Amazon демонстрирует сильные фундаментальные показатели, однако высокая оценка по мультипликаторам, таким как P/E, P/S и P/FCF, указывает на возможную переоцененность. Несмотря на это, эффективность компании проявляется в высоких значениях ROE и ROA, что говорит о сильной прибыльности. Низкий коэффициент долговой нагрузки (debt_equity_ratio) также является положительным фактором, указывающим на устойчивую финансовую позицию. Динамика выручки и чистой прибыли показывает уверенный рост, что создает позитивный фон для будущих ожиданий. Тем не менее, текущее значение текущего коэффициента ниже медианы отрасли, что может вызывать опасения о ликвидности. В целом, несмотря на некоторую переоцененность по мультипликаторам, успешная операционная деятельность и сильные финансовые результаты позволяют компании оставаться в фокусе инвесторов. Однако, следует учитывать риски, связанные с высокой оценкой и конкурентной средой в секторе потребительских товаров выборочного спроса.

Amazon (AMZN) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

Wednesday, April 29th, 2026
“Thank you very much, everyone,” Fed Chair Jerome Powell said to the press corps following the latest FOMC decision, to light applause, “I won’t see you next time.” With that, the Fed Chair changes hands to former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh for the next FOMC meeting in June. As expected, no change was made to the 3.50-3.75% Fed funds rate, just as it has been since December of last year.
The economy continues to expand at a “solid rate,” as stated in the FOMC release prior to Powell’s press conference, with unemployment little changed. Stephen Miran, as expected, was the lone policy dissenter — advising yet another 25 basis-point (bps) cut on interest rates. Fed Presidents Hammack, Kashkari and Logan dissented on the opposite side of sentiment: they did not want to keep language regarding a bias toward easing, as has been the case for quite some time.
Powell spoke to this in the presser, citing that “the center is moving toward a more neutral place,” despite Miran’s opinion to the contrary. The Iran war is contributing to a “high level of uncertainty” regarding the economy going forward, with higher global energy prices adding to inflation pressure. This is reminiscent of tariff inflation from a year ago, which Powell today said he expects will subside over the course of this year.
The burning question on the lips of many in the press corps was answered by Powell before the Q&A period began: he would be staying on as Fed Governor instead of retiring, and will not leave the board until investigations and legal actions taken against him by the Trump administration are truly over, “with finality and transparency.” Currently there is some question whether the Inspector General will reopen this investigation.
In his demure manner, Powell went further than at any time previously in describing what is at stake with the Fed’s independence: legal actions are “battering the institution,” Fed independence is what “separates successful countries from unsuccessful ones,” and “if we had acted politically, we would have no credibility.” The outgoing Fed chair said it is not his intention to interfere with the incoming Fed alignment, and that he will remain on until he finds it “appropriate to leave.”
Heavyweights of AI Report Astounding Earnings, Growth
There’s no other way to describe this afternoon’s earnings results than “gargantuan.” The biggest of the big AI players are beginning to show results of their capital expenditures over the past couple years, and the numbers are astounding.
Microsoft MSFT was the tamest of the lot, with fiscal Q3 earnings per share of $4.27 outperforming expectations by two solid dimes, for a +23.4% positive earnings surprise. Revenues of $82.89 billion easily surpassed the $81.40 billion anticipated. But shares are still -2% on the news, as heavy capex is keeping the stock trading down -14% year to date. Its Business Software unit grew +17% year over year and Azure was +40% (still slightly below their “whisper number”), so you can see the results AI is having for the company already.
Alphabet GOOGL shares are up +5.8% on its Q1 report this afternoon, with earnings of $2.81 per share outpacing the $2.64 projected on +22% revenue growth to $109.9 billion (minus Traffic Acquisition Costs [TAC], as Zacks prefers to report it, this figure reaches $96.2 billion, ahead of the $92.2 billion expected). Services were up +16%, including Search +16% and YouTube +11% in the quarter, but it was Cloud that really saw a huge jump: +63% in revenues to $20 billion, with its AI Gemini unit +40% quarter over quarter.
Amazon AMZN blew the doors off earnings expectations in its Q1 report this afternoon: $2.78 per share versus the $1.60 estimate on $181.5 billion in revenues, up from $177.8 billion in the Zacks consensus. AWS demonstrated its fastest growth in 15 quarters, +28% to $37.6 billion, while operating cash flow rose +30% to $148.5 billion. Yet its extraordinary capex spending — upwards of $200 billion — is giving investors some sticker shock, sending shares down -3.8% in after-hours trading.
Meta Platforms META put up the biggest earnings surprise of them all in its Q1 report after the close: $10.44 per share, crushing the $6.71 estimate and +62% year over year on $56.31 billion in revenues surpassing the $55.49 billion expected, +33% year over year. Yet revenues for next quarter are being guided relatively in-line with earlier estimates while, again, extraordinary capex spending is sending shares -6.7% in the after-market, swinging to negative growth in share price year-to-date.

