Amazon's $220 Billion Inflection Point

Summary Amazon.com, Inc.'s AWS revenue surged 36.7% YoY to $42.2 billion, marking five consecutive quarters of accelerating growth for AMZN despite its enormous scale. AWS backlog reached $496 billion, rising $130 billion QoQ, while 2027 capacity is largely reserved and 2028 demand remains strong. AWS operating margin expanded to approximately 39.4%, strengthening the case that rapidly growing AI workloads can deliver attractive profitability. Amazon expects $220 billion of 2026 cash CapEx, pushing TTM FCF to negative $7.6 billion despite strengthening underlying demand. AMZN Q2 GAAP EPS of $5.75 benefited substantially from $53.4 billion of non-operating income, creating an important earnings-quality risk. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

PDD: Cheap, But Regulatory Risk Makes The Discount Deserved

Summary PDD Holdings is fundamentally cheap, highly profitable, and maintains a real competitive edge in lower-end Chinese retail. With growing regulatory scrutiny both in China and internationally over food and product safety and PDD's compliance record, I believe a meaningful discount is warranted. PDD received the harshest penalty in China's “ghost takeout” crackdown, with regulators specifically citing false information and repeated obstruction during the investigation. The financial impact of the penalty is minor, but ongoing regulatory scrutiny, reputation risks, and general uncertainty now weigh heavily on the investment thesis and PDD's rerating potential. At this valuation I cannot justify rating PDD a Sell, but I would avoid initiating new positions until PDD demonstrates materially better regulatory cooperation and compliance; I rate PDD a hold.

Miniso: Downgrade To Hold; Solid Yield And IP Traction Offset By Capital Allocation Overhang

Summary We downgrade Miniso to HOLD from BUY due to questionable capital allocation and execution risks. MNSO's investment in Yonghui Supermarket raises concerns about capital misallocation and lack of clear strategic benefit. Despite attractive 12% total shareholder yield and low 7.4x earnings multiple, YH overhang and rising opex cap upside. US expansion and strong IP collaborations drive topline potential, but sustained operating leverage is needed for re-rating. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
