Amazon $AMZN 3Q Summary Tough to benchmark on the back of $MSFT $GOOGL $META moves already in the stock.. Forward revenue guide, AWS rev are disappointing but the profit surprises might be enough to hold these initial gains post market. Miss on cash generation also stands out.

Amazon $AMZN Earnings Setup - Favorable Indeed The only mega-cap with rapid multiple compression (and arguably the most leverage to ramp EPS). Great setup into today's print but will the consumer pull-back bite? Results after the bell today.

Amazon $AMZN Earnings Setup - Looks Cheap vs. History The only cheaper valuation into the print was Q3, which saw a 7% positive move. Marginal outperformance vs. the index. Looks favorable on those two metrics.

Apple $AAPL Earnings Setup - Ugly, but Does it Matter? Since 2007, $AAPL has only traded north of 31x once into earnings (Jan '21) - and it sold off 3.5% in response. Given $AAPL is all about forward AI, maybe today's results don't even matter. Results after the bell.
