Amazon: Most Attractive Of The Hyperscalers

Summary Amazon.com, Inc. is rated Buy with a $327 price target, driven by growth acceleration and record operating margins. AMZN's Q2 guidance projects 18% revenue growth and an operating profit of $20–24 billion, supported by a robust AWS backlog. Margin expansion in core retail and international segments offsets AWS depreciation, with custom chips reducing Nvidia dependence and boosting value. Sum-of-the-parts valuation highlights AWS, chips, and retail segments, while technical analysis signals a breakout for AMZN stock above $271 toward $300+. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Apple: Why I Am Bullish Again In The Post-Cook Era

Summary Apple delivered record Q2 results, with $111.18B revenue (+16.6% YoY), $2.01 EPS, and robust beats on both top and bottom lines. I am upgrading AAPL to bullish, citing accelerating operational cash flow, a $100B buyback, and renewed R&D focus, especially in AI. Guidance for Q3 revenue growth (14%-17% YoY) far exceeds consensus, signaling management's confidence in sustained momentum amid margin headwinds. John Ternus assumes CEO role as AAPL enters an AI-driven era; a successful Siri overhaul and product cycle execution are key upside catalysts. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
