Alpha Score of 62 reflects moderate overall profile with strong momentum, weak value, strong quality, moderate sentiment.
Amazon shares fell 0.8% to $265.13, a modest pullback from the stock's 52-week high of $284.02. The move came as the broader market digested news that U.S. national debt is approaching $40 trillion, with interest costs now exceeding Pentagon spending. That macro backdrop hit consumer discretionary names broadly, traders said. Amazon's fundamentals remain strong. Revenue grew 15.8% year over year, and EPS surged 89.7% to $12.43. Net margin widened to 17.4%. The Alpha Score sits at 66, with quality at 82.8 and momentum at 74. Value scores lower at 47.6, reflecting the stock's premium multiple. The P/E of 21.89 is above the sector median, but the growth trajectory supports it. Next week's retail sales data will test whether consumer spending can sustain Amazon's revenue momentum into the holiday quarter.
Amazon shares fell 1.83% to $267.28, pulling back from the upper end of a 52-week range that stretches from $198.79 to $284.02. The move came without a company-specific catalyst, tracking a broader consumer discretionary selloff. The stock still carries strong fundamentals. Revenue grew 15.8% year over year, while EPS jumped 89.7%. Net margins hit 17.4%, and the P/E sits at 21.89 — reasonable given the growth rate. Alpha Score is 66.1, with quality leading at 82.8 and momentum at 74.1. Value scores a weak 47.6, reflecting the premium multiple. Watch for next quarter's guidance. The current valuation assumes the margin expansion holds. Any sign of deceleration could test the $250 support zone.
Amazon shares fell 2.09% to $272.27, pulling back from the upper end of a 52-week range that stretches from $198.79 to $284.02. The stock trades at 21.89 times earnings, a discount to its five-year average, with EPS of $12.43 and net margins near 17.4%. Revenue grew 15.8% year over year while EPS surged 89.7%, reflecting the margin leverage from AWS and advertising. The broader tape had two crosscurrents that likely weighed on sentiment. Oil edged higher on Middle East tensions, a headwind for consumer discretionary names. Separately, a report on AI's new bottlenecks flagged power and memory constraints, not chips, as the next limit on compute growth. Power costs near data centers have climbed 267% in five years. Amazon's cloud business, the largest in the industry, faces the same infrastructure cost pressure as peers. Alpha Score sits at 69.5, with momentum at 82.7 and quality at 82.8. Value scores a weak 47.6. The next catalyst is the July retail sales print, which will test whether consumer spending can sustain the current earnings trajectory.
Amazon rose 0.82% to $274.48, inching closer to its 52-week high of $284.02. The stock trades at 21.89 times trailing earnings, with EPS up 89.7% year over year and revenue growth at 15.8%. Net margins widened to 17.4%, a sign the cost-cutting and AWS profitability are flowing through. The Alpha Score sits at 68.4, pulled up by momentum at 86 and quality at 82.8. Value scores a middling 47.6, and sentiment is neutral at 50. The geopolitical headlines out of the Middle East — Israel preparing for possible strikes on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz closure — haven't dented the name yet, but a sustained oil spike could pressure consumer spending later this year. Next week's retail sales print will offer a cleaner read on the consumer backdrop.
Amazon closed at $272.26, down a fraction of a percent. The stock sits just 1% below its 52-week high of $274.99. Revenue grew 15.8% year over year, while earnings per share jumped 89.7%. Net margin hit 17.4%, a record for the e-commerce giant. The Alpha Score of 66.4 reflects strong momentum at 86.4 and quality at 82.8. Value, at 36.3, is the weak spot – the stock trades at 30.97 times earnings. That multiple is high, but EPS growth of nearly 90% this year makes it easier to stomach. Sentiment sits at 53.3, neutral. The next catalyst is the quarterly report due in late April. Analysts will look for cloud revenue acceleration and margin trends. For now, the stock is grinding higher on fundamentals.
Amazon's quarterly filing for the period ended June 30, 2026, reveals several capital structure and investment activities. The company issued new senior notes in March, May, and June 2026 denominated in USD, EUR, CHF, and CAD, with maturities ranging from 2028 to 2064. Amazon also holds investments in OpenAI and Anthropic, including preferred stock and warrants, and has a line of credit with Anthropic. The company maintains a share repurchase program authorized in March 2022. A subsequent event in July 2026 includes additional USD-denominated notes and floating-rate notes due 2029.
Amazon.com filed an 8-K on July 30, 2026, announcing its second-quarter financial results. The filing incorporates by reference a press release (Exhibit 99.1) and additional information on non-GAAP financial measures (Exhibit 99.2). The report was signed by CFO Brian T. Olsavsky. No specific financial figures are included in the filing text itself.
Amazon.com closed a $24.923 billion debt offering on July 9, the company said in an 8-K filing. The sale included eight series of notes with maturities from 2029 to 2066. Coupons range from a floating rate to 6.250% on the longest-dated notes. Net proceeds came to roughly $24.867 billion after underwriting discounts, before other offering expenses. Barclays, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, and Morgan Stanley managed the underwriting. The offering was registered under a shelf filing from February 2026. The notes were issued under an indenture originally dated 2012, with Computershare Trust Company as successor trustee. The filing included the underwriting agreement, an officers' certificate establishing the note terms, and a legal opinion from Gibson Dunn.
On June 12, Amazon closed a C$14 billion bond offering in five tranches, all denominated in Canadian dollars. The company sold C$1.25 billion of 3.400% notes maturing in 2029, C$2.5 billion of 3.700% notes due 2031, C$2.0 billion of 4.000% notes due 2033, C$3.5 billion of 4.350% notes due 2036 and C$4.75 billion of 5.000% notes due 2056. The aggregate public offering price was C$13.967 billion. After underwriting discounts but before other offering expenses, net proceeds came to roughly C$13.934 billion. The notes were issued under an indenture first signed in 2012 and later amended. Terms for each series were set by an officers' certificate dated June 12. The sale was registered under a shelf registration statement Amazon filed on Form S-3 in February 2026. Amazon will use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, the company said in the underwriting agreement filed as an exhibit. The underwriters were not named in the 8-K summary, but the underwriting agreement itself lists them. The notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with Amazon's other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. The offering closed on June 12, the same day the 8-K was filed.
On June 8, Amazon.com entered a term loan agreement with Citibank as administrative agent and other lenders. The deal gives Amazon a $17.5 billion senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility. Commitments to lend expire September 30 unless fully borrowed before then. Loans borrowed under the facility mature three years from the borrowing date. Amazon can prepay loans or reduce commitments without penalty, but prepaid amounts cannot be reborrowed. Interest rates are floating. The company can choose either the Alternate Base Rate plus a 0% margin or Term SOFR plus a margin of 0.625% to 0.875%, based on Amazon's credit ratings. Proceeds will go toward general corporate purposes. The credit agreement includes standard representations and warranties but no financial covenants. If an event of default occurs and is not cured, lenders can accelerate repayment and terminate commitments. The lenders and their affiliates have provided and may continue to provide various financial services to Amazon for customary fees. The full agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the 8-K.
