The second-quarter earnings season is here, and on July 25, Big Tech giant Amazon (AMZN) is scheduled to report its financial results. As a long-term AMZN stock bull, I’m confident the company’s positive momentum will persist in Q2, driven by its shift to higher-margin services, advancements in AI, and Amazon Web Services (AWS), its crown jewel. In this article, I’ll focus on expectations for the June quarter, and I’ll answer the following questions: how strongly has Wall Street projected Amazon...

The NBA’s media rights negotiations are heading into overtime.

Evercore ISI managing director and head of internet research Mark Mahaney joins Catalysts to discuss his top picks in the tech sector ahead of this week's major earnings. "We've had a big rally in a lot of these stocks. I refer to six stocks as the Super Six.' It's Google (GOOG, GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Meta [Platforms] (META), Netflix (NFLX), Spotify (SPOT), Trade Desk (TTD). They're all up 30 to 60% year to date.

I don't think it will. I think robotaxis will be part of the ridesharing solution." On the other hand, Mahaney does not have Amazon in his top three list of tech stocks despite maintaining its Buy rating.
