- Amazon Soars 5% as Phillip Securities Upgrades It to Buy After Earnings Sell-Off
Amazon (AMZN) shares rose 5% after Phillip Securities upgraded the stock to Buy with a 330 USD price target, following a Friday sell-off over AI spending that outpaced cash flow. Phillip analyst Helena Wang pointed to demand visibility: AWS revenue grew 39% to 46.0 billion USD last quarter, backlog reached 578 billion USD, and CEO Andy Jassy projected AWS growth above 40% in both 2027 and 2028. Against this, capital spending has nearly tripled since late 2024 to 77.3 billion USD in the September quarter, leaving trailing 12-month free cash flow at a 42.4 billion USD outflow. Alphabet and Meta face similar cash shortfalls, while Nvidia stands to benefit from the spending. Amazon's forward P/E fell to 24x, its lowest in five years and less than half its five-year average of 49x.

- Amazon is on a course to spend half a trillion dollars in a single year: JPMorgan
JPMorgan tech analyst Doug Anmuth projects Amazon's capital expenditure will reach 395 billion USD in 2027, up 77% year over year, and 476 billion USD in 2028, up 20%, as he expects capex growth not to slow next year. He argues management's strong visibility into demand gives it confidence to underwrite growth above 40% over the next two years and to invest even more aggressively in AI infrastructure. Amazon itself estimated 2026 capex at 220 billion USD, while CEO Andy Jassy said 2027 spending would be 'meaningfully more' without giving a figure. Trailing 12-month free cash flow turned to a 42.4 billion USD outflow, driven by a 94.8 billion USD year-over-year increase in property and equipment purchases, mainly for AI. Shares fell over 1% on Friday before rebounding Monday, lifting year-to-date gains to 9% versus 11% for the S&P 500.
- Tempus AI Revenue Up 23%; Gains Cut Net Loss: Rapid Earnings Reaction
Tempus AI (TEM) reported third-quarter revenue up 23% to $411.5 million and raised its 2026 revenue outlook; shares rose about 3.9% in pre-market trading. The net loss narrowed to $14.9 million from $80.0 million, mainly due to $42.8 million in unrealized gains on marketable securities, while the operating loss barely changed at $56.9 million versus $61.0 million. Data and Applications revenue rose 33% to $108.1 million, with a gross margin above 71%, which lifts overall margins. Adjusted EBITDA reached $25.6 million versus $1.5 million a year earlier, though it excludes about $48 million in stock-based pay. The adjusted EBITDA outlook held at about $65 million, implying about $34 million in the fourth quarter, and the article flags Hereditary testing revenue, up just 3%, as a point to watch.
- Bitmine Buys More Ethereum as Tom Lee Calls the Binance Hack Bullish
Bitmine Immersion Technologies bought 8,573 more ETH in its latest weekly purchase, lifting total holdings to 6,060,506 ETH, worth about $13.7 billion, or 4.9% of Ethereum's 122.2 million token supply. The company said it is 99% of the way to its goal of owning 5% of the network. Chairman Tom Lee said the record $6.4 billion Binance hack, which the FBI attributed to North Korea, showed crypto's resilience, as ETH fell only 4%, compared with an 8% drop on the day of the $1.5 billion Bybit hack in February 2025. Lee cited six reasons, including Binance's ability to cover all customer losses and the FBI naming North Korea within two days. As of Nov. 1, total holdings, including cash, other tokens and investments, reached $14.5 billion, and about 86% of its ETH is staked through its MAVAN platform, with projected annual staking revenue of about $358 million.
