surge over the past quarter. The market's robust performance perhaps added momentum to Axon's share price movements, complementing the company's adjusted forward guidance. Every company has risks, and we've spotted 2 possible red flags for Axon Enterprise you should know about. Find companies with promising cash flow potential yet trading below their fair value. The recent earnings announcement and revenue guidance upgrade could enhance Axon's narrative by underscoring its potential for continued growth, particularly through international expansion and AI-driven products. Despite the quarterly net income decline, the revenue jump to US$669 million points to successful product rollouts and market demand, which may positively influence future revenue and earnings forecasts. However, political and competitive risks could still introduce volatility in their earnings potential. Over the long term, Axon's shares have delivered a very large total return exceeding 982% over five years, suggesting significant value creation and growth beyond short-term fluctuations. This impressive performance contrasts with its one-year return, which exceeded the broader US market's 22.4% and the Aerospace & Defense industry's 40% return, highlighting Axon's robust market position. With the stock currently priced at US$863.65, its alignment with the analyst price target of US$873.67 suggests limited immediate upside, reflecting a modest 1.16% discount to the price target. This relatively small difference indicates analysts believe Axon's shares are fairly priced, and future price movements may depend on the company meeting or exceeding revenue and earnings expectations spurred by current positive developments and strategic initiatives.

Asian shares mostly climb after a rally for Apple led Wall Street higher

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Asian shares mostly advanced and financial markets appeared to show scant if any reaction to higher tariffs on exports to the United States that took effect early Thursday. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 added 0.6% to 41,025.76. Hong Kong's Hang Seng climbed 0.6% to 25,057.84 and the Shanghai Composite added 0.1% to 3,637.96. China reported that its exports picked up in July, helped by a flurry of shipments by businesses taking advantage of a pause in U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff war with Beijing. South Korea's Kospi rose 0.6% to 3,217.67 while the S&P/ASX 200 in Australia shed 0.2% to 8,828.70. India's Sensex gave up 0.6% after Trump ordered tariffs on imports from the world's most populous nation to rise to 50%, citing its crude oil imports from Russia. Trump also declared 100% tariffs on computer chips with an exemption for U.S. investments. Apple's shares rose 5.1% on Wednesday ahead of a White House event where it announced an increase to its U.S. investments of an additional $100 billion over the next four years. Mizuho Bank, in a commentary, said the Trump's exemption from 100% tariffs on semiconductors for those with investments in U.S. production means trade partners may be able to use investments as a bargaining chip. Taiwan's Taiex jumped 2.4% as shares in market heavyweight Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. surged 4.9%. TSMC is the world's largest contract maker of computer chips and it has been ramping up its investments in U.S. factory capacity, helping to alleviate the impact from higher tariffs. South Korean chipmakers also saw strong gains, with Samsung Electronics jumping 2.1% after the government said its products would also be subject to the exemption. On Wednesday, a rally for Apple led Wall Street higher, with U.S. stocks reclaiming more of their sharp losses from last week. The S&P 500 rose 0.7% to 6,345.06. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.2% to 44,193.12, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 1.2% to 21,169.42. Apple alone accounted for more than a third of the S&P 500's gain. Trading elsewhere on Wall Street was mixed following a jumble of profit reports. McDonald's and Shopify rose following their latest updates, while Super Micro Computer tumbled after its earnings and revenue came in below analysts' expectations. The Walt Disney Co. fell after its earnings beat forecasts but its revenue fell short Worries are still high that Trump's tariffs may be hurting the economy, but hopes for coming cuts to interest rates by the Federal Reserve and a parade of stronger-than-expected profit reports from U.S. companies have helped steady the market. In other dealings early Thursday, benchmark U.S. crude climbed 44 cents to $64.79 a barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, added 42 cents to $67.31 a barrel. The U.S. dollar slipped to 147.33 Japanese yen from 147.36 yen. The euro cost $1.1670, up from $1.1661.
