Can Amazon’s Q4 Earnings Report Push AMZN Stock Higher? Barchart.com

Amazon (AMZN) will report its fourth quarter 2025 financial results on Thursday, Feb. 5. Despite being the leader in cloud and e-commerce and seeing growing spending on AI infrastructure, Amazon’s stock performance has remained muted over the past year. Over the last 12 months, Amazon's shares are almost flat. By comparison, the S&P 500 ($SPX) has climbed more than 15% during the same period. This gap highlights that, despite its market leadership, Amazon has faced challenges that have weighed on investor sentiment. One key factor limiting Amazon’s upside has been the intensifying competition in the cloud computing space. Rivals such as Alphabet’s (GOOG) (GOOGL) Google Cloud and Microsoft (MSFT) Azure continue to aggressively expand, putting pressure on Amazon Web Services (AWS), which is also AMZN’s strongest growth engine. At the same time, Amazon’s rising spending on AI infrastructure has raised concerns about near-term profitability, even as it positions the company for future opportunities. With AMZN stock trailing the market over the past year, will the upcoming Q4 earnings report be an important catalyst? Will Amazon Deliver Strong Growth in Q4? While Amazon's stock has underperformed the broader market, the company’s core businesses continue to deliver steady growth. The momentum in its e-commerce, cloud, and digital advertising segments will likely sustain in Q4, helping the company to deliver double-digit top-line growth. Management expects net sales between $206 billion and $213 billion, representing year-over-year (YoY) growth of 10% to 13% compared with the fourth quarter of 2024. Amazon’s retail business should remain a key driver, supported by Amazon’s competitive pricing and fast delivery. Seasonal demand from holiday shopping will provide an additional lift, while Amazon’s logistics improvements should help reduce delivery times and fulfillment costs. These efficiencies, combined with steady Prime engagement and resilient consumer spending, should a...

Getty Images Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) reached a new record high of $126,184.05 in October 2025, where the leading cryptocurrency ran out of upside steam. After falling 36% to a low of $74,604.12 on February 2, the price has substantially corrected. I last wrote about the Bitwise Crypto Industry Innovators ETF ( BITQ ) on Seeking Alpha on September 25, 2025 , when I concluded with the following: BITQ provides a diversified option for investors and traders seeking crypto exposure without owning the cryptocurrencies or specific companies that benefit from the asset class’s bullish trend. BITQ was trading at $24.54 per share on September 25. The ETF rose to a high of $31.45 in October and dropped 40.5% to a low of $18.70 in November. At $75,835 per token on February 3, Bitcoin was 39.9% below its October peak, and BITQ at $20.30 was 35.5% below its October high. I rated BITQ a Buy in September, and I reiterate that Buy recommendation now in early February 2026. Bitcoin and cryptos have a long history of extreme volatility Bitcoin is the leading cryptocurrency. At the $75,800 per token level, the market capitalization was around $1.514 trillion, or 58.9% of the entire asset class’s value. Bitcoin’s volatility reflects the price variance of all cryptocurrencies. Monthly Bitcoin Chart (Barchart) The monthly chart highlights Bitcoin’s extreme volatility. The recent correction from over $126,000 to below $76,000 is nothing new; it is another chapter in the volatile asset’s short history. So far, Bitcoin has held above the April 2025 support level at $74,496.62 with the recent low at $74,604.12. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency supporters argue that blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies reflect the technological advances in finance. Detractors believe that cryptocurrencies have no intrinsic value and can be used for nefarious purposes. Moreover, governments survive and thrive on the power of the purse, or controlling the money supply. Cryptocurrencies could threaten governmental inf...

In Brief All startups accepted into YC will soon have the option to receive their seed checks via stablecoins, crypto YC partner Nemil Dala told The Block. YC’s famous “standard deal” is that it invests $500,000 into startups accepted into its program in exchange for 7% of their companies. Now that deal is hitting the blockchain (Base, Solana, and Ethereum, to be exact), starting with the upcoming spring batch. Dala said that stablecoin transfers are often more effective, specifically for founders working in emerging markets. But also, YC is putting its money where its mouth is, so to speak. Last fall, YC partnered with Base and Coinbase Ventures to encourage founders to build more blockchain-related companies. Interest in blockchain tech is on the rise again in Silicon Valley as the US has taken steps toward more formal, crypto-friendly regulation of the industry.

Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG) is set to report its fourth quarter financial results after the bell on Wednesday amid growing optimism from Wall Street over the Google parent company's AI leadership. Analysts tracked by Bloomberg expect revenue to climb more than 15% to $111.4 billion and earnings per share to rise to $2.65 from $2.15 in the year-ago period. The projected jump in revenue is expected to be spurred by a more than 35% rise in Google Cloud revenue to $16.2 billion. Google Services — the segment including ad revenue from Search and YouTube, which accounts for the majority of Alphabet's revenue — is estimated to see revenue climb a more modest 13% from the previous year to $94.9 billion, per Bloomberg consensus estimates. Alphabet stock could rise or fall as much as 5% following its fourth quarter report, according to Bloomberg data. The stock has soared 25% since its last earnings report showed the tech giant beginning to benefit from a slew of AI deals with Meta (META), Anthropic (ANTH.PVT), and OpenAI (OPAI.PVT) involving its cloud segment. The release of Google's Gemini 3 AI model — which outperformed competing models on benchmark tests and prompted rival OpenAI to declare a "code red" — as well as the announcement of a landmark deal with Apple, cemented Alphabet's position as an AI winner and pushed the stock higher. Read more: Live coverage of corporate earnings At the same time, the broader "Magnificent Seven" group of Big Tech stocks is collectively down about 3% over that period, led by a 24% drop in Microsoft shares. Alphabet is positioned to boast "the highest quality top-line AI acceleration stories in the public universe," Raymond James analyst Josh Beck wrote in a late-January note to clients, upgrading the stock's rating to a Strong Buy from Outperform. He pointed to Google's advantage as a full-stack AI provider, as the company has begun selling its AI chips, called TPUs, to external customers rather than reserving them solely for internal use.

城堡投资的创始人肯·格里芬表示，特朗普政府奖励效忠者的倾向并不受企业高管的欢迎。此外，他还批评这位总统在任期内利用职权为家族谋利。 “大多数首席执行官并不希望落到必须奉承某届政府的境地，”格里芬周二在接受采访时表示。“当美国政府显露出偏袒倾向时，高管们会担心自己的事业成败可能取决于是否公开支持现任政府。” 肯·格里芬 这已不是格里芬第一次批评特朗普。上个月，他曾表示，更多的美国企业高管应该就特朗普的政策直言不讳。 格里芬说，特朗普在任期内做出有利于家族财富的政策决定是“失策”之举，让人怀疑公众利益是否得到保障。 据媒体去年报道，从连任竞选初期到2025年5月，特朗普的净资产翻了一番，达到约54亿美元。 格里芬还表示，他并未排除投身政界的可能性。 他说道，“我愿意相信在未来某个生命阶段，我会参与公共服务”。但其补充称，这在未来几年内可能不太会发生。 责任编辑：丁文武

Earnings Call Insights: Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (EPD) Q4 2025 Management View Co-CEO A. Teague highlighted a record $2.7 billion of EBITDA for the fourth quarter, surpassing the previous record of $2.6 billion set in Q4 2024. Teague stated, "We brought on a number of assets in 2025. Frac 14 in mid-October, Mentone West and Orion midyear, several gathering and treating projects in the Permian, the Neches River Terminal, ethane export train midyear, midyear start-up of diluent exports to Canada and finally, Bahia NGL pipeline in December. All these assets performed well, but they also filled holes created by a decline in our commodity-sensitive businesses and marketing spreads." He emphasized the impact of lower crude prices, noting, "Crude oil prices averaged about $12 a barrel lower than in 2024. That reduced many of the pricing spreads we benefited from over the prior 3 years." Teague shared that the company is "fully contracted on our ethane export terminals and all 20 processing trains that we have -- we will have online in the Permian by year-end" and that LPG exports are "highly contracted through the end of this decade, and we continue to see strong interest for additional long-term commitments." Co-CEO W. Fowler reported, "Net income attributable to common unitholders was $1.6 billion or $0.75 per common unit on a fully diluted basis for the fourth quarter of 2025... our adjusted cash flow from operations, which is cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital grew 5% to $2.4 billion." Fowler announced a distribution of $0.55 per common unit for Q4 2025, a 2.8% increase year-over-year, and total capital returned to equity investors for 2025 of $5 billion, comprised of $4.7 billion in distributions and $300 million in buybacks.
