Alphabet Sets Positive Precedent
Alphabet recently shocked the market with impressive 31% EPS growth and a substantial 30% rise in cloud revenues, hitting a new quarterly record. Despite the positive performance, concerns over AI CapEx led to some post-earnings pressure on shares.
Microsoft’s Cloud Continues to Shine
For Microsoft, recent cloud results demonstrated a remarkable 23% year-over-year revenue growth, providing a beacon of stability following a period of slowing rates. The upcoming release is anticipated to show significant growth, with a 20% increase in revenues from the previous year.
Amazon’s Cloud Potential
In its recent financials, Amazon Web Services (AWS) delivered solid results with a 17% year-over-year growth in net sales, reversing a trend of negative surprises. Expectations are high for the upcoming earnings report, with Cloud revenue estimated to climb by 17.2% year-over-year.
Implications for Investors
This earnings season, all eyes are on major players like Amazon and Microsoft. While Alphabet’s positive results set an optimistic tone, investors will be closely monitoring the year-over-year growth rates of these cloud giants. Any deviation from expectations could sway market sentiment, making it a pivotal moment for stakeholders.
