Apple and Amazon Ride Revenue Beat Amid AI Spending Skepticism

TL;DR Summary
Apple and Amazon beat expectations in Q2: Apple revenue $109.4B with EPS of $2.02 and Amazon revenue $200.6B, driven by AWS growth and ad revenue. Apple’s services revenue missed forecasts, and Amazon’s free cash flow declined. Amazon stock jumped after hours; Apple remains a market leader and, after this quarter, has become the world’s most valuable company as Tim Cook passes the CEO helm to John Ternus, who plans to expand entertainment. Investors still weigh ongoing AI-spending by tech giants amid broader market volatility.
