Amazon outperformed the Nasdaq Composite by 4.49 percentage points.
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh said AI growth had exceeded even proponents’ expectations. Amazon led the Magnificent Seven after the remarks.
The move also followed fresh bullish analyst commentary and renewed attention to AWS infrastructure demand.
There was no new Amazon earnings release Friday.

| Reported net income | $62.6B |
| Non-operating other income | $53.4B |
| Main driver | Anthropic investment |
| Q3 operating-income guide | $22.5B–$26.5B |
The guide midpoint is about 11% below Q2 operating income. Reported EPS should not be read as recurring operating profit.
Consensus: Strong Buy · 60 analysts · $230 low · $405 high.
Targets were checked Aug. 29, 2026. They can lag capex revisions and market-rate changes.
| Signal | Constructive | Warning |
|---|---|---|
| AWS growth | Stays near 37% | Capacity arrives before demand |
| Free cash flow | Returns positive | Outflow deepens beyond −$7.6B |
| AWS margin | Holds near 39% | Power and depreciation compress it |
| Q3 operating income | Above $26.5B | Below $22.5B |
Amazon’s AI businesses are scaling fast enough to command a premium. The stock’s next leg depends on converting infrastructure spending back into free cash flow.
Risks: slower AI utilization, higher rates, energy constraints, depreciation and retail-cost inflation. Faster Trainium adoption or stronger AWS margins would improve the upside case.

2026 revenue-guide midpoint
Cash, restricted cash and investments
No fresh company release accompanied Friday’s decline. Heavy turnover points to valuation and position resetting after a rapid growth-and-acquisition cycle.
The stock traded 48.3% below its 52-week high of $15.28.
Q2 results beat the revenue estimate cited by Barron’s, but the adjusted EBITDA loss exceeded expectations.
| Measure | Current figure |
|---|---|
| Q3 revenue guide | $140M–$155M |
| 2026 revenue target | $525M–$550M |

43.1% Q2 2026 · 49.2% Q1 2026 · 53.1% Q2 2025
$93.3M in Q2; reported operating expense was $199.1M, including $105.8M of non-cash charges.
The core test is whether revenue approaches guidance while cash operating expense grows more slowly.
| Market capitalization | ~$4.5B |
| 2026 guide midpoint | $537.5M |
| Market cap / guided revenue | ~8.4× |
| Q2 cash pool | $1.4B |
The cash figure predates roughly $325 million of announced Q3 acquisition spending. It should not be treated as current net cash.
Range: $13–$25. Consensus: Strong Buy, according to Investing.com on Aug. 29, 2026.
Targets can lag acquisition costs, dilution and rapid changes in the share count.
| Milestone | What would help | What would hurt |
|---|---|---|
| Q3 revenue | At or above $147.5M midpoint | Backlog converts more slowly |
| Platform profitability | Adjusted EBITDA breakeven by Q4 2026 | Integration costs extend losses |
| Company-wide profitability | Target holds for Q4 2027 | More equity-funded acquisitions |
| Gross margin | Rebounds toward 50% | Mix remains near 43% |
The order book can support another sharp revenue step-up. Friday’s 9.7% decline says the market now wants proof that each new dollar of sales brings Ondas closer to profitability.
Main risks: backlog timing, acquisition integration, margin dilution and further share issuance. Faster defense procurement or a quicker margin recovery would improve the upside case.

Nvidia lost about $251B on Friday and surrendered roughly half of Thursday's earnings rally. The business still offers 106% revenue growth, but a 74% margin guide and a 13.6× annualized sales run-rate leave little room for ordinary execution.