Powell to Stay on as Fed Governor, Plus Huge Mag 7 Earnings

Amazon (AMZN) reported $181.52 billion in revenue for the quarter ended March 2026, representing a year-over-year increase of 16.6%. EPS of $1.56 for the same period compares to $1.59 a year ago.
The reported revenue compares to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $177.84 billion, representing a surprise of +2.07%. The company delivered an EPS surprise of -2.22%, with the consensus EPS estimate being $1.60.
While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.
Since these metrics play a crucial role in driving the top- and bottom-line numbers, comparing them with the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated about them helps investors better project a stock's price performance.
Here is how Amazon performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:
Y/Y net sales growth - AWS: 28% versus the six-analyst average estimate of 26.5%.
Physical stores Y/Y Change: 4% compared to the 5.2% average estimate based on five analysts.
Advertising services Y/Y Change: 22% versus the five-analyst average estimate of 21.8%.
Third-party seller services Y/Y Change: 12% compared to the 11.5% average estimate based on five analysts.
Net Sales- AWS: $37.59 billion versus $36.75 billion estimated by nine analysts on average. Compared to the year-ago quarter, this number represents a +28.4% change.
Net Sales- International: $39.79 billion versus the six-analyst average estimate of $38.9 billion. The reported number represents a year-over-year change of +18.7%.
Net Sales- Advertising services: $17.24 billion versus $16.97 billion estimated by six analysts on average. Compared to the year-ago quarter, this number represents a +23.9% change.
Net Sales- North America: $104.14 billion versus the six-analyst average estimate of $101.89 billion. The reported number represents a year-over-year change of +12.1%.
Net Sales- Online stores: $64.25 billion versus $62.77 billion estimated by six analysts on average. Compared to the year-ago quarter, this number represents a +11.9% change.
Net Sales- Subscription services: $13.43 billion compared to the $12.92 billion average estimate based on six analysts. The reported number represents a change of +14.6% year over year.
Net Sales- Physical stores: $5.79 billion versus $5.83 billion estimated by six analysts on average. Compared to the year-ago quarter, this number represents a +4.6% change.
Net Sales- Third-party seller services: $41.58 billion compared to the $40.74 billion average estimate based on six analysts. The reported number represents a change of +13.9% year over year.
Shares of Amazon have returned +24.7% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +12.2% change. The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), indicating that it could perform in line with the broader market in the near term.

Amazon (AMZN) Q1 Earnings: Taking a Look at Key Metrics Versus Estimates

Amazon (AMZN) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.56 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.6 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.59 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -2.22%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this online retailer would post earnings of $1.98 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.95, delivering a surprise of -1.52%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Amazon, which belongs to the Zacks Internet - Commerce industry, posted revenues of $181.52 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.07%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $155.67 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Amazon shares have added about 12.5% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 4.3%.
What's Next for Amazon?
While Amazon has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Amazon was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.76 on $188.37 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $7.71 on $807.44 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Internet - Commerce is currently in the bottom 28% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Another stock from the same industry, MercadoLibre (MELI), has yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026.
This operator of an online marketplace and payments system in Latin America is expected to post quarterly earnings of $9.73 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -0.1%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 9.5% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.
MercadoLibre's revenues are expected to be $8.41 billion, up 41.8% from the year-ago quarter.

