Wells Fargo named Amazon its top long position and preferred mega-cap stock heading into third-quarter earnings, expecting another positive revision to AWS revenue and operating income. The firm cites AWS revenue acceleration and strong margins as the main drivers, while acknowledging near-term operating income risks from fuel costs and longer-term uncertainty around agentic commerce. It views Amazon's setup as more straightforward than other mega-cap tech names, where hedge fund positioning adds complications. Wells Fargo also sees AWS as the key driver of positive estimate revisions after the report.

- Q3 TrendsSuggest Amazon Will Rise on Oct. 29 But That’s Not Why I’m Buying
The author follows Amazon (AMZN) ahead of its Q3 earnings on Oct. 29 and says the main reason to hold is AWS rather than the earnings beat. Amazon beat Q3 EPS estimates in 2023, 2024 and 2025, and the stock rose 6.83%, 6.19% and 9.58% on those earnings days. AWS growth accelerated from 20% in Q3 2025 to 37% in Q2 2026, when AWS delivered $42.23 billion in revenue at a 39.4% operating margin and a $496 billion backlog. Risks cited include trailing free cash flow of -$7.6 billion, about $200 billion of planned 2026 capex, and reported earnings that include a $53.4 billion Anthropic gain. The article also compares Amazon's P/E of 36 with Microsoft's 30.
- What Wall Street Expects from The Q3 Cloud and Infrastructure Scorecard: Microsoft Vs. Amazon
Azure grew 43% and AWS 37% last quarter, and investors want proof that heavy AI spending is turning into revenue. Microsoft 365 Copilot passed 30 million paid seats, while Amazon's AI and chips businesses each passed $25 billion in annualized run rates. Microsoft's commercial remaining performance obligations rose 84% (25% without OpenAI), while its free cash flow fell 23.2% to $19.64 billion. Amazon's trailing 12-month free cash flow was negative $7.6 billion after $54.21 billion of capital spending in one quarter, and its $5.75 EPS included a $53.4 billion one-time gain tied mainly to its Anthropic stake. Microsoft's operating margin is 46.8% versus Amazon's 11.2%, and Amazon is expected to report on October 29.

- Should You Buy Amazon Stock Before Oct. 29?
Amazon will report third-quarter results on October 29, with focus on Amazon Web Services (AWS), its fastest-growing and most profitable segment. AWS generated $42.2 billion in revenue in Q2 2026, up 37% year over year, and held a $496 billion order backlog as of June 30. Sales of its own chips, such as Trainium, were tracking at an annualized rate of over $25 billion as of June 30. Earnings of $12.44 per share over the last four quarters put its P/E ratio at 21.2, compared with 30.2 for the Nasdaq-100. However, over $69 billion of the $120.7 billion pre-tax profit in the first half of 2026 came from paper gains on its Anthropic investment, and the author sees the stock as potentially attractive ahead of the report while stressing that long-term returns matter more.
- Amazon Stock Could Climb Higher as AWS Becomes an Even Bigger Growth Engine
The article argues AWS could drive Amazon's valuation, with growth of 37% last quarter, the fastest in 18 quarters, and a backlog of $496 billion. Second-quarter revenue rose 19.6% to $200.61 billion, and GAAP EPS of $5.75 was lifted by a $53.4 billion Anthropic gain. However, a planned capital spending of about $200 billion in 2026 and recent negative free cash flow of -$7.6 billion raise doubts about Amazon's ability to fund its ambitions. The author's price target is $329.06, 31.62% above the $250 close on October 16, with a bull case of $378.24 and a bear case of $283.26.
- AWS Margin Expansion and Retail Execution Power Amazon (AMZN) in Q3
Wedgewood Partners reported that its Wedgewood Composite returned 2.5% net in the third quarter of 2026, compared with 2.3% for the S&P 500 and 0.9% for the Russell 1000 Growth. In its investor letter, the firm named Amazon a leading contributor, citing AWS revenue growth accelerating to 37% from 17% a year earlier and a 63% rise in the segment's operating income. AWS backlog of around $500 billion is more than double last year's level and up 37% from 90 days earlier, and Wedgewood said this demand supports a plan to double AWS capacity from circa 2025 levels by 2027. Advertising grew 26% and generated over $75 billion in revenue over the past 12 months. As of October 16, 2026, Amazon closed at $250.00, with a market capitalization of $2.7 trillion and a 21.22% gain over the past year.

Devon's Q2 2026 oil realizations averaged $88.09 per barrel against WTI's $92.47, and its Q3 guidance calls for 550,000 to 560,000 barrels per day as the Coterra merger adds a full quarter.

- Musk's SpaceX is still restricting Starlink in Ukraine and the toll is rising
According to Ukrainian officials and an expert, Starshield, the military version of Starlink, remains throttled in Ukraine, and since October 14, any drone traveling above 100 mph has lost its connection, disrupting some missions. Despite recent comments from President Donald Trump that service was restored, Starshield terminals still had problems on Friday, according to Dmitri Alperovitch and Zelenskyy. The Wall Street Journal reported Trump had called Elon Musk about lifting the restrictions, but Trump later said he had not spoken with Musk, and Musk and SpaceX did not respond to requests for comment. Amid the disruptions, Ukraine has floated other satellite communications options, including a letter of intent with Nokia and ICEYE, though experts say alternatives are not yet comparable to Starlink.
- Doctorate-Holding Chairman Repeatedly Hit by Forced Margin Share Sales
Kosy Chairman Nguyễn Việt Cường has had shares sold under margin forced liquidation again, the second time in under a month, as KOS extends a run of limit-down sessions. From 19 to 23 October 2026 he lost 175,287 shares, cutting his stake from 33.17% to 33.09% of charter capital, bringing his total sold across recent periods to 736,951 shares. Two related entities, Kosy Real Estate Investment Co., Ltd. and Leo Regulus Investment JSC, were also sold 445,500 and 175,870 shares. KOS closed at 5,050 VND on 23 October, its 25th consecutive limit-down session and more than 82% below 32,950 VND on 16 September. Kosy attributed the pressure to weak liquidity, selling sentiment and some brokers cutting margin lending ratios and liquidating positions, while its reviewed H1 2026 net profit of over 15 billion VND, up about 121%, was only near 13% of its full-year plan.