Amazon (AMZN) Q1 Earnings Lag Estimates

Key Points
CoreWeave and Nebius both provide cloud-based AI infrastructure services.
The market’s demand for those services is outstripping their near-term capacity.
It might seem like a risky time to buy growth stocks. The Middle East conflict remains unresolved, inflation remains high, and the Fed is reluctant to cut interest rates again. All of those challenges will likely drive investors toward more conservative investments.
However, long-term investors who can look past those near-term challenges can still find some attractive growth plays in this volatile market. Let's take a closer look at two of those compelling stocks: CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV) and Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS).
Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue »
CoreWeave
CoreWeave was originally an Ethereum mining company. But after the cryptocurrency market's crash in 2018, it abandoned that business model and repurposed its mining GPUs to remotely process AI tasks.
CoreWeave subsequently installed more than 250,000 of Nvidia's (NASDAQ: NVDA) top-tier data center GPUs in its servers, and it expanded its footprint from just three data centers at the end of 2022 to 43 locations in early 2026. That scale enables it to process AI tasks roughly 35 times faster and 80% cheaper than larger and more diversified cloud infrastructure platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Azure.
From 2022 to 2025, CoreWeave's revenue surged from $16 million to $5.1 billion. Analysts expect its revenue to surge more than sevenfold to $36.7 million in 2028. That's an impressive growth trajectory for a stock that trades at less than five times this year's sales.
CoreWeave's stock looks cheaper than other AI stocks because it's still deeply unprofitable and ended 2025 with a high debt-to-equity ratio of 13.8. That red ink and high leverage could force it to issue more shares to fund its capital-intensive expansion.
Some investors might also be concerned about its dependence on Microsoft, which historically accounts for over half of its revenue. However, CoreWeave is gradually reducing its dependence on Microsoft through new deals with OpenAI and Nvidia, and analysts expect it to turn profitable by 2028 as economies of scale kick in. Therefore, CoreWeave remains a promising growth stock for investors who can stomach near-term volatility.
Nebius Group
Nebius is another provider of cloud-based AI infrastructure services. It was once known as Yandex, which owned Russia's top search engine and other popular apps. However, it divested its Russian assets in early 2022 (in response to the sanctions against Russia), relocated its business to the Netherlands, and rebranded itself as Nebius.
As Nebius, it operates a single first-party data center in Finland and leases additional data centers through colocation deals in the U.S., the U.K., and Europe. It's also in the process of building a second first-party data center in New Jersey.
Unlike CoreWeave, which mainly processes GPU-intensive AI tasks, Nebius provides customized AI services for the data training, edtech, and autonomous robotics markets. It integrates managed software services (like Kubernetes) into its data centers. By bundling those services, it widens its moat and positions itself as a "full stack" AI infrastructure company.
Nebius' earlier financials (as Yandex) are no longer relevant. But after fully transforming into a cloud-based AI infrastructure company, its revenue surged 351% to $530 million in 2025. By 2027, analysts expect its revenue to surge 19 times to $10.1 billion. It's expected to stay unprofitable, but it ended 2025 with a manageable debt-to-equity ratio of 1.7.
Nebius, which trades at 14 times this year's sales, might seem pricier than CoreWeave. However, it deserves that higher valuation because it's growing faster, less dependent on Microsoft (although it's still a top customer), and it's shouldering less debt. Therefore, it might have even more upside potential than CoreWeave and other slower-growth AI stocks.

The Best Growth Stocks to Buy Right Now

Key Points
Amazon consistently generates a significantly higher volume of total revenue than Microsoft across the periods reviewed.
Both companies demonstrated a steady upward trend in revenue, with Amazon displaying more quarter-over-quarter volatility compared to Microsoft's generally smoother trajectory.
Investors should watch whether the revenue gap between the two companies continues to widen or if the growth rates begin to align in upcoming quarters.
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) generate revenue from different businesses, but they clash head-to-head in the cloud computing market.
While Amazon benefits from a larger scale, including the cloud market, Microsoft is consistently growing its revenue faster. The software giant also generates significantly higher margins and smoother quarter-to-quarter revenue.
Microsoft: A Steady Revenue Trajectory
Microsoft primarily generates revenue by developing, licensing, and supporting software, devices, and cloud computing solutions for consumers and enterprises worldwide.
It has posted strong growth in cloud services, with Microsoft Cloud revenue up 26% year over year in the fiscal second quarter. It also recently ended its exclusive rights to host OpenAI models in April 2026, while reporting a net income margin of about 47% for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2025.
Amazon: Higher Total Revenue With Seasonal Shifts
Amazon earns revenue from the retail sale of consumer products in online and physical stores, as well as from subscription programs and extensive cloud computing services.
It announced a definitive merger agreement to acquire Globalstar. This will enable Amazon’s satellite internet service to launch direct-to-device services. It also recently outlined plans to expand same-day prescription delivery in early 2026. The company’s net income margin was just under 10% for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2025.
Why Revenue Matters for Retail Investors
Revenue is the most fundamental metric to evaluate a company’s performance. Changes over time indicate how easy it is to expand operations and reach new customers. This alone can reveal important insights about a company’s long-term return potential to investors.

Foolish Take
Amazon’s revenue is nearly three times Microsoft’s, but Microsoft has posted higher year-over-year growth over the past three years.
Amazon generates revenue across a range of businesses, including e-commerce, advertising, fulfillment services, and cloud services. In the cloud, Amazon leads, with nearly $129 billion in annual revenue from Amazon Web Services.
Microsoft is primarily selling office software and cloud services to businesses and consumers. It generates much less revenue, but it is growing consistently faster. In the December-ending quarter, Microsoft posted a 17% year-over-year revenue increase, outpacing Amazon’s 14%.
Where these companies compete head-to-head is in the cloud, and Microsoft is steadily eroding Amazon’s lead. Revenue from Microsoft Azure grew 39% year over year last quarter, significantly outpacing Amazon Web Services’ 24%.
Investors should watch how these companies’ growth continues to evolve in the coming quarters. Microsoft’s faster-growing cloud business could help it narrow the gap.
The cloud market is where companies are engaging with artificial intelligence (AI) tools, so the relative market shares and growth rates between these competitors could say a lot about which one is better positioned to capitalize on AI demand.

Apple AAPL continues to benefit from the strength of its Services segment, supported by growing traction in streaming content and an expanding Apple Arcade gaming portfolio. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Services contributed 20.9% of total net sales, with revenues rising 14% year over year to $30.01 billion.
Apple TV+ has been a key growth driver. The platform saw viewership jump 36% year over year in December, fueled by the success of titles like Pluribus. Momentum is expected to continue with a strong upcoming lineup, including Cape Fear from Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese, along with the fourth season of Ted Lasso. Apple is also deepening its push into sports content. All Major League Soccer (MLS) matches are now available to Apple TV+ subscribers at no extra cost. Additionally, Apple TV+ has secured exclusive U.S. broadcasting rights for Formula 1 starting in 2026 under a five-year deal. The return of “Friday Night Baseball,” a weekly MLB doubleheader, further strengthens its live sports offering.
On the gaming side, Apple is steadily enhancing Apple Arcade to boost user engagement. The service now offers more than 200 family-friendly games, with recent additions such as DREDGE+, Unpacking+, and My Very Hungry Caterpillar+. Expanding on this momentum, Apple has announced that Nick Jr. Replay will launch on Apple Arcade on May 7, delivering a curated collection of popular kids’ content and interactive experiences, reinforcing Apple’s focus on family-friendly entertainment.
Apple’s installed base — now exceeding 2.5 billion active devices — continues to provide a solid foundation for Services expansion. Customer engagement remains strong, with both transacting and paid accounts hitting all-time highs in the fiscal first quarter. Apple expects second-quarter fiscal 2026 revenues to grow between 13% and 16% year over year. Services revenues are projected to grow at a pace similar to that seen in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The Zacks Consensus Estimate currently forecasts that Services is pegged at $30.39 billion, implying 14.1% year-over-year growth.
